Well l am %50 paper profit here so not doing bad ;-)

Even Laxey would be impressed with that...

[investorsiba] 05/2/2011 22:16

dog of a stock sometimes doesnt mean a dog of a company mate, no one can call quintain with its assets a dog of a company. Laxey obviously dont think it's a dog and they have a better track record than you boys or i.

Good luck all holders here, nothing against TW, i unlike some posters prefer Quintain.

50p minimum within 3 months provided TM $1b

[smurfy2001] 05/2/2011 22:07

Basket case? LOL

Taylor Wimpey could be debt free and perhaps cash in bank anytime soon. Plus they forecast for top end of analyst profit targets.

Plenty of upside to come.

QED however is a complete dog of a stock....

[investorsiba] 05/2/2011 21:53

QED - Looks only fairly valued at current level. Lyntwyn each to their own i suppose, NAV still a fair way above £1.00, news on LDO pre lets approaching, and the hilton hotel. Certainly if you believe a 60% discount to NAV is fair value in London property, i certainly wouldnt be holding a something like TW which only needs a gust of wind in the wrong direction to take the share price tumbling again.

BWY Trading update monday..

ww,gbh2, I agree with both of you. TW demands nothing more than a bit of patience imo.

I also hold QED but view it as speculative which may/may not be worth holding on to - just hoping for a pleasant surprise one day/year!Looks only fairly valued at current level.

[gbh2] 05/2/2011 11:07

ww, I currently have more confidence in this than I do in QED, better news flow and more of a market presences imo.

ludlowe : Thanks for the somewhat undeserved accolade. Of course the share price will move each day but it is the trend and fundamentals which are key. on that basis ..TW could well reach the 60p level in 2011.

Each month brings more good news for TW and the appointment of Barker typifies that. Cannot see the U.S. 'negotiations' dragging on too long.

Whichever way you look at TW its current share price is undoubtedly undervalued.

[naed] 05/2/2011 10:23

I don't like this. This stinks of four or five days of very small rises and then bang.

naed - 2 Feb'11 - 16:30 - 6674 of 6827 edit

bang what?? up or down

spennysimmo - 2 Feb'11 - 16:33 - 6675 of 6827

Down. Seen it time and time again. 4-5 days to edge up 1p and then down 1-2p in one day. I hope not but that is often the pattern.

[sequoia] 05/2/2011 00:31

Kate Barker Will add 4p to the shareprice so happy with that.

[jon827] 05/2/2011 00:25

ffs even TW. looks like a buy!

[smurfy2001] 05/2/2011 00:23

Blimey!

Great news this IMHO!

LONDON (SHARECAST) - Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey has employed the services of former Bank of England policymaker Kate Barker as an independent non executive director.

Barker, who left the central bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) last year after a nine-year stint, will take up her new role on 21 April.

She has also led independent reviews for the government on UK Housing Supply and on Land Use Planning, and is a board member of the Homes and Communities Agency, though she'll relinquish that role before joining the company.

Chairman Kevin Beeston is "delighted" at Barker's appointment. "She will bring to the company a wealth of economic and political experience as well as a detailed knowledge of the housing industry," he says.

As well as other non-exec positions with Electra Private Equity plc and Yorkshire Building Society, Barker is a senior adviser to Credit Suisse and chairs the Northern Ireland Economic Advisory Group.

Andrew Dougal and Katherine Innes Ker are both standing down after spending eight and nine years as non-execs.

It all don`t happen in a day or week you know, we are all aware of what goes off .
timing is the all important

[smurfy2001] 04/2/2011 22:20

Not with $300bn of POMO/TOTO left Seq....

Plus Feb, another $100bn being pumped, yes, an extra $100bn!

If i'm wrong, you can quote my post, but we'll see new FTSE/DOW highs in the next months.

But watch out for late June when QE2 ends.

[sequoia] 04/2/2011 22:14

February is a bad month down we go 28p coming.
