...at today’s SP surge. Delayed reaction, perhaps, to their recent release of the expection, that 2008 full year net profits would be above current market expectations. And that trading in November and December was stronger than anticipated

"British Land has confirmed plans for a bigger than expected fully underwritten rights issue to raise £740m that will help underpin the property company's balance sheet and provide funds for possible acquisitions. The heavily indebted firm will give shareholders the right to subscribe for two new shares for every three held at 225p each, a 53% discount to last night’s closing price. In a separate statement, it reported growing third quarter losses, up to £1.61bn in the third quarter to 31 December from £1.33bn a year earlier"

Thanks. Perhaps, some of that long-awaited good news.

Re: Drop - not really. This share has “held up its head” well, during the recent turbulent times. Good pipe-line, cash “no prob,” we only need to hear some good progress on their portfolio, and an encouraging, upward spike should materialise!

"On a brighter note, household goods and personal care products producer Reckitt Benckiser announced full year results slightly ahead of expectations and cheered shareholders with a 60% hike in the final dividend. Full year pre-tax profit of £1.47bn was up from £1.21bn the year before and ahead of market expectations of £1.45bn" Too high - worth a short punt.

Normalised pre-tax profits came in 57% ahead at 33.4 million pounds. Full year revenue rose to 298.9 million pounds versus 259.2 million pounds last time, beating analysts' forecasts of 286.62 million pounds. The final dividend was increased by 10% to 1.32p per share.

"The current licensing opportunity pipeline to enlarge that base further remains robust," it added. However, it also warned that the near-term outlook for the sector remains uncertain.”

I’ve missed two good “get out, get back in again points ” with Spot gold price. However I haven’t been “short” of a lot of good deals today. ATB
