Friends are going to release a management statement on Tuesday, has anybody got an opinion on wether it will be positive or negative? Making a small profit at the moment and not sure whether it would be best to get out on Monday, in case the market reacts badly to the statement on Tuesday. Think they'll rise quite a bit if the statement is positive though. Any advice appreciated, thanks.
...follow the link , whilst many who do not follow fp in depth may view this as bad news , this is good news to those that do...Lombard and F&C Asset Management are salt of the earth and performing well. IMO , FP is a stock that is great to day trade and one of which you can retain a few from the profits from the lows to the highs. ..a safe haven play to get 30%+ on those retained and if day traded well , will be in the 20%+ league per week from the highs to the lows , etc. Watch the volumes and place on your watch list , imo.
good for you , it is a pitty you did not do it on the lows on mon/tues prior to ex-div , did try to flag it without being accused of ramping , fingures crossed , news should be out in an hour or so , certainly over the weekend. Regardless of bid , FP is ripe for the picking by others and has many disposals up its sleeve to get this towards the £2 in short order , imo.
Bought in with a tight stop, a purely speculative buy, IMHO JC have been playing a classic bid game. Also talk of RBS huge rights issue for a bit of subtle comp. What the hell....... its only money.
Went ex-div wed 16.04 so that is indeed why the sp fell and if you were holding the shares at close on 15.04 you qualify for div. Obviously if you were shorting via a cfd , you would pay the div out but if on a long , you would receive the div , hope this helps , byeeee
Hi all I've had a position on these open on a T+10 for a few days and just read somewhere that they went ex dividend - is that why they dropped so suddenly the other day? Does anyone know for definate whether I would be entitled to a dividend payment if one is actually paid? My +10 doesn't need settling until the end of next week. I've been told completely different things regarding this and really would like someone who knows for SURE to fill in the blanks...your help is as ever appreciated.
if FP will talk with Flowers for a bid of 160 why does Flowers not make the bid subject to seeing the books. This stalemate attitude is crazy, or am I missing something. Its only a figure to start at surely.
I thought I may have read somewhere that FP may have ammended their ex-div date from 16.04 to a another date , I may be wrong and cannot find any ammend notes so guess goes ex-div as noted ,ie. 16.04. I know that Flowers have warned FP that if they pay the dividend that the price offered will drop , presumambly pro-rata , and that alll deals are meant to be off if FP do not want to open talks by end of play Friday. If anyone has the ex-div date different than 16.04 , please advise, thanks
This should have risen a bit more on the strength of the possible bid which is now looking increasingly unlikely. I wonder was this ever a possibility ?
Can i just ask what will happen to my shares if it all goes ahead, will i still hold shares of some sort or will they automatically be sold
god! when the hell is this stock gonna start moving? just waiting now for flowers to get their heads out of thier pots and walk the walk.no more bullstiening like you did with the rock guy's.
two years seems a very long time to see a return theres a lot better cookies out there good luck anyway
Look! its gonna be stripped of its size which will make it a cheaper buy.this company has all the network in plce for sucess.just has to be run by someone who knows what needs to be done.someone with the right input and links...that will be flower...soooooo.....they will make a bid and whoever hold or buys now will get a great return in 2 yrs.this puppy will grow.im in for another 5k when the drop settles.think about it.this is the smallest of its kind and will be in good shape finantially when all is sold.a failing business i hear you all say......well! only in the wrong hands..bit like a nice football that everyone has left cos they think it has got a hole in it.where really it has been let down and all it needs now is pumping back up.in 18 moths we will have kick off.
Been researching the share, cant sleep as I drunk 1Lr Redbull at 11.00 oclock lol. Ok in laymans terms FP. are deciding next week to either break up the business, or to receive takeover bids from interested partys. The long and short of it is that most "gossip" values a first bid approach of between 170 - 195 per Share, obviously if a couple of Co's get into a bidding "war" ahem, it may be higher. Scoobys link further down this page is a good one. Take a look.
I bought into this @167 on pure speculation, I watched it for a couple of weeks before going in, but as ever I buy in with a trailing stop loss of a few pence, for me I'd rather loose a few quid ten times to find the one that flys up, if this doe'snt go anywhere, Im doing research on three others at the mo.
Iv'e E-Mailed ADMIN for a seperate room for these sort of Blogs, as of now, if you wanna talk to someone, you have to be in a named stock ie were in FP. just bogging.
Hiya red, I can tell you my views on the Rock but its just a gut feeling as I am completely rubbish and still learning so be warned. 1 - Why should the SP go higher ? Bidders want the Rock as cheap as poss so why offer the board any more that a quid per share for it? 2 - What would happen to the SP if RAB/Big Boys etc bailed out soon? 3 - Are you willing to wait Years for your money back or would you not try a different stock. What will you do if Feb 4th goes tits up? (probably be ok though)and the S/Holders get stuffed. Anyway its up to you, I hope it goes good and im wrong, lots of ppl saying 120p before the talks, If I were still in, i'd put a trailing stop loss on of 3p just incase of a massive sell off.
hi wizz.saw you on the nrk board.do you know what is going on here now with FP?i bought in at 163.. hopeing for possitive news re a takeover.i have been told that the sp will go up to 220 aprox.can you give me any info.p.s hope you come out good with nrk.we all had a rough ride and cant w8 for it all to be over.loved the buzz,hated the media and negitive comments.im in for the long and just hope we get the chance to buy discounted shares if they are offered.i presume RB still the man ...be nice for liquid to take the helm or a saudi to pump it full of cashola.just gonna w8 till it goes to £6. 2010 i think :(
Ta, loadz of info.
Im pssed off that this site has (and STILL HAS IT ADMIN) reported a bit of an important trade as a BUY when its a freekin SELL ADMINNNNNNNNNN. So much do that Ive just put a stop loss on it for Monday as im fitting a house full of windows so wont be here lol. Cheers.
