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

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

up 6.50p for the day not bad

Very true Insur - so keep your fingers crossed for more tomorrow!!

stockbunny- symetrial triangle waiting for a bounce off the trendline-like to see volume kick in ?

that city spiell insur,,,,,,,,,,symetrial triangle,,,,,,trendlines. have you been reading to many books like darius.

wake me up when the bell tolls,,,,,,,it could be a long sleep .

I will do Dave, that's if I'm awake myself at the time LOL

Insur - What you are saying is probably true - fact is it doesn't
mean a lot to me, but then a great many things don't (lol) so don't
go by that!! But if it looks good and helps the cause you keep
telling us about it, we are all interested in helpful clues along
the way :>)

evening all,a bit dead today on mtn .

morning all,sales up allmost 5% on same period last year,and so it should be,looking good.roll on a cold & wet winter.

there`s lot of people entering at least. volume of buyers between 1000 to 10000 shares entering constantly,that`s a good sign.

Up currently Dave, figs were helpful, now all we need is another
quick rumour out of the States!! ;>)

wishfull,you dont ask for much do you bunny, be nice that 2.30 and i`am out.

230p! Wow I'm not even expecting it to go that far, but yes it would be
good you're right! No, it's not like last year, can't see me making over
260p again on it - I'll cut and run around 220p, unless it looks very
positive and then I might hold on. That said if it messes about around
210p for too long, I'll sell out anyway in the end.
Looks like we're the only two of the usual crowd in here today Dave.

i you could say that,i was on a website the other day,and people where talking about a 3.00 take out price , on the horizon .
not to sure which one it was hemscott,advfn,one of those to ,
they new there stuff,by what i could make out,city types,i have called it 2.60 for some time as a take out price,but what do i no,there`s value and there`s undervalued,this mite be the undervalued.after all 90 million profit is on the horizon ,so work it out,,,,,, its hardly dead in the ,,water is it.

todays broker recommendation = seymour pierce, the broker has outperform matalan. panmure, matalan(215p price target).

funny that insur,the posty has just dropped my shares mag off,page 27 recommendations on matalan,arbuthnot sell 1.99 , 27/8/04 .it seems to me they no as much as the rest of us.just look at the last 24 hours of bfp ?
the more i read obout mtn the more i see the true value of it , 2.30 is cheap.
take the current price 2.10ish,we all no 1.95 is a bottom figure,so what is a premium price of a takeout,look at m&s,argos,asda,,i no m&s fell through,but taking in mind what sort of price was offered,well over 25%,on a days close.if you where to think along the same lines,with mtn 2.60 is then the first figure,that my bring others out in to the open,you could be talking 3.00 who knows.

Working Lunch today (Gillian?)didn't make phenomenally positive remarks about prospects. Her opinion was that takeover not likely and stressed competition, etc.

jj,its not what i heard from some one very close in the board room,,,,,very close.

but unfortunately a lot more people will have heard the comments on
Working Lunch - the media always seems to win by weight of numbers.

i see there trying to wiz sainsburys up now,,,,,a holding of mine.i have not been there for weeks to by food.its all good for me.lots of intrest in brown & jackson girls,are you holders.,you should be at those prices,take a good look and do the suns.you will see what i mean.
