Difficult VELO This is definitely a BUY and hold share for me but I was ' thinking ' about selling and coming back in after a possible small sell off. That said the market is down over 1% and yet PHOENIX has hardly moved. The rise has been really strong and steady but as you say it must stop somewhen. Perhaps AVIVA's bid activity has shaken up the life sector. Me I think I'm NOT going to tinker I'm just going tp HOLD

Massive cuts in the price of Coal would effect GKO alot more. Thats not going to happen in India as there is almost a ' fixed ' price for getting it to India or out the ground. I genuinely think this is a very positive share on a two to three year view. Results in early december could easily give the share price a 20 to 30p boost from the present 145 - 148 p range ! Well capitalised, Outstripping supply predictions, Building projects on target, favourable government support, and a guarantee that all GKO can produce will be bought. With India experiencing its own ' Industrial ' revolution these shares will go north IF EVERYTHING STAYS ON TRACK.

We are so so " bored " on here Velo, picking up big divs and watching this share get ever stronger. If you want action check out Opium on the TESCO thread he's a hoot

That August sell off to around the £2 level, looks along way away now. Recent strength despite the overall market sell off looks very positive for ZYTRONIC could well be approaching a new high !

Considering the recent market sell off and the collected Dividend these have held up really well. Really positive for BRIT the last few weeks

Don't get that, like most of your posts !

Simon Thompson this.......Simon Thompson that !! He makes some good calls, some bad calls and some in the middle. This share will not move greatly one way or the other just because of ST. And yes he may change his view on the share, So what he is allowed to do that ! Everybody changes their view on shares otherwise they would'nt buy or sell them. IMO Netplay offers a secure and growing income, a steady if unspectacular growth profile and is generating loads of cash. 11 to 14p should be a good entry point on a 2 to 3 year view. The point of consumption tax is overplayed and is probably costing the share price 2 or 3 p at present

Yep, this share is looking good for both growth and income ! A heady mix in these difficult ( to find a bargain ) times !

Yes I bank with and hold shares in Santander & BARC. I find Sant quite good but ..........Barclays levels of service are appalling !! eg They never, ever answer the phone. I was in line waiting to be served the other day for 12 minutes !! There were 10 to 15 people waiting , only 2 windows open BUT low and behold in the foyer area there were 5 staff waiting to pounce trying to sell something or sitting on their ar**s poking at a screen !

Sorry but I think all this talk of suppression and manipulation is total and utter rubbish !!

Well they have arrived at £7.50 !! 4 days early. To be honest I thought they might sag a bit for a while. But not sure now. Everything is going to plan, Tipped up again today in I/C and further reccomends for income seekers. Still yield a chunky 7 + %. Underlying value at year end reckoned to be over 1120p a share an increase of about 15% + the debt is down making more deals on closed books likely !! And this boring share has risen 15% in no time at all. Yes I'm sure it will pull back sometime and then go again, who cares I'm staying in for the ride !

Recommended as an Income play by I/C

Good luck Gojo, going against the crowd often brings success. Personally I got out very early and am happy with my decision as I have watched a further 50p go south. I feel my money is better served elsewhere at present as I do not see a catalyst for a re rating any when soon, say 6 to 12 month. But I wish you well and hope I am wrong and they start rising soon. Much cheaper say another 15 to 20p down would make me interested because at that level a takeover could genuinely be in the air

Tipped again in IC today

132p If you are an investor (ie) buy & hold get out now. If you are a trader ride the falling waves cos its going to get tougher and the tides on the way out................... so for investors the ' boats ' not coming in any time soon !

Nearly got to my £ 7.50. Should be there or thereabouts by early Sept when it goes ex div with a tasty 26p if the market stays fairly steady

Too late for the interim, ............but analysts concenus forecast has been for about a total yield of 14.5 to 15 % at the £2.40 float price in the first year. This has been supported by ' noises ' from BRIT promising that Capital / Cash that cannot be usefully deployed will be returned to Shareholders in the for of special dividends. Unless my maths is totally awry that leaves a further 30p a share in the offing somewhere in the ' near ' ---ish future ?

Ouch ! unlucky !! so near yet so far

Interesting to see what happens to the share price in the near future. Usually ex div ( as from today I think ) the price would drop off a bit.......................but with the hope of a special div lurking somewhere in the future will this stop the drift ?

Strange movement today ? Initially went 1.5 % down, Then got back to level and then suddenly jumped as much as 4.5 % ahead ? Anybody know why. Has been on the drift lately but seemed to be slowly , slowly climbing and then today the BIG YOYO ?
