Based on fundys I reckon these could easily be £5 come next june.

From earlier :- 'Warp speed' risk for UK house prices but hiking rates off radar

(Reuters) - Expectations of future British house price rises have hit a 14-year high just as central bank chief Mark Carney signalled monetary policy would remain exceptionally loose despite the potential for them to jump at 'warp speed'.

Britain is growing faster than many other big rich economies although it has still not passed its pre-crisis peak. There are some concerns, however, that it is a housing-led recovery - and a potential bubble - spurred by government stimulus.

Still got a few months left yet skinny I reckon and traditionaly builders as you will know do well at xmas.

Lets see if they can break resistence, it shall be interesting.

I closed a long here today +29 - good luck if you are still in.

Short closed @331.76 for a profit.

Closed yesterday and a few others. Going back in when the santa rally kicks off.
