Nothing much important happens until Springtime re Builders shares. Warmer weather brings house buyers out of their nests... Then it gets EXCITING again.

Won't be surprised if this passes £8 next spring. But wouldn't £10 be nicer? lol

Off down to the boat yard to see what all these "extras" are about. New guy. Haven't used him before. He won't see coming... But he'll get to know me real quick.

Don't know where you hail from Porsche but you do like to knock the UK in your little non funny way. All your posts on LSE appear to be plagiarized and cobbled together and are frankly boring in a narcissistic way. Anyway, your little de-ramping games are see-through on here, buddy. x

Now is the time to buy anyway. Most SPs start coming down this time of year, in the run down to Xmas. Check history. Hard to say if these have bottomed out yet.

You've missed the boat, buddy. It was 28.09.

Already booked the yacht in for a complete overhaul - which some of the divi money will pay for - and given the crew a little holiday down on the farm picking last of apples for cider making. Remainder of divi will go to buy more bdev shares.

Get your hands in to your pockets, boys and girls...

'First trowel of muck' coming soon! lol

...and Buy.

Brown site building will 'explode' soon in major cities. And continue to trend for the next twenty years or more. That means Barratt as a top builder will receive a large portion of the contractual pie. And Michael Gove I'm sure will be there to lay the first trowel of muck... with wee Sunak labouring for him with his tooth-paste smile!

There is an ancient practice in trading - little boys will sell for a tiny profit, so allowing Big Boys to buy cheaply. This practice is set in stone. TG.

Is plenty ever enough? But, still, adhere to the old wellandtried adage: never invest more than you can afford to lose (although with bdev it's only ever been a 'paper loss' with me, from which I've eventually recovered in handsome profit, gathering very good dividends of support en route!

Whilst still Holding, now it's time to proceed in an upword projectery manner, I believe.

GLA - not that you'll need it.

Add a pinch of salt to them.

Hold AND Buy.

You old timers on here have probably heard this morality tale before... Bought my first shares ever a year before the credit crunch: bdev @ a quid a pop... Then they went down to 50p. In 2009 they were up to £1.60. Sold the buggers (to my detriment; mind you it was only a couple of k). But since then bdev has served me well. Very well. I'm holding some shares that were bought at £8 and others on a downward scale. Bit of a paper loss... But last two dividends were very nice and we should except another one.

It'll come back. In my portfolio Barrett is still top dog. Grrrrrrrrrr...

GLA - not that you'll need it.

Maybe Mark 2 will be less creaky. Still can't beat bricks and mortar, though - so, just got to wait until Barratt's big apprenticeship of brickies and plasterers serve their time, I guess, and things go back to status quo!

Got a bit of a longer memory than a lot of you on here... In the mid 70s Barratt started building some sites using timber frames. I lived in one of these houses. Now keep in mind that wood contracts and acts on temperature and weather conditions... I'm a pretty heavy sleeper, takes a lot to wake me - well, it did, until I moved into that house. Winter, spring, summer and fall all the houses on that small site quaked like an armada of old sailing ships in a storm. In the end I moved to dry land...

Agree. And this is still way under valued. Still got to the 6th to buy for the dividend.

Haven't been on here for a while ( concentrating on new film script and book. Tough at the top). But, to reiterate: Barratt has always been pro-active in growing its pool of home-grown apprentices. As the old guys retire, young, well-trained-up dudes will step into their shoes. Tradesmen from EU countries can still come here, and earn good dosh. Their motivation for coming to the UK has always been the top money; not sentiment. The Pole are/were bril workers. Collectively, they sent a fortune back to their country (+ UK family allowance) and , in doing so, raised the Polish economy. Last two years I bought these shares as they went down from around £8. The fundamentals of this company are solid. And I've got my sell price set at... £8. May take a little while, I know - but better than money in the bank, in my opinion. And what about that last divi, eh? GLA.

This company has a solid apprenticeship base. And have been building on it for years. So they do not depend on foreign workers as other big builders do. So, newbies, when you check out Barratt's 'fundamentals' ... think on that. GLA

Jim888.
Subliminal sentiment, perhaps. Coming from the region of the gut.
Puffing weather here where I am. So the outboard is in on-and-off use atm. With the share price down and the oil price rising... a little tranquil storm would not go amiss - yes, I know it's a paradoxical oxymoron... but I'm in that sort of mood. Ah - good! Index finger almost bent back... Captain and crew running on to the deck (with cards still in hand) in fine excitement! Sails fluttering madly as they rise...
Nipping down below to release the handbrake or what-ever it's called - or maybe I should seek the Captain's advise first - after all, 's what I pay him for...

C'mon Ringworm, a bit of cardboard and paper blowing around in a mini storm is not 'Pollution'? I put carboard and paper in my compost bin. It breaks down eventually and adds nutrients. Just some greedy, misinformed jocks out to fleece Mr Barratt.
(My people come from 'Jockland'. And I've got a 'Jock' name - so don't come after me for spoils, buddy! Or I'll get me Glass gee cousins onta ye. Lol )
