I find the spread of this stock troublingly large. Either people/investors, have great expectations for thie stock and are hoarding it, or simply no one wants to buy at present, and holding on for another 10 percent drop. To me, it looks as if investors are discounting all the charts and fundamentls, and simply looking at the hard facts of global trade, and whether a sustsined pick-up in volumes will accompany any meaningful growth pattern. In short, is some spoint brat like the ruler of Dubai going to rock the boat and squeal 'I am not going to pay?' If the stock market tanks like before, this stock will similarly take a hit. Let's see what happens.

Ok. Then my personal opinion is that the share price will eventually reflect the fundamentals, and will rise accordingly. I am holding this. Good luck with everything.

i learned the hard way to trust my own research, experince, and gut instinct. You should really do the same, whatever method you use. My own conviction cannot and should not form the basis for another investor. I have my resons for holding this share. I may be wrong. I may be proved right. But you should decided for yourself, build up your self-confidence and trading skills. And the very best luck to you.

Any takeover - well, I would welcome that. It would lift the share price. - And as for Research, well, look at ARM, that company is a fabless designer of chips. Qinetic is the same in th defence field (and related civilian sectors). I invest in knowledge. Land is yesterdays prize. Today, is is knowledge. My exposure in this company is light, only 10K, but I am most certainly not going to sell or reduce. As I said before, dump British Aerospace, and buy Qinetic. You will see the share price rise. Time will tell. I made money on this stock before, and will do again..

I have to disagree here. Technology is long term - the contracts persisit,and Qinetic has overseas alliances and customers. The kind of defence products that will be currailed in a big way are the 'Big' items like aircraft and ships. British Aerospace will be he biggest loser here. Selling out its Airbus stake was a stupid shortsighted move. If you read the report of Sectretary of Defense Robert Gates you will see the kinds of 'smart and nifty' systems that ar the future of wareful/defence. This places Qinetic is a good position. Of the two, I would dump British Aerospace. Of course, time will tell.

I think the short day traders always press down the stock before an annoucement, so that a bouce can be larger and of course, they take long positions then. Patience pays off, as Mr. Buffer says. Hold.

Given that I am the only one publishing any posts on this board, I think it demands I be consise. So, This stock has a value about 20-to-30 percent higher than where it is now. It will get there, whereas cash saving will give you all of half-a pecent per annum if you are exceptionally lucky. Have patience, folks!

The short sellers have got hold of some of this stock and are milking it at the moment. I don't know how long this will continue for, but I suspect at some point the fundamentals will kick in and boot the short-sellers out.

The successive drops in the share price are indeed disappointing, and look gloomy. The only way to manage this is to take a long term view. Defence related industries and technologies are moving away from 'Big' budget kit life jet fighters and toward smaller nifty gadgets. So, Qinetic should do rather well.

The persent slide in the share price seems somewhat overdone. I think some people out there, brokers, et al, are disenchanted with the management and wan to send them a message.

What you say is correct,of course. But those numbers, that is 150p+ per share, has to wait the outcome of the imminent election. There won't be a hung parliament, but the LibDems should make some gains that give them greater scope in the years ahead. Brown is a solid hand, but tired, alas! Cameron seems to offer the brighter future, so I think the Tories will be back at the helm. Also, the economy is picking up. I see it all around me, despite islands of hesitation.

Having parachuted out of this stock when it was around 160, well, that was just a bit of luck as I needed the cash. So, I bought back in today and will hold. The reason is that future defence spending and procurement will focus of small, flexible, versatile systems, not the big 'mega' projects of yore. Qinetic is in the right game, and I think a merger, perhaps with a French group to boost the European cooperation agenda, should see the stock do well in days to come. It is small enough, and big enough, to command a good price.

The trade in this stockis exceptionaly light. Clearly, too many traders are thinking short term and are in 'wait-and-see' mode, which is not very enlightening if you are pitching for a jump in point since you have to second guess the vagaries of the bull and bears. If you have conviction, buy in to this one. If you feel the speculators are in the driving seat, hold on and hope for a better jump in point. Following the amateurish slogans and 'bank-bashing' or recent days, I veer presently towards the latter. Time will tell.

Stocks in general are proving volatile, so I by no means single out property as particularly prone to wild and irrational swings. But as someone once said, "Real estate is always the drunk driver on the economic highway'. I agree with that designation. That is why this stock can so easily soar to 500p plus, or equally slip to 250p or less. Or just stay where it is....... I think there are more surprise to come for the market in general, both positive and negative. Good luck to you in the meantime.

The rather static price range for this stock makes we wonder what it bodes for the broader market. I am sharpeing my antenae to pick up sentiment signals. I don't care for brokers so much at the current time, as markets are still too volatile. Let's see what eventuates, as BLND is very much tied ot the fortunes of the broader market.

I must share in the postive outlook on this company in general, and any stock held seems reasonable to hold. I don't think you will lose at all in the long run. But no company is immume to the general market, least of all a yound developing one such as this (which I like a lot). So, I see the stock following in the steps of the broader market for a time, and chart or no charts, the sentiment out there in the real world is volatile, and prudence is needed when to jump into this one. Steady's closing comments hit the nail on the head. Good.

When the UK GDP numbers are revised, that's the point the share price will start to significant'y lift (in my opinion, of course). However, bear in mind that the other property groups seem to have a more focussed management (in terms of commercial office space). The new team at BLND are innovators, but sometimes the conservative investors in the City don't appreciate that fact. Ingrained convictions, like habit, is a hard thing to throw. So, perhaps it makes some sense to spread your property investment among a larger (broader) range of companies in this sector. Good luck,.

Things in general are beginning to bouce back, but i wait and see if the broad market bouces back, or some sectors lag or fall. (Commercial) Property in general still seems to wobble up and down a bit, and i am interested in this stock, but am still sitting on the wait and see side because the wobbles, while unjustified and minor, can arbitrarily swing the stock price into silly territory for a while. I won't buy in just yet. And if I miss the boat, - well, my tough luck. It won't be the first time or the last.. I hope the rest of you make good profits out of this in that case..

There seem to be an awful lot of people bailing out of this one, and defence generally is suffering some setbacks. Is there word of pressure on the defence budgets that are of a scale about to surprise everyone? Is it time to bail out?

A vey informative article I came across today in the WSJ.com. It tells the narrative consisely, and places characters at the heart of any potential recovery. Given the new faces (and more importantly, new ideas and paradigm shift) the next year could be an exciting time for British Land. I remould some of the comments I made earlier with the proviso that a shift to a new way of thinking generates new opportunities. I admire bold men. And this is the time for bold ideas. Question is, are the ideas propounded the right ones to pursue aggressively as the management appear to be committing themselves, and the company, to? Have a read and make up your own mind. This is business on the brink of a surge, or stagnation. Let's hope the former. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704561004575012993627505872.html?mod=WSJEUROPE_hpp_sections_ukintl
