Openreach bus briefing today and brokers touting £3 a share. Plenty of upside for this cash cow.

Reads like a dream.

Profitable well capitalised and strong.

Current thinking is that productivity gains will do the FED's work re inflation and the rates falling will be the story of next year, perhaps late Autumn and then monthly drops.

The speculation of a rate cut will buoy the market throughout and then sell the news.

Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

And early in the twentieth 1st century came the great troll disillusionment.

At least - should it hit £3 again it will be on the way to £8.

Doubled down here too, Good health to Mr Sorell .

Moooooooooooootoooooooooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggg.

Hopefully the start of a trend.

Certainly in a different phase from the 50p lift off 10 bagger. I used to watch XAR regularly hit the risers and fallers lists and wanted a piece of the action. Something always steered me away. However pulled the trigger this morning and will see where we are in 6/9 months - being XAR it will be in vogue again when least expected.

Yes 1p tomorrow and hopefully no longer a Christmas turkey.

Heading back to a more realistic level given the premium rises nailed on and not reducing anytime soon.

Take that as a positive - we own Monks and a company has such a huge potential. Rolling out the strategy at the low SP and a change in presentation should lead to significant upside from the 44p it traded in.

Good for you should be £1+ shortly, the wide spread is a pain but when it moves it shoots to the moon

From 81p it's looking dandy.

Expecting a bid for OTB before the recovery fully takes hold but will not give it up cheaply.

As pfc price rises - the trolls snooze and then a slight retracement the trolls wake up. Same old same old.

Market malaise drags into 2024

Xaar has released a trading update for 2023 that includes cautious commentary around 2024. The group is expecting a strong end to the year in terms of profitability, albeit with depressed revenue levels. Sales pressures are expected to continue in 2024 and, combined with downward pressure on prices and cost inflation, are likely to lead to a materially reduced level of profitability. We alter our estimates for both years to reflect the update.

Although the group is clearly navigating tough markets, we continue to see long-term value in the new products and markets that recent investments have delivered.

Long-term potential remains

As described above, we remain enthusiastic about the group’s long-term opportunities.

The new products and systems (as demonstrated in the recent product demonstration day

– see our note) appear to offer materially better functionality to customers, with moreviscous inks delivering better print quality, with faster print speeds (based on faster drying

times) and lower environmental impact. We will, as planned, revisit this opportunity with

another note in the new year.

Ty - never mind the 1st tranche is usually the tester and snooker rack in on further drops.

Worth a punt/

Redde Northgate - which last month was rumoured to be considering a £1.4bn takeover offer for bicycle and car parts retailer Halfords Group.

City source said Redde Northgate had proposed a nil-premium merger, but the discussions were abandoned because of disagreements over price. The Halfords board is thought to have concluded that any such deal on the terms laid out would have undervalued the company.

However, it is believed that Redde Northgate could mount a fresh bid if the valuation gap between the two sides closes. It is understood that the Takeover Panel was informed of the discussions, which took place in the last few months.

Quiet here, adding again. Seems to be only me. Shuuuuush.

Falling interest rates make this an interesting recovery stock.
