Didn't this site have an area where expected returns could be calculated?
If anyone can direct me to the area or another site that enables this I will be very grateful - thanks in advance

This is looking very good.

Moving up today.Intel 1/4 update later today so hoping techs get a good boost.

Nice jump Friday which caught people off gaurd !

Why did it catch people off guard? Lots of positive post regarding this company, does anyone have any idea what the potential of this company?

Adie people sold thinking they could buy in cheaper !

Chart looks good

UP SHE GOES

host europe in talks with pipex which may lead to an offer for the company....is this good news....

not at 2.5P !!

Certainly not at 2.5p OUCH!!

Would not be impressed with such a low offer, hopefully they will reject out of hand any over around 2.5p, I would be showing a slight loss at that rate....
I hold both......

evidently the market itself is not impressed with the amount of selling that is going on...im going to hold ....the results are due out soon and i cant see management trying to accept this offer

jane look at the trades !! It is retail selling and the Market makers sitting there saying thankyou !!!

Could be a counterbid,could reject the offer,could negotiate more !

Who knows ?

HER haven't rejected it outright have they? believe done & dusted.

i bought in at 2.52 so lets hope they reject it,mind you i am suprised that people are selling under the offer price of 2.50.

UandD no have the have not accepted it either !

Email from HER

Thank you for your e-mail regarding the above. Host Europe cannot make any further comment at this stage.



However, in order to clarify yesterday's announcement, I can confirm that the current situation is as follows:



Pipex have made an approach to Host Europe and the boards of the two companies are in discussions. The outcome of these discussions may result in an offer being made by Pipex for Host Europe. However, no offer has yet been made. If any offer is made, the value is likely to be around 31.2 million or 2.5p per share.



A further statement will be made in due course and Host Europe will shortly be publishing its 2003 results.
