The changes announced yesterday are great news for MAR City. Their properties will be more affordable as a result of these changes. This bodes well for growth and profit here.

Not sure if we will get to £3 by Christmas, but this advert is a pretty shrewd move! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NWF2JBb1bvM

I did say it was just a matter of time!

Esure Group PLC (LON:ESUR)‘s stock had its “buy” rating reiterated by Citigroup Inc. in a research note issued on Tuesday. They currently have a GBX 294 ($4.69) price target on the stock. Citigroup Inc.’s price target would suggest a potential upside of 22.50% from the company’s current price. Q3 update due tomorrow, so last chance to get in before then!

This looks like it is following the same pattern as Safecharge (SCH), which is from the same stable. If so, we are heading for a big ramp up in the next few weeks/months! GLA/DYOR.

Not sure why this board is subdued. I guess it's gone under the radar a bit. In terms of the share price, I suppose that the big house builders came come off a bit, so that impacts the price here. I think there's lots more to come here, so I am holding for the medium/long term. GLA.

CPP APPOINTS GROUP CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AS IT REBUILDS TOWARDS THE FUTURE CPPGroup Plc, the international assistance business, has recently strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Charles Crawford as Group Chief Operating Officer.

He will also be responsible for service delivery across the 14 international countries within the Group. A key component of this being the delivery of the Group’s transformation programme to strengthen IT and operational standards.

Agreed. Dividend should be well covered given the strength of the reserves. At these prices, I'd be buying!

This is one to watch imho. It's from the same stable as SCH, which went up c50% in the first 6 months, but did nothing in the immediate post IPO period. Worth getting in now! DYOR.

Agreed. The next year or 18 months will be the low point. However, motor rates are moving up, so this is a good time to get in IMHO. Once esure and the other big players declare the price war is over their prices will start to move. GLA.

FLASH: Numis reiterates add on esure Group, target cut from 320p to 285p

Been tracking this from day one. Not sure why the big drop now? Has to be a buying opportunity I think.

Told you! Still more to come from this. Also look out for Crossrider, which is coming soon.

Profit doubled and divi trebled at Bovis! Could this head the same way? When is the next update due?

And dividend trebled. Let the good times roll...!!!

Stringvest12 - can you predict a slide for a few other shares if I give you a list please?

Not sure what this means, but I don't think it's good!! New World Resources Plc and New World Resources N.V. (the 'Company') announce that the Company did not receive consent from the requisite majority of locked-up noteholders to make the 15 July coupon payment on the senior unsecured notes at the end of the grace period that expires today. As such, and in order not to jeopardise the strongly supported restructuring transactions, the Company will not make this payment.

I've just bought in. There is a lag in this industry. Rates are starting to harden and results will improve a year or so down the line. Henry and Co have a great track record and understand the cycle as well as anyone. This is a compulsory purchase for car drivers, so the market won't disappear.
