Agreed good news, but markets could be quite volatile for a while; which I'm sure professional traders will love.

Nearly 6p up today, and didvi in accounts on Friday.

Happy days!

Great place Joe - Basel seems to have gained a formidable reputation, unlike in my day when they looked & played like one of our Sunday league clubs.

I would have transferred lock stock and barrel to the Swiss branch of the company I'd worked for since the age of fifteen. I spent many enjoyable two to four week working periods over there but the option to move permanently wasn't there twenty years ago.

They still pay a good pension though ;)

Swiss way of life second only to their integrated transport system, great place to work, unfortunately they had certain work restrictions in place when I was young enough to work out there.

Look at Switzerland. Not in EU, land locked country. Stable institutions, sound health public finances, attractive tax regime, world class education system, innovation powerhouse, model of cultural coexistence etc etc. Think we could all take a leaf out of their book...

Volatility = Opportunity. Lovely!

The Germans are ever expansionist and wish to rule an ever expanding 'europe' by political stealth. I don't see any European country suffering from not being part of 'EU'.

Lets be out and look at the bigger world picture which by technology alone is a smaller place.

Positive for who?

[gbh2] 30/6/2015 10:56

It's general market sentiment that's affecting the whole sector atm, I'm hoping a positive outcome to the Greek referendum will add to the update effect :))

[m4rtinu] 30/6/2015 10:47

But may take sometime to resolve. I think the markets will stay volatile for a while.

I know the Greeks must take some of the blame. Lack of tax collection, generous pensions. But EU and, from what I understand, Germany particularly, were keen to have Greece on board.

Tsipras only been in power for a short time and was elected to stop austerity. However, who knows what the outcome of their referendum of Sunday will show. If he gets backing again, Greece should leave the Euro. Those who "invested" in Greek financial instruments must have realised there was some risk attached. But lenders didnt expect to lose money and are punishing Greek people. Markets before democracy is wrong in my opinion.

TW. holding up well :)

[hillbrown] 30/6/2015 10:30

I don't think TW. is involved in Greece.Neither any other uk housebuilder as far as I know.

The stock market will go back up as soon as this Greek thing is resolved, be it Grexit or Capitulation. Why should you and I be paying for decades of mega tax evasion in Greece?

[homeboy35] 30/6/2015 09:33

Considering the FTSE 100 is down nearly 500, this is a mere blip.

[gbh2] 30/6/2015 08:53

Greek referendum the day before the update !!

[5uperman] 30/6/2015 08:16

Now the time to buy. These are hitting the resistance level.

[jugears] 29/6/2015 09:10

Yes I topped up as well but that was always my intention over the weekend as from experience you know what to expect, Although to be honest I thought they may try & push it lower, Looking long term I expect this to be Around £2.64 this time next year.

[martyn9] 29/6/2015 09:07

Yes joe certainly did,a total gift.

[joemillion] 29/6/2015 09:02

Well put Jugears. You certainly do have to question the mentality of panic sellers given the virtual insignificance of Greece in the global economy let alone on a UK housebuilder. Anyway took advantage this morning and topped up first thing and hope others did too.

[m4rtinu] 29/6/2015 08:50

As you say Joe - buying opp.

[jugears] 29/6/2015 08:50

When this blows over TW will be over £2.00, the only losers today are the idiots that panic sell, & who are the winners the brokers as usual. Sorry but really can't see how this effects a uk builder, just greedy fat brokers lining there pockets at the expense of the small investors, That said this is a very good buying opportunity if you are looking to make quick profit over the next week.

[joemillion] 29/6/2015 08:26

Don't worry boys we be back up to £1.90 by lunchtime... Buying opportunity only.

[homeboy35] 29/6/2015 08:06

That's a bit of a blow!

[gambos49] 28/6/2015 23:31

Not looking good anywhere for tomorrow hopefully only drop around 5%
