Unfortunately without the benefit of hindsight, or a working crystal ball, we only ever know what a bargain price is after the event. 411p could well turn out to be a bargain, or you may be correct and it may go to 350p or below. I have neither the patience or the knowledge to predict what a share may do, so have always bought as and when I have had the cash and let events run their course. Some I win and some I lose, but am up overall. I have absolutely no idea what people are talking about with their ascending wedges, candlesticks and charts. I've simply bought into a share, or in PSN's case got them when they bought Beazer, and sat on them for the long term. Not a very sophisticated strategy I know but it works for me. Hope you get the buy-in price you're looking for, and as I've no need for the money for a while yet hopefully it will rise again and give us both a profit. ATB.

Nothing has changed from my post of 22/11. We are still waitiing for the merger to be 'closed' at which point we will have the record and payment dates confirmed.

Really don't think 2011 will be anywhere near as bad as the left wingers- or whingers - would have us believe, and anything has to be an improvement on the mess that the Blair/Brown dis-alliance got us into. I for one will definitely not be depressed, in fact I'm rather looking forward to the new year - things can only get better!! There may well be a correction, but am not expecting to see sub 300 anytime soon, and remember for every seller there is a buyer.

You need to drink more coffee M8, maybe a piece of cake as well would help!!!

What you are missing is the number of shares each club has and their mcap. TTNM have 123mill shares and an mcap of £83mill, PNE only have 3.3mill shares and an mcap of £3.1mill, making TTNM the bigger club by a factor of 27 times. It is the overall size of the club that is the factor not the sp. Or to further make the point Arsenal only have 62,217 shares each with an sp of £11,000.00 giving an mcap of £685mill, or 8.25 times more than Spurs!!

Unless we get a trading update or an indication of the div being reinstated we are waiting for the year end results to be published in Feb. Hopefully the bad weather will have a positive impact as some car drivers have been switching to coach and rail travel. This was one of the reasons sited by SGC yesterday as it posted 1st half profits up 43%. Let's hope it has the same impact here.

After another big rise rise today - up30% in a week - can I respectfully suggest you go back and look at your figures. Were you holding them upside down? 'Cos this aint going to 250p anytime soon LMFAO!!!! Do you have any more tips for shares that are going to bomb as I have some money to invest??? Don't give up your day job!!!

Let's hope so. But this spate of bad weather may have dented revenue streams and we may have to wait a little longer.

If it carries on like this not only will we see 100p+ by the year end, but they may also think about re-instating the div. I'm off down to my local depot in the new year as the misses wants a new kitchen - every little helps.

Perhaps smiley99 meant to type 520p and not 250p!!! Seems more likely after todays near 9% rise. Only problem is that those of us in the DRIP will receive fewer shares for the same 3p div - which is payable 14/12 - with the current higher sp.

12.9p paid 19/1 to those on the register as of 3/12. Or if you take the scrip alternative, one new share for each 43 held - at todays price.

They can have mine for £1.75!!

Nice to see you back barite, spouting your poisonous bile as usual, your new nick suits you!! LMFAO. See your predicting skills are improving "17/11: RRL >6.2p" Well you were correct for a day at least before it fell back. Keep trying, and don't give up your day job!!

For the hi-jacking of your board by wag and myself discussing other matters. But it was very quiet on here!! No news to speak of since the posting of the Nov trading update by Lowie100 - damn him, will have to be quicker next time lol!! As with NEX, let's hope the severe weather doesn't play havoc with SGC's profits.

Tut Tut!! Still not answered my question!!??!! lol If you do indeed take up some or all of your offer then I suspect, with your huge holding, you will be invited onto the BOB. Is this part of your plan? If you succeed will you remember me and treat me to some matchday hospitality? I'll bring along a bottle of Balvenie to share, but the age will depend on how kind the markets have been to me!! All this consolidation and offer malarkey may well be a sharp move, but I suspect it will not be for the small pi. Am sure the BOD have a plan and time will tell if you are correct in your assumptions, but think only a very very few will benefit from all of this. Even if the sp was to go to £50 a share my 10 shares would only net me £250 after costs, I make considerably more than that out of a 1p rise on BT!!! Suspect your break even to be around the £25-£30 mark, slightly less if you take any of your offer shares, so really hope this pays off for you. You'll need to be very brave, and very lucky - two character traits I do not possess!!!!

Have quite a few shares, mainly Blue Chip, so have my own tracker fund which is currently down with the markets. One share that is doing well for me at the minute, and helping to cover some of the other losses, is BT. Let's hope the severe weather doesn't do too much damage to NEX's profits.

The way this market is going, and with the pressure on Spain, anything is possible. IMHO I believe this will survive in the long term so will be holding and waiting for the upturn. As all of my shares were free from being an Abbey/A&L/B&B etc customer I do not have an original stake to protect so will ride this one out. At least with the sp so low the quarterly divs - if they keep them - will buy more shares in their DRIP!! GLA

Divi landed on the doormat today so off out to stock up for Xmas at the w/end. Don't want to get caught in the last minute rush!!

Not sure where you got that information from as yesterday Martin Morgan CEO of DMGT said: "that while DMGT could see the benefits of consolidation in the regional sector they would not be looking to buy a rival". Doesn't sound like good news for TNI's sp!! Below is an article taken from the Guardian today from Martin Morgan catagorically stating there is NO chance of any merger with TNI. The chief executive of Daily Mail and General Trust has made clear that the company will not attempt to expand its regional press portfolio. Speaking after publication of the company's annual results yesterday, Martin Morgan said that while he could see the benefits of consolidation in the regional sector, he would not be looking to buy a rival. "We can see that there could be benefits from consolidation ... [however] we don't see ourselves putting additional capital in for us to be a consolidator," he said. His comments follow newspaper speculation earlier this year that DMGT's regional arm, Northcliffe Media, could be offloaded to either Trinity Mirror or Johnston Press. Speaking yesterday, Mr Morgan denied that DMGT's reluctance to initiate consolidation meant that it was "abandoning" its own regional newspaper portfolio. "We don't see ourselves taking the initiative in consolidation in the industry," he said. He added that he also did not see much likelihood, in current market conditions, of much "fresh equity" coming into the market to enable any other regional press company to drive consolidation either. The Sunday Times claimed in a report published in July that DMGT was engaged in talks to sell Northcliffe to Trinity or Johnston in return for a minority stake in the enlarged company. The company strongly denied the report at the time.

Patience my friend. They will tell us when they are ready and not before. Think what it would do to the sp if they kept saying they were going to reintroduce the div, and then due to unforseen circumstances - lots of snow disrupting services?? - they had to cancel it!!
