Fizz, I've never recommended at stock before 'however' I've been in and out of China for at least 4 years, really struggled with it, made 'nothing' in 4 years, lol, anyway, it looks like things are on the up at long last, new CEO Ect so go look at FCSS read up everything you can find on them, but don't buy them lol.
Good luck Mr Pop.
P.S
There no way I can't ramp the stock, me and my 50K will have zero impact om a 700 million M Cap stock ok?
Sorry for off topic.

Well spotted Whizzy1. Nothing like research at ground level.
I am doing very well on PLUS. Regards

[whizzy1] 30/7/2014 16:07

I was hoping for a 5% rise today, got to 3.5%, then pulled back a tad, still, at least TP have turned a corner and hopefully carry on into a bull market up to Christmas.

Travis Perkins* (TPK-LON, 1,645p, Buy) has today released a positive set of interim results, driven by a combination of improving market conditions, increasing customer confidence and the successful introduction of a number of self-help initiatives. Trading is consistent with management expectations and the group remains well placed to benefit from ongoing growth in UK housing and construction in 2014. As a result, we expect upgrades to forecasts as we go through the year, and remain buyers of the shares.

Bowl and breakout imo:

[matt] 30/7/2014 08:04

Currently at pretty much the same level as last year despite the growth and encouraging outlook. Went close to 2000p in the intervening months though so with further evidence of business improvement things look good in my book.

Looks good to me. Let's see how she performs today then.

[wanttowin] 29/7/2014 15:20

Big sells their just before the close?

[lenzcrafter] 29/7/2014 07:32

Are we ready for take off?

[whizzy1] 26/7/2014 17:51

Apologies Sleeps.
I'm a builder/property developer, my friends/colleagues in the same business,
are the busiest we have ever been in over 30 years of trading, it's that simple.
In the position I am, my local branch manager says the branch is booming too, even back orders for some bricks of over 3 months due to high demand. No BS.
Central UK
Just to add, quite likely MM's could try (probably will) try a shake up to results, be careful.

Sunday Evening Edit:
Two analysts have rated the stock with a sell rating, nine have issued a hold rating and eleven have given a buy rating to the stock. The stock currently has a consensus rating of "Hold" and a consensus price target of GBX 1,863.79 ($31.85).

I thought the housing recovery was a bit patchy and wondered where you were as that part of the country is obviously doing well

[luckymouse] 26/7/2014 14:00

Bottoming before 30Jul interims perhaps?

[sleepy] 25/7/2014 09:20

Whizzy - where in UK are you?

[whizzy1] 25/7/2014 09:03

Put my money where my big mouth is, bought another 30K @1631p in for 50K now.
Reason: this time last year, it was often the case that I was the only customer in TP, today, I couldn't get served or park where I needed too due to the amount of builders in the place.
Too simple? Let's see, planning to hold for two years.

[sleepy] 10/7/2014 10:32

Whizzy - which is your local branch?

[whizzy1] 10/7/2014 09:03

Just bought in with half my cash.Having watched my local branch diverse into a plant hire side too.
Should take a fair chunk of the hire market, no separate accounts, I just load up equipment and it gets added to my monthly account, no mess, no fuss & saves me time, excellent idea.
Will double up when I think the timings right.

[lenzcrafter] 07/7/2014 16:51

Any suggestions on what the results may bring?

[whizzy1] 24/6/2014 23:27

Waiting on the sidelines for a lower price for a few more weeks I think.

[whizzy1] 24/6/2014 23:13

Really wanted to buy into this stock, but obv didn't want to catch a falling knife, however, I just want to add that I spoke to a branch manager today, who mentioned that HQ reckon that £20 per share was in the near future? Don't shoot the messenger!
Note
TP are now pushing the hire side very strongly, our local branch is allocating a third of the shop floor to the new hire centre.

joneschris,

most stocks that had a good run in the last year or two have been hit this year.
No share, however good the story, goes up in a straight line forever.

Sometimes we have to live with volatility.

[maximillian1] 19/5/2014 09:07

Well it did go from £2.17 to...........£20..so maybe a little pull back is in order...

[joneschris] 16/5/2014 08:40

What's going on with them? Massive drop the last 2 days, and a very poor few weeks before.

[scrabble1975] 01/5/2014 07:04

Good read across from HWDN?
