Based here in Dublin. I was happy to purchase a batch of birthday cards for my children and grand children recently from Card Factory. I also purchased some go withs, such as a couple of helium filled balloons, numerical candles, a mug plus a Christmas Decoration thingy. A new store has also opened in the area. It is always full of parents and grand parents buying stuff for their children and grand children. I am happy to have two stores in the area where I live and I will continue to drop in to see their new items.

Unfortunately I am in at £1.28....and as per usual it continued on down. 42000 bought. No wonder the market makers grabbed my order. Also bough similar amount of Taylor Wimpey. Also holding Whitbread, Volution and SSP.

Made some good money on HSBC last week but I am out now........nothing I am holding now is showing a profit except for a small profit in Volution. Not worried though all good companies and all will come good.

LordLucan....do you also post here under another name?

Did the price drop as low as £1.25 today?

Sold out at £7.1850. Good profit. They continued upwards after sale, but trades moving so fast it was hard to pin price down.

Hard decision but I have released £85k to buy elsewhere or even get back in if price dips.

I believe they jumped by 2% overnight in Asia. So they should break the £7 price today. Whether it lasts before/after budget is a different matter.

I'm in at £30.50. £100k worth. I am playing with another £100k elsewhere. I have though at buying back in when the price drops to average out....but to be honest I haven't got the balls to do it.

I had my order in to buy 3000 at £22.95 yesterday when they were trading at £22.85. However, they were moving so fast that they were £23 very quickly.....so missed it. Kicking myself now for being so greedy. Would have paid for our late summer and autumn holiday.......I have missed a few of these lately. Not good.

Even the dog shares are up today. A strong FTSE 100 and Mitie is down.

Travelling through Dublin Airport, I notice that all the cleaning has been outsources to Mitie. The place certainly looks a lot cleaner. If they can continue to pick up contracts I am sure that this share will grow and grow. I wish the share price would just pick up a pace.

Maybe you are happy to sit on a dull share. I have better things to do with my money than sit around and watch this move by 2p up and 2p down. I like my money making money for me. My target is £500 per week profit. I am not making it with this share.

Probably the most frustrating share I have ever owned. Can't wait to sell them when I see a bit of profit.

What are muslins?

This share is in the doldrums. Any thoughts?

The share has been slipping recently. Sanderson shares have slumped in recent times also. Housebuilding not happening. Anyone any views on where this share is going?

The only concern I have is that they might come back to the market with a rights issue to fund their expansion.

33 million shares sold today. What's the story?

What are the issues with the new scanning technology at airports?

Well I should have sold before the ex-dividend date when the price was £31.40. I would now have the cost of my investment plus profit back in my trading account. Instead the share price has collapsed by the dividend amount plus half again and I don't have either my profit or cash available to trade. I will get my dividend though in due course. I am beginning to think that the best strategy going forward is to sell my holdings a few days before the ex-dividend date if I am in profit. Note to self.

At this stage I am going to do the same. Take my div and then watch it fall back to below £30. I think when the shorts are gone we will see this trading back up to £36 pretty quickly. It may take a few months. I will park them for the moment and concentrate on the other half of my investments and try and squeeze some quicker profits there.
