I'm short, big time. ATB..... :)

"Temporary power supplier Aggreko continues to perform well but brokers are reluctant to recommend buying the shares after the share price’s recent good run. Charles Stanley believes the shares are high enough for the moment. ‘After a year of very strong growth in 2008, helped by the contract to provide power for the Olympics, Aggreko will do well to generate further growth this year,’ Charles Stanley analyst Geoff Allum believes. The shares remain worth holding, however, in Allum’s view, as the company’s international power projects division ‘offers a relatively safe stream of earnings.’ Charles Stanley has a price target of 630p for the stock. Like Charles Stanley, broker KBC Peel Hunt has a ‘hold’ recommendation for Aggreko shares, though its price target is lower at 600p. ‘We are likely to raise estimates by around 5% to reflect currency,’ said KBC analyst Andrew Nussey. Aggreko earns around 70% of its revenue in dollars."

"Aggreko, provider of mobile generators, reported a 56% increase in interim pre-tax profit, upped its dividend 15% and said its outlook for the full year remains unchanged."

"Punch Taverns is reducing debt faster than expected, according to broker KBC Peel Hunt. ‘Disposals for the year are in excess of £400m, well ahead of our expectations. As a consequence net debt has been reduced by more than £1bn. Management expects the payment conditions to be met for the Punch A and B securitisations, allowing further cash to be upstreamed to the plc,’ KBC analyst Paul Hickman noted. ‘While we do not underestimate the challenges presented by the financial leverage within the business, from a trading and cash perspective Punch appears to be beyond the worst,’ Hickman suggested. Progress on the debt front is likely to be well received and attract investors to the stock. KBC rates the shares a ‘buy’ and has a target of 170p."

..just sitting waiting to get back in short :)

"Punch Taverns is confident of its longer term prospects and expectations for the full year remain unchanged, but it remains cautious over the near-term due to the lack of forward visibility on trading outlook."

Yes. That is good news. No a massive amount, but at least acquiring, and not disposing, by BlackRock Inc. Link: http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=200908211756428625X
