That's more like it.
Now to push on back to £6+ mark.
Hard to believe this was £9 back in 2010 even amidst the credit crunch.
Did well from acquiring Bradford&Bingley and A&L on the cheap.
So the market's view of yesterday's results has magically changed overnight has it?
5% up.
Orchestrated fall yesterday allowed some people to get in on the cheap.
Pathetic.
No debt; good results; MM's at it18 Jun 2015 10:32
MM's at it again.
Quite disgraceful really.
Any existing debt wiped out; £15M net cash.
Profits and Revenue up yet SP was more than 5% down at one point today.
Once again - a disgrace and when will the FCA finally step in?
BLT has been around £20 for years; to see it ~£13 is surprising.
6% dividend.
Mammoth company.
Rebound due soon.
Had major support around £13 few months back and was quickly up to £16 within weeks.
Ridiculous SP here - large swings on a daily basis without much to back it up if any - market is truly broken and in the hands of those who can toy with the SP as they like.
Will prob fall 5% tomorrow
Morrisons
While the UK supermarket sector is likely to continue to endure a challenging period, there is great potential on offer via Morrisons (LSE: MRW) (NASDAQOTH: MRWSY.US). That’s because it offers good value for money at its current price level, with Morrisons having a forward price to earnings (P/E) ratio of 13.1 versus around 16 for the FTSE 100. This shows that, while its top line may fall further this year, its rating could still move upwards over the medium to long term.
And, even though dividends have been slashed, Morrisons still yields an impressive 3.5%. With dividends being covered 1.8 times, they appear to be sustainable and offer growth potential moving forward.

Morrisons boss to unleash 'the underdog'
“If we can get those things to run the right way over the whole week then we should be rewarded,” said Potts, who has personally toured 90 stores in his first seven weeks in the job.
He said Morrisons, which runs about 500 stores and serves 11m customers a week, was a “good brand” adding: “As the British underdog we should rejoice in that position and bring it to life at the shop.”
