are property prices on the way down because blnd is showing a slide to the down side

Just found this (a few hours old) British Land shares jump on bid talk

taking a cynic(al) view sounds as though next weeks results are going to disappoint, especially the nav?

never mind what the papers say ...... look in your high street, and you'll find (certainly here) that the empty shops are now being bought up (leased) by some good quality brands ...... can't comment about office space, as it's not something i keep an eye on

Nobodys mentioned forward sentiment ie, positive forward sentiment, even though we only have a few crumbs worth at the moment. (house prices rising very modestly and new build up slightly)

Remember the ball launched out of the hand is travelling at its fastest growth in upward projectory from the very base.

Worth a lot more than good mature news on higher rents and leases.

By the way hadnt heard of the bid rumour until now but was aware of the rising volume... i think.

Fairly hotish sector aswell real estate....

telegraph reports

BRITISH LAND TARGETED BY ASIAN GROUP
British Land is a takeover target for a consortium of some of the richest families in the world. The group has contacted Credit Suisse bankers to prepare a possible bid for the property company which could total up to 10 billion pounds including debt. The consortium is believed to include Lakshmi Mittal and Abu Dhabi's ruling family, with British Land yet to receive an approach as the plan is still at an early stage. British Land reports its first-quarter results next week; its current share price values it at 4.1 billion pounds.

Luvely stuff.

Learn something new everyday in this business and rightly so, didnt realise you could have a triple top or a double top in a down trend market/chart but then again when you think about it if you can have an inverse head and shoulders on the tilt then why not any other chart pattern. Cheers PTH.

Lads have a gander at the chart for CAL Capital and Regional, bought in first thing, what a corker of a chart.

This whole sector is red hot Hammerson and Liberty looking horny aswell.

No thread for CAL yet but thought Id give it a quicky here....

"

A bit of resistance to overcome short term...... but looka t the 3 year chart.

CAL is indeed an excellent chart, but only 31m cap and quite a wide spread ..... care needed ..... haven't checked EMS etc on L2 but will do if you want

============

EMS is 10k and 4/6 MMs so at least reasonable choice even if not very liquid, but spread is 3/5p and may well be diff to trade inside that as volumes are pretty small

Cheers cyners.

These land and property stocks are boiling this morning.

Saw this coming even if I do say so myself.

he he nice.

Even managed +10 on a cheeky short - this sector should be good for some real intraday moves!

10p will barely cover your expenses, even if that 10p is nett gain and not just mid/mid or worse
