At 5000p I would sell my remaining holding without a second thought. I am generally positive about Unilever and although I recenty sold some shares at 3825, I am still holding the rest as I believe there is potential here. However none of the fundamentals could justify prices above 5000p and I think it is unlikely they can achieve the sales / earnings growth to justify this price in this decade. While I still believe prices in the 4000s are achievable (I posted about 4100 target here last autumn), at 5000p+ I would regard it as a bubble.

So I understand that the 8p option price takes into account the likelihood of final binding approval being granted soon. It has been a long wait though and there is no guarantee it will come very soon... It has to be before the summer though because then the company will need new funding. Maybe the 6p share price reflects this uncertainty...

I have noticed that millions of share options have been issued at 8p. I cannot see the point as the price is stuck around 6p. - those who get the options will not benefit unless the price rises above 8p right?

4157 nice price to buy, looking to buy more in case of future sp weakness to the 4040 area

It is looking dire now after bad results and I cannot see anything stopping it falling below 1 pound. I took the bitter decision to sell off with a loss and invest the money elsewhere. I can see this going lower in the short and medium term. The only hope would be a takeover offer, but I do not like to invest just in hope and speculation.

And much, much lower it goes! So glad I swapped this dog for Vodafone last week!

I topped up at 3217 and the lowest price IMO in the short term would be 3060-3080

So I was proved wrong in my last post, regarding the quick bounce, but I am content with my holding here and can afford to keep it even if the price goes lower. I finished with buying just before the ex-divi. In my opinion the share is still a buy - decent company, increasing dividend, good emerging market exposure and a great hedging tool in case of further pound weakness.

Last chance to buy below 3500 today! Is oversold and I expect a bounce from these levels, dividend also coming soon, goes ex divi on the 27th I think

Hi Imonly60, it was not that bad selling with profit, you can start buying back some cheaper already now that it fell below 3500. I have already bought at 3550 and 3500 and now waiting to buy much cheaper, at around 3440, not sure it will fall that low though. Despite any ups and downs, it is a safe share long term with very diversified revenue.

At least you got your SP increase today :)

Bought some more yesterday and today making ULVR the largest single holding in my portfolio. Yes, it might look expensive to some in terms of P/E, but the quality and strength of the company justify the premium. IMHO this fall is a great opportunity to top up and we can see the 4100 target posted today by JP Morgan Cazenove in the next six months. In case of further pound weakness, a Hillary Clinton win and the FED not increasing US interest rates in their next meeting, we can probably reach 4000 this year.

Unfortunately it is now very unlikely that we will see over 50 in the near future...

Who buys 230 shares at a time? That is really weird...

this is the perfect share for you!

Can see the gaps @52 & 54 be filled in the short to medium term. Share also looks safe for the long term - excellent dividend and lots of cash. The most positive for me is the Directory sales going up as a result of improved stock availability. This is a sign that they work to improve their shortcomings. As for the SP drop today I did not expect it and my explanation is speculation and perhaps that some market participants had higher expectations. Can see this back into the 50s soon and have trust in the CEO.

...and bought some back today at 242. I still think it has lower to go, but that might be a top up opportunity. Despite the concerns (Argos, competition etc.) SBRY is a well managed business that can pay dividends for years to come.

If it goes any lower, I can see FOSUN buying the whole company and bringing in their own management

made small topup already, could be FOSUN or some big fund about to buy at 65

They 've made a big loss already since sp is heading for 65p.
