Bottom chart 'fast stochastic'

Well its hot today at least 80 now.

High volume yesterday and building up today, there is a lot of interest being shown in RSA.
Some consolidation perhaps at this level before moving on to the next target of 90p.

Bid talk what ever next ?

"Bid talk what ever next ?" ............ Why not a bid Dave :-)

Opto,now i would be happy with that if an offer was made 1.30 sounds just great to me,,,,,,,fair price ?

Would be happy with that Dave, and in the event of a bid it would be hardly likely to be less.

It will do me.

Wow, it has been a good week for RSA, I hope this is only the beginning. regards goal.

Aticle on Teletext this morning says that the rise in share price last week was due to speculation that RSA was to sell their holding in merchant bank Rothschild.
I was not aware of the holding so cannot enlighten as to the value of it. If anyone has the info, please post. In the meantime I will have a look around and see if I can find the figures.

According to the accounts of RSA they hold 21.5% of Rothschild Continuation (Switzerland) which had accumulated capital and reserves of 521m at 31 March 2004. A value of something north of 100m seems likely.

Thanks coeliac1, thank you for posting that info, very helpful.
