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.

Hi jimmy and co...

Flogged mine yesterday but was only in for a short term trade.

No doubt will be coming back for more when through 50p resistance.

Through 51p now...Looks to have held .

I usally buy an amount and that's it for me ,but i bought more today ,even with a big step back in the FTSE i still like Taylor W ..Here's hoping.. :-)

Going ok jimmy 6% plus.

You couldn't get that return in a bank in 2 years right now :-)

Wer'e off again..........

Added some more on the fall back today.

These better than expected house sales in the US this afternoon Im sure are going to get a lot of press and media coverage tonight and tomorrow so hopefully TW will bounce upwards again.

TA is very positive on this one with an acsending triangle SP breakout.

Look at the length of the triangle aswell on increased volume as marked.

65p first hurdle if all's well with markets holding up in general.

Broker upgrade...

Taylor Wimpey UBS has raised its target price from 40.5p to 57p.

Above the May high of 48p the target for TW. is the top of 2009 rising price channel at 60p, so a little more than UBS.

New-Home Sales Surge in

July, Well Above Expectations
Published: Wednesday, 26 Aug 2009 | 10:06 AM ET Text Size By: AP



New U.S. home sales surged 9.6 percent in July, rising for the fourth straight month and beating expectations as the housing market marches steadily back from its historic downturn.

The Commerce Department says sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 433,000 from an upwardly revised June rate of 395,000.

It was the strongest sales pace since September and exceeded the forecasts of economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters, who expected a pace of 390,000 units.

The last time sales rose so dramatically was in February 2005.


The median sales price of $210,100, however, was still down 11.5 percent from $237,300 a year earlier.
