changed my mind as I did not like this movement at all technically. Hope I am wrong GLA

To be fair, it is still a falling knife and the SP has broken some support levels so it can technically go even lower. I am still content with my purchase here though and will not be upset even if it goes lower in the short term. The company has no debt, pension deficit etc to drag it down, a UK slowdown could be balanced by international expansion and a change in fashion/shoppers habits can be sorted out by a competent management team that will review the product lines and launch new products or invest in new products/distribution channels (also low debt = easier to invest). In a nutshell, yes, there is still risk here, but it can be mitigated and the company can come good in the long run. Risk/reward ratio points to buy for me. As always DYOR.

Just added this to the ISA, Compelling buy for capital gains + tax free dividends. Main reasons for investing is the absence of debt and the prospects for international expansion. Mostly the low debt. When companies with a lot of debt fall a lot I am hesitant to invest. The low debt here makes it an opportunity rather than a value trap IMO. DYOR and GLA

Up over 3% now, but no RNS

I have already bought PZC with my dividend. GLA!

I suspect they looked at the GSK price on Google which is (again) obviously wrong. Too amateurish if so, just in case will check tomorrow to confirm. Will sleep tight though, I believe everything is OK with GSK :)

I am copy pasting the (wrong for me) info from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/business-43514911 just in case it gets later pulled down Live Reporting By Mary-Ann Russon 20:50 GlaxoSmithKline shares plunge on drug verdict Pharmaceuticals giant GlaxoSmithKline has seen its shares tank after its competitor Teva Pharmaceutical Industries managed to get an appeal court to toss out a ruling preventing it from selling its copy of GSK's Corg heart drug. GSK sued Teva over its generic version of Coreg, which reduces chance of death from congestive heart failure, saying that Teva infringed its patent. GSK won a $235m settlement, however an appeals court has now tossed it out. GSK shares have plunged 12.7% to $1,179.39 on the news. Just yesterday, shares rose 5% after GSK announced it was looking to sell off its nutrition products business to take full control of its joint venture with Novartis, which is responsible for well known over-the-counter drugs Panadol and Nicotinell. GSK faces stiff competition to make a generic alternative to its asthma inhaler, however US regulators have so far delayed approval of the versions made by Hikma Pharmaceuticals and Mylan.

Thank you for the info. It appears totally wrong though!! The info about Teva was released approx 5 hours ago, the ADR in NYSE has been trading during this time, and this is how it just closed 39.38+0.99 (+2.58%) At close: 4:01PM EDT 39.73 +0.35 (0.90%) After hours: 4:16PM EDT

Where did this came from? I cannot find any negative news.

Very low in my opinion. I think it is just a rumour.

guaranteed capital loss

I have been many times in and out of this share successfully. Last time I sold at around 65. This time however most investors were taken by surprise. I was also expecting them to acquire the Pfizer assets and then the price to drop substantially and load some shares at around 49. Thankfully I decided to buy a good tranche 'prematurely' at 56 the other day, as I thought the price had dropped way too far when it touched the 55s and the Pfizer acquisition was starting to be priced in. The plan was still to wait and buy more during further drops. After todays news though, I cannot see further drops coming soon and that seems to be a short term 'bottom'. Of course as bluefin says that can prove wrong and also markets are in a 'weird' mood nowadays... I am happy with the shares I have here, will keep them to get the dividend (ex divi 12/04 for 97.7p.) and then we will see what happens after the ex-divi. GLA

now resembles the company logo

The 'stop complaining' was a note to myself :)

VOD is my largest single holding because it represents all of the Telecoms, Utilities & Networks sectors. I own no other share related to those sectors. Look at the 1 year charts of BT.A, TALK, NG., SSE, CNA, SVT, UU., PNN. Then look at the VOD 1 year chart and compare. Then stop complaining about VOD SP :) Good night all!

This is the start of the recovery

"at a better or worse time" - char, you couldn't have said it any better! Timing with Vodafone is really bizarre, at the moment you think you might have got it right, something unexpected happens to the other direction.

but I cannot find an RNS, what's up?

cheeky top up @2.125 for me! Everyone will be reinvesting their divis tomorrow and we hopefully go up! GLA!
