You are off the scale of nuts. Investing by gender is the surest way to go bust. No investor cares about the gender of the directors or staff. As long as they make money. If fund managers thought that women were better investors, no man would be employed in the city. No one has ever cared about the gender of an employee or director. It is all down to how much money they can make for the shareholders. GSK is run by a woman who is a walking disaster. Interserve is run by a woman who is doing a fantastic job with a crap hand. BLT is run by men and are doing a great job at the moment. Although it could be argued Rio is doing better.
LLucan (Lord Lucan I presume). If you would be kind enough to climb down from Shergar you would see that BLT has Anita Frew, Carolyn, Hewson and Baroness Shriki Vadera on their Board and have pledged that it wants half its workforce to be women by 2025. Time enough for you to disappear again !
Theobald - visionary post ... ... you should be an asset manager - though not a very good one
I wonder if you replace the quote character with the html value eg: Adding " in the normal way Adding " using /" Bhp is flying..how high can it go
Why does this site insist on inserting 8 spurious characters to replace one apostrophe? Usually they get replaced by pound signs or similar. Any one know how I can make this irritation go away? TIA
And of course, Theresa May, who is doing a bang up job for (UK) plc. It�s a nice thought but not one I will be making any investment decisions on any time soon.
Reply to crazy post. You are nuts and will go bankrupt. BLT has a men in charge, not that it matters. Ken MacKenzie (Chairman) Andrew Mackenzie (CEO). GSK has fallen by 20% since they appointed a female. Not that this matters since in my opinion GSK have gone off in the wrong direction. Couple this with Anglo American which was nearly bankrupted by Cynthia Carroll, a female. Investing in companies by gender is the dumbest thing a feminist has come up with.
My NY resolution in light of the global media attention as a consequence of the male domination/bullying in Hollywood, Westminster etc and the gender pay gap is only to invest in Companies GSK, BLT etc who have high profile female leaders/Directors and you know what so far there is sense and reward in this approach and investment strategy. I hope others out there will follow suit and join in and help to create a future society we can all be proud of.
Bhp nicely up today.. seems to be driven my a optimistic outlook on commodities into 2018 Any developments in the Minas Gerais flood payouts?

From telegraph...."The rise of electric vehicles is driving BHP Billiton to invest heavily in nickel. The world’s biggest mining house had planned to end its Nickel West mine operations in Western Australia, but is now looking to expand them. It expects demand for nickel for electric car batteries to account for 90pc of its output within five or six years, replacing traditional markets, such as stainless steel makers. Last year, BHP produced 85,000 tons of nickel, just under 5pc of world supply."
On an Elliott holdings rns? Do you reckon they've sold a few on the spike yesterday? If so, and I'm by no means saying they have,it would really need looking into.
Only a 4% holding, for a company the shear size of blt, is still a fair wad of cash. Agree though, a 6% rise is extreme when the fundamentals haven't changed.
I agree with Beatroot. How can a simple letter from a third party, which has only a 4% shareholding, result in a 6% rise in the SP?
Market manipulation? So, a major shareholder releases a letter that has the effect of upping the sp by 6%, then blt say it's not viable. Stinks if you ask me.
What do the panel think of Elliott Value unlock plan and claim it could boost value circa 50%?
Is anybody there? Q. Do we have a union meeting scheduled or revised terms issued?
Ex div date 9th March.
Ever since the results, it has been a downward spiral, can't understand it, we should be going up. Ok, it's a miner wide thing but even so.....
a look at #ARS top management took his last company Oxiana from a 3 million dollar company to a 6 BILLION dollar company . All the numbers point north.
Now, Ist world countries especially China will import as much precious metals as possible to build up their inventorys, especially uranium. Seems Trump favors nuclear energy, huge internal infrastructure spending combined with increasing growing millions of US jobs which will in turn create unprecedented growth ! Once BHP has dealt with Samarco, don't be surprised if the share price heads towards £20 a share. GLA - ATB
China's leaders' obsession with remaining in power is boosting investment in cripplingly bloated sectors, and this is pulling in speculative cash into commodities. None of this is sound. Financializaion's character is to create bubbles, be it in bond, stocks, commodities, property, or whatever. It only a matter of when the music stops. For now, it's playing.
Any information on this? I hope dividends go back to as they were pre 2016.
choked on my cornflakes!😄
