Agreed! Silence has been deafening from the board since the profit warning RNS. I would have thought UPGS would be a take over target shortly if price falls much further. Maybe Directors don't care having already lined their pockets with IPO

We keep pushing through £4.00 and slipping back. Surely there must be an end soon to the number of PIs who are happy with just £4.00? Come on, leave the room so the rest of us can motor up to £5.00. It's got to be soon surely? LOL gla holders who want a fiver!

Credit Suisse rated TSCO underperform again on Monday with target price 140p. What were these analyst smoking? Good HY results and hopefully the CMA will approve Booker takeover at end of the month. Got to be worth over £2.00 now surely? Gla holders Rich

Berenberg downgrades AGK to sell, target 770p. Joke! I bet in a month they will have upgraded to Buy, once they have filled their boots with shares...

2SFG suspend production at West Brom factory to retrain everyone on food safety. . Reassuring?

Just announced by M&S that they have suspended buying any chicken from 2S plant identified. Other retailers Tesco, Sainsbury, Aldi, Lidl have announced investigations. CRAW should do same to protect their brand, although this will damage relationship with supplier 2S. Directors should put CRAW first to ensure it survives any major investigations. Sorry if this sounds so negative, but this is where Directors earn their pay and have to stand up and be counted.

Having worked in food manufacturing for 30 years, I know a bit about food safety. The big retailers do regular audits (both announced and unannounced) These are really tough and factory workforce will be challenged on their knowledge of both quality, food safety checks and good manufacturing practises. Auditors are skilled at identifying shortcuts, poor practises, paperwork errors / falsification etc. It looks like 2 Sisters Managers at West Bromwich have allowed poor practises to occur or have focused on waste reduction rather than food safety / quality. The retailers will rightly come down on supplier like a tonne of bricks and I'd expect product to be put on hold and retailers turning up in drives to check the factory for themselves. Reputation and brand is EVERYTHING and well managed problems, communicated to the public in an open and honest way including recalls, actually build trust. Poor old CRAW is in an impossible position as they won't want the public to know that they buy "surplus" chicken from 2S so won't want to put any statements out, but will be linked by any FSA investigations / investigative journalism and link to 2S will damage customers trust in them regardless. They also don't want to drop 2S in the mire, as this is the hand that feeds them.

ITV undercover report on 2 Sisters factory practises about poor practises with chicken. Not good. Relabelling chicken kill dates, putting chicken back on line after falling on the floor, mixing old and new chicken etc. Not good that Crawshaw are buying surplus chicken and have tie in with this company. I was looking to buy CRAW shares again on sales / profit weakness, but I don't think I will bother now. Feel bad for long term holders. Gla Rich

Great HY results and 15% rise. Have sold half mine at 61.288p, will hold remainder for 70p target. Some good IC coverage should help push these higher. Gla Rich

I'm in at 120.8p. Can't see it dropping too much further although MMs doing their best to walk it down. Hold for a bit and see what updates we get. Some Director buys and / or broker buy ratings would be nice. Gla Rich

Not sure why this has dropped 5% this morning other than Irma hitting Florida. No negative news on Somero that I can see, so took opportunity to double my holding at 280p. Thanks. Gla Rich

25% upside..i hope!

Finally moving strongly upwards....hope we can break through and hold 400p

Hmm...immediate change of CEO and profits broadly in line. Perhaps explains todays 5.6% drop..

Took quick 10% profit. Probably daft not to hold out for more, but got lucky with Questor tip, the day after I bought. Share may drift once dust settles again...who knows? Gla Rich

Tipped as buy by Questor in todays Telegraph!

Been watching these for a while since they were tipped in IC on 28/7 as a buy at 151p by ST. Expected the fall when it went ex divi, but didn't expect todays fall. Hopefully just nervous holders...? Anyway took full advantage and bought in at 126.9p. Plenty of upside if new factory performs well and they keep costs tight. Year high is 166p so 30% upside if all goes to plan! Gla Rich

As expected new FD finds additional adjustments to be made on inter company trading.. EBITDA now down to 1 million pounds (was 2 million at start of August for year end results) Positive is Investors will provide additional funds. I was tempted to buy back at 21.2p this morning but held back....Potentially this has good potential to be a good business, but need to make some profit. Suspect price will drift a bit lower before FY results on 29 Sept. May yet buy some at the right price!

MMs having fun today...having pushed price up to 115p over last couple of sessions, then crash it back 7% today despite twice as many buys as sells..

Sold mine. Nice 24% rise in 2 weeks and probably should hold for longer, but new FD starts today and may u cover more "nasties" (kitchen sink as much stuff as possible to give clean start) Will see what next RNS brings. Good potential long term though. Gla Rich
