In respect to held shares. please read this article. https://www.sharesmagazine.co.uk/news/shares/what-does-carillions-collapse-mean-for-its-shareholders Sorry to all that have lost out, what a disaster for many.

Data from property website Rightmove showed UK house prices increased in January, though sellers in the capital cut their selling prices. Asking prices climbed 0.7% month-on-month in January, reversing a 2.3% decline a month ago. The indicators of activity suggest that demand remains robust. On year, house prices advanced 1.1%. In London, house prices fell 1.4% on month to GBP600,926. On a yearly basis, prices in the capital dropped 3.5%.

Glad I did not buy carillion as they are now finished and in Liquidation. Sorry for all those who lost out on that one. Terrible news but it was on the cards. I nearly had a few rungs 3 Months ago but lost confidence and pulled out before buying. "Shares in construction and support services firm Carillion were suspended on Monday after it said it has "no choice" but to take steps to enter into compulsory liquidation with immediate effect after unsuccessful bailout talks with stakeholders and the UK government. "This is a very sad day for Carillion, for our colleagues, suppliers and customers that we have been proud to serve over many years. Over recent months huge efforts have been made to restructure Carillion to deliver its sustainable future and the board is very grateful for the huge efforts made by Keith Cochrane, our executive team and many others who have worked tirelessly over this period," said Chairman Philip Green. Very bad for construction as a whole.

Sophie Hi, and by the way, Happy new Year to you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't pay too much against an article that is not worth the merit. TW will prevail for sure. HNY Tom XXX

Morning all, just a quick observation :- Good results I see. Bovis Homes was up 2.9% after stating an intention to hike its full-year dividend. The housebuilder said it delivered 3,645 completions in 2017, down from 3,977 in 2016. The overall average selling price on completions in the year increased by 7% to GBP272,000 from GBP254,900. Full-year profit before tax, one-off and exceptional items is anticipated to be in-line with management expectations, the builder said. Bovis said it intends to recommend a final dividend of 32.5p, up from 30.0p in 2016, bringing its total payout in 2017 to 47.5p, up from 45.0p a year earlier. Reflecting its "strong outlook", the firm said it anticipates increasing this by 20% in 2018, and making a first special dividend payment towards the end of the year. MAybe this is why we had a small uplift ? ATB Tom :-)

Troubles Hi, Totally agree and I wish I had pressed that 50% sell button with 211 and bought back today at 195 ish. Would have made a nice �12K in one swoop, drats. ITV down too today so in the gloom as they say. Oh well ! Cheers Tom :-))

Blimey Live 196.97 GBX Price decrease 3.23 (1.61%) ????????????????

Nige Hi, Yes the LSE are having a bit of a problem with Glitches nowadays and I got a bit of a shock seeing 209 when it was really 200.02 me teeth nearly fell out, ( Joking ) Hope your system at 260 is better that the LSE system, with no glitches. ITV are not doing too well either at 166/167. ATB Tom :-)))

Nige Hi, What a blow !!! I remember yesterday when we were talking about your buy at 208 and not seeing that level again for some time. 198 is more like it. Was not expecting this at all and wish I sold at 211 to buy back today, wow what a swing, unbelievable 13p swing. Lets hope we get back very soon. ATB Tom :-))

Fellow housebuilders Persimmon, Barratt Developments and Berekeley Group Holdings were down 2.3%, 2.1%, and 1.7% respectively.

Nige Hi, You bet !!!!!! ATB Tom :-)

Nige Hi, Well done getting back in at such a great price, good job for sure. ATB Tom :-)

Housebuilder Persimmon was up 1.5% after it said it expects to report profit slightly ahead of market consensus for 2017 as it experienced "healthy" customer demand for new homes. Persimmon said revenue for 2017 is up 9.0% year-on-year at GBP3.42 billion compared to GBP3.14 billion the previous year. Customer demand, Persimmon said, was healthy through the autumn sales season. The value of its forward sales at December 31 was around GBP1.36 billion, 10% ahead of the same day the previous year's GBP1.23 billion. Legal completion volumes are "strongly ahead" at 16,043 new homes compared to 15,171, a rise of 6.0%. In the second half, volumes were up 6.0% on the previous year at 8,249 compared to 7,794. Fellow housebuilders were benefiting from a positive read across, with Barratt Developments up 1.2%, Taylor Wimpey up 1.2%, and Berkeley Group up 1.1%. Sounds OK to me !!

Bit disappointing to this week start, I personally was expecting a rise this morning not a 1% fall ?? Live now 208.90 GBX Price decrease 2.30 (1.09%)

Nige Hi, All sounds good to me, well done with your plan alls well I hope. Slight fall this morning so could be a good time for a wee top up. Hope it does not drop much further though ! I think it will be back up later so get in quick. ATB Tom :-))
