JUST BOUGHT SOME LOOKS A BARGAIN AND THE PROFITS WILL ROAR AHEAD THIS YEAR.

ANY THOUGHTS?

See that, 15m buys just gone through
2517

Ave volume normally around 300k
2517

Buys 18 ml. Sells 8 k. SP. unchanged?

I like Ennstone too. The fundamentals are great. It's not one to give you sleepless nights. ITS AGGREGATES for god's sake! Safe as concrete. Thanks for the two year chart, it looks like it might be important to see if it can hold this price for a bit. RE the big buys. I'm just hoping they're buys and aren't actually sells that have got a decent price 41.5, maybe someone with level 2 can confirm. Hopefully it should mean that the overhang of 25 million has been cleared helped by all the sustained buying we've seen all month. The results are in under 3 weeks, march the 1st I think, so hopefully it'll be interesting till then, maybe a trading statement, who knows.

Lots of buys this morning,anyone know why?

What is it going to take to move the sp?

Ignore the 750,000 x trade, I think that's just broker to broker, but still the rest of it's good. Maybe the price is being held down to fill a buy order which is being filtered through in 200, 000 - 250, 000 tranches as seen today right from 8 am. They're obviously holding the price back for some reason, I guess the stock overhang still hasn't been cleared yet.

At last! broken out of the 41p range, 20ml buys today,that must of cleared the overhang.

Yes, I hope so. This is hopeful with a week on Wednesday until the results. My only slight concern was that perhaps these large buys are actually sells and they're going through as buys because the computer is guessing whether they are buys or sells. But maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic. Most of the other trades which went through as buys were automated so they should be accurate and there was still above average volume on them alone. They must all be buys I guess or else the price wouldn't have moved. It takes a lot for Enn to go up. It's like pushing stone. The chart looks good.

Confirmation in Guardian yesterday that 10 million shares had been placed for an institution. Decent above volume buys today as well.

The Prelim results confirmed for 14 march, may get small increase in sp enroute to results.

The acquisitions seem well selected, a good set of results next month should keep the SP ticking upwards.

Long time no postings here, results were ok, and going good today, up to 49.75, when I bought these the talk was of a bid around 50p, it's nearly there without a bid, so if a bid does arrive it will be further north of 50p, perhaps nearer 60p so here's hoping.

Possibly being pulled up by the rumoured bid for Hanson.

Is it about to go?

Creeping back up again now.

Came back strongly today. Mixed buys and sells. Today's Guardian reporting rumours of a bid approach.

sold out today. I think it's still a good company though

Excellent interims today.
