Yes, think you're prob right. These are crazy days indeed!
I'm also a newby, these were my first buy last july @ 161p sold 4 months later @ 232p a good solid co in prime position in their business. If you can afford to hang in for 6 months - they will be over 200p again soon IMO.
I recently bought shares in MCB on weakness a-mid the news of 2% increase on last years sales. However the price continues to fall? The numbers all seem to add up to me! I am newish to the shares game though. A strong long term buy IMO.

Nice to see at least one share swimming against the tide!! FTSE down 400 points in a fortnight, MCB +5p. Could an all time high be on the cards? This reached 261.5p on 25/5/07. Interim results out next Thurs 04/02.
Move up to the next level 250-60 withing the next week or 2!!!
since the start of the recession/markets crashing back in june 08 this stock has just been going up up and up! (with small retraces ofcourse) so going AGAINST the markets. definately one to keep an eye on. GL
I got these shares cheaper than: http://www.lse.co.uk/ShareNews.asp?shareprice=MCB&ArticleCode=3jm5v192t5nyb7l&ArticleHeadline=McBride_says_nonexecutive_chairman_buys_10000_shares_in_co
Wonder if it will hit that or more today. That would be great.
This is looking quite good now as it's moving back north from it's lows. Gutted I didn't get in around the 90p mark. Got in at 100p and 101p. I started getting a little weary then as it didn't seem to be moving much and couldn't pass that 101p area and even fell back again to 99.5p. Wish I had topped up again then, but started to have some doubts whether I made the right choice in this share after all due to the time it was taking to move north from when I had bought it, but it's finally moving north now. Hope it continues.
