Saw the RNS for SFOR this morning and expected a return to the £4 mark. Decided to get in as early as poss to add to top up what I already hold in them.
HL took an age to get an offer but jumped in with both feet, just before it started to fall back again....
It will get to £4 and probably back to £5 or more (it was over £8 a while back), but the quick profit this morning didn't happen.
Sold out taking profit on the slowly declining TED (should have let go at £1.50 not the £1.40 I took), so we can expect an offer for that company shortly....

t excuse to cover the financial situation thats killed his bid.Housebuilders:
I've held Persimmon & Bellway for quite some time and both were nicely in the blue/green but I've taken my eye off the ball and of late they've both turned red and I note consumer confidence is hitting sales. PSN in particular still give a good divi but should I keep holding or is the dip likely to continue I wonder.

I also Persimmon and Berkeley. Persimmon paid a good dividend, not so sure about Berkeley. There’s still not much sign of property prices falling though as you say sales have slowed. I’ll hang on for now.I've held Persimmon & Bellway for quite some time and both were nicely in the blue/green but I've taken my eye off the ball and of late they've both turned red and I note consumer confidence is hitting sales.

Did hold TW a while back when in the 155 - 165 range, got out for reasons unknown now but glad i did as now at 128. Another good divi payer though and that may be the way forward in these inflationary times. Very small spread I note, so a possible trading option??Taylor Wimpey tipped in today’s Telegraph Questor column.

Wimps are one of the bigger developers compared to Berkley who TBH I haven't seen any of their development although also TBH, I worked mainly in the NE & Yorkshire when in that line of business. (Now retired).
Persimmon always had one of the greatest landbanks, carried forward from the Billy Leech days when they would buy up a farm in the NE but let the farmer continue on the land until such times as they wanted it. BWY too had a similar but smaller landbank.
PSN now cover the whole country I think and have excellent buying power to pick up large traches of land both brownfield & greenfield. TW do similar big buys.

Interested to know people's thoughts on this as the deadline is tomorrow. Had a much higher target that £1.05 when I purchased but from what I can tell, if enough people accept I will loose any shares either way? (It's a lot more than £122 as well!

) It brings back bitter memories of Sirius Minerals which was liquidated for me at a price I wasn't willing to accept.
Anyone going shopping today? I had sold out a few yank stocks that i broke even on from the latest mini rise * annoyed i hadnt just made a bit of profit but not losing is as good as a win right now. Gives me about 10% free funds. Might add to Vale if it goes back to $15 something as a sold a little lately to take some profits though i don't normally trade my div stocks.
Pepsi as well nearly 10% off high as well as reallty income. Or wait a bit longer... who really knows.
