5 quid in my Xmas stocking! Put in on your list! Peeps, stop playing with yourselves! Lol

Nothing surprises me here - this sp now is mostly govern by how long peeps can keep their hands in their pockets! It could go as you say - or go the other way. Nothing would surprise me. End of the day, you've just got to play it as you see it. Call it my golden rule, if you like! Lol

Profit taking? Might be more of it on run up to Xmas. Gotta get the money from somewhere to buy all the prezies for the missus, the kids and the mistress! lol

Yeah, I was a bit wrong there but according to HL, buyers are back. Should start to go up again but DYOR. Feckin Christmas decorations in peeps windows already! Jeez...

Hi yourself, Chris. Yeah, that sounds about right. Sp here doesn't seem to retrace as much. I haven't looked yet, but I don't think the sell-offs are as high. Back to twittering...

Mick's holed up in my old caravan again. Wife's left him. Kids have gone off the rails. His brokers has sent round the bailiffs. If he tells you anything else... well, just pat him on the head and give him a few bob towards his rent which will only go on cheap, strong supermarket lager - so maybe you should just keep the money in your pocket. Sorry, you can't feel too sorry for him - not after what he said on this board. Don't even know why I let him kip at the caravan - haven't seen a penny in rent for months... Too kind for my own good - must be an alternative motive there some where, on my part...

by Xmas? It's gotta be going that way, surely. That capital payment sounds a BONUS. Wouldn't be in a lump sum, I shouldn't think. Will someone look into for me (Chris?), I'm much too busy expanding my twitter account. I wanna try and get up to five followers by the New Year! Lol.

Well, the "put up, shut up" deadline has gone. 5pm wasn't it? £2bn all-share takeover turned down. Indecisive bod and no CEO in sight - would you take on the job (unless you had a watertight contract that if the ship sank, you would float?) I can see - maybe in six months - Balfour going to Carillon, begging. Or a "leg-over" before then. No, I'm staying well away from this one. I feel sorry for the workers - the guys at the coal face.

Yes everything you say makes sense and is quite valid - if you are a holder. But to an outsider, gazing in the shop window... not a lot to offer.

But don't regret it. Made up loss plus profit on another infrastructure stock. So can't grumble. Would love to get back in here... but will wait this time.... Just have a feeling it is too soon to dip back in.

goes down sub 180, I will buy. Until then its a gambol. I have made a fair bit on this stock over the years. Shame to see it "rudderless".

said today, 'I think the japanese stock market will deliver attractive returns over the medium term. It's time to hold your nerve.' Nice big late buy today...

a few months ago and then sp went down and down and I thought I'd bought a turkey. Sold today for a nice 12% profit. Now got to look around for another nice cheap stock with good fundimentals. Hurry up with my Money Week mag, Mr postman!

will drop now to a price that will attract buyers. I shan't look at them again until early next year. Ps. Money Week doesn't always get it right. Two years ago, they said don't buy housing! They always boast when they get it right, but never a dicky when they get it wrong. Merry Xmas!

Somebody's been sitting on their hands. I have bought and sold these shares several times during the last three years and made a bundle - with Rio, you need to press the sell button now and again!

Barratts stopped building timber framed houses a couple of decades ago - because it nearly sank the company. Bricks and mortar only now. The big bad wolf doesn't hang around barratts' houses anymore. Barratts have won many housing awards since... Read Fattyman below - quite enlightening.

One Ordinary buy trade of 550,000 Esure shares (£1,403m). Wouldn't call it 'ordinary', would you!?

There is indeed a Special and Interim ex-dividend date: 04 September; also - according to Hargreaves & Landsdown - there is a Special and Interim ex-divident date: 18 September. One pays out 18 Oct and the other on the 17th Oct. Look it up, if you doubt me. Esure has made mistakes about dividend dates before which they later corrected.

You will be able to see all ex-div/payment dates on Hargreaves & Landsdown web site. Enter Esur in search box then click under Company Information then look under Important dates. There's more than one div payment to come this year.

"Just to add, the ex-divi date isnt the 18th Sept. I believe its earlier in Sept. will check." Bit of an oxymoron statement, that.... I think you will find the 18th is correct.
