I suspect they are short one minute, long the next and have made a great deal more money than us

[sir rational] 17/3/2011 14:56

I toldya!

It's a high better stock

How comes TW rallies more than its peers?

[sir rational] 17/3/2011 14:25

Woof!

Budget Day might see 45p!

You heard it hear first

[the old dog] 17/3/2011 14:24

How can people say the rises are slow and painful? This has put on, like, about 70% from 23p, in four months. Are we all watching the same channel?

Recently it got overbought, and the news has been awful. What proper-cap stock puts on straight-line growth in times like these?

If only my average wasn't 45...

Woof

Mr Gregory also predicted a stamp duty land tax holiday.

He said: "The new 5 per cent stamp duty land tax (SDLT) rate is due to come in on properties with a value of over £1m, but this tax represents a substantial cost on the movement of people around the country at any value level.

"With labour mobility becoming increasingly important and with house prices showing signs of a slump, perhaps now is the time to announce another SDLT holiday for lower value homes."

He will aim to kick-start house building by hacking back planning laws, making it harder for councils and local communities to oppose big developments.

New Kid - too late now!

[sir rational] 17/3/2011 14:10

Actually that is such good news that we should get a rally all the way to budget day, events notwithstanding

[sir rational] 17/3/2011 14:05

Lyntwyn - cheers

Should mean more plots in the landbank become buildable that heretofore

[sir rational] 17/3/2011 14:02

Spenny - high better stock

[fewdollarsmore] 17/3/2011 13:52

ima - please sell then.....

[imastu pidgitaswell] 17/3/2011 13:49

Spenny - it's because I'm holding them, I would have thought that was obvious...

:-)

[fewdollarsmore] 17/3/2011 13:48

Spenny - agree the drops are like a stone but the rises are ever so slow and painful.

Osborne to clear way for developers with planning shake-up

A blueprint to kick-start a housebuilding programme across Britain by liberalising planning laws will be announced by George Osborne in the Budget next week..............


The Chancellor's decision to cut state funds for housing by more than 70 per cent by 2014/15 will make the situation worse and means that the Government will have to rely almost totally on developers to build affordable homes.

House completions have fallen from about 400,000 a year in the 1970s to a record low of about 100,000 last year. Only 33,000 homes were approved for construction in the final quarter of 2010, with only 5,000 of these social homes. Experts say that at least 232,000 homes have to be built each year to meet demand.

Under the proposal, to be part of the National Planning Policy Framework, there will be a presumption in favour of developers who want to build homes, whether or not these have been approved in council plans. The exceptions will be green belt and conservation land, which will have greater protection.

Under current policy, developers' applications can be easily blocked by councils and any attempts to appeal against decisions can be delayed with red tape, putting companies off. Ministers said that volumes of planning guidance would also be thrown out in the bid to fast-track housebuilding.

Why does TW always drop more and rise less than its peers? Largest gearing?

[redartbmud] 17/3/2011 12:25

Only 17000 ex-pats in Japan I believe?
Not mass migration is it?
Some will go to Hong Kong & continue banking there.

[sir rational] 17/3/2011 11:35

You think we will have to abandon Japan, nuclear wasteland?

[uglybetty] 17/3/2011 11:22

Repatriation of ex-pats should mean demand for property in London and surrounding areas rise and should push prices up.

[sir rational] 17/3/2011 10:29

Ima - not keen then?

They're an execrable outfit, utterly unfit to pass comment on the business of others. But that is their raison d'etre- they're the Woolworths, or maybe the equivalent of a perennial bottom division football team, of the stockbroking trade. If they ever stumbled across anyone who was any good, they would soon leave for a proper stockbroker, hence the people they have are predictably useless, theit TW analyst being a case in point.

So she upgraded to 42p on account of the TM deal being transformational - on the day after they updated the market formally. That deal has been doing the round for months, officially, and as the unpaid scribblers on here have identified many weeks and months before that, would transform TW into a different business. Not to mention passing off TW's own market update on the volumes of homes sold as their own research the day before the results.

Pitiful, laughable, pathetic and, obviously, unprofitable. Although I'm sure they're very nice people...
