Don't think they have done that in previous years so they must think they have something worth communicating. Then again, it's all down to how the market reacts to whatever they have to say. Retrace after July statement wasn't as sharp as some of the others this year after updates. Given the recent past here , buyers are understandably cautious. Nice to see some balanced debates on here done in a friendly fashion but will the bb fall silent for a few months again after tomorrow's results until the next update. Good luck all.

The "sell" of 46,135 shares recorded today at 16:34 was actually a further buy back of shares by the company for treasury stock http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=SVG&ArticleCode=pl10eo91&ArticleHeadline=Treasury_Stock Jange did you realise you have posted on the wrong bb?

I bought in here yesterday like D4BV2 for the quick profit. I like to look back just to see if I did the right thing. If the ruffians like agema are arriving on the scene then I obviously did the right thing to make a quick get away. Morning agema - just off out to lunch xxx

Are you into the charting then? I kind of just react to news. I'm still waiting for Riddler's £4.20 prediction at pmo from 3rd April to come to pass but that's another story lol

Buys below the mid price being recorded as sells. Good luck to all long term holders here.

I sold yesterday and like another poster was just looking for a quick profit but some of the posts appearing on these bbs could be very damaging to the reputation of this company and unless some of the allegations can be proven then I would urge posters to exercise caution in what they are saying - even if they are just repeating something another poster has said. I am not referring to your good self of course. Good Luck to all the long term holders here. I hope some of you are brave enough to venture on here and defend your investment decision.

LOL now 27/ 27.25. Hope you are well Bonz haven't seen you post for a while. I'll look out for you on the other bb you mentioned. ATB

25.50 - 27.25 - think I'll look elsewhere. Sorry.

Agree with that and the bod seem to have been very swift to act and get the CEO out. Probably best if the divi is stopped temporarily until the company gets back to full health. GLA

Been watching this this morning. Looks like it has bottomed out and is on the way up (famous last word lol) Good luck to all quiet bb!

Welcome aboard. You sound like another woman but that wont stop us having a little dance together if your predictions and Yanar's come to pass. Little Eva and the Locomotion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5OoQadZTPk

So you've decided to change tack then and not wait until the day before the results as you intimated previously. Good Luck

Worth reading through the whole of this morning's RNS. http://www.hemscott.com/ir/bvs/ir.jsp?page=news-item&item=1024407682362878 Can't believe this hasn't edged up more than it has. Lots of highlights but check out this "With the Group's growth strategy delivering as expected and a strong improvement in the performance and future prospects of the Group, an interim dividend of 3.0p per share has been declared (2011 interim dividend: 1.5p). The Board expects to continue to increase dividends progressively as earnings per share increase."

Thorntons will announce its preliminary results for the 53 weeks ended 30th June 2012 on Wednesday 12th September 2012. Those wishing to attend the analyst presentation should contact Georgina Hall at Cardew Group on read more http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=201208161600012039K

Forgive me for not responding to you. There have been takeover rumours flying around for as long as I can remember but not involving Ritter. Popeseye on iii tells me there is another tht cafe and outlet at Loch Lomond shores which I haven't tried yet though I've been to the McArthur Glen one a couple of times now. Beautiful day here in Scotland so would imagine the coaches will be full of thirsty, hungry punters in Loch Lomond. Off for a little sail myself but not alas Loch Lomond this week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzQ1pNfbe3Q

Thanks - I might try to sell a few pmo as they have been a bit adventurous in the Falklands which may be a good or a bad thing. About to introduce a divi and will hear what and when in a couple of months. And was there a poster on here this week had high hopes of tht reintroducing the divi. We'll see. As for the cocoa thing, it's been a cyclical thing even in the relatively short time I have been taking an interest in tht.

You and Eva aren't planning a takeover bid on behalf of Ritter are you lol? You like your food shares eh? Think you bought into pfd around the same time as me in 2010.

larry - Eva isn't invested in anything yet for you to be offering advice about selling with moderate losses rather than large ones lol The Aim's bbs full of intrigue. I don't know about that. I don't usually read Aims bbs as they are usually full of rampers and derampers. I also usually try to avoid Aim's stocks though I sometimes take a gamble. German Christmas markets eh. I think you brought us the Christmas tree. If your daughter is in her 40s then your mother must be a ripe old age now so I wish her all the best. Anyhow I usually only get involved with serious comment rather than banter myself and I think we have had enough off topic comments on here already about Aim's stocks when Tht is not an Aims stocks. You're probably right about not reading the bbs too much. I get the impression some of the "interaction" is rehearsed in advance between friends and colleagues so not as spontaneous as one might think ATB.

Another recent story which didn't make it onto this bb. It is never a busy board but the holiday season has probably contributed to the omission Thorntons selects NetBooster to assist with major seasonal SEO campaigns Read more at http://www.thedrum.co.uk/news/2012/07/25/thorntons-selects-netbooster-assist-major-seasonal-seo-campaigns-0#78AzS6wzkfDZ3m3d.99
