Bondholders in Brixton will this week call for the heads of the property group’s top executives and an independent valuation of its real estate portfolio in a move to derail the company’s takeover talks with Segro, its arch-rival. The property group will face a backlash from bondholders who fear the company’s takeover plans could leave them facing a loss on their investments, reports the Sunday Telegraph.

Shares in Carnival (CCL) cruised 100p higher to 1,671p after Thursday's second quarter trading update was received positively by brokers. Charles Stanley said the second quarter figures were ahead of prior guidance and market consensus, despite being affected by weak pricing. "Significantly, however, management suggested that pricing had probably troughed, with some signs of recovery in recent weeks," the broker noted. Charles Stanley cut its 2009 earnings per share forecast by 6.8% to 205 cents, putting it in the middle of the consensus range. Though it reckons the outlook is easing for Carnival, it retained its 'hold' recommendation. "Carnival remains the No.1 player in a global duopoly, has a strong balance sheet and is highly cash generative. We continue to believe that cruising is a structural growth industry. Near term visibility on yields and earnings, however, is poor. On balance, the valuation looks about right," Charles Stanley concluded. Numis Securities was a little more optimistic, and raised its price target for the stock from 1,627p to 1,748p.

SP getting close to our entry point. I may actually, hold on, and see if it get nearer to 20p ATB

....lost me on the TAN nuance! If you’ve been frequenting these “stand-up tan downtown amenities” – beware they can fry your brain! No, I've still one short left here!

It is all SMOKE-burners AND wing-MIRRORS, mate!! NB I’ve seen some great sights in the latter!!

..only one short now left to close! After that let the SP rocket so that I can get in again! NB I did note somewhere that car sales were "sort of in that big bad crusher" ATB

..next Friday.

Booking volumes for the second half of 2009 are now 26% higher than last year, raising hopes that crusie operator Carnival will be able to take advantage of the demand boosted by discounting to start raising prices again. At £15.71, or 12 times current-year earnings, await clearer signals from the bridge before buying back in says the Times.
