with this moving and holding in there, the rumour of a 400p takeover (Sunday press/FT etc) that has been around for weeks may finally be transpiring....

boy, have i got this one wrong! in at 310 an watching it slip down my right leg. looks like the US firm sniffing around may be put off by the dollar moves...

what a turnaround today!

still watching, still waiting

ok, i know i am the only contributor here but at 300p these will be 330p in a week or so. they are trading in a classic technical pattern and with all the bid stuff quietening down after the the last quarter of 2004 these look like they are back in play. a great trading stock....have a few for 2005!

Proptrade, I think that AMEC should be able to lift earnings from the current level as it appears tome that they trade at a price to sales of about 0.2, and an earnings to sales of somewhat less than 2%. However, I don't like the fact that the the tangible asset base is negative. Otherwise, I think that this is an interesting play with possibility of a bid as an upside.dyor

i have to say that this is a takeover and valuation play all in one. these is a t/o premium in here but is is likely to see a swoop by a US firm looking for access to their contracts. as you rightly say , DYOR.

i cannot stress how this is trading out as i have stated above. 330 within a few sessions. please put it on your watch pages!

keep watching. some serious momentum building!

Arrrggh! Been watching this this afternoon, then missed the jump again near the close. Too busy doing other emails and stuff! Must pay a closer attention!

Put a small spreadbet on this one earlier this afternoon. Didn't want to miss out on the excitement.

Was going to do same but missed the rise. Still, theres always Monday.

welcome, welcome!

well these have had a nice week and i feel these have more to run. momementum is there and volume is consistent. i really think 330 is on the cards and who knows, a bid would be nice!

well we are almost there....anyone been following this since last week!

great statement, results in march, great volume and still a takeover in the wings. limited downside at worst and a higher big figure at best!

By the way in the Telegraph on Sat.,AMEC given a buy rating by house broker Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein.

cheers. i had missed that. think this is a solid big cap to hold at least until results.

Lookin' good.
