Nice to see this top of the risers board today.

Thought i would remind you of this from 12/10/10. Guess that's 1.0 to me ROFLMFAO!!! Tree-shake Posts: 36 Off Topic Opinion: Strong Buy Price: 86.75 Brilliant Prospect.12 Nov '10. "BONZ1957, With all due respect my friend you have absolutely no idea what you're taking about. Yes, the IMS showed that circ figures were down, but you seem to be completely ignoring the fact that overall revenue was up, debts were down even further, and they are still on course for annual profit projections, and hence a healthy EPS of ~28p. This is thus VERY unlikely to go to the 60s as you say since its in a far better state of affairs than it was back in June due mainly to its GMG buy out and debt reduction that were not manifest are that time. At 85p TNI is completely oversold and an absolute steal, and if you dont want to take my word for it, then take the word of not only one of the directors, Mr Hoffman, who bought 25,000 today at that price, but also that of the institution who bought over 2M shares also, as per todays RNS'. To say this is all part of a 5 year 'dead cat bounce' is beyond absurb". Well, you got that one wrong my friend!! Now it is you who looks absurd. Did you take your own advice and buy-in?? Have you already bailed as you have realised that you got this one totally wrong?? Or have you held and put it in the file with the heading 'Must learn from my previous mistakes'?? Beginning to look like they are now burying that dead cat!!! ATB.

Here comes the 40's!! Is there no end to the pain on this one?? Where are the people who were rating this a 'Strong Buy' when it was in the 80's/90's??

Shares in BG Group rise as much as 4.7 percent on expectations it could help supply Japan with liquefied natural gas (LNG) after last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami knocked out nuclear reactors. 'BG has high capacity in LNG. One fall-out from the Japan tsunami seems to be that some nuclear facilities may not be able to produce power. That will have to be switched over to other sources, like gas and coal,' says Seymour Pierce analyst Brendan D'Souza. Just last week Britain's BG finalised a 20-year LNG supply deal with Tokyo Gas for 1.2 million tonnes a year, starting in 2015. 'These (nuclear) power plants might not be able to operate for some time. This is the main reason behind the (BG Group) rally,' D'Souza says, adding that it was still too early to quantify what the benefits to BG Group might be. Japan is expected to move quickly to import more LNG and low-sulphur fuels to generate power at thermal plants and replace nuclear electricity supplies put out of action following the nation's worst earthquake on record.

Think you mean 204p lol!!! But £204 would be very nice indeed. ATB.

Sounds good to me. Just so long as i don't have to wear a bl00dy pair of 3D glasses!!

Ireland's Greencore said on Wednesday it would not make a new bid for British food manufacturer Northern Foods after failing to reach an agreement that would offer strong returns to its shareholders. Greencore's initial all-share offer for Northern Foods, the maker of Fox's biscuits and Goodfella's pizza, was trumped in January by a 342 million pounds ($552.1 million) cash bid from chicken magnate Ranjit Boparan. Greencore said it had been working with a partner over the past few weeks on a possible takeover of Northern Foods and a simultaneous sale of some of its brands. 'This approach was intended to provide significant funding and allow Greencore to acquire only the parts of the Northern Foods business with the greatest synergy potential,' the group said in a statement. 'However, after substantial investigation, the board has determined that an improved offer could not be concluded on terms which would deliver sufficiently strong returns to Greencore shareholders,' it added. Looks like 73p is the best anyone will get now, so congrats to 'HobbyTrader' and 'tiptop01' who both managed to get an extra couple of p's out of the deal. ATB.

See the JPR results were maybe not as bad as you had been expecting. Certainly nowhere near as big a fall as we saw here yesterday. TNI now well and truly in the 50's and IMHO will stay here for a while.

Funny old game this share price thingy. We've been posting positive comments and talk of orders won for weeks, with only the smallest of price rises to show for our efforts. Results looked excellent, there was talk of 2011's growth equalling that seen in 2010, and the div was increased by 45%. Then news of one delayed order and the sp drops 20%!!!! Hopefully the markets' reaction has been way too savage and we will soon see a rise back to pre-results levels. Then onwards to your vision of 300p. ATB.

