Read the latest interims.......just make sure that you are sitting down.

promise you i too think SOLA is a damn good company ..... it's just that having taken a profit at 179, i have a psychological problem (don't all say it!!) buying back in when sp has bolted ...... i still genuinely suspect that sp will pull back when there is a general market correction (surely imminent), though it is anyone's guess where that will be to.

cynic

you're hardwork

:((

Cynic, LOL - if you're going to be that negative about my stock picks I shall probably drink it! :o)

Today's further pullback is now around 1.6% - we're hardly in major sell-off territory here, but could be a buying opportunity for some (not you, Cynic; there's only so much arm-twisting I can dish out ;o). Lucky MM's - there'll certainly be more upward action in due course.

SOLA was down 3.7%
Interesting to see if the FTSE slide today will pull the DOW down this afternoon. If it does, then presumably we could see a further drop tomorrow in U.K. stocks.
Took profit today on SOLA, but will buy back in around the 200p mark (if it gets there!). 300p target easily achievable imo.

Cynic, would you please stop shorting now ??!! >:(


SOLA Bid: 214p Offer: 217p Change: -7.5

Harry .... back to front! .... Dow hit iits target and it's that that is propelling FTSE south

soul* ..... not likely! want to beat up the likes of you ... lol! ..... lest anyone should take us seriously .... no, i am not shorting, but would not be surprised to be able to pick up SOLA in the near future at a price i like, rather than one the market (or you guys!) like

Negative, cynic - I disagree & watched this very carefully.
DOW went up 20 points monday. FTSE then dropped tuesday morning & when the DOW opened p.m. U.K. time FTSE then dropped further, as did the DOW. The U.S. were waiting for inflation data, but the U.K. were profit taking before the drop came. Normally the reverse is true. The reason is that I was watching for the SOLA price to head down which triggered a sell for me.
Now the question is, when will the correction stop & the SOLA price start to increase again? My target is 200p but may have to adjust.

200p is fantasy-land. :o) (Still, it could happen . . . .)

Might have a try at persuading my Dad to get in on this tomorrow.

I'll compromise: 210p if you're lucky!

Very tricky. The DOW closed down 21 points, but was down 80 points at one time today. If the FTSE goes down again then I agree, 210 is probably the lowest SOLA will go on a bounce. But will the DOW go down again tomorrow afternoon?

Dow 11980 is a reasonably strong resistance ..... briefly climbed above; fell through; tried to rally; failed ... implication is a continuing downwards correction especially as the market is technically quite heavily overbought

Then I think a 4% drop at some point in the day is likely.
Just hope I dont miss the boat by trying to catch the bottom!

Up again today: SOLA Bid: 227p Offer: 232p Change: 8

The drop never really matierialised, so bought back in again.
Next slight dip at 260???

It's the possible 800p over a couple of years that interests me :o)

is greed going to get the better of me yet again? ..... lol!

with Q3's in 4 weeks why would anyone want to sell now? Defies utter belief..moreover Q3's will provide a sound basis on which to calculate Q4's with a greater degree of accuracy..upgrades from CSFB, SCSW, Lemmings and other investment mags..too much newsflow to consider selling..

f18

Stop it, Forti, you're making me dribble in anticipation . . . . ;o))

on the basis that the lemmings and their extended families are now invested here, it might be a clever move to sell at least some before the results .... that is not to say they will disappoint; merely that that tends to be the way of things

Kiss of Death has arrived!
