No updates yet but expecting one any time. Looks way too cheap on a forward P/E of just 8.6 for 2011 and 6.6 for 2012.

Harry, I've just been offered 5k @113.8p

Cheers skinny. I assume they weren't on E-Bay??? ;o)
Think I might just watch for the moment, but tempted to buy a few for a punt!

Yes me too Harry - glad I didn't chase them this morning.

Was that your 1 share purchase @114.25 just now? :-)

i

Strange SP action. Wonder if the MMS have a big buyer or for that matter a big seller who was asleep yesterday.

Not too late yet skinny. The market could give you another chance. I reckon this rally has fizzled out and the price could pull back a bit. I wouldn't mind a few, but what would I sell? Difficult question.

Yes - last look I was offered 5k @111, which I didn't take, I have a limit in @109 which I'll check/revise pre-market.

Revised my entry to a quid.

You think more downside to come then? Like you, am glad I stayed out yesterday.

Wonder why directors bought before closed period comes into being before next update?.

Harry - I don't know enough about it and haven't got the time for the next couple of days to research - the press driven fizz has all but reversed - look at the (lack of) volume today.

Needs a broker note or two.

Wakening up guys beware, when it flys it bloody well flys.

And it has up 6% already, yeee haaa got in again just before the rise.

Closed up 5.23%

Nice.

Could turn very nice. :-))

Very nice indeed.

Shut uuuuup. lol

LOL, tipped in Shares Mag as takeover candidate this morning.

Added some more.
