Forward Diary

Directors deals.

Longer term chart.

Absolutely Snowie..Worth a celebration drink I think!
I'm still holding on in there...Must be more up-side to this!!

Is this going to drop to the gap at 380?

Take the clue as to what to do next from the Non Exec director's dealing! plus the shrewd investors clues. Short/Medium term, IMHO is to sell.

thanks hjs.
Who are the shrewd investors?

Directors selling:not a lot.

Well I'm always a contrary bunny but I'm holding on to mine!!

I don't blame you sb, if you didn't buy at the top.

I see the gap is filled.

You know they went ex-div as well don't you, that always messes
with the price!

I hadn't realized at the time stockbunny. I know now!
I've put a link in the header so that it is possible to check the Forward Diary for dividend dates etc. when doing the research.

Cheers-me-dear that will be most handy!!

The 359 support level has held after the earlier gap was filled.
Quite respectable volume today.
I think another punt on this might be in the offing.
Any thoughts stockbunny?

Well I'm still sticking in there Snowie, I reckon it's worth
quite a bit more than the current level, and considering what
has happened over all the stock sectors last few days, RTR has
held up well. Did you read they bought more of another company
I think last weekend - I'll see if I can find the news & will
post it below...be back in a mo.

Ah..found it....

REUTERS ACQUIRES REMAINING STAKE OF
ICOR BROKERAGE JOINT VENTURE

London - Reuters Group, the global information company, today announced that it
has acquired the remaining 50 percent stake of ICor Brokerage Limited, its joint
venture with ICor JV Holdings LLC. This takes Reuters a step nearer to achieving
its aim of becoming the leading provider of electronic broking services for
global Treasury markets. The acquisition also extends Reuters product coverage
beyond the successful Spot and Forward Foreign Exchange (FX) products to include
FX Options.

The consideration for the acquisition will be paid in cash and will be based on
future revenues derived from transactions using the ICor products.

Mark Robson, Global Head of Treasury and Fixed Income, said, 'The timing for the
acquisition of ICor Brokerage is good given the active FX markets over the last
year. With the ICor acquisition, Reuters will be able to directly meet our
customers' needs for cost-effective brokerage and the straight through
processing of FX Options. ICor's customer base includes virtually every
significant bank in the world which trades FX Options and all will transact
their business from Reuters Dealing 3000 key stations.'

ICor Brokerage Limited was a 50/50 joint venture set up by Reuters and ICor JV
Holdings LLC, the electronic derivatives broker, to develop electronic brokerage
services for the global inter-bank foreign exchange options and interest rate
derivatives markets.

Yo Snowie!!
We're goin' up again!!!!

Is this why we have had a rise last couple of days?

LONDON (AFX) - Reuters Group PLC said it has sold its French commercial and legal information unit ORT SAS to Natexis Banques Populaires unit Coface for about 46.6 mln eur.

Reuters said it took out 25 mln eur in cash from the unit before the sale and may also get another 1 mln eur from valuation adjustments after the deal.

The sale is part of Reuters' effort to sell non-core assets under its Fast Forward restructuring programme.

ORT is a provider of credit, financial, commercial and legal information, and also distributes public data for government agencies in France, Belgium and the UK.

The unit reported an underlying pretax profit of 6.7 mln eur for the year to Dec 31 and its net assets at the end of last year were valued at 16.2 mln eur, including about 10 mln eur in cash, which remains in ORT at completion.

Reuters said it will use the proceeds from the sale to pay down debt.
