at 80p per share, with no fluctuation.
it seems prety unlikely.

Dressingtables have moved into China in a big way. They’ve bought out TDG, and they’re already big within the tescos system. It would not surprise me at all if the tail ended up wagging the dog here… They might even make a hostile move on tesco itself :open_mouth: should it’s share price drop low enough, and some of their new Chinese chums supply the finance required!

Shame they’re yet another firm looking to employ primates rather than the more astute drivers with higher renumeration expectations… :grimacing: :grimacing:

If wincantons are about to fall over, then the share price will go overnight.

There seems to be a lot of people that think a share price of a firm going down the tubes trades at every single price between its current level and zero.

PollyPeck was quoted at 108p and went to zero in one hit from there. No one was saved - among ordinary investors that is. Only the big firms got out, and they’d sold at all the prices down to 108p from a lot higher over the previous weeks before the axe fell on suspension day…

Never let sentiment get in the way of common sense. Wincanton are a sell. Nobbys are a long term buy. :sunglasses:

Just saw a Nobby Dingledangle and a Wincanton parked in same layby on A14 and while there a Stobbie went past so it must all be true :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
