Sorry David - are you 'out' now? If you are, hope you've not lost cash
on it, I'll stay put for while longer - wish me luck!

I ve been in and out on a daily basis, mainly short so done OK. Hope yours works for you. Mixed bag of Broker views today...

GOLDMAN SACHS Outperform Reuters, 'buy on weakness', ups estimates

JP MORGAN- Reuters Upgrades to Overweight from Neutral

Thanks David - I've been holding RTR now for over 2 years - bought in at the
wrong time then (just over 400p) and patiently waiting to exit stage left!
(lol)
But it was a learning curve - I was pretty new to this game then and
made more bad calls then good ones!

Will stay put for break even
(missed one opportunity a while back) and collect miserly divi in meantime!!
Be Lucky and good for you, day to day seems the best way to play this one.

3.25 key battle area now. Been here for over a day. Could well have bottomed out for time being. Hope it gets back to 4 for you, as I will take a humungeous short out. Then we will both be happy!

Very true - I'll add it to the wish and prayer list!!

Reuters cuts workforce, delays News2Web web project till 2006 - report
AFXU
LONDON (AFX) - Reuters Group PLC has postponed the launch of a multi-million pound editorial system till 2006 and ordered a 22 mln stg cut in its editorial budget, The Guardian reported.
The paper said that journalists at the group's UK news operation are considering strike action after senior management informed them last week of a budget reduction and relocated jobs abroad.
Reuters journalists believe the 22 mln stg cost saving equates to the loss of up to 250 jobs from the financial information group's news division -- which employs 2,300 people -- but Reuters executives are adamant the payroll reduction will not be on that scale, The Guardian said.
The paper quoted the National Union of Journalists chapel in Reuters' London office as saying that the redundancies would 'irreparably damage the company's reputation for editorial accuracy and integrity'.
A Reuters spokeswoman confirmed to The GuardiaN that negotiations are under way with staff and union representatives but declined to comment on job or budget figures.
Journalists at the group's UK editorial headquarters in London are discussing the possibility of a strike.
Reuters has also pushed back the launch of News2Web by two years to 2006 due to teething problems.
Some Reuters staff believe the project is significantly over budget, and fear deeper job cuts will be made before Christmas to ensure that Fast Forward stays on track and cost saving targets are not affected by the budget overrun of News2Web.

Yes watching this closely and if in any doubt, I'm going to
be tempted to get out in the near future.

Well held stockbunny!!

And it's not even cricket David! LOL!!!
:>)

Bit like a "Slinky".... do you remember those, the long slippery spring!!! LOL

Yes I do and the ones you can get now are plastic and don't work!
(I know this as I bought one a few yrs back for number 2 son!)

Well I'm OUT of RTR - spent a while watching the price go down
fractionally and a bit more and a bit more and thought I've been
here too many times before with this one so I sold them!
(Under 20 loss - so not so bad really)

Re evaluating, good idea. I don't know which way from here at the moment.

It's a tough one - if you are still in, good luck but watch your back!!
:>)
