Taking a battering.

24p next level.......

Alan have you sold out yet?????.

Been out all day - taking a battering - down .75p - Big deal ! - going to top up next week.

On the short side????

Nope - the other way of course !!

Alan, did you buy today??.

Reckon youl pick these up at around 24p later this week maybe less.

Not much meat left on the bone now.

Todays trades paint a really depressing picture.....



dem bones dem bones them dry bones, dem bones dem bones dem dry bones.

We had 24p at one time today.

Looks to me like long term holders capitulating and speculators coming in.....

they wont be in for long.

20p here we come.

Dont let these shocking shorters persuade you to part with your shares - they work en-masse drip selling shares which can be very frustrating on a down ftse day. Others are assigned to write negatively re shares on bb' etc.(Sry, sure you knew this anyway)
This is a quality share - see following post taken from advfn dated 1700hrs today and posted by 818332. :-

Such short termism - Great buying opportunity.
People should refocus on their research which they did before buying into this great company. Selling out of panic or fear is never a clever move.
Not allowing yourself to buy or sell on emotion is one of the hardest investment skills to master. Letting yourself fall foul to fear or greed normally means buying high and selling low.
There is no major bad news out there - the company is not going bust. GE has not misled shareholders at any stage and has been upfront about all the challenged Uniq faces - too upfront for some it seems. He has masterminded and sucessfully implemented a total turnaround in the business. It is now profitable and will be more so in the future as it continues to improve efficiency, invest in technology and win more contracts. Don't forget M&S don't give contracts to just any supplier. That UNIQ is in a position to win such a contract supplying M&S 60% of its sandwiches demonstrates its underlying strength.

No debt, in fact will have 41 million in the bank when the sale of the NE European businesses go through in March. Funds already set aside for the Pension and for future business investment, losses to carry forward so no tax liability.

Of course the pension deficit wll be an ongoing liability which is more than baked into the SP. But remember that punitive payments would not be in the intrests of the pension trustees - the payments would be manageable.

The house broker has forcasted an EPS of 6.5p on a PE of 7 giving an sp of 45.5p.
With more profit to come as the new business matures, this will steadily rise.

The time to buy a recovery stock is before it has recovered. Then employ a little patience.

" Of course the pension deficit wll be an ongoing liability which is more than baked into the SP"....... are you sure, are you really sure.???????????????????????????

I dont think so having had another look this aftrnoon at RNS items.

By the way alan if the author of that over the top piece was rainmaker punters might aswell just ignore it, his street cred as been blown to pieces and Im not the only one saying that either.

Nicola Mallard, and analyst at Investec Securities who is forecasting 6m earnings before interest and tax in 2010 for Uniqs UK operations, said trading was on an upward trend, but added that a decision by Uniqs pension trustees in February next year on how Uniq should service an estimated 270m in pension liabilities would be crucial for the company.

Hi Baylis, at what cost are UNIQ paying to keep standards up for the likes of M@S in face of retail competion and taking the hit themselves???

Are they taking a fall in margin just to supply more?.

Your thoughts appreciated.

ps, by the way spent over 25 years of my career in the retail trade, including M@S tesco woolies and farmfoods, also spent time in retail banking with the halifax and midland.

cheers GF.

Melt down on the cards and pretty quickly I reckon.

next level of support 19p/20p.........

19p/20p the chart says for forecast. Next level of support this and I wouldnt rule it going down through this either after the performance of the last month or so.

ThE resident shorter yells again - in reality the offer never fell below 24p and the share ended up only .75p down. !!

Makes you laugh when the people holding the stock dont even use bullish articles to there advantage.

For long enough we have had only one broker ie, broker Numis with a Buy reco on this stock and then approx 10 days ago Finn joined them with a Buy because they obviously thought they saw value with the SP falling so low.

And not one mention here or across the road!!!!!!!!!. pathetic.

Without checking looks like the FinnCap forecast of 02-12-09 was in US "speak" and refers to 12th febuary 2009 when Uniq share price was at its nadir along with most of the ftse.
Uniq offer price now 27.5p and could have a good run up to 4th quarter results due on 8th January 2010. IMHO

NO it wasnt alan, they have changed stance from sell to buy.

And why not with the SP falling so much over the last 6 week or so.

Theres a fair price for everything........... dont get carried away with MARKET prices which tend to be at both extremes.

cheers.
