Its a great name....and that will have to be paid for....£10 billion for Cadburys....

so whats £200m for this ... peanuts...

Over the years everybody in the uk has bought from this company...give or take......Big brand that with the right team can be a lot bigger.....160...no way.. imo ...

do not be to keen to part with these imo....

What would AC ...Average be/// /they will want a good bung on top...they have held for a long time.....and would have been part of the recent manipulation......

My Target £3.

When they have inside info on the the future numbers to come through the pipe line....... we could all do with the inside track......pro-active involvement helping the management...and themselves..lol

Max - Caught that, hmmm your gunsights are way higher than mine with THT.

I can see no reason for CA to have took such a sizeable position here unless they are aware of a bigger plan. They have to a large extent added 50% to the share price since March 15.

From the last 'tin hats on' TS THT have risen but realistically unless they find a massive oil reserve under their bit of Alfreton who ever wants THT would not need to bid above £1.60p imv.


That is what I expect to see here very shortly, Hart leaving I am taking as a marker for that event, indeed he could be part of the bid team.

In any event I will be more than happy with anything North of £1.40

Good point get it back to a sensible base line and build from there...

Stud...message in your box ..yesterday

[stud-muffin] 08/6/2015 16:53

Not sure abut the site or even the virtue of making abroad - but I would like to see THT move upward Tuesday, we have let enough off the bus time to move up again?

My guess is there is a pretty bug buy order being worked through holding the share price against some selling.

If we clear this next stop looks like high teens/early twenties at which point I think any rise will be on the back of solid bid news.

[maximillian1] 08/6/2015 09:16

How much land do they own..juststhe Alfreton site.... that looks about 10 acres...

And when you look on google maps....could be for housing..if production went elsewhere..

Three weeks away from Hart leaving and still no one outside here is joining up the dots.

Our buyer CA has been picking up shares now solidly since April and with the odd pause to allow holders off the bus the price has pretty resolutely risen.

The two events are I am sure connected, CA are buyers for a bid that is imminent and will (IMO) arrive directly after Harts departure.

I have raised my bid target up to £1.60. I am confident it will happen and soon.

More buying by CA. They must be pretty certain of a rewarding end game plan here.

[lauders] 02/6/2015 00:26

WOW! Talk about a bullish reversal on the day! What is going on at THT? As others have said, there must be a reason for this strength. With luck some good news will be on its way this week. Not exactly water-tight if something does get announced though. Obviously a few people are in the know. Could be CA just buying, buying, buying of course. But why? Intriguing.....

[kumala] 01/6/2015 15:42

Good day......:)K

[stud-muffin] 01/6/2015 15:31

Hmmm a day or so out but the result looks the same.

Pretty sure poor old THT is going thee way of Cadbury's - £1.40 is my guess.

100% (and predicted on here from the start - so no hindsight stuff) since April.

Way to go....

[maurillac] 01/6/2015 15:23

i agree. there must be something brewing. the share price doesn`t rise like this for no reason. we will of course be last to know ...

Nice bowl formation....:)K

[fozzie] 01/6/2015 15:20

Big jump up there, something definetly happening here. Another CA buy? Corporate action? This rise is off the back of another damp squib of a trading statement so it has to be pretty big news when it drops.

[lauders] 01/6/2015 07:52

LOL! I shouldn't have said anything ;-) One day we might breach the barrier!

[maximillian1] 01/6/2015 07:51

Maybe building a bit of a resistance support...for the moment..

[lauders] 01/6/2015 07:23

Will THT break through the 100p barrier this week? Had two attempts and third time lucky would be nice!

[kumala] 29/5/2015 07:07

£1 today. !!!!!K

I emailed Jonathan hart when I had problems placing an order online. I had an instant reply and he arranged for a colleague to make sure I was satisfied and they even sent a free gift for my inconvenience. A fantastic response from him. By the way I am no longer a holder here was lucky enough to come out with a good profit but hope the company can do well for all long term holders.

[goodapple] 28/5/2015 13:09

I wrote twice to Mr Hart with some constructive comments about the business, and branding in particular.
Never did get a reply, or even an acknowledgement. Bad sign.
Hope new CE has eyes and ears open.

[maximillian1] 28/5/2015 09:04

Looks like a move above 100 today....

[maximillian1] 28/5/2015 08:33

Well they believe in the long term recovery thats for sure..

[nigelmoat] 28/5/2015 08:23

Crystal Amber holding now increased to 16.74%

[maximillian1] 22/5/2015 17:27

europa ..stick with this.....patience will be rewarded imo

[cheaky monkey] 22/5/2015 17:01

Europa, I know how you feel. I've been long term holder here, watched them go up & sat on nice profit, then watched them go all the way down, and down until sitting on a loss. Then after last update decided to sell @75 and blow me, nothing but rising since. Grrrrrrr!Note to self, when sitting on a nice profit, take some off the table.GLA

[europa79] 22/5/2015 16:34

If only I had a Crystal (Amber) ball !
This is my biggest holding by far but after that last trading statement I shed some at 67.5 pence - DOH !!
Then I went and bought some hyped-up pile of tosh of which I am currently down about 25% - DBL DOH !!
