I think the mms are monkeying around with the offer price. Don't think the bid price has moved.

greensand - point taken, but I thought I was on the right thread.
Chart above here shows a nice rise from around 285 to around 290 this morning.
I just now compared that chart to LSE site chart which shows completely diff story, a fall from around 285 to around 280 at present. Apologies.

[diogenesj] 29/9/2006 13:04

Can't see much change from here. :-)

Peter, are you on the right board/stock? Come on Robbie get down the pub

[petersinthemarket] 29/9/2006 12:17

Rising nicely.
Needs to breach and hold 293p to remain interesting, then 300p.

Robbie are you on a detox?

[petersinthemarket] 24/9/2006 13:35

We seem to be geting there slowly, even though the share price seems to do a fair bit of lurching about.

There is definitely a rough but rising support line showing on the charts.

Stay positive chaps, and keep plugging!

.. well DJ and PIM I am doing my best.. I do expect a tenner from each of you when I get it to 330 (be about 6 weeks roughly, one pub a day)..

[diogenesj] 18/9/2006 21:38

Nice work, Robbie. :-)

[renegade master] 18/9/2006 21:17

PIM - I gave you a hand today.. you may have noticed a rise in the share price.. this is cos I went into a pub last night and whispered to a bloke.. "Pssst..gotta hot tip for you... buy VP....... tell your friends......"

[petersinthemarket] 17/9/2006 11:16

Hi Robbie,
Very pleased you are looking in.

We have previously exchanged emails once or twice - I guess no-one needs reminding of your address.

Assuming you read all previous posts, you will already appreciate that some of your fans on this thread believe you can move markets - how about that for fame!

So please buy lots more VP and announce it on your site so we can get some fire under this!

If you are a bit strapped at the moment, give us a shout and maybe we'll organise a whip-round.

best wishes,
PIM

[renegade master] 16/9/2006 11:06

... I'll try and do better next time... !

[diogenesj] 16/9/2006 10:59

Yes, pull your socks up, Robbie. We expect better from you. :-)

[renegade master] 16/9/2006 09:45

peter more than happy to chat to you.. do contact me at [e-mail] - of course it is completely my fault the share price is not going up - I really apologise!

[petersinthemarket] 16/9/2006 01:10

Sp still seems to be going nowhere special this month, anyone got Robbies number?

Yes, took some profit in the Spring, when I thought the price was high enough and I was worried about the market. I don't know why it went so high, but the shares are very illiquid (from memory, 51% held by the family and another 6% or so by the employee trust). Quite small-scale buying or selling can push them sharply up or down. I've bought a few back now mainly because I like the look of the chart, and because I do think they are reasonable value.

[petersinthemarket] 10/9/2006 17:51

>DiogenesJ - Many tks for response - can't believe how quiet this thread is.

Were you into VP just before the mkt fall in May? The share price had risen a long way to 370p - I was busy moving house at the time and missed most of that action. I would be interested in your comments on what caused the big rise?

I am fairly happy to hang on to my VP for a while, at least for the medium term, but if we saw a similarly hefty rise I would definitely consider taking profits (my AvCost 240p) with the hope that I could buy in again if it settled back again later.

Of course a takeover announcement could change everything.

As an amateur chartist, I have to say that the chart looks pretty good. It has formed a good base and appears to be rising. As an amateur fundamentalist, I'd say the shares are good value, but not stonkingly so (unless someone wants to take them over).

[petersinthemarket] 09/9/2006 19:39

Pardon me if I admit to being a bit biased here - VP is a stonking good buy!
We dont need tipsters to tell us this if we each do our homework.
Are there any experienced chartists looking in - I would be interested to here what they have to say.

Moved up quite sharply on news of the R Burns buy, P: although it drifted back a bit later. Perhaps his power is waning.

[petersinthemarket] 08/9/2006 18:21

>DiogenesJ - 7 Sep'06 - 353 of 366
............normally a very illiquid share, but I'm amazed to see how Robbie B. can still move the market.

Am I misunderstanding, or are you suggesting that Robbie Burns caused all this rise?

Surely it was more to do with someone buying over one million shares at a cost of £3M plus on the 6th, Vp putting out a positive statement from their AGM on the 7th, and RB (with genuine respect for his trading skills) simply riding on the back of it all.

Still, as a largish holder, I'm happy with the result so far.

[diogenesj] 08/9/2006 16:05

Yes, quite right, GS. We are still in the dark.

[green sand] 08/9/2006 16:02

Might not be DJ, according to Aug REFS Britel were holding 3.47% which means if they now have 2.37% it makes them the vendors? If so who bought?

[diogenesj] 08/9/2006 15:43

RNS out today: looks as though the big buyer was no one more exciting than the British Telecom pension fund.
