thanks Jaws, target almost double where we are now. This is an excellent company currently at a bargain price.

Sorry can not put in full ,hope you understand, but it is full 3 page good note so I will buy on bad day if drop back .

Cheers, jaws. Opened the link, but couldn't open the story. The gist of it seems to be: Goldman Sachs upgrades from buy to conviction buy, cutting the target price from 3350 to 3350. Sounds pretty good to me!

edit: new target 3250

[phil140158] 10/8/2011 12:34

Looking forward to seeing it jaws. TIA. Phil

[tratante] 10/8/2011 08:47

jaws can you give details or link?

Big buy note from broker with 3200 p target

Very predictable rise following the plunge and news from the Fed. I don't think the BoE growth predictions will dent the optimism. I'm sorry for those that sold out at sub 1600!

Weir still on my watch list.Quality company.
London evening standard has a reason for the fall.

Yes it's bloody ridiculous.

Sadly this sort of irrational panic probably spells the end of the cult of the equity that started some 50 years ago.The risk premium attached to equity investment will probably be regarded as unacceptable to the majority.The volatility is almost laughable.

Just bought today - what a bargain this is having sold it two weeks ago at £22 ! 30 % cheaper

[slogsweep] 08/8/2011 14:45

Really getting hammered - time to buy?

[phil140158] 05/8/2011 21:39

Well - what can you say? It seems an age since I was twittering on about intra-day highs of 2250. £5 later - we end up at 1730 or whatever. Some 'distressed selling' today I think - someone offloading for cash and selling into any p+ movement in the share price A long position on the SB account shortly, I think. It will be a long time 'til we see 2250 again! IMHO

[phil140158] 02/8/2011 08:52

Hopefully broker upgrades, today/tomorrow will make the picture clearer.

[knowsleyman] 02/8/2011 08:29

A great set of results and the share price falls. Where is the logic in that?

[broadwood] 02/8/2011 07:55

As long as they have beaten,the market will ususally like it. A lot.

[phil140158] 02/8/2011 07:35

Great results, Broadwood. Whether they are more or less than market expectations, I don't know. Considering a scale of 'slightly ahead of our previous expectations' and 'significantly ahead', I wonder where 'somewhat' lies?

[broadwood] 02/8/2011 07:11

We're going up today after this comment!!

The Group will continue to invest to grow ahead of our end markets and we now expect profits for the full year to be somewhat ahead of our previous expectations."

GI - 'nice touch' as the young people say. Hope your still long! All-time close and intra-day highs today. What's going on - takeover chatter or word leaking out about BRILLIANT interims next week? Discuss.

[greek islander] 18/7/2011 15:21

4-5% down today - well I for one have tripled my spreadbet this afternoon.
Looks a great opportunity medium term.

[phil140158] 15/7/2011 17:26

tratante - a nice juicy bid from GE would do for me, particularly after some impressive interims. On the other hand, do we want another fine Scottish company to be swallowed up by foreign conglo?
