That's the Wonder of Woolworths, da, da da, da, daa............. (WLW)     

ringos_tar_2000 - 11 May 2004 12:22

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?

Apax sizing up Woolworths bid - report
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - Private Equity group Apax Partners is considering a leveraged buyout of UK retailer Woolworth, The Business newspaper reported without citing sources.

The private equity group is running a slide-rule over the company -- which reported flat Christmas trading at its main stores -- but has yet to decide whether to table a bid, the paper added.

Apax refused to comment on market speculation last week that it was planning to table a 60 pence per share bid for the business, valuing it at roughly 700 mln stg.

How unusual!

Stop loss set at 50p a share just triggered - I'm happy a tidy
little profit! Those still in - BE LuckY!!!!!!

seawallwalker - 31 Jan 2005 09:43 - 221 of 344

Nice one stockbunny.

Good idea to do that as nothing is really confirmed is it?

stockbunny - 31 Jan 2005 09:53 - 222 of 344

No and that's what worried me to be honest, but it's always
a gamble...later today it could rocket further, I just feel you
have to set a figure that you personally are happy with, when it
hits that, you take the money and run and think no more of it.
:>)

seawallwalker - 31 Jan 2005 10:48 - 223 of 344

Dead right imo.

I assume you either put your s/l at 50p when it went over or edged it up as it went up?

For now you did right it's dropping back.

sandrew64 - 31 Jan 2005 11:06 - 224 of 344

That was a nice little earner. I too bailed, but at 49p....not as quick as the bunny!

seawallwalker - 31 Jan 2005 11:10 - 225 of 344

The confirmed interest by Apax is at a very early stage.

Good stuff sandrew64.

daves dazzlers - 31 Jan 2005 11:34 - 226 of 344

Never did get to buy at 36 **** fill your bags.

stockbunny - 31 Jan 2005 16:24 - 227 of 344

SWW - yes I watched it for a while upped the stoploss from 49p to 50p
as it increased :>)

daves dazzlers - 31 Jan 2005 16:29 - 228 of 344

You old fox bunny,nice,

mail on the way.

stockbunny - 31 Jan 2005 16:30 - 229 of 344

LOL Dave!

seawallwalker - 31 Jan 2005 17:07 - 230 of 344

Way to go!

daves dazzlers - 01 Feb 2005 08:49 - 231 of 344

Heavy going early doors!

seawallwalker - 02 Feb 2005 14:12 - 232 of 344

35p back on the cards then?

Just goes to show what a great stop loss that was stockbunny!

stockbunny - 02 Feb 2005 14:54 - 233 of 344

Thanks SWW - it's always a gamble, sometimes it pays off and other
times it doesn't. Why the fall in price by the way?
I'm not up to speed on this one now...Has the interest gone?
