nice to see matalan moving forward at least the share price,as a recent buyer at 1.59 in febuary.

This is true Dave...see you in the tea-rooms later on.
MTN has pulled back towards 208p now - if it gets another lift
over 212p I think I'll bail out - getting bored waiting about now LOL
Impatience could win the day over planning and 'discipline' for me...
(as if the bunny had any discipline in the first place LOL!!)

oh well ,each to there own,i am sticking put.

BROKERS COMMENDATION NUMIS =MATALAN (240p price target)

insur ,no doubt its value is good,even at this price.and a decent return on the divi as well.

dave-projested div forcast 2005 =8.29p,2006=8.67 p,2007 =8.99p

I would love to be able to believe in a realistic target of 240p
on a long term basis, but I can only see it getting there on
a short term run due to take over speculation - but don't mind
me I'm somewhat cynical....lol

insur,i bought in feb with 3 others ,on a hold of 12 months,my be 15 max.
i hope it comes soon,we are up allmost 22k,between the 4 of us,.2 want to sell /2 want to hold,and its us holders that are holding court,,,,,,,just . to me 2.30 is a fair price on current sales/on a pre tax profit of 90 million,on all accounts it wont be far off,any thoughts.

bunny i dont no,2.40 is a fair price,there`s a lot going in mtn favour,theres a lot of people want ,what they have.the thing is they are all yanks{bar gus} and the dollar is not in favour of a tie up,but they really want it them yanks.wallmart can`t belive the profit there doing at asda,and with these george stand alone stores,and clothers flying out of the shops at asda,its just fits there bill.hargreaves i think would jump at the chance of buying it back ,but not at these levels.

a decent size buy not long gone through 148.000 shares,,,,big bucks deep pockets.

there's more blue across the board for me now - so maybe a lift this afternoon

i would of called it the other way,what do i no.i think i will ask my 5 year old see what he says.
bunny a couple of weeks ago,there was some big sells in america of mtn,investment banks selling off some of there shares , so somebody bought them.

Heads Up Dave! We're moving.....

We aren't going to make it today Dave - dropping back

if we could get some more sellers to sell/then the price would go up.lets see the last hour.off to the football later on,went last night but it was a day early,,,,,,,bank holiday,so it father and son bonding time,should be fun with a 5 year that cant keep still ?

still all very small sells at the moment.

seems to me that the major players,can`t get there hands on large amounts of shares that they need to buy,and drive the shares on to a takeout .bunny why dont you sell your 10 million holding in matalan.

LOL - Oh I wish Dave, I wish!! ;>)

another big order of 120.000 , my be some are willing to sell.

We will have to see tomorrow Dave - we always live to fight another day!!
;>)

up 6.50p for the day not bad
