Oh dear, two large companies combine and, like an intergalactic "event" only negative matter remains....a case of 1 + 1 = 0.2

Let me say - sp a year ago was 10x today's - so this business has earned its place in the 90% club....and maybe more to come, as they will need to go overseas for cash, if the UK is dry.

I doubt there is a UK Builder with enough dosh to bail-out this dullard. They all thought they could expand until the UK burst with immigrants - yet they consistently went for pricier properties and projects where ( even now), there is some doubt whether there are enough jobs to support new-build developments.

EDIT ( Nov 2015 ) - Seven years on and we're at 183p - so anyone that bought at the all-time Low has done very well - but the Market was fearful and that meant few were Buying. 2009/2010 averaged about 40p - that was a good time if you had the LT cash.
With the rise and yield-multiplier effect, this is looking like Buying it was "probably" inspired.... but it has not regained that earlier Value - which will surely take a lot longer.

I sold these this morning having held for years - maybe a bit hasty, but I hope to buy back @50p.

50p !!!!!! youl be lucky Skinny. Mind its been a rotten day today.

good move skinny, hope to do same.,. btw, forget my mail i sent have worked out for myself. bb

BB - I did reply this morning.

Skinny, nothing has come through to me for some reason, which is unusual. Never mind.,.

I need/want a bit more retracement here to buy back in :-)

so do i, set stop at 53p but as usual got it slightly wrong, had a profit anyway.,.

I sold @55.57 so anywhere @52.50p would be nice - the lowest I've seen since is 54.14p

skinny, I'm sure with a little patience you will be able to buy in well below your 52.50p mark.

StockMarketWire.com
Panmure Gordon has downgraded its recommendations on house builders Barratt Developments (LON:BDEV) and Taylor Wimpey (LON:TW.) to "hold" from "buy" following the share price outperformance seen over the past 18 months. The City broker has left its share price target on Barrett Developments and Taylor Wimpey unchanged at 190 pence and 58 pence respectively. Analyst Rachael Applegate said: The house building sector has had a phenomenal run since the start of the year and the basket of stocks is now trading at a premium to valuation. Whilst the market remains generally stable it is important to note that we see no immediate uptick in demand or house price inflation. At present, housebuilders' landbanks are generally continuing to improve, although most still have a balance between some old low-margin land and newer full margin or value-added land within their portfolios. Therefore, we see current ratings as logical in the main, and believe that the sector will pause for breath. Our recommendations have enjoyed excellent outperformance over the past 18 months but in the short term we are moderating our recommendations on Barratt Developments and Taylor Wimpey from buy to hold.
