Anyone notice the exratordinary volumes yesterday? (10/5/2004)

48 million!!!

Many more buys than sells.

That and the price held out only losing a fraction of a penny.

No Easter Eggs in sight in my local store.

May be one reason but............

Any ideas people?

Still a watching but not going to jump on the woolworths wagon yet.

Nor am I having liquidated before the drop, thanbk you footfall for the good info..

I will go on your 36 or less quote.

I have bought into UK's answer to Walmart. AKA Tesco. Long term hold and forget!

Good luck on Tesco SWW!!
:>)

Its only a short term long hld, I really want back in these, but with a trading statement this week from tesco, I expect a climb otherwise I would not bither.

Not sure wether to wait till after divi on wlw, to see how it looks then. There is a lot of support for WLW that is for sure or they would have dropped further.

I see my local brach is half price eveything at the moment.

Clear the sheleves and start again.

Good idea.

Sunday Express

Woolworths has been forced to cut jobs after tough trading in what has been described as the worst Christmas in a decade

Oh dear 35p may be too high then?

Lets hope not.

Going like a chad valley train set today,,choo choo.

Hmmmmmm I'm getting bored holding WLW now.....contemplating
bailing out :>(

Ok OK what's occurring?????
Now up 2p....
Is it like the car, you know whenever you get so pi**ed off with it
you say you're going to sell it, it stops playing up????

take over with a bit of luck ONLY JOKING WE WISH notice there are more sell than buys

It's all too bizarre!!
:>)

Are woolworths a target,i dont think so,talk on 20pence a few days ago.

20 PENCE!!!!!!
:>(

Yes.

20 pence.

They are always a target though, so hold on tight!

Maybe someone is stalking them and there are lose rumours.

Something will show up if that's the case.

WOULD BE NICE AS THE RETIAL SECTION IS VERY VULNERABLE AT THIS TIME BUT SOME HOW I THINK MR GREEN HAS SENCE!! ONLY TIME WILL TELL BUT YES THEY HAVE BEEN RISING WITH NO NEWS POSTED

And good volume dont have a position on wlw but more than watchful,goodluck all.

ok looks good just found this dated TODAY 28/1/05........

But the sessions speculative focus was provided by Woolworths, which rallied to its best level since this months downbeat Christmas trading statement, up 1p at 39p on brisk turnover in 75.7 million shares, or 5 per cent of its outstanding equity. Dealers attributed most of the volume to Goldman Sachs, although it was not clear whether the US investment bank was acting on behalf of its proprietary desk or a client.

Certainly does.

Watch it go on the strength of that.

All imho etc........
