Director Trades :

Director Buys :

21/12/2005 R Angus BUY 10,000 @ 376p = 37.6K
21/12/2005 C Eager BUY 5,000 @ 376p = 18.8K
20/09/2006 Frederick Haller BUY 10,000 @ 167p = 16.7K

L2 now 2 v 1 @213/222

Good strong finish to the day, at this rate 270p end of the week is possible.

;-))

I got in at 300p so 270p by the end of the week would make me feel a whole lot better than I have been of late!

I got in at 171p and 180p for my SIPP according to these records. Don't you just love divergences of price and indicators coupled with volume?

;-))

200K X trade.

Big buyer is around, is it a potential bidder ?

Some chunky buys going through, 200K is half a million pounds.

Are there announcements due on progress updates?

Yes, but the strength of this move could point to a potential bid ???

Taken part out. ;-)

JV ?

Cashed in a couple more. ;-)

No selling from me, expecting news next week, and not going to sell myself short of what potential gains are to be had on major news.

Cannot knock people for taking profits, sometimes you miss out on bigger gains but that is part of the game.

PP

Been taking profits when I've deemed fit for many years. No regrets. Made about 45% in around 4 weeks. Compound that over the year!! ;-))

Expecting short term pullback so may increase holding again if appropriate, but for now, that's nice and I'll run the rest.

Rio Tinto on the prowl for new projects......would be nice if they are after another Copper play, but in Peru ;)

Yestedays Rio Tinto RNS :

http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=200610181256446585K

Yes :)

Possible bid news released on RNS today :)

Nice one PP

Out completely ;-)

No bid below 500p IMO, and we should see some more gaps up, when the weak sellers dry up.

The reason for a big mark up this morning and come slowely down is to get people to sell IMO, will not be too many sessions before its up above todays open IMO.

Do we have a flavour as to who may be doing the bidding? You mentioned Rio tinto earlier PP. Any other thoughts?

500p may be a tad ambitious IMO PP. She's not spent much time above that in the conpany's whole existence. 400p is a possibility, but I'm sure they'd have opened it higher if 500p was likely.

Best of luck with it and never forget it could all come to nothing too.
