Does anyone know this company? It was highlighted in this weekend's paper and I wonder if it is about to fall a lot more ( eg with the prospect of a Rights Issue, etc), and that might be a good time to get in - when they have some cash.

Are they beholden to Supermarkets, I wonder - could this mean they have little "pricing-power"? - That's something that any go-go business needs, perhaps along with a USP - although this is hardly likley in the "food" industry, is it?

I came very close to buying back earlier - still watching.

Just had a small dabble here again.

Some Director shenanigans afoot!

Up 10% on the day atm and starting to look interesting.

Strong start today and on the cusp?

Up another 15.1% on the day.

In auction +11.5%.

Just closed 75% here - will look to add on any retracement.

Well done skinny...think continue to hold and see what happens... all looking good ..think this'll go higher if good numbers/ sales start coming out...imho

Thanks - I maybe have been a bit too keen - although I still have a a holding and will add on any retracement.

Having said that, I've had 3 decent trades on these since October, so shouldn't complain.

just keep's on going up.

Hot off the press (unfortunately I'm not holding atm).

Plans cooked up for new food giant

Several private equity firms are looking to purchase two collections of brands from Premier Foods and Symington's and merge them under one banner, the Sunday Times said.

Morrisons are selling Lloyd Grossman sauces at less than half price (94p) and excellent they are!

No - as per post 164 - I'm not currently holding :-)

No - I don't do either :-)

I'm hoping to buy back at a lower price than I sold last week - I may not get the opportunity!
