I use frequently myself......always busy B&M Bargains, the discount retail chain, stressed that it is committed to its expansion plans to add another 50 stores next year despite concerns about consumer confidence following the EU referendum. The company recently opened its 500th store and had total revenues of more than £1bn in six months for the first time in its history following a 18.9pc jump in total sales. The company's growth has been boosted by a huge roll-out in the south east of the country. However, the discounter's shares have recently been under pressure as analysts have questioned how B&M can deal with the sterling slump, which will mean higher costs for the goods it imports, including toys, garden furniture and decorations. cont....... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/11/15/bm-bullish-on-store-roll-outs-despite-sterling-slump/

Its order book is bulging, the balance sheet is strong, and its liquidity is not in question, even if the shareholder payout now is.

this time? LONDON (Alliance News) - Shares in De La Rue PLC are trading higher on Wednesday, having closed up around 5% on Tuesday on the back of continued speculation about a bid for the company from French digital security company Oberthur Technologies. Shares in the banknote printer were up 5.5% on Wednesday afternoon, one of the best performers in the FTSE 250, after the Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that the company is understood to have attracted the attention of Oberthur and unnamed European private equity houses. Oberthur had previously made a bid for De La Rue in 2011, but walked away from the deal after De La Rue reportedly refused to engage in any talks over a potential takeover. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-2957390/MARKET-REPORT-Rumours-757m-bid-Oberthur-private-equity-group-lift-La-Rue-shares.html

BALFOUR BEATTY WINS ADDITIONAL £78 MILLION RAIL CONTRACT IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc. (BBII) has been awarded a £78 (US $131) million contract by the City of Charlotte, North Carolina to build the track and systems components for the new Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) LYNX Blue Line Extension. This is in addition to the £63 (US $106) million civils contract won in February for the Blue Line Capacity Expansion Project. The Blue Line extends Charlotte's LYNX light rail system 9.3 miles northeast through the North Davidson and University areas, terminating on the UNC Charlotte campus. BBII will be responsible for the construction of the ballasted track, traction power system, overhead catenary system, train control, communications and other systems.

Construction is due to start in July 2014 and should be completed in December 2016. Steve Marshall, Executive Chairman, Balfour Beatty said "BBII has a strong track record of working with our customers on multiple projects. The City of Charlotte Transit system is one such example. We initially won work on the Streetcar Starter project which is due to complete at the end of 2014 and now through these two contracts we have won rail work that requires both our civils and rail expertise. This is a great example of how we can bring together our different disciplines and strengths to benefit the entire company."

For that Riddler...was wondering! You can't beat a good t/o rumour to boost the sp!....unfortunately I sold my before seeing your post!...lol
Britain's queen of cakes Jane Asher is injecting some posh into high street budget store Poundland. The actress, writer and cake-maker has teamed up with the bargain chain to launch a purse-friendly bakeware range. “You’d probably relate me more to a John Lewis or Waitrose, that may be a reason why they’re using someone like me," said Jane, 67. "I read that Duchy Originals are now in Poundland so if it’s good enough for Prince Charles!” "It means a lot to me that my name is trusted," she said. "Over the years people believe that I don’t stick my name on anything I don’t use myself." Although she says she's a longtime fan of the bargain store ("I shop in the Fulham Poundland, but I’m waiting for them to open a Chelsea one now") Jane admits to having early misgivings about teaming up with the high street chain. “My initial feeling was, ‘I’m not sure about this.’ I’ve been into Poundland and bought Christmas decorations but I didn’t really know much about them," she told Express Online. But after meeting the store's bosses, her mind was put at ease. “Poundland are so quick and uncorporate compared to some of the other companies I’ve worked with. I suppose because they have to be lean and mean. "I’ve met so many people now who say they’re brilliant. Maybe I was more over-sensitive than I needed to be. There’s absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. It’s all good quality and does what it should do.” “I think it’s now considered canny and sensible to buy things that will be just as good from Poundland even if you’re very rich." http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/465674/Poundland-s-new-ambassador-Jane-Asher-on-Mary-Berry-Prince-Charles-and-baking
Are quite often wrong. Not sure any other sites have it closing at 381 my broker Barclays certainly don't . Anyway good luck
Another very important piece of advice...do your own research and don't generally believe what people post on these boards and that includes me. Relax, the price will go up and down...down and up....if you believe in the company and think you have made a good investment, don't let daily movements rattle you.
Personally I think poundland is a great store and they are always very busy. It's new on here so it has to find its feet...its range....Nothing goes up or down in a straight line. In future try not to buy near the top, wait there is always generally a pull back...made that mistake many a time myself in the past, being too eager...good luck...and remember no one knows where the sp is going, its all just guesses
Trading thats whats going on! But he cautioned: 'IPOs are traditionally extremely volatile within the first week of shares being made available to the public. It has become common for shares to endure price swings of around 10 per cent in the first week and as such should be treated with caution as opportunistic traders try to jump on any price wave higher.
