anything under 7 cheap cheap cheap. good div. just paid. chart looks sick

cynic we have been here before with MKS sp, with all the promised tax cuts and easier money supply coming over the horizon there are plenty of cash rich predators sitting on the sidelines ready to pounce, even Phil Green might be tempted again but at this moment 3.5 might do it rather than his last offer of 4.

you can always live in hope

unfortunately hope alone will not make money, buffet is quite right fear will make you money if you have courage and more importantly vision. Don't get bogged down worrying about today's on going bad news look ahead and invest if the time is right.

Wiat a bit and you should be able to buy @170p.

i am contemplating shorting MKS and also ASC.
ASC has a fab record, but i truly wonder if it can keep bucking the trend ..... if it disappoints with its christmas numbers, then sp will get absolutely hammered

Cynic - if the current bid of 203 breaks emphatically then I'm with you. In the meantime I'm contemplating another long. Stop 200, target 239.

Tabby - you noted an intraday price when I closed my long at 234 just under a week ago (post 85 above) with the implication that you would beat me around the head with it later to demonstrate what a dumb thing I'd done. Perhaps you and I should form a double act and call it 'dumb and dumber'?

Long 204.25

Added 203.25

Nice gap ... 240p here we come

Dil - I sure hope so - but right now it doesnt look good :-( Tempted to add @ 202.25 if I get the chance - but I know I should'nt. However - buy orders look really strong between here and 200 - so maybe.

Whatever happened to tabby?

Probably getting shaf*ed by BJM ... everyone else is imo.

200 looks strong - placed a buy order @ 200.25 - hopefully it wont hit.

My guess is that it will hit 187p.

Haystack - Thin air/gut feeling? or chart/fundy valuation?

Moving back up now - sell book looks sparse - but I'm sure we'll see plenty of sellers well before WINS 100k

Citibank have downgraded to 190p.. the Xmas sales have started early this year.
