There was a time when a sale (any sale!) would have half a dozen comments and cheers from investors. Now, it hardly merits comment. I take this as a sign of strength rather than apathy and the simple fact that sales are becoming so common place that they are virtually, literally, unremarkable.

Shouldn't worry guys, this is just the inevitable drop after a day of good news when day traders jumped on and are now taking profits. What will be interesting is how much further it falls from now. I would expect it to be very reluctant to drop much further. The good news just keeps on coming and Larry said a while ago that most of the company's deals come in the final part of the year historically and we've still got three months to go.

This one at least is surging forward! I'm going to buy some more tomorrow. Then it will stop going up. Apologies to all!

It does seem like common sense has prevailed on the sp today and the news has been taken positively. Very extraordinary in my view... unless I'm missing something ridiculously obvious?! The business would appear to be on a firmer footing now as you say. Hopefully we will see continued upside now.

Suspending the divi probably in her best interests of the business long term, but not for the sp today I imagine!

Excellent numbers in the results too. Huge increases in production and sales. The purchases of mistral ahead of release are incredible. Looking forward to the open at 8am!

And probably not the first push back of this policy (?) good for SLP even if it’s bad for the environment…

Definitely a relatively undiscovered gem this. The decline in price seems to have abated and the company continues to do well. Long may it continue.

Interesting points there guys… be interesting to see further details from management about the specs.

Mark your diary folks, the first of many! 14.4MWs per Mistral Array? And the VS3 was 0.2MW. Bring it on!

Agreed Cautiousman. It seems that the drop over summer was, for once, a buying op. I managed to grab a few more at 134p and keep refusing to buy any more as it is still going up and I keep telling myself it will run put of steam soon. But it hasn't yet!

Well I think the market has every reason to like that. With any luck we will look back at the last few months as a massive buying opportunity!

Excellent results! And I would expect a bounce today as this has been in a tight range for a while now. Fingers crossed.

Oh and another new product launch - brilliant!

Hopefully if this deal does come off then it will pull this up out of the doldrums.

Hopefully so. And the downwards pressure on this may not be off. Nice little 7% jump today so we will see.

It’s Emma Powell, and I tend to think that by the time the journalists have spotted a fall in a share price it’s always worth a closer look. As you pointed out, buying their recommendations can be a problem…!

Less than complimentary article in the times today commenting on Persimmon vis a vis other builders. Journalist cites shares trading at a multiple of twelve, less divi than other builders and the need to build up more outlets as reasons for her ‘avoid’ rating. It’s a bit weak on detail specific to PSN focusing on issues affecting the whole sector for three quarters of the article. Page 40 if anyone’s looking.

Says it all really, market makes an almost apologetic partial recovery in response to the panic driven sell off pre results. Up 50p from the 116p low on the 16th. Be interesting to see how much steam is in this rally.

Well done Laura, up 15% by the end of the day on that buy! I would expect some sideways movement in the sp until a new ceo is announced now.

Did anyone manage to nab any at 116p this morning? Wishing I’d bought some then!
