FinnCap broker forecast increased FinnCap have increased their broker forecast from 500p to 530p!I think there will be some more institutional buys over the next week or two and maybe another 20p gain - fingers crossed!
Preliminary Results Great results and a joy to read.
Berenberg - new joint broker Victoria PLC, (LSE: VCP) the international designers, manufacturers and distributors of innova ve flooring, is pleased to announce the appointment of Berenberg as Joint Broker with immediate effect.No sign of a fresh forecast from them yet, it's still 540p from back in April. Also, looks like all the large trades in the past few day are buys, which is a good sign if the results are imminent as that can mean rumours of good results are out there.Hurry up with those results please Mr Wilding!
Results Anyone know when the yearend results are due?I'm thinking end of this month or early August???I'm hoping that we hear about some more acquistions soon too.Victoria don't do much in the way of hard flooring at the moment so they must be looking at acquiring a fair few when they appointed Jan Debrouwere as the Group Hard Flooring Director 8 weeks ago.Fingers crossed for more good news soon!I'm thinking around £5.40 after the results and £6 by the end of Jan 2018
Acquisition FLOORCOVERINGS group Victoria Plc has acquired Millennium Weavers Europe, a Belgian carpet maker that sells almost exclusively to the British market.It is the eighth deal the Kidderminster based group has completed in the past four years. Terms of the transaction have not been disclosed with the value not significantly high enough to trigger a statement to the stock market.Midmarket supplier Millennium Weavers, whom it described as the European leg of the Alsorayai Group in Saudi Arabia, will continue to operate autonomously with no changes planned for management, employees, customers or suppliers.
Growth Company Investor article VCP recommended again today in Growth Company Investor. Encouragingly, it is actually one of the shares held in the GCI Portfolio - a rare example of a journalist putting his money where his mouth is!

Re: BIG DROP Every morning Yahoo/iPhone keeps reverting back to last Friday's share price and volume. It corrects the price, but not the volume and intra-day high/low each night but then immediately goes back to last Friday the following morning. It has done this every day this week!

Re: Lemmings! I managed to pick a few up at 515. Thank you stops. [link]
Re: Lemmings! Hiya W.FYI I learned yesterday from Mr Market maker that this was a wave of stops (every 10p or so) getting triggered in the market....compounding one on another. So, while the behaviour looked like lemmings (and presumably in some cases was) a lot of it was automatic lemmings. There was strong buying around 520-530 after the initial triggered fall. In for the long haul...
