A pop & drop today but still ending the week on a good note.

Crikey Mashie that's a good rise today!
Based on chart it may well boost up further north too.
Now what do they know we don't?

I know it's over a decade where criteria materially change but this looks interesting....

Well predicted Flow. Now lets keep it above 3 quid please.

Chart looks ready for another boost north, hopefully a positive response to the SKP distraction.

The Independent highlights how Skyepharma's rebel shareholders lost their battle at yesterday's EGM to appoint their candidate to the board.

Right Mr Bob Thian concentrate on Whatman now if you please!

"Photo-Me International (PHTM.LN), Luminar (LMR.LN), Whatman (WHM.LN) and Skyepharm (SKP.LN) are the most likely to be demoted to the FTSE 350"




"Mr Thian, who is currently chairman of Southern Water and the filters company Whatman, will stand for election to Skyepharma's board at an extraordinary general meeting next Thursday."

Still flirting around 275p - you little hussie! ;o)

Hi Mashman
Actually we could have made munnie on the rising support level, as it has been quite predictable as you pointed out. Silly me for not realising - next time!

In the meantime let's hope for a good rise (I'm fully invested so no spare funds to top up!)

Flow

[mashman] 17/2/2006 14:29

That line of rising support does seem quite reliable.

A fool's bounce or has this marked the bottom - who knows?

Fidelity appear to have stopped selling - which is nice!

Critical resistance @ 275p under pressure again!

Hi Flow, here's another one that put a negative on Mr Thian chairing SKP.

[go with the flow] 13/2/2006 10:48

Damn it!

Ian Gowrie-Smith, founder of SkyePharma, who was ousted as chairman of the drugs company last month, is to retire "with immediate effect," the company said on Monday. Mr Gowrie had decided to bring forward the date of retirement to ensure that the only proposal for shareholders to consider at the impending extraordinary meeting was "whether Mr Thian is suitable to become executive chairman of SkyePharma," the company said.

Intraday bounce off upward sloping channel resistance @ 275p is encouraging!

I also wish to reiterate that Bob Thian should be encouraged to keep his eye firmly on WHM. How can he possibly give 100% effort to WHM when he has fingers in other pies? The SKP issue will deflect his focus.

How many directorships do these guys need?

Quote taken from SKP RNS announcement:


"The Nominations Committee therefore met with Robert Thian, Chairman of Whatman and Southern Water, and the candidate proposed by a minority group of investors for election to the Board and appointment as Chairman. The possibility of his joining the Board solely as a non executive director was raised but Mr Thian informed the Nominations Committee that he had no interest in non-executive posts. It is the view of the SkyePharma Board that Mr Thian already has substantial board commitments and that adding an executive role at SkyePharma would exceed his available capacity, particularly given the need for him to address the problems at Whatman in light of its recent profits warning."

OK Mr Thian, I think it's back on the Whatman case now - enough fingers in pies!

Healthy bounce from intraday low ;o)

Hi Mashman - 145p has to be a missprint!
The Seymour Pierce 'team' should be taken outside and shot - these analysts don't half talk a load of sh1te.

Well we are sitting on the rising support. A breach of it and we could go lower. How can Seymour say 'hold' and put a 145p target on the price? Thats 125p off todays price.

[premierpompey] 31/1/2006 13:29

And the directors were buying big just recently.
Hmmmm

[mashman] 31/1/2006 07:37

Well, nothing too scarey here. Onwards and upwards it is then.

Crikey a bounce!

Not sure if this was just a healthy dip within an upchannel or the City are unsteady.
