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?

Report in todays Times echoing Iain's thoughts.

It states Shareholders think 50 pence is a realisitc price hence the drop.

It looks like another BFP could come,with the bid price continually dropping.

For you Woolies holders:

WOOLWORTHS GROUP PLC

Response to indicative proposal from Apax


The Board of Woolworths has received an indicative proposal from Apax Partners
Europe Managers Ltd to make an Offer for the Company in the range of 50-55p per
share. This indicative proposal is subject to a number of pre-conditions
including access to the Company's financial and trading information.



The Board, with its advisers, has considered this indicative proposal carefully.
It has concluded that the range indicated does not provide acceptable value or
certainty to justify entering into detailed discussions with Apax.

LOOK LIKE WERE GOING TO SEE A BATTLE well i hope so

Who with though?

Lots of talk.

Maybe a couple of days and some will appear.

I think it may be doubtful though at the moment.

Now watch me be wrong!

imho when you go to buy/bid for an item/company YOUR FIRST BID IS NEVER YOUR LAST AND HIGHEST

I admire your positive stand on this babykitcat and if you are
still in and holding WLW, I really hope you are right.
