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?

Well, up by 12.5% today !!
Is this the start of a small rebound?
Many people think this latest drop has been way oversold and at this price the bounce percentages are massive.
Some say "gone by Friday" - Others say up 50% by Friday.
I guess we just have to wait, but I couldn't resist a small punt.

Wants to bounce again today, plenty of buying and most likely some of the shorters are closing after 2nd day on the UP.
Bought some earlier on as the order book is strong also
spread now 4.38 / 4.40p +0.23

From The FT:
"...there [is] a political dimension in the current climate, politicians would be unwilling to let banks pull the plug on the UKs biggest food manufacturer."

Having read the full article I think there may be a lot of sense in this quote from it.
Politically it would be an unmitigated disaster for Cameron & his austerity program if the UK largest food producer went under.
I feel a very big bounce coming!!

i would urge caution to anyone considering nuying here - it is really negative sp in terms of value - that political stuff was rumoured last week but that has happened before to other companies and did not stop them going to the wall
however i like my HOVIS lol so if the HOVIS dough continues to rise good for them - bit incredible though
will the gov put their hands in their pockets to help? that is literally what is needed as pfd is in the knackers yard otherwise imo
