Re: Mystery Buyers Pushing RM Stock Higher I don't pay much attention to RM and it was good to see how much the sp has appreciated over the last few months. Perhaps a bit toppy now? Opinions?F
Mystery Buyers Pushing RM Stock Higher Got a few predictions right end of December I predicted RM would reach £5 and get to £6 when the agenda for Growth was finally agreed Called a Looney for that one). Got Rico Back correct in February that he will take over as CEO at Royal Mail from GLS.Here another one FEDEX could be making a bid for GLS?
Long Live the King! Moya retires and she gets all the Applause , but did she do a brilliant job or just average. Royal Mail UK. She manged to sort out the Pension issue. Stability with Union for another 3 years and agreement which will bring in technology use providing a opportunity for more cut-back savings. Probably right person at the right time to negotiate a militant Union at the time of Privatisation, but overall we seen very little growth from the UK operations most of the profit increase has come from reduction of Staff.From nowhere to today GLS parcel company now provide over 30% of Profits for Royal Mail so if it wasn't for this growing operation today's Share wouldn't be hitting new high's. Rico Back excellent contribution to Royal Mail has been excellent and now he takes over in June. It clearly shows the direction RM want to go as they put less importance on Mail or more on the growth of Packets and ParcelsAs they would say in accession of a new monarch "The Queen is dead!! Long Live the King!"

Re: BARCLAYS RAISES ROYAL MAIL PRICE TAR... We regard the recent broad set of agreements between the two parties as a landmark, Barclays saidThe recent agreement between Royal Mail PLC (LON:RMG) and the CWU union over pensions, has removed a toxic element from the stock, in Barclays' view.The bank has kept its rating at 'overweight' and raised its forecasts following the recent agreement and the parcels and letters delivery giant's February 1 trading update.We regard the recent broad set of agreements between the two parties as a landmark, Barclays said.To have closed, with a small surplus, one of the larger defined benefit pension schemes in the UK; to have replaced it with an affordable defined contribution scheme (possibly collective subject to government negotiation); and to have agreed on a pay deal to April 2020, without industrial action, is a remarkable and forward thinking effort by all involved, in our view, the bank said.The bank cautions that it will still be necessary to see how the moves to a shorter working week and associated changes in working practices develop, but there is now a strong platform, in its view.
Re: BARCLAYS RAISES ROYAL MAIL PRICE TARGET ... Bought another 1000 on the drop @539.4 last week ,only intended as a short term play. So thank you very much Barclays, sold those and a few extra @567.6Still holding plenty.

Re: Potential is Great Yes, I take into account broker stances as well as targets by all brokers on ones I own. I have successfully in the past used these levels to decease or sell when a target is reached. Example of one recently would be XLM which I sold over 2.21 when the highest broker target at the time was 2.20. There must be a fair amount of other followers as sellers in XLM showed their faces and even before the correction had brought the price back down close to 20%I have been surprised at the levels reached by RMG in recent days and agree would put it down to relief of the unions and then the tracking funds building back up their weightings ahead of FTSE inclusion. We are not far away from Goldmans 5.60 and maybe we see a close return to the highs of 5.80 - 6.00 range which may then see profit taking or start just before then.atb
Re: Potential is Great When companies join the Ftse 100 Tackers, Investment Companies and Fund Managers buy into the company, Saying that we dealing some intelligent people so a lot of them could have already bought into the company positioning themselves before the announcement so the effect on the share price might be minimal.As a betting man still believe there is still a lot of good News Story to come which will help to push the share price forward.With Moya Green she will view her job completed. Pensions, Share price & a new way forward with ticks by all of them. We could see Rico Back GLS double digit man taking over the top position for a couple of years before a younger man taking over.
