Sorry wrong epic, this has got to be the float of the year, not in wish I was, now seems a little late.

Ona roll today just need patience with this one.

Mitzy is it a festive sausage?

could be halifax.

over 1 mill traded today which is extraordinarily high imo.

Any one fancy a sausage roll..lol.

Nearly sold last year but glad I hold now..back to 240p.

My play in the sector is MPE (see Tips for 2009 thread) - trades below net asset value, with net cash at June interims and appears well run. Also has interests in beef cattle in Queensland. Not for the faint hearted, but so far so good on my purchases between 160p and 190p in Nov/Dec.Always DYOR.

Thanks partridge I held Evans last year and sold in the sell-off its a great share.

On the move today again.

Up 12% on top of yesterdays 10% great.

Had a longer look at NBPO Mitzy and like what I see. Some parallels with MPE, although nearly 3 times the size (net cash, looks a quality business, well run and should be able to cope with the inevitable volatility in the price of palm oil). Has the advantage in the short term at least of a higher yield, albeit MPE does have property and cattle interests to spread the risk a bit. May join you in this one!

Hi partridge and also REA holdings is worth mentioning..

Naked Trader bought a few today.

On the move again .

I dont believe it..!
