hmm seems like someone may know something, or someones been smoking / vaping funny fags...…… from DB

Imperial Brands: Deutsche Bank reiterates buy with a target price of 2,400p.

that's a big target price given that all we have seen about profits and vaping lately, offer???

Yes, yesterday UBS has this as a buy with a target of 105!!!!!! Now that is optimistic IMHO

DONT BOTHER, The best way to play this stock is to short it before any quarterly or yearly statement, its always bad news and always somebody else's fault, its a shorters dream.

yes, not looking good at all, is this the first of the big 6 to go bust, will we go to a big 4 and CNA wont be one of them, there is nothing in any of these statements that would suggest this is a buy. IMHO

Yes, also looks like the short position has been closed but no date given as yet, wonder if they already had the nod before the news release and closed, will be interesting to see on what date the position was closed.

Just goes to show all these little new energy suppliers need tighter regulation not the big ones. Far too many small ones go bust then others appear, someone somewhere is making something.

Trouble is this stock has some really weird price movements, BATS seems to gain while this goes forwards in big leaps and then swings back by large amounts.

YEAH, Those shorts must be feeling that rise, another good divi coming up. Onwards and upwards we hope.

Interesting that shorts have closed out? Maybe in case Corbyn wins and offers £1.00 a share nationalisation? Does seem odd that all shorts have closed close to polling day.

Gbp strength against Usd ?

The Dow is not a real measure of the U.S. economy you really have to look at the S AND P 500, to get a real better view.

FTSE has now really just become another USD index just as gold has become a USD strength / weakness indicator. Just about all the top divi paying stocks in the FTSE 100 that pay 3 or 4 divis a year pay in USD.

Due to low interest rates the chase for yield has become another holy grail for the pensioners, just as moving into stocks has become a way to pay for pensions that the system cannot afford, I think the whole thing is running out of steam, yields are rising due to prices falling which is dragging in people who (wrong in my view) chase yield.

I do think that the stock market has had its day, the 80s boom and then the investment into it as an alternative to safely putting money into a bank and getting interest has gone, the next time bomb that is being primed and used is the EQUITY RELEASE BOMB, this no doubt will open up another miss selling scandal and / or use money that should be able to be used tomorrow to be squandered today to keep the financial machine churning ever onward devouring all in its path.

Yes, but with that short before last divi and now sentiment from BATS more bullish that's with today's move is going to make that an expensive short IMHO, Plus with a recent BOD buy of £1.5 worth of shares I feel most bad news/risk already factored in, indeed at these prices is IMB a takeover target?

With BATS statement out today we may see some movement to the upside, BATS seem to be much more bullish, price has been moving up accordingly, so why not IMB? Also a director of IMB bought 1.5 million £ worth of stock, therefore he feels confident.

Not so sure when someone opened a .50 pct short position on the 21 nov

But the capital cost of 3 years ago means you could be down 50 pct, imho there seems to be nothing been done positively by bod or house brokers of this company, why haven't Bats suffered the same? Maybe been pushed down for other reasons? At least they are getting a good price to buy and cancel shares in buyback!

just going back over some historic trades in IMB, sure got my last sell at the right time

12/12/2016 Sold 500 shares @ 3,477.13

just been a long way down since then.

Dividend concerns are fair enough, but new 10 year lows week after week, no point having good divis if your capital is been cut by 30 pct in 3 years.... just wonder why with all the supposed legislation, tax and other issues that our out there for this industry why then is BATS not suffering the same continued share price falls.

Only thing positive is that whatever company he joins next, short it!!!!!!

LOL like that's going to work, been done with booze, drugs etc, just creates an overpriced black market for the product in question, plus its never worked in the past.

Yes that seems a fair assumption, I think I would like a Chinese takeover right now, a.k.a British Steel, wonder if IMB in anyone's sights.
