Ok so the figures sounded OK, but the share price today looks
very temptingly cheap - down to 93p last time I looked, it has
been up there 150p or so, and pays a divi.

So anyone hold these and if you do, what's your views?
I'll dig out the share price chart and paste it up in a mo..

Lots of negative sentiment in the press this weekend.

If it is all to be beilved, they are in trouble, more than we thought.

Will we wait for the predator? How much further can the price drop if the profits warning becomes reality?

My bottle is wobbling on the shelf!

TAKING STOCK: Andrew Leach comments on SAINSBURY (possible interest

from GUS), MFI (GUS mentioned as a possible partner), BIG FOOD GROUP

(some analysts predicting that a profits warning is now inevitable - the

company is due to give an update in mid-October; that could be the time

for a predator to pounce

another 3 pence and i am bailing out,time to check my parachute ready for the jump i think ..

Wheee...................

I am down with minor injuries.

sw i am out at 92 pence,,,,,,,if it gets there ? i will jump out and hit the ground with 10% burns//////////ouch,,,i`ll just after take the bump on the head.

they do say you should never go back,,,to a old address.

That's with your past women!

You'll be alright once the BFP storm is over.

as if sw,as if. and my booker cards up end of december,,now that was handy.i will just have to remember my number,and quote it at the desk .

I see sainsbury have issues a denial in respect of takeover talks.

In their case do not believe what you read.

The signs are all there for this sooner rather than later. I say hold, what do you think?

sw agree,this is still running {share price} very cheap,property alone would run in to billions,low numbers of course, say what you will about there stock problems,and there some what poor entry in to none food products!!!!!!.they will concentrate on quality & service,finance as well,,,,,,,,,,and hopefully regain some ground,,,,,and then where dreaming.

Not at all.

Too big not to make a come back.

yes,.

well i have missed this one being out today.WOW it is now up to my sell price,lets see how it goes tomorrow,

well i will be offloading today i think,its on the up.

sold 95.25,its a loss but we move on 9%.

I am still holding, there do seem to be more customers at the tills, over the last 2/3 weeks, still believe it could go higher,we will see.

Bid offer announced,that should help.

WOW!!!! Just seen it - anyone else still holding these????
Dave - this is NOT a good day to be out hun....

shonky

Shonky - a profit is a profit and an achievement regardless of
it's size, so good for you! Whatever you make on it, it will be more
then you could have made if you didn't own any at all!
There doesn't seem to be any clues as to who is bidding....or
have I missed something???

bunny,took a 400 hit,such is life.good luck to the rest of the holders.i am after some more brjk,,,,,,,but only at levels of under o.60.

stockbunny, Rumour is that it is icelandic group Bayer, it would be the icing on the cake, if we could get a second bidder showing interest,like the rumoured management buy out, some while back,but we might have to be happy with this bid. Bayer already own 22%.
