Star of the show for me at present. It's already paid for this year's family holiday (and it won't be in Spain).Roll on the news.

Another nice steady rise seemingly against the tide. (Famous last words!) Just over 2 weeks to D Day and now standing at 26.46 - 26.53

Nice steady start when most others are down. Let's hope for a steady rise through to 10th March results (and beyond).

Another interesting RNS http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=201002171625363061H

Scuppered by profit takers. Never mind, there's still tomorrow!

Lookers have just posted an RNS to say that their prelimary results will be announced on 9th March, the day before INCH finals. Kust read the Lookers Interim Management Statement and it is lookering good: http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=201001120700053727F

We have 3 Inchcape Honda dealerships within 40 miles here.

Heard on the lunchtime news that Toyota are considering ANOTHER recall. This time something to do with the PAS. More work for Inchcape dealerships worldwide.

FTSE is drifting lower but INCH continues on its way upwards. Good sign and let's hope we're back to the 30p+ mark very soon.

RNS on 16 Feb shows that AXA increased it holding by 12,032,700 shares. Pre close trading update issued on 17th December stated: Trading for the 11 months ended 30 November 2009 Trading performance remains strong despite challenging market conditions and the Group is expected to close 2009 slightly ahead of our expectations. Total revenue for the eleven months to November 2009 is 11.4% below last year in actual currency and 17.5% below last year in constant currency. For the same period, our like for like revenue is down against last year by 9.4% in actual currency and 15.6% in constant currency. In the second half of 2009, Group revenues are benefiting from a strong demand in New Cars in the UK and the early signs of an industry recovery in Hong Kong and Australia. Our gross margin performance remains robust and we continue to benefit from good Used Car margins in several markets. Our After Sales business, which represents half of Group gross profit, is performing well. Our cash flow generation remains strong and our cost base and working capital are well below levels at the end of last year. Good enough for me to forget the short term gain and hold.

26.02 - 26.10 and rising. Partly due to all round market confidence today but surely there must be an element of individuality in it. Good point Sage - I'm off to check out latest RNS on movements.

I bought 20000 a couple of days ago hoping for a quick profit. Now I am having trouble convincing myself to sell. Huge amount of sales compared to buys today (if those figures are to be trusted) and yet it continues to rise. General market sentiment?

Any ideas if news ever gets leaked from INCH before official announcements?

Prices are up all round today so INCH isn't alone in that. Keep it coming tho! Are we expecting any prelim announcement before results are published do you know?

http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=201002011411234638G Seems to confirm a healthy confidence in the new Company. Helluva increase.

Looks like the property news from Russia has rubbed of on EEE. Let's hope that the confidence flowa through further

One would have thought that this move has strengthened the Company by making it bigger and more operationally viable. It still has to be sanctioned so maybe the market is waiting for this before the SP moves any? I intend holding for the long term and if funds become available before a rise then it will be top up time for me.
