Taylor Wimpey Share Discussion Threads

A couple of snippets courtesy of other posters on other boards


From todays independent

Taylor Wimpey, up 0.2p at 27.21p, also sidestepped a fall despite some bearish comment from KBC Peel Hunt. "Despite de-rating in recent weeks, the shares are not cheap," the broker said, repeating its "sell" view and adding: "We have concerns about covenants, refinancing, the sale of [its North American businesses], and another large equity issue. A focus on asset values has overstretched the equity, and we see a 'true' NAV [or net asset value], based on acceptable returns, of just 21p."

Barf,

Thanks for the post. Funny thing. I bought some more today (I'm hopeful that the sector is being viewed overly pessimistically). Both 5k, again a couple of minutes apart and yet again one went LSE and one Plus.

Few. Half Year Results on 3rd Aug.


Here's hoping for good news

I am a NAZ.... ahem I mean a Tory, what is it with all this liberal englisher pigs, the Chancellor...I mean the Prime Minister will not be happy with such a coalition, we should be taking West Prussia back, I mean South Wales back from those Communist sodomising money grubbing....I mean Benefit slurping, louche living, layabout Labour Hordes. Kraft durch Freude.... ahem ahem I mean radical, reforming government, with the nations interests at its heart and a strong immigration policy.

I do not read the Daily Mail. I have seen it at close quarters for extended periods and had to turn its pages.

Ah, you may have missed the Telegraph since we were at 40p.

Apparently the world is close to ending and everything,yes everything is terrible.
The economy is shot,there are meteors heading toward us,everyone is really angry and the Tories didn't ask the Telegraph's permission about this whole coalition thing.

Don't worry if you missed it though as it will be repeated tomorrow and the day after and the da.................................

every 0.000000002p rise is painful like walking with 10p sized blisters in new leather shoes

Fair shout.

I'm now standing in the corner with my index finger in front of my lips

[barf2] 29/7/2010 12:14

I'm guardedly encouraged by today so far.

Trading looks as though it is on its' merits with most trades going through LSE.

Maybe someone's had a word or they've achieved their goal or maybe somebody has located the moral compass.

Bloody hell Wimpey take it easy I'm almost getting excited here.

[bordersboy] 29/7/2010 09:28

crickey, you wouldnt think the results are due next week, in the red again.

Kunama

You are most probably right and your broker should get you he best price available from either platform.

I have friends who work for a brokerage and they have told me quite clearly who their paymaster is. The Market Maker.

The Market Maker pays to take them out for recreational days etc [just like any other rep from any other business trying to win custom]and it is with the MM that their loyalties lie.

The main point I make [yes, I know I make it over and over again but most of that is so that they know they are being watched and they most certainly do read the bulletin boards as a friend of mine contacted his broker some time back to buy about £50k of a small stock after posting on these boards that he was 'coming in for £50k's worth' only to be given a much higher offer price than he was expecting and was told that 'well, you posted on the boards about it so the MM has lifted the price if you want the stock']is that both of the trades should have gone through SETS on the LSE because there are plenty of sellers according to L2 etc but they didn't.One was steered to PLUS.

The fact that buyers quite often pay more for their stock through PLUS than the current offer price on the book is,to me, just further evidence of something amiss.

Take the regular 100000 buyer - nearly every time he pays over the offer price .It can't be the size of the order as there is plenty of stock available from the sellers as LSE shows so why does he pay more?
Because they can is the answer.

Good luck with your purchases

Oooops half the lloyds and Yell boys here ........... best give this a wide-berth then //////// lol :-0

Hey Barf,

Re your earlier post

I bought twice today a couple of minutes apart (one SIPP, one ISA)

5k worth @27.01 went through LSE
10k worth @27.04 went through Plus

Not sure this totally supports your conspiracy theory. OK the larger one went through Plus but price doesn't seem inflated; it is easily within the minute to minute fluctuations. I also thought that my broker would pick up the best price available anyway (or is that too naive?)
