Looks like my cheeky trade backfired , not to distraught just patience now and waiting for rise cak to around the 220 mark.

Got my buy, let’s see how man gets on compared to ftse.

With no stamp duty this can be a great share to trade over a day or two, as long as your plans don’t tie you in.

I’ll try and get in this week at 209 and out at around 214 ( I’m not greedy) also got a longer holding bought at around 220 which is my divi income set in isa.

I’ve only a modest interest here, recently entering at 125.

Am I taking the consensus is that any speculation ( however likely/ unlikely) of a takeover bid is actually already priced in anyways, or is it just board banter to animate the board until market optimism returns to Bt share price?

They will get it 5.6p cheaper if they wait a week or 2

I’m guessing these are part of the 150 new, or relocated or redesigned shop, announced last month. Either way I like the way that, much like the previous board members in that they announce something and things happen very quickly indeed.

Shops still busy up north, with a slightly more positive outlook in the media( unless it’s a trap) I would expect the return to £30 not to far away

Im stuck for long run now. Which ever way it goes.

Yep . I agree . Im well invested here. ( at a medium loss whendivis ate taken into account )
But all this “ great time to top up “ talk can easily lead to an over commitment and hence a long tie in until recovery of losses are made, if ever in some cases.
Lgen in my opinion is a good long term share, but i wont be “topping up “ , im an optomistic holder for now. Were all in for gains but sometimes greed can take over reason, i dont want to put too many eggs in one basket even if i think £3 might be reached by next year.
I bet the ones that jumped in after the 8% fall thought they were getting a bargain, before todays fall.
Good luck to all lgen holders.

I was a medium term stagecoach holder that cashed out there before the merger, for only a tiny profit.
Sat around watching nex and bought in after the big drop at around the 160 mark . Its frightening to see this where it is now. I thought the economies of scale strategy of the merger was to use the both firms’ depos available then utilise the most efficient of those , not outsource the maintenance work .
Im hoping long term holders can throw me some optimism.

Prices up again but shops and seating areas are still very busy up here in the north.
Special dividends or investment in expanding business would be better for Greggs in my opinion than share buy backs. Buy backs ate often used to “prop up “ the share price, which is not need here. If and when some form of normality has returned, ( and Greggs has weathered this storm )imagine the even better position it would be in.

Come on PK you cant leave it like that?

I’m as flummoxed as everyone here.

This company is one of a the few worldwide leaders in their field. I’ve scoured the corporate site and see no factors holding Victrex back from heading towards it’s recent £25 area last year . Although I also no obvious cause for the fall from the £30 area either. Great well ran company with small dividend.

Although it’s obvious the sell off in summer was overdone , the 50% rise since October is very impressive. Another 50 % rise would take Greggs back to where us was before new senior staff took over. We are heading toward the £40 mark when share division would happen making share price more attractive to buyers . I think once £40 is reached there will be a 2 for 1 split, making £20 a share

If suitors do have their eyes on WPP as a takeover target they better do it now as the buyers premium, if it comes, could take the price well higher than last year £12. All uneducated speculation of course.
Nice to see across the board positivity, long may it continue.

Past history ( although never a given indicator of future events) shows that with good results, of which I would be very surprised if they are not, the markets early response is as expected and a rise occurs but I think many expect the small spike and sell on it.
I know several production managers there and they told me throughout the Ukraine events strenuous efforts have to made to find alternative sources of raw ingredients needed to maintain production with as small a retail price increase as possible. Fortunately for Greggs, all retails prices have increased among it’s competition which has helped to maintain their market share. Good luck

I certainly hope so.
Can’t believe was well over £30 last year, even with supply issues there has got to be upward movement from here. Shops always fullish or at least steady foot fall in my area, so here’s hoping.

Most holders here would agree that even with the higher costs involved in extraction that gold be a safe haven for a very long time .

They may well help with the energy shortfall , but I’d be gobsmacked if there were significant reductions to the normal household charges, they will be kept as high as they can be , more as long as they can be. Hope I’m wrong and you are correct of course.
