cant find any comments about jump...........its first time past 2.50 for a while............A tenner wud be very nice -- but Id settle for a bit less.... say 9.99 ???

for brake --- I hope u mean break??? Its nudging the top of your envelope..........Budget cud push it up? or down??

today. down 8.50 on a divi of 13.50.............mkt still thinks its undervalued.............and so do I...

seems my weekend's research has just doubled.....

kio...massive spread...u feel sp move cud overcome that % ? its a big call. but good luck on it...

remember your insurance exams, mate.... reinsurance - it just spreads the losses out a bit...........lol

gemd ??????????????? lol...............

Hi. soz - I think I have mislead you....re chaucer...I will look but am on holiday atm. bk at weekend & will look then....The current Mrs Hicks just about tolerates me on my laptop if its not for too long each day.....she forgets we are here on some profits from xta shares... ho ....hum......Id say bark knows what he is doing - but me??? well??? may I give you one piece of advice? yes? ok dont listen too attentively to ANY of us on here......especially me...But on a positive note - see cbg held most of its gains in a tumbling market............now where are those bidders?

Oh no - not u again!!!! Just when I thought it was safe to buy some diamonds for the currect Mrs Hick ---------there you are --in first !!! lol.............Great minds think alike, perhaps????

Its not a bank in the conventional sense..... SP went £10+ in 2008...cenkos and landsbanki were two of the named "interested parties"....but who knows?

Still in............waiting for price fix..............I cant see this not continuing up..but 60p is quite a hike............

no life business.......soz.................

Ran similar business in north west england..........on life business.............a bit more that 5% personal lines..........what am I up to now?? well regular holidays...........charity work.............a bit of farming............a LOT of chilling................a bit of fun on stock market.....life is quite good atm....

Im in for the long term.......these figures cud put a bid bk on table........and if so 10+ is possible..........dream senario.....sell at 9.99 - bid rejected.. sp bk to 7 -- bk in again....then I woke up.lol.....No altogether certain I want to see bid success... CBG do well as they are...as u say nice divi.............good luck......

FSA didnt help.lol.........but mainly age, ill health (am ok now) and a mob called BNH who had a sack of pennies......put it into their shares about 18mths before the takeover.............Luckiest decision of my life..........or wisest? - naw Im not that clever..............I will look at chaucer & let you know what (if anything) I think......might not be soon - am holidaying with the current Mrs Hicks ..............which area do u broke in? we cud be neighbours -eek!!!

Ty 4 info on finsure...........when I was broking I always used CBG..........very flexible.............and efficient.............but dont rely too much on mop up of finsure business....................Of CBG's 7 divisions premium finance is a tiddler...good luck...

Excellent figures - well above expectations............dividend held.....................all we need now is a hint of another takeover attempt and we will be at £10+.................

Looks like we are the only ones to see this..............????.................Large pat on back for both of us.........£6.00+ here we come...........

Figures on 17th Feb... Chinese new year 14th Feb... This might give us an opportunity to top up at lower prices...The real test will be in April when the coke price is set...... I can see share price ------ glowing hot !!! Good luck......

Could be an interesting time for cdn between now and April. Dont be put off if sp dives in next few weeks. remember China virtually shots down for 2 weeks in their new year, so orders will start to drop in next week or so. I think 50p is pessimistic mkash - 60 -75 looks possible......
