Why should 25 hold, the market is very worried so the down trend will continue.

wouldnt know shaws37, my great great great ancestors built a big wall up north once, never been inclined to cross it ;;-)

Wig, better places in East Lothian. North Berwick is nice, or it used to be.

[jab118] 15/10/2010 16:13

Now then... I hope 25p holds all looks a bit Iffy !

Don't look very good does it Chaps,, ;-)

can anyone explain why one of the MM's is happy to stay at the current sell price ?

[wig123] 15/10/2010 13:54

Probably buying back their shorts.



edit: or buying to loan out further

[scars] 15/10/2010 12:26

25.6 or lower close today then!

[shaws37] 15/10/2010 11:37

Spenny, cheers mate. It's such a drag this share at the moment.

[spennysimmo] 15/10/2010 11:33

shaws, my gut feeling is identical to yours but of course time will tell.

[shaws37] 15/10/2010 11:31

Spenny, im still wondering if the recruitment of a joint broker is for selling off the American arm. I cant think why they would have a joint broker otherwise, unless it may be for another cash call which my gut feeling says - no.

Any thoughts ?

"Unless they cant refinance their debt."

That will never happen. Firstly are banks really going to want to write off another £600m of bad debt onto their books? In situations like this the banks aren't as in control as you might think.

Secondly, companies like Yell have debt mountains at many times their market cap and had no issues as such in refinancing their debt.

Thirdly, any sale or separate listing of the US division will all but wipe out TW's debt and will most likely put them in the black with leaner UK operations.

Not sure why it would fold now as it had the perfect chance when it fell to 4p.

Unless they cant refinance their debt.

Morning all. Have had a small position in these for a while now and after some positive momentum on other holdings i am keen to start rebuilding my portfolio after being slaughtered over the last few years. I am an investor and not a trader and consider that in the long term TW has massive upside potential.
Barring collapse of the company this seems a long term no brainer. I am a little concerned about TW hanging in till the housing market picks up fully again. What are the chances of this company folding is my question.

barf, its quiete possible we will drop through 25p and be closer to 20p come the 22nd, where we go after that is anyones guess. Commendable performance from the bears may I add. ;;-)
