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?

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

Nice one stockbunny.

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

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.
:>)

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.

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

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

Good stuff sandrew64.

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

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

You old fox bunny,nice,

mail on the way.

LOL Dave!

whats a fox bunny?

Hmmmm............

Way to go!

Heavy going early doors!

35p back on the cards then?

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

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?

Nothing known here.

Everything is still go and the word is there may be a bidding war.

If it drops much more, I may have to re enter

Could be profit taking I suppose - possibly people taking the
money and running now convinced that they wont get the figs.
being banded about in the press (Daily Mail yesterday reckoned 60p
min. would be required by WLW share holders) I can see your point,
if it drops very low....

How low are we thinking?

I stress right now I'm not personally entertaining going back
into WLW - frankly I'm too worried the whole thing could go
nowhere - but remember I'm a BFP holder who's had to settle for
95p a share in the end! That's the only concern with these situations
if they drop too low and WLW also have a pension deficit like BFP, then
the bid price can drop further then first thought - BFP was thought to
be worth 110p a share but didn't actually get anywhere near.

However....should it hit 35-36p it could, maybe be worth a go for those
who like a real gamble and can stomach the loss that could occur.
Think more then twice before doing tho' in my humble opinion.
AND DYOR especially into the things like pension deficits!

sb if it goes that low then realiscially the deals off and with the
end of year coming, it would be in severe poo.

I suggest staying out really.

I agree about BFP, that was a real pig.

WLW could do the same if the results are bad.

To make any on this now and be safe a holder would need to be in at 30p or so to be absolutley sure.

Forget my musings and wishful thoughts prior to this.

Shareholders thought 50p realistic value and took it.Me included.
WLW very seasonal and dont own freehold to stores.I wouldnt give you 60p.
Cue 70:-)
