How can a company responsible for some of the worst disasters on the railways in recent times can make so much in a day. They have a management team you would not consider to run a corner shop yet because they appear on telly and apparently state that there are no more nasty surprises, can rock to the top of the rises for a day on the stock market.
It is a sorry state of affairs when appearing on telly means more to a share price rise then the actually running of a company.

If anyone has read the traders thread in this BB, they'll know that the investment club I'm part of purchased JRVS this morning for it's long term portfoliio. Currently up 20p less than a hour after purchase - not bad!

Has anyone got any interesting views on the current value of this share??

Secondly I am very happy to be short of companies with large debts and minimal asset backing, preferably where trading is also woeful. Hence I am short of Henlys at 21p where a reconstruction at just a couple of pence looks the only way out and also of Jarvis at 84.5p. I fear that its chairman Steve "Shagger" Norris will soon regret his decision to take a ride at Jarvis rather than spending more time with his various families. This share price is heading only one way and that is the same way as Shagger's opinion poll ratings. Both these positions are heavily in the money and will support my heavy drinking for many months as they become more

Imo more profit wanrings to come...(Contract management is all about conrolling costs from quote to final completion. JRVS appear to be incapable of any of that)

Hope you sold Jarvis Little Woman

Yes, and thanks to stop loss!

35 million shares, or over 25% of the company, sold today. Most of it after the bell at 16.30 and much of it @ 70p. Interesting!

Evil Knievil as closed his short in this one today, hot off the press.

cheers GF.

Hot off Hemscott's B/Board! (1368047.htm)

Any accuracy in that? Not just MMs starting rumours and trying to offload some of the 30,000,000 they took in yesterday is it?

Evil has closed short, was on tips evilcast yesterday. He closed Mon or Tues so was not responsible for yesterday's drop. Someone offloaded a massive holding 25m? near close.

Very odd that ammount at closing - no one holder has declared owning more than 14 million. That's the PRU and another holder - the next largest holder only has 4m.

up 13% 2day, Is there more to come?
