No problem for me Mr Chukkers. I do find it irritating at times when posters try to say you have an agenda or are a shorter just or want to get in cheap because you hold a different view to them. You may note I ascribe no motive or agenda to your positivity in the company. That is because I can weigh up your opinion by what you write without the need to make any assumptions about you. It would be ludicrous to do that right because I don;t know you. On teh contrary as it is a chat board I find opnions contrary to mine like yours in this case useful for balance. It will be interesting to see what the recent seller does into this strength.

might mean the 72% non-scrips are reinvesting their dividend money. Well obviously not all but I suspect there is an element of that in today's buys and the subsequent rise. If this is so, the 5% share buyback potentail agreed at the AGM might be a useful tool to underpin the SP.

Yes still holding DKL. Got a divi yesterday. Very slow and tortuous holding but feel we will ultimately be rewarded. They are trying to take over Norplam in Ghana which will give them greater scale but that too is slow. What is your Target Price here in FLX?

Are shares that binary for you The Chukkers? Neither of your suppositions are correct in my case. I have been bearish on this since 53p if you read my posting history. You might want to get out a bit more if you are narrowly focused on just shares you are bullish about or are short or looking for reasons to invest. Here's another option to broaden your horizon. Learning to avoid shares that you wouldn't or shouldn't invest in. Having watched this share with interest and thought it was going closer to 5p than 7p I feel obliged to congratulate Dibs who posted his purchase here. The rest of my post was an acknowledgement that my worst fears were beilied somewhat by the update today.

Dibs, congratulations on yoru timely buy! Excellent call by you. I have to say today's RNS belies some of my fears about this company. Position. Not invested and not going to either. While it realistic now for this to climb, if I see " the 10p today tomorrow next week" + "no brainer" +"not having mine " etc brigade pop up I think I shall scream.

Hi Exon., Good points raised there and yes it was from Proactive. I haven't seen the note myself but more supporting evidence is the Target Price. GKN is is bout 325p so it couldn't be downgraded and have a target price of 595p. It would be stretching credulity a bit far to say the journalist invented his own TP so it must apply to Greene King.

Analysts at the broking arm of high street banking giant HSBC are worried that the UK pubs sector faces “twin risks from consumer weakness and rising input costs” and have downgraded their ratings for both Greene King PLC (LON:GNK) and JD Wetherspoon PLC (LON:JDW) as a result. In a sector review, the HSBC analysts said: “We can’t be sure of a consumer downturn, but do worry about the continued increase in costs and the ease with which this can be mitigated.” READ: Greene King's full-year profits fall on Spirit Pub integration costs They added “Operators have already struggled with this even in a benign consumer environment. We don’t see obvious valuation support, and think downgrades will drive share price weakness. “ The analysts cut their rating on brewer and pubs operator Greene King to ‘reduce’ from ‘hold’ and lowered their target price to 595p from 680p amid concerns over its cost outlook in particular." Definitely Greene King. The strength of the bounce back already shows me the advice was erroneous. 675p to 700p is probably fair value and 650p too cheap. I don't think there are surprises in the pipeline. The balance sheet is packed with frehold pubs so there is good cash generation. Value will out here.

probably accounts for the fall. They also downgraded TDW so maybe they think the sector is overblown. The almost parity with the Euro, Brexit turmoil and starnge weather elsewhere may mean more staycationers who will pop out for pints during their holidays. Also more tourists will come and hopefully try some beer and some food. The sector is not as bleak as depicted and today certainly represents a buying opportunity.

after a steep rise yesterday. I can explain neither. Particularly the aggressive mark down this morning. Down 5%+ now so I wonder was there a sell tip or else a PW in the sector. Very starnge tarding I must say.

Et Voila! 12.25p ask has come along. CAT did you get the Scrip dividend? i don;t think TDW offered me the option. If they did I have missed the boat :( I wanted to take shares rather than the divi. Our 2.3% rise so far has put us at number 50 on the riser's board today on the Daily Mail site.

Looks very strong at the moment with investors buying at all prices up; It is heartening to see this break through the £12 barrier as we seek to go back to £13. It is going ex-divi next week so that will take a bite out of the SP. Hopefully we will be a bit higher again so that the SP remains above £12 which to me is quite an important marker.

Well presumably the 10.40 trade is a sell so real mid price is 11.88p. We rarely tsay for long on such a tight spread in this illiquid stock so I predict we are going to 12.2p in short order.

Rather me than the conmpany initiating the authority we gave them at the AGM to buy shares Rugs :) I hope it is someone with an aversion to odd numbers rounding up or else somewhere desperate to receive the annual report so wants to be on the register. The mind boggles. Good to see a buy at full ask of 12p. Will we breach this key resistance? I did say at the AGM I didn't want Nordpalm to be a distraction. How long can it drag on for?

Very pleasing update today. Companies like Churchill really are my cup of tea. A 33% rise in operating profits and strong momentum really puts everything on a plate for investors. I am almost bowled over by today's results as the company has a track record of improvemnt over many years and yet exceeds expectations. A 17% rise in the divi means investors need to shell out decent wedge would they want to be part of this. A 5% today is certainly no crock and after reaching highs and then a steep fall I think I can see a bowl formation appearing in the charts. This is tightly held so I would expect to see £11 in short order or perhaps onto £12 to make new highs. I would like to raise a toast to Chruchill.

Today's SP performance has been rather beastly. I am not invested here yet but feel it has decent profits and a decent dividend.. The more it comes off its highs, the more attractive it becomes. I will watch the trading range to see if this is now going to trend lower. I think 650p is not a bad price but obviously today's fall might accelerate. Does IG make more money when markets are volatile?

Good price Rugs as someone paid 12p this morning. Terrible to see us so far below 12p. They best get a move on with Nordpalm. On the bright sometimes DKL have well planted stories in the press over bank holiday weekends. It would be nice to see a tip update.

The incremental increases in NAV as markets recover from any recent weakness is underpinning the price here. I have been surprised myself at how well the SP has held up even after breaching new highs.Delighted to be tracking this one upwards. Very undervalued even after the current strong run.

If they have news shouldn;t they be RNS'ing it? Is it exciting to the extent that it is material to the SP?I can see why 'falanx' rhymes with 'planks.'

went down well with a 2.4% rise. the attendees will be like a bear with a sore head tomorrow presumably.

Jolly, this bear is all class. It has a fur coat and no knickers.
