I have been in and out of these a few times :-)) ..... bumping around their bottom but starting to bounce a little ..... closed @ 87/90p on Friday.

They have fallen from grace because of poor distribution probelens caused by poor management and an out of House warehousing system. THis is being sorted and new guys have replaced the old .....

Great brand name and selling could be overdone ..... anyway I am in for a few @ 90p and will let them ride for a while - not a t trade. Recent director buying around this price

Middleton effect.

£4 broken.. Yes!

Out of spreads @ 402.0 + 84.78

Light weight :-)

:O) still hold the shares skinny, but that profit had to be taken mate.

I don't blame you ahead of Bennie and his jets tomorrow.

Quietly making new 12+ month new highs @417.75 on an otherwise torrid day.

And now 420p.

Tempted here Chris.

Not for a long on the spreads skinny at these levels. My summer off looking like a good decision :O)

Tempted to close my long :-)

Keep going you lot.. only another £2 to get even on this lot -):

What do you reckon skinny? Just keeps creeping up on lousy volume Tempted to go short, defying gravity. Major resistance @ 450.0 so probably creep up there, but then 500.0 next target :O) Watching, maybe sell on news, birth Middleton factor?

I'm still holding for now Chris, although I was tempted yesterday @430 and today @440 - this is proving to be my HFD for this summer atm - Q1 18th July.

Stan's view is keep buying.. no bias or favouritism intended of course -):

Another price fillip?

Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall are expecting a baby in the New Year, Buckingham Palace says.

Excellent bullish engulfing candle atm.
