I sold out at 153.5 the other dayto go to shell ( so not really that good a move) but in again now at 147.7, I’m still optimistic of a sentiment change, the drop here was totally a downward readjustments of the markets , emg will be up to the 153 shortly.
I do sympathise for longer term holders locked in at a higher price, but very good dividend here.

You’ll be kicking yourself when this is 152 with the Christmas rally.
You’ve done well,buying at 140 with 5% rise in just a few weeks.
This is a great share to trade, especially as no stamp duty to pay on these.
My last purchase was at 148 so waiting for around 155. Good luck

I agree dividend is modest for a high turnover business but the company’s target for new shops needs a not insignificant investment. Perhaps a small increase in the return to investors could be a compromise, but let’s not forget that there is huge “potential” growth here as saturation is a long way off yet. It would be nice if we chugged along at these levels until the even better than “ better than expected” results are reported after the new year when Greggs sales are at their yearly highest. Finger rolls crossed.

I bet he’s sick, if he had waited a week he’d have had about £60k extra. !
Disappointed at share price after the results, strange that the first early morning response was a 50p rise, but confident still here with these.
I’m heavily in here so won’t be investing more but very very very tempted to. Good luck pie eaters and those salad eaters on the sidelines.

Well oversold, already £9 buy ratings set by the sharks.
Personally I think it will take a lot of good news to get it there, but £7.50/ £7.75 easily achievable in the very short term.

Looks like we’ve passed the 2060 now, I’m sure results will be as good as in the past . The only thing causing a pause in the sp after the last results was the remark about increased costs . These are very important but so is the room for increases in the selling price of items. The price of items in the shops are so well priced that a small, almost insignificant increase in the sale price would have a huge increase in sales and profit figures.
Fingers crossed.

With ex div this week,for special dividend of around 8p in total I’m a bit surprised this isn’t nearer 160 than 150 but not overly concerned. As others have stated a nice steady share and over the last few months, giving a reliable income , increase in capital would have been a bonus . Worry is holders will leave after ex div date and drop could be overdone, but I’ll still hold until £1.60

This has been bouncing between 1980 and 2060 for a few weeks now, hopefully breaking out now, with the 2000th shop up and running now, as someone kindly pronounced.
I’m not sure now the loss of Tgc with affect the margins if any, I know that a few airports have Greggs in them and package holiday customers often fill up in these before boarding “iffy plane food” carriers. I’m also not sure how the reduction in these travellers and holiday makers will change the already tight margins business’ have now. There are a lot of planes in the short term anyways that won’t be taking off and flying hungry punters.
Just a thought.
I’m in for the medium term anyways, as the north of England is chocca block with Greggs and mostly full at peak times, when I pass anyways and steady trade throughout the day. I have have friends work in the factories and they attest to the fact that they are working full tilt most of the things me( although I do concede that turnover does not always convert to profit) but they and I are convinced that this will be around £25 by winter, which is close at hand, and possibly £30 by the end of winter.
Good look all.

There were exceedingly short odds on the brexit vote being yes, and trump winning. Don’t confuse the odds with the chance s of something happening.
I’m long.

Was it this or nothing then, was there a deadline date.?
I suppose I’ve only got until 8am to see.
This was the first and last venture into the even riskier and even more tawdry end of the share market.
I’ll stick to only ftse 100 and 250 from now on.
Good look all here, that’s my weekend away I was hoping to get from this scuppered then.
O

You re incorrect loads of FTSE shares NOT subject to stamp duty , WPP being one of them, so great to intravday trade.
It might be worth you checking out the rules determining which shares are not subject to the dreaded stamp duty.
I’m out now, hopefully back in tomorrow .

That could be a reason for the attractiveness a small swing can yield a good profit without incurring that 0.5% tax.
WPP is another very similar.

I’m just pleased Amazon haven’t gone after the teenage, young women’s clothes market yet !!!

This is a share that can fluctuate within a £1.25 range, on a very unordinaty day, unless you bought at the top of the days range. I’ve made reasonable amounts on asos day trading ( selling out thinking I sold too early and cursing myself) , only to see it fall 80/90p and I heave a huge sigh of relief, I’m hoping that along with next and others that asos are well placed both in the short term and longer timescale to increase in value.
Although the character of the buyers are not the most loyal, whilst they are buying they buy a lot. Asos could easily be £33 by Friday with no news. It does have a trend, though past history no pointer to future, of dropping 3% to rise 4% the next morning ending up less than yesterday’s close. I’m a definate hold and a tentative buy here.

I know past isn’t always indicator of future but man funds often benefit from a bit of volotility and hence some not insignificant share price rises.
Fingers crossed

I Just hope this drop is the market makers walking this down so they and their cronies can get into just before the £1 rise, and subsequent fall again, they they can buy, sell on the rise and leave us longer term holders holding the baby.

A month until make or break time. Early December details of possible restructuring and results update, down to £7 or up to £10 , you takes your choice.
I’m in either way as hav £10 average, having taken a couple of dividends but closing st a loss isn’t an option.
It was interesting Sorell talking about an old bid for wpp a couple of years back from Buffet.

Wrong board sorry

Cheeky little 22p next week due next week, so sorrels new venture had little effect for both parties today them.
