HI Fallingknife Yes, the supporting evidence kills that one, thanks for that clarification. Must have been a typo from the originator, those with the benefit of the brokers note or those without a feeling that this share is manipulated on a regular basis could see through . I suppose with the manipulation up yesterday :-) !!! not too bad in the end Glad they left Marstons as a hold, that might have done some damage. And, GKN not in the least bothered about the Typo/downgrade.

Hi Bungle99 Depends who your broker is! Interactive Investor didn't send mine until 19 September last year, the same day that I reminded them! AJ Bell YouInvest don't issue the vouchers, but they will email Greene King to mention your holding, if you ask them to and for the purpose of obtaining the vouchers directly. Regards.

HI Fallingknife Thanks for that input, I notice that the reference quoted appears to have come from Proactive Investor published at 10:50. I checked this before I published my thoughts below.at 10:12. Appears genuine but bad research. click on the links they are old material, and about the last time a certain company (not HSBC, manipulated the price down by about 5% early doors) Would need to see HSBC note, anyone? Yes it is clear that HSBC has downgraded parts of the pub sector, but I am still not clear on the GNK (pub) downgrade the report mentions Greene King, but not Marstons, which was mentioned by HSBC, along with Wetherspoons. stockwire this morning " HSBC today downgrades its investment rating on GKN PLC (LON:GKN) to reduce (from hold) and cut its price target to 595p (from 680p)." if you check GKN engineering on Hargreaves Lansdown, new HSBC target 595. No mention of downgrade for GNK ( the pub ) Amazing what press reports can achieve.

"Greene King was hit by a downgrade to 'reduce' at HSBC, while JD Wetherspoon fell after a downgrade to 'hold' by the same outfit" Has someone got this wrong, from what I can find HSBC downgrades Wetherspoon's and put a hold on Marstons and Mitchell Butler. They also downgrade GKN, for me this is an engineering firm. confirmed by Daily Mail and Hargreaves. Has anyone seen the GNK downgrade?

Did we hit the bottom this morning 113.8, we will see. Shorts were 1.28% on the 8th and has been falling since 5.13% in February. My opinion is that Blackrock and Old Mutual have manipulated the price down to lock in long term 6%+ yield, which is covered nearly twice. Rock solid company, after all, the recent acquisitions have been supported by outside lenders, who obviously don't see bankruptcy on the horizon. 5 year low, rubbish, this is not Carillion it has assets, diverse product and run by competent management with ambition and foresight. My second biggest holding 10%, GFRD the largest. Down at the moment, but happy to keep buying, good part of my pension input. Live in Lancashire so the discount card is used on a very regular basis, when that disappears I will start to worry.

Presumably, the government's Help to Buy Scheme to support the housing market may be wound down within four years.

Liberum Capital Broker Note 05/07 Initiates/starts as a buy with a target of £8.4 Leaving JP Morgan only one to downgrade (to neutral @ £7.5)

The reason for the fall seems to be JP Morgan downgrading from overweight to neutral reducing target to £7.50 from £8.10, citing, With the risk that UK consumer spending will deteriorate in the months and years ahead, it is difficult to see a positive catalyst on the horizon, However press does not seem to highlight today Barclays Capital maintain outperform @£7.80 and Beaufort maintains as a buy. would think that £7.50 - £7.80 is a fair price at the moment. Lots of 400 trades this morning, in and out manipulating the initial price down by about 5.5%. I wonder who was behind that?
