With 5 brokers in June suggesting a near 50% up tick from todays price, an I looking at the same info they are.

(Contemplating abandoning ship).

A fantastic upward move this morning, I'm only 33% down now.....

"This share is definitely going to rise as labour is committed to building 1.5 homes over their term so only about 1.2m left to build in their last three years."

I assume that was said with maybe a touch of irony or sarcasm? The current Government are all about talk. They couldn't build any confidence in the market never mind 1.5M houses. Who is going to build them. There's a staff shortage as folk can't be arsed to go to work any more. I was in the building trade for close on 48 years, it's never been as bad.

And as for a scheme to encourage first time buyers, no chance.

To those who stand to make some money out of this, well done. To those of us who stand to lose money, commiserations. It's not a huge amount but still a loss. I have made a few ££ trading Wood in the past so have to accept it.

What really annoys is that another decent British company goes abroad for what would look like a paltry sum. And that the Scottish Government, the one who claims to support Scotland and wants independence to run the country have failed to support Wood Group in a time of trouble.

The way folk are still going into and spending in my local M&S foodhall, despite their rising prices which are now too much for me, I can see this continuing on an upward climb for some time to come.

GLA, DYOR etc

Been holding on for the 30p (or more) mysel but it's been a long wait and I'm getting impatient. 30p would be a 15% gain from current upy/down current price but I'd still be at a loss. However there are other stocks out there that have jumped quite a bit while I've sat on my hands.

We have four well respected (?) brokers recommending a "buy" with a minimum target of £115 yet the SP keeps falling (9%! today. I can't see how there can be so much of a difference of opinion. I bought on a drop but the drop has continued unabated.

Who sold out this morning as it started to dip. Thought that's it's peak will fall back now to the low to mid 600's.

Got it wrong again......

So Wood Group are managing to sell off what I assume to be none core or non profit making businesses, thereby adding money to their kitty whilst taking on additional 10 year contracts, hopefully to make a profit rather than buying business for the sake of employment. WTF are they selling the whole company for less than it would apparently be worth in a few years time?

Unless of course senior management are going to pocket large sums of cash whilst exiting the back door. The company seems to me, the uninitiated, to be a long term business and I assume Sidara are looking at it in a similar light. If remained in the hands of the current shareholder collective, there's no apparent reason why it couldn't be 60 or 70p in two years time. Or am I over simplifying things.

At 25p. Do I feel lucky?

Of course with HL you can't sell either. If you'd want to. I was hoping to buy to average down my 40p average.

Up on time, sat with finger on the button at 8.00!

Now way past it's best buy price and HL still greyed out.

Yep, watching the price rise and they won't let me access

I'd vote NO but I can see the scenario of Sidara just buying up the shares playing out.

If they get the percentage required and vote Yes, they win, if they get the percentage and it goes above the 30p they win......

Game over.

Can't agree more Stanleyb and whilst robbing us they are happily lining their own nests.

That has always happened through the years as well.

"The Wood Board believes that the Acquisition represents the best option for its shareholders."

Not if your average is above 30p!

Seems to me they're looking after everyone but shareholders.

At open I could buy easily at 79p, now at 67p and a bit of a frenzy. In KEFI and GGP do I need another roller coaster ride. I sold out a few weeks ago with a small profit. Maybe I should have waited. Who knows? Happy days everyone.

Initially I'd say yes, the Scottish Government should be all over this and supporting a Scottish business and it's workforce. But then I look at the Scottish Government's history in the hands of the SNP who have made an arse of everything they get involved with.

Oh, hang on, maybe they're already on the board....

Saw it had dropped, went to top up, had a quote from HL, checked their data sheet went to requote, price gone up - insufficient funds.

Having watched my profits drop I'm getting concerned it may go down further, there's a year low of 2622. Still paying a good divi but I'm getting concerned, it's a large part of my PF.
