Apologies guys looking at the wrong bloody ticker there! - getting a little carried away -yes low vol this morning - hopefully some buying this afternoon - that seems to be the trend of late - lets see

Huge buys just gone through for MCG - Follow themoney
gla dyor etc
MCG Mcap is currently at 533m which is quite simply ludicrous in a market where oil is tanking and interest rates/inflation are falling - the chicken is in the hen house and the foxes are prowling - the Cosmens know it and I am pretty sure there are plenty of others sniffing around - looking at past trading figures with MCG where debt has been similar to what it is now but the economic scenario has been better the mcap was way way more than 533m - any takeover bid will have to be pitched at a price to factor in current/future economic conditions which are favourable right now - standard takeovers usually offer around a 35pct premium which would put MCG at around 116p - if there is more than 1 fox on the prowl this goes out of the window - personally I am looking to triple bag here at around 170p

The results will need to be spectacular on Thursday to keep this run going - Mrs C is in Bluewater atm - I asked her to pick me up a couple of jumpers for me in the Men's sale - she has just called me to say there is only 1 rack of clothes in menswear left in the sale! - 1 rack!!! - it is looking good boys and girls - fingers crossed for Thursday

I would be very surprised if EZJ are not hedging their oil allocation at these prices - will add handsomely to the bottom line - bring it on

I have to say I am very pleased I topped up yesterday at 485p - I originally bought EZJ on the back of one of my wife's friends comments - she has been in the management side of the airline business for around 30 years - she recently joined Easyjet and was blown away by the Easyjet holidays and the potential for profit - the sheer volume of scale here must command a healthy margin surely and with Easyjet being associated with good value for money I don't think they will have any issues attracting holiday business - looking to double bag here with a 425p average -

MKS share currently down - some of this due to profit taking I think after a recent good run and some may be due to the Next results today showing bumper sales - the read through may be that they have taken market share from MKS - Personally I don't think so - looking at the sales items left on the website it compares favourably to recent years which means more stock has been sold at full price - it will ultimately come down to the trading update next week - I am confident the results will be good - lets see

An extract from the FT article "However, government officials said they would be given some leeway given the difficulties in taking out essential parts of a network while still running services." - this is a basically a non story designed to depress the bt share price - I will keep adding on more weakness
gla dyor etc
Added to my holding here at 485p - non exec director bought 10k worth at 507p a couple of days ago - directors will know a lot more than we do about the current EZJ position - will add on further weakness

"Systemica Getting badly burned which is nice to see" - not quite, they took out their short position at 0.5pct back in Jan when the share price was trading at 132p and increased their short over the year - so probably still well up - they have reduced though in recent months so maybe some pain being felt - will be interesting to see if they reduce further - which will in effect increase the share price as they buy back stock - they still have a 1.28pct short position and that is a chunky amount of shares to buy back -

Share pattern continuing to repeat with any selling being bought heavily - no smoke without fire - someone knows a lot more than we do me thinks
gla dyor etc
Definite share pattern here this morning - any weakness is being bought heavily - good signs here -

Some very big buys have gone through here in the last 30 minutes - someone is loading up and loading up big
gla dyor etc
"Outside of the takeover context, where persons acting in concert acquire 30% of a relevant company or increase their holding between 30% and 50%, the concert party may be required to make a mandatory cash offer to all other shareholders" - That is techno speak for load up

Get on the gravy train now boys and girls it is about to leave the station - use the codeword stampede

Yet another investment fund loading up here - the cat is out of the bag boys and girls, the worm has indeed turned - the big boys have come to play - follow the money

To Pedro, KG, Mary, Poker and all the other long term holders on here, I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year - I think the worm has turned here and it WILL be a prosperous New Year -

Added to my holding here first thing this morning - looking at pre booked restaurant reservations I would say it is going to fly high in the New Year when the trading update comes out - there is plenty of money out there atm and it is being spent big time - I was in London yesterday with the Mrs and we generally always go to Nicholson's pubs as they are managed well and reasonable on price - went to 3 of them yesterday and couldn't get in!! - absolutely rammed - augurs well for the trading update -

"I think maybe now fund managers are realising just how cheap this stock is -" - this is from my post on here on the 15th Dec - European Express Enterprises is an Investment management firm - 17pct as Poker says gives them some input in terms of future direction - 30pct allows a bid - follow the money
gla dyor etc
JJ, Neil, Chilting and all the other long term holders on here - a great year for the mighty Marks and Spencers - wishing you all a Merry Christmas - looking forward to a properous New Year with MKS as we head north of 300p -
