anyone know what is happening here, not complaining but I wonder if this is the takeover bid. Already 10% up in 2 days and as it is my largest hoding that is quite a lot of money. Might be that the chancellor can lower his borrowing targets anyway with all the capital gains tax I will have to pay, but definitely not selling yet. If anyone has heard anything please share. These sort of gains of relatively modest volume dont come out of nothing

gone through the 50 p now , not exactly sure why, but freezing of Air tax and reduction of corporation tax didnt do it any harm. Every itme we have a move like this you if one o fthe sleeping major sharehodlers are coming out of hibernation. In any event time to celebrate and lets hope for further upward movement

2 buys of 120.000 shares this morning, not sure how they got them for 47.75 and 47.25 or why the lower price just a few seconds after the each other but might be delayed tarnsactions of some sort. In any event just proves just these shares are sought after and get snatched up as soon as they become available.

There is hardly any time that we don't have something happening in the world and it will always affect corporate travel. All my sympathy with the people of Japan but if we seperate wmotion from business travel will resuem to that area within the very near future. Most of busienss travellers to Japan are Japanese and tehya re extreemly resilient as we have seen already. Also the ocmpany will need rebuilding and business will need to be pushed so there will be loads of opportunities. Bahrain and Libya come a long way down the list of frequent business travellers. The latest figures from a TMC is out today and show the growth in themarket place. At the moment things are looking rosy and as X has said this share has shown extreme resilience in a falling market place: http://www.ttglive.com/c/portal/layout?p_l_id=3208370&CMPI_SHARED_articleId=4646174&CMPI_SHARED_ImageArticleId=4646174&CMPI_SHARED_articleIdRelated=4646174&CMPI_SHARED_ToolsArticleId=4646174&CMPI_SHARED_CommentArticleId=4646174&articleTitle=Business%20travel%20giant%20sees%2013%%20growth

BUying albeit for small volumes taking place at around 48.50-49.00, highest for a long price, might be knocking on the door at 50 pretty soon.

The fact i sthat there are very few shares taht are not owned by eitehr two big owners BCD (main competitor) and DNATA (close partner) who have 44% , big insttutions, and management. O fteh rest and I cant remember teh number but we are probably talking about 15% ny guess would be that at least 2/3 of those are sitting with people like myself taht will not consider selling for a very long time. Waiting for either the ccompany achieving a sp which reflects it's real vlaue whihc culd be around the 70-80 mark ( results due in May), a hostile takeover bid is launched probably be BCD or the company is taken private agian bu a joint action of the management and DNATA. In both those cases the price should end up somewhere between 80 and 100. The company was launched at 90 and the profits are now larger than they were then. Haven'e really followed th charts becasue this is a company I have a certain insight into froma professional viewpoint so tend to lean more to news on shares like this but happy to hear that you interpretation confirms what we all are believing.

Treading water at the moment. No doubt the expected results will continue to pull the price upwardsbut the unrest in ME and fuel price increases might pull the other waybut I am pretty happy to consolidate above 45. Interesting news story this week with Reed Anad mackay possible seeling of a stake of the company. It says that they are valued at 50 million. R&M are about 10 percent of the sales turnover of HRG and HRG is valued at less than 150 million. R&M might be the most profitable company in the business, but still, I doubt they would be 3 times more succesful than HRG and it certainly shows what potential HRG has if it could approach the cost sructure and margins that R&M has. We would have an SP of 150+. Anyway for now happy to start the next move past 50 and up to 60 soon, hopefully be aorund that level when results are announced in May http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/reed-amp-mackay-venture-into-stake-sale-to-fund-expansion-2226612.html

probably unlikely anything important is going on with DR in Peru: http://finchannel.com/news_flash/Travel_Biz_News/81148_Senior_Executives_from_HRG_arrive_in_Peru_to_celebrate_anniversary_/

meant too say good news but NOT surprising.

Good news but suprising, everything on track for good results. That means the results will be back to where it was when the SP was 80-90 and the dividend was 4p a year. The outlook is great.HRG at the forefornt of new technology. Worldwide operations growing which is crucial so not too dependent on one region. Credit arrangement in place for many years and very importantly the pension deficit down by about 30%. SP has reacted already and up substantially especially considering the rises we ahve seen recently. Of course not a word about takeover but that is a surprise for another day, who knows, maybe soon.In the meantime sit back enjoy the ride and the arrow up sign!

No news to day on takeover, surprised SP held steady but 44 is a good price compared to where we are a few montsh ago but near where this SP should and will be, Patience, Friends. In the meantime here is another bit of news: http://finchannel.com/news_flash/Travel_Biz_News/80618_Perfect_record_for_HRG%E2%80%99s_ROI_guarantee_/

"Corporate travel group Hogg Robinson climbed 7.9 per cent to 44½p on speculation of a takeover approach" Not from me but from FT who at least some times are very well informed, keep close eye on this the next few days. Spent the last 2 days at the Business Travel show, reasonable activity around the HRG stand and their 2 awards of course didn't harm either. Was extremely busy so have checked prices for 2 days so theis increase was very welcome, of course overshadowed by my old SAR shares which have just secured a huge profit, Quite amazing but I guess this si why we are in this game. Since I have much more money in HRG I just need 20% in these to secure the same profit but who knows where we end up if we get a takeover bid. Your guess is as good as mine, but inmy view the company is nowin a better position for the future than it was when the shares launched at 90 p. I will be happy with between 60 and 70 but holding my options open.

just seen this so belatedly Happy birthday, hope the next year will be good, healthy and how about some huge profits Still strange the whole refinancing got so little coverage, but never mind we are going well and will continue to do so.

i am sure that this is a mistake and posted wrongly. There hasn't been that many shares bought or sold today on HRG. I can see what it says above but we do see alot of mistakes. HRG is doing fine today and moved above 40 again.

very quiet here and generally for this share at the moment. I found this announcement of refinancing for HRG whci is quite positive, not really sure why there has been no announcement from HRG itself.I would have though it was significant and it certianly gives peace for some time to come. Nothing about the terms but the renewal was anticipated in the last accounts update: http://www.insidermedia.com/insider/south-east/46486-hogg-robinson-refinances-190m-loan/

Let me be the first that posts onthis news share launched today on the AIM. A lot of you may not know taht you have shares in this company but those who used to be in African diamonds (AFD) have now get shares on this one as well as in Lucara diamonds which trades on the canadian exchange and which has had great news and rises recently. If you held in AFD you investment has paid of and you should now follow the fortunes of BOD, Botswana diamonds

understatement of the year, doesnt look good, looks bloody disastrous and may be the beginning of the end for this company, has got very little to fall back on now

short but good tarding statement and the price has shot up, looking good for the future: http://production.investis.com/journey_group_tools/rns/rnsitem?id=4000315

no idea why theprice suddenly droppen a point today but somebody was ready and got 2 huge buys in at 40.25. Is one of the wellknown players building or is it just supreme confidence inthis share. Keeping eyes peeled.

Truely broken the 40 barrier now lots of buys at 42,nice to see people believing in this share, better late than never and still lots of room to build healthy profits
