Take a look at the last month chart, up from 390p, leak leak.

I remember that, but have only been in since March at 423p after reading about it possibly being prepared for t/o. So far so bad, until today!

Zurich interested and have until 25 Aug if they want to make an offer

Tom? Jones or Cruise? Have a good hike

driftking27 Check your calculator and I think it's fallen 40% from 1900 to present 1140. Not nice, but imo this is more secure divi than glen or aa. in this sector. also in blt, bp, rdsb

Poor old Questor, wouldn't buy at 215p, 4 months later it's at 366p, +70%. Wouldn't want to be Questors cat.

Hope you had a good hol. Keeping an eye on this but suspect further to go yet. Got out in May with a modest profit on the rise from January. So many big companies with multi-year lows and excellent divs about at the moment it is almost spooky.

The dividend costs £330 million p.a

From a TA point of view the only thing that might be said for BLT is that up to now they are not quite as oversold on the RSI as GLEN, RIO or AA, but not much in it. Hopefully the divi is safer than glen and aa who both look more vulnerable to a cut. It did hit 797p in Nov 2008, and this past few weeks are the worst since then for blt.

The above policy which bhp adopt in order to shield against volatile fluctuations in one or two products is being tested due to all four (iron ore, copper, oil and coal) being at multi year lows at the same time according to reuters. They shoved everything else into South 32 with what looks like the worst timing possible from every point of view. Who does know what's going on I ask myself at times like this, if those guys can get it so wrong? Not that they are alone in this of course, check out rio, glen, aa. Certainly interesting times in commodities, can go on down a lot longer but when it does change, as it always does with these companies, hold tight.

SP practically half of what it was 12 months ago and dividend cut forecast for it and glen. Not looking too good

249p to 337p in just over 3 months and no posts. If it was a 1p oily the herd would be all over it

Herbie1 I doubt it will 'encourage other countries to overspend'. By and large countries do not enjoy being humiliated under the spotlight of the World media, and the politicians involved even less so, as it shows them for what they are. Not an enjoyable experience I would imagine.

Understandable as it is much more expensive to do an open offer. At 125p it's not too bad and the divi is worth holding for imo, and hope the sp will eventually reflect the progress. Will hold personally

2 biggish sells showing this morning of 2 million shares and 1.7 million shares

rbrand good to see you as optimistic as ever

Correction £4 billion now but £5.8 billion at 250p as you suggested

Fruitster £4billion+ for a company in an area that they are already strong in? I doubt it very much. Particularly as the stores are considerably bigger than their normal footage.

To think that they both probably have very similar information to work from, it really is incredible that they can can come to such differing conclusions on the direction of the sp. Again it begs the question ' are any of these fakirs worth their money'? Does anyone lose their job for really getting it so wrong?

Opium One of the great advantages of being a private company. Like being a private individual, one has a right to privacy. Public companies = public information, except of course when they try to cover their tracks.