The overall profitability of the Group has remained good, notwithstanding the challenges presented by adverse weather conditions in recent months. Although the severe winter weather in December brought public transport to a standstill in many areas of the UK, Stagecoach said its performance remained good and the financial year’s first 40 weeks had proved profitable. The company’s bus division in the UK, which has networks in cities including Manchester, Hull, Newcastle and Liverpool, saw revenues rise by 1.9 per cent to 6 February compared to the same period a year before. In North America, where Stagecoach also provides transport services, revenues were up by 8.2 per cent compared to the year before for the nine months ending 31 January. This is compared to the 7.5 per cent growth recorded in the six months to 31 October. UK rail, the operator of East Midlands Trains and South West Trains also managed to produce a growth in revenue by 6.9 per cent in the first 40 weeks. This is compared to 6.4 per cent growth for the same period a year earlier. The Group's financial position remains strong. In February 2011, the Group entered into new, unsecured bi-lateral bank facilities that are committed for five years to February 2016 and we are pleased with the pricing and terms that we secured on these new facilities. These new facilities replaced the bank facilities that were due to expire in March 2012. This re-financing extends the Group's debt maturities and provides it with continued access to significant, committed, undrawn bank facilities. Stockbroker Panmure Gordon is confident about the company’s immediate future and has kept a buy recommendation on the stock. In December, Stagecoach announced that although it had increased fares the number of passengers carried was also up. It is likely that the soaring price of oil will force the company to increase ticket prices further.

Had to read your post twice as i'm not used to anyone agreeing with me on TNI lol!! Will keep an eye on JPR tomorrow and hope it goes well for you. If results are good and it gives a boost to TNI then great, we need all the help we can get!! ATB.

Best of luck with achieving an sp of £2.63 anytime soon!! Maybe their assets are a little over-valued. With the fall in readership and the rise in digital media content - most of it for free as consumers have shown a complete lack of interest for paid-for content - i fear there are only dark days ahead for the newspaper industry. ATB.

Or even SL. Whatever you do, do not forget the dot '.'

Results look pretty good to me, the only black mark is they haven't re-instated the dividend. Looks like your "very good good family friends" don't know what they're talking about, or lied to you!! As on 12/2 you wrote "Your very wrong on this one. Got somer very good good family friends conected with HWDN. They are saying come March things will not be so good. This is a strong sell in my eyes". Wrong!!

BG Group said assets in Iraq do not form part of its current plans after traders cited talk the company was looking at bidding for Heritage Oil's assets in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. 'We do not comment on market rumours or speculation but Iraq does not form part of BG's current plans,' a spokesman told Reuters on Tuesday. Shares in Heritage, which were trading up as much as 9 percent earlier in the day, were 5.3 percent higher at 289 pence at 12.28 GMT. Are they bluffing?? ATB.

With Trinity Mirror's national print advertising down 9% since the start of the year and regional ad revenue down 11%, along with the massive cuts in the Governments COI spending, as highlighted by Chief Executive Sly Bailey, this sp will IMHO not be heading north any time soon. In the long term an sp at or below 60p may well turn out to be a good buy-in price, but you may have a long wait. I took a hammering on here a while back, when i challenged a couple of posters who thought the sp was undervalued and were posting 'Strong Buy' signals when i was predicting a fall to the 60's. Well it turns out i was correct and they have since disappeared. The newspaper industry is not going through a good time at the moment. Dec '09 marked a watershed, when fewer than 10m national newspapers were sold on any day of the week across Britain for the first time since the end of the second world war. TNI's sales and readership figures have been falling ever since, which along with the current drop in ad revenue have helped to depress the sp to a two year low. Far from being undervalued, this one may not have reached a fair value yet. Would not be at all surprised to see this wallowing in the 50's for the immediate future. ATB.

Wish i'd picked up on your tip on EDD back in Dec. Nice one M8, got any more??? ATB.

Deutsche Bank raises Trinity Mirror PLC price target to 95P from 85P. Nice to see the so called experts disagreeing about which way this share is going!!! Although for reasons already stated IMHO don't see this reaching 95p any time soon.

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp should pay 11 billion pounds ($17.91 billion) to buy out satellite broadcaster BSkyB, said a top five investor, according to a report in the Sunday Times. Fidelity International, which has a 3 percent stake in Sky, wrote a letter to a BSkyB independent director, saying a 'fair value' would be 950 pence per share, with an additional premium to gain full ownership, the newspaper said.

Nobody seems to like this very much!!! Barclays cuts Trinity Mirror price target to 65p from 110p. Goldman Sachs cuts Trinity Mirror PLC price target to 75p from 92p. Numis cuts Trinity Mirror PLC to hold.
