Member Info for smalltimeplayer

Thanks for the information. I only have a small holding so I think I will take up my RI offer. I know what you mean about the volatility of the sp after RIs...I hold shares in MEC which have suffered badly, and RIs do not seem to have done good things. However I am confident in Segro, especially as a 12-24month investment, and may even top up if there is a drop after the RI. What are other people doing?

Hello, was wondering if someone would mind answering a question for me? If I don't take up the RI offer will my existing shares be consolodated anyway?Thanks

does anyone know why this share has dropped so sharply in the last couple of days? general market sentiment or something else?

I apologise, I missd this out: SEGRO currently envisages that the Proposed Offer will be accompanied by a further issue of new SEGRO shares in order to raise additional capital of up to £250 million in cash. So there will be a RI for exisiting Segro shareholders, details to come when the offer is accepted and the ball is rolling, and I wouldn't like to say what the RI offer will be. Can't say how this will turn out and the RIs haven't done good things for companies SP recently. But as I said, I'm in this for 10-12months and hope to see good things.

Hi Royan, from what I have read their will be 1.75 SGRO shares for each share in Brixton available as an offer to Brixton shareholders. But it is still all relatively prelimenairy so may fall through yet. So you could probably buy shares in Brixton (which has dropped recently following this announcement) as a route to get SGRO shares, which I am hoping will fly after all this is sorted out. Don't know if Segro shareholders will get any options relating to this.

As my name suggests I am just smalltime but I've done a bit of homework...I believe only one executive member of the board is directly linked to Sheffield Uni, and although it does just seem like a good way for these uni's to commercialise their intellectual property, it is also a convienient and seemingly viable way to do so. I think other positivies in this company is the wide range of their portfolio (I like the idea that some of this technology will make a breakthrough somewhere!) and that a lot of new technology has been developed in university research labs for a while now. I also think that the two major shareholders being universities is a good thing as they do not seem to have suffered too badly in the recession and are unlikely to go bust, and that only 10% of the shares are available to your average joe trader like you and i are positives too! Negatives being this could just be someones brainwave to make themselves a lot of money. Some of the developing technologies appear to be slightly behind the times. And I can't really find any other companies to compare them to. I am going to watch this and possibly buy some on monday, hoping for a small dip in sp but may buy at this price anyway. Opinions?

Hello, is there anyone out there with a holding in FIP? I've been watching it for a while and think it has reached its bottom now?and should go up in 6-12months?anyone got any opinions?

excuse my ignorance, but what is cfd's?

I got just under 1000 of these shares awhile ago at 23p and have been watching this share move around but compared to many others stay relatively stable, which I take as a positive. And they are in the process of acquiring their nearest competitor, which again is a positive. However recent RIs have been very bad for SPs and for small time investors (I hold shares in MEC which are currently awful), so it will be hard to say where the SP will settle after the RI. I intend to hold these shares for at least 10 months to see what will happen, and hoping the recessio ends I think this company will fly, they provide a service that a recovering market will thrive upon. I may top up soon. I don't know much so dyor of course.
