Troubles hi, I was going to buy some when they were down to 23 like yesterday but did not have any spare as topped up here and ITV could have kicked myself when I looked at their SP today at 33.66, oh well !! Live and learn. BOL Tom :-))

Just a note :- You do not get such an opportunity to top up as these prices, so IMO get in before its regretted.

Rio Hi, Its great to here some good news for a change. Cheers Tom :-)

Midcap housebuilder Redrow was the best performer in the FTSE 25, up 4.3% after it reported both revenue and profit rose in the six months to the end of December, and accordingly hiked its interim dividend. Revenue rose 20% to GBP890 million, while pretax profit rose 26% to GBP176 million. The company raised its interim dividend to 9 pence, from 6p last year. The number of completions in the period rose 14% to 2,811, with an order book totalling GBP1.05 billion. "Given the strength of both our order book and land holdings, together with the robust sales market, our growth strategy remains on track. This gives me every confidence it will be another year of significant progress for Redrow," said Chairman Steve Morgan. Large-cap housebuilders were benefiting from a positive read-across, with Barratt Developments up 1.2% and Taylor Wimpey up 1.1%. Midcap peers Galliford Try and Bovis Homes were up 2.0% and 1.7%, respectively.

Johnson Hi, I do apologise as I misread Davies post I thought that he was thinking of selling as I did not see the buy in his sentence I took it as "I got offered a price for TW of 179.2, but didn't press the trigger." I should have read it rather than glancing at the content, sorry for any confusion. A buy at 179.22 would have worked out great. Cheers Tom :-))

Solley Hi, Wishful thinking !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. Great come back, live now 162.10 even TW recovered too now 186 thank heavens. Cheers and a happier ! Tom :-))))

Davie Hi, Bet your glad you didn't press the trigger !! Cheers Tom :-))

Thank heavens for the come back, live now 185.85 GBX Price decrease 1.40 (0.75%)

Solley Hi, ITV fighting back well. TW down big time 183+ Was not expecting this at all. Lets see what happens when DOW opens ? ATB Tom :-)

Wigs Hi, Thanks for your input !!!! Lets hope it settles soon. ATB Tom :-)

Johnson Hi, Lets just hope it holds / rises ASAP. ATB Tom :-)

Rio Hi, Yes agree and thanks for your input. I am not all that worried as we have been here before as you know. Only time will tell and I am sure we will recover soon. IMO this is a great opportunity for a top up. Cheers & ATB Tom :-))

They say when the DOW opens later we may see another 1% fall so I would suspect we will see a further small fall this afternoon. I think this is a correction not a collapse so IMO we will see a come back sooner rather than later. Well lets hope so.

All shares have been drastically hit so I for one am not going to make a mistake in selling any shares. I have seen this before and made that mistake. We all know shares can rise and fall, must admit I did not see this one coming but there you go. Be very careful with your decisions to hold or sell. As Davie said earlier he was offered 179.20 for his shares, they are now 183.35. Some will think that tomorrow will be worse and sell, that could be the mistake. Under these circumstances a hold may be the key but I do not know for sure so this is purely my opinion but its a hold for me. All comments welcomed to see what others think !!!!! Cheers Tom :-)

Troubles Hi, That's it for the day just cant look anymore so out for a quick walk down to the Village pub and a nice Log fire. At least the Sun has come out. LOL. ATB Tom ;-)

Bad day today, all markets taking a real thrashing.

Troubles Hi, "Ditto" Its freezing here too, I could not see my car this morning as it was covered in frost. They say this week is going to be the coldest for years. Gotta get a nice hot cup of Coffee. ATB Tom :-)

Ice Hi, Sorry to hear you have been unwell and in Hospital. Hope very much for your speedy recovery. Keep well and tell us when you are on your way Home, also keep warm as its freezing outside and lots of colds and flu going around. Kind regards Tom :-)
