I had given up on this one...but it looks like it might be coming back to life.

currently can sell for 8.11

stealth reversal continues

I am sure we are not seeing the full picture here. There are a number of exchanges and we as PI's tend to only look at LSE and PLUS. We don't see what happens on CHI-X for example.

Today a number of sells were quickly absorbed with the price rising to close at a new high. Same thing is happening over at IPI.

My thoughts are that if Gartmore are adding then there must be value here. We had the comment that the stock would be worth 70p(I think) but as usual there was confusion as to wehter this was before or after hence no mad rush to buy. Maybe Gartmore know that the 70p valuation is after the pension approval and why they are subsequently buying in quantity.

"some" being the operative word
Nowhere near enough to represent any good news or real demand
Just a little optimism

Patience is still needed but no doubt it will come good eventually

there is clearly not a huge amount of stock being held by the market makers. and there is some demand.

Pension brief hinted that it would be soon, but they did not expect it to be resolved until new year.
Saying that, it is nearly upon us
Perhaps 2011 will be our year, both as a shareholder and pension rights holder!

If it is................

[psolomons] 29/12/2010 10:54

Pension sorted then !!

Looks like someone wants to accumulate here

Not been on here for a while but if as has been stated the PF has sold all its equities and put everything into bonds and gilts then they are just crazy. Without growth stocks they couldn't possibly hope to earn enough to bridge the deficit. The trick is to balance risk not remove it and there are many ways of doing that using other measures, particularly swaps.

Having said that, just choosing equities isn't an answer either it depends upon which equities and how much risk you want to take. It's all a balancing act but the main criteria is to match assets with liabilities and unless they have some element of risk they will never do that.

Don't think Gartmore are punters Brando!

[knowing] 24/12/2010 12:14

Big buy on Plus

[brando69] 23/12/2010 21:49

what do gartmore know that we don't? or are they just punting on it

[knowing] 23/12/2010 17:56

Was Gartmore involved with the Pension deal at all?

[reels] 23/12/2010 17:29

It seems Gartmore are building a sizeable stake. They could work with other significant holders to bid for control once pension position is clear!

[billybankrupt] 22/12/2010 19:06

Update to pension rights holders yesterday gave little update.
Just that the process was ongoing and they hoped to beat the 90% level underwritten by the Government.

They did not expect to close the deal prior to Xmas (surprisingly!!)
Perhaps we are close

or perhaps not

[brando69] 22/12/2010 10:45

seems someone is buying on the quiet

maybe one last hurrah yet to come

[brando69] 22/12/2010 10:16

this is edging up

[brando69] 17/12/2010 10:38

it is edging up. seems to be a bit of demand for shares

[billybankrupt] 16/12/2010 19:00

We live continually in hope

[brando69] 16/12/2010 16:49

closed with spread of just 0.05p 7.3/7.25. maybe, just maybe...

[jotoha2] 16/12/2010 14:33

Apart from a takeover , have this management discussed the possibility of allowing one of the Pension providers , ie the PRU or some other Investment House to take over the Pension Pot , thus releasing the company from its Black Hole , am sure they could grow the Pot far better than the tustees, who for some reason have decided to go for cash...which must be fatal long term.

[jotoha2] 14/12/2010 13:12

Like most trustees , they are cautious by nature , hence the flight to so called safety , our old friend Gordon managed to sell a large junk of the countries gold at around $230 and then it decided to go climbing for many years.

There is something afoot here with some insti reducing their holdings on what seems like very small volume being shown through the books.

I would like a takeover by Danone who did show some interest some years ago , but found the management not up to scratch ,maybe they will have another look soon!

[peawacks] 14/12/2010 13:06

Is that why the share price is up 10% ? !!!!
