Someone has cranked up the corporate bullsh*t machine again:

"amazing selection", "impressive range", "customers are impressed", "impressive development", "superb choice", "we're particularly excited", "we're delighted", "customers will be impressed", "fantastic range".

Said someone needs to get a theasaurus and come up with a different word for 'impressive' and its derivatives. 'Fantastic' was obviously an attempt to diversify...

Latest broker ratings : Taylor Wimpey, Travis Perkins, Redrow
04/10/2011 by ukcitymedia.co.uk about : Broker Recommendations - 0 Comments - 176 words

Panmure Gordon rates housebuilder Redrow 'hold' target price 122p, believes there may be better value opportunities elsewhere in the sector although notes that the business is moving in the right direction. Panmure notes that Redrow holds the highest valuation but has £89m net debt, also highest within its class.

Goldman Sachs has downgraded building mats group Travis Perkins to 'sell' from 'neutral' setting a 12-month target price of 780p. Given continued weakness in UK construction and consumer spending the firm is likely to underperform the sector recons Goldman Sachs, noting that the company forecasts of weak volumes throughout this year.

JP Morgan rates Taylor Wimpey 'overweight' target price 58p while medium-term guidance remains within expectations the broker expects no change in the forecast but notes that growing volumes aggressively risks quality of land aquired and prime geographical choice.

Wot, somebody overseas has some money? Blimey, there's posh...

[imastu pidgitaswell] 05/10/2011 10:07

Nah, we're all just 'looking' for a positive. Currently at 36p, it is at the previous support level from April through July - which then broke - having pulled back from it (resistance) once previously.

If the market can hold itself together, we may just make it through this time, which would certainly be a buy signal. It has been quite strong relative to the FTSE 100 (of which it is not a part, but nonetheless a useful barometer) lately.

So there's some basis for wild optimism - for a change...

[aphrodites] 05/10/2011 10:06

Large overseas buying I am told!

[retsius] 05/10/2011 09:54

Do all these graphs mean the price has broken upwards and giving a buy signal.What`s the reason for todays rise?

[pilly11] 05/10/2011 09:20

we are looking pretty strong at the moment, just a shame the overall market is so volatile.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 05/10/2011 08:46

Mr Cameron has seized on housing as an area to revive sluggish growth. He said the housing market "wasn't working". He blamed the banks for not lending, so buyers could not get mortgages and builders could not build.

Mr Cameron said he was reviving one of the Conservative Party's most successful policies of the Thatcher era, the Right to Buy.

"We are rolling up our sleeves and saying right, we're going to make over government land to housebuilders on the basis that they can build now and pay for the land when they sell the homes.

"That could build 100,000 homes, 200,000 jobs in our economy. We're not stopping there, we're saying let's bring back the right to buy your council house, with proper discounts Labour got rid of.

"Let's use that money, when people choose to buy their council home, let's use that money to build homes for rent, for low rent for families currently stuck on waiting lists."

Under Right to Buy in the 1980s tenants who had lived in their homes for up to three years got a 33 per cent discount on the market value of their homes, increasing in stages up to 50 per cent for a tenancy of 20 years. Mr Cameron has yet to say what discounts he will offer.
