170113 Grainger, as development partner for the Defence Infrastructure Organisation and the HCA, has submitted a major planning application to Rushmoor Borough Council for the 255 hectare former Aldershot Garrison site, known as Wellesley or the Aldershot Urban Extension (AUE). The outline planning application will pave the way for up to 3,850 new homes of which 35% will be affordable homes

Thought I read a while ago Grainger were refitting military housing. If the recall of troops from Germany has anything to do with this then good news for them.

Grainger have done a lot of work on reducing their borrowings and have secure funding. I think they are heavily London weighted but Grainger management look pretty strong as well. Wouldn't say they were toppy unless bottom falls out of London. They also seem fairly busy selling expertise rather than diving into large capital projects. Daejan are on my watchlist. They appear to have recovered their share price of 5 years ago whereas Grainger still at a quarter of what it was. I was considering diversifying property part of my meager holdings so will keep watching your informative posts on the other sites. Time for some research on Mountview.

Residential landlord Grainger rose after creating the GRIP unit trust with APG Strategic Real Estate Pool to acquire a residential property portfolio worth £349.4m.

Grainger continuing its steady rise. 1.40 to 1.50 will be test I suspect as it has struggled beyond these numbers for many years. Fundamentals look better this time so thinking of topping up as believe this can push on to 1.60 this time.

Oslo, 6 November 2012 -- DNO International ASA ("DNO International"), the Norwegian oil and gas company, announced today that the Benenan-3 well drilled on its Erbil license, Kurdistan region of Iraq, encountered an additional 210 meter oil column in the Najmeh reservoir which is expected to more than double the Benenan field's gross 2P oil-in-place volumes from 300 million barrels to an estimated 600-700 million barrels.

I agree it is a good education. Wish you well. I find my kids are just starting to find money does not grow on trees so you are ahead of the game. Take idioms seriously, that's my advice. They help when you get greedy and think this is easy.

I would not recommend throwing my student loan into shares unless parent subsidy is a guaranteed option when things go wrong. If you are buying MUL then your student loan will not be buying many shares! I buy shares for my post two childrens' post university funds with some Nationwide Bonds paying 4.25% over 3 years. Assuming you got your loan in late September then you would have taken quite a hit in mid October. Good luck with this strategy. Putting the interest free loan in an ISA is a better plan especially with the free £50 off Santander which is more than I suspect you have made on MUL since the start of term.

Easy profit yesterday but the ladies are not impressed with the colors, quality or Chinese and Turkish production. Not many wannabees in the market for £600+ handbags other than the high quality fakes which surprise , surprise are turning up in every market in Turkey. They even have high quality shops selling nothing but fakes in most the coastal towns like Kalkan. Done my smash and grab. May dip back in hoping Mulberry will look at the product having been given another kick downstairs by the girls that matter.

I like Grainger but not many seem to. Good profits , strong management and tight accounts. The move to London property and Germany seems well founded and they have their financing in place. I am thinking of buying for the long term based purely on the fact they have been worth a lot more and their portfolio has hardly declined in value. Am I missing something?
