After searching i can't believe there's no thread on this one.

Anyhow what about a bounce for tomorrow after some sort of analysts meeting?

Regards

Stan.

Hiya Dave, in for that bounce tomorrow, hopefully.

Bounced 5.75p so far, any more to come do ya think?

Afternoon stan , seems there`s a few on the bounce today , as for tate and lyle , who knows.What is the latest divi they payed out.

Divi come and gone i think but next results are Nov 4th or 5th had a good run in last few months( look at their chart), but may still have legs for results.

Regards

Stan.

This is a new and unexpected, (here!) high for TATE.

The cyclic is that they fall in the winter. and spring.

What is driviing this is their sucess with artificial sweeteners.

Be aware that the fall last year was because of profit warnings.

IMHO if you are in profit and well in, then hold, if you have just bought in,

do your own research!!!!

I have held recently and made profit, I currently do not hold but would buy in

again if the price is right!

Thanks for that Sea very interesting, I took the profit in the end yesterday and news has just come out as follows;

& Lyle PLC as at 4 October 2004 in which they had a material interest which was
then 3.01 per cent of the nominal value of the relevant share capital.

Probably had something to do with the rise yesterday.

As you say worth keeping an eye on in the future.

Down 16.5p at the moment on Ex. divi day paying 5.75p. Looks like some profit taking but not sure yet....or maybe It's Barclays been In and out for that divi.

Oh surely not.

Bit the bullet In the end at 474p.

I really can't believe the fall was anything more then profit taking In the main.

There Is also talk of TATE getting Into the FT100 at the next reshuffle.

Seems on track at the moment +6.

Hope there's more to come though.

Wish you well with it stan goodluck,looking to enter cpg around 2.30ish,,just a bit steep yet.

Thanks Dave, had a look at CPG but lost Interest when i had a look at their chart.

All the best though.

See what you mean about the chart,but i like a challenge.
Done well with ,lmc this week.

+9 now with these and tempted to take the profit later but with TATE probably going to get promoted tomorrow to the FTE 100 I'm tempted to hold on for more.

What do you think boy and gals

Question?

When they announce that a share (TATE probably) Is promoted to the FT 100 does that share usually rise on the news or Is the expected news (which It Is) usually already In the price?

I realise the answer can be either way, but just Interested In peoples experience of such dilemma's

I must make a decision to hold or sell by about 4pm this afternoon.

Thanks All.

Blimey, down 7p. not supposed to do that.

Finished down 7.75p and promoted to the FT100.

Lets see the price promoted now!

Tate & Lyle predicts in-line FY results UPDATE

AFX

(Adds analyst forecasts, share price, background)

LONDON (AFX) - Tate & Lyle PLC, the UK sugar refiner and food ingredients producer, expects to deliver full-year profit in line with expectations after trading continued to go 'well' over the past 11 weeks.

'Trading since the announcement of our interim results on Nov 4 has

continued to go well and the outlook for the year to March 31 has not

altered,' Tate & Lyle said in a statement.

Financial analysts expect the company to deliver full-year profit before tax, exceptional items and goodwill amortisation, of around 238 mln stg, up from 228 mln the year before.

With 2005 sales contract negotiations largely completed, the group expects to at least maintain margins on sweetening products within its North American division in local currency terms, despite higher energy costs.

Margins on food ingredients and other products are expected to have risen.

But Tate warned that the 2005 pricing round had been 'competitive' within Europe.

'After higher energy costs we expect total sweetener and starch net margins to be slightly below those achieved in calendar 2004,' Tate said.

The company went on to report that demand for its Sucralose sweetening product remained strong adding that its expansion projects are on track.

Leading food and drinks manufacturers such as Coca Cola and Pepsi, the world's two biggest soft drinks makers, last year launched Sucralose-based diet versions of their soft drinks -- Coca Cola C2 and Pepsi Edge.

Demand for the product has been further boosted by the Atkins diet craze sweeping the United States, with the sweetener now used in products ranging from low-fat ice cream to popcorn.

Tate shares closed Monday at 457 pence, valuing the company at around 2.2 bln stg.
