So if StevieWonder77 is, according to you a, "moron" for being down only 50 per cent here... What do you call PE? He's down 3000 plus per cent! C.mon, do tell us, it will be good to know! Pretty Please!! What is the VALUEHUNTER-2015 name for a person who is more than 60 times worse than a moron? By the way... does HE know you call him whatever the name is you call people who are down by thousands of per cent?

""I admire your optimism that MH has the power to get the SFO to end their inquiry."" I don't know if I have expressed any optimism, perhaps you mean somebody else? I'm just demonstrating his usefulness to WTG while the investigation(s) are ongoing. "Return value to shareholders...." The old saying is action speaks louder than words. In the case of WTG the correct phrase would start "Inaction....." The BoD have underperformed on an epic scale recently, IMO, it has become known by the euphemism, "Quietly getting on with the job". I am not sure they have the ability to know how to "press for progress". I know my comments upset certain "dyed-in-the-wool" enthusiasts(?) for this company but if they were in at the same price I am they would be a sight less casual. "Optimism..." HA!

It isn't his legal knowledge that makes him valuable to WTG at this time, although of course it isn't exactly a disadvantage. You are aware of this, aren't you? ""Howard gained quick promotion, becoming Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Trade and Industry in 1985 with responsibility for regulating the financial dealings of the City of London."" He will still have many contacts on both the legal and the financial side of business.

I hope that isn't based on a belief in that so-called, "Code 1"!

"" I can't imagine a lower test. It would be difficult to not pass that test! "" That comment is pure opinion and may very well have no basis in fact. He/she should have to provide evidence to support their view, at the very least. ""....both sides will want this to be brought to a conclusion."" Nonetheless, S&G will be obliged to produce evidence that they have a valid claim. According to WTG, although they claim to have such evidence, they refuse to release it. That would seem to contradict your statement here.

""Good point Mr Marsh (hope your recovery is still going well)."" Fine so far, thanks for your good wishes, I think another goodly number of days like this would help a lot though!

"Quindell’s accounting policies were not relied on by Slater and Gordon in its due diligence of the PSD, which was undertaken with the assistance of Ernst & Young LLP." What this means is that Quindell’s accounting policies were not relied on by Slater and Gordon in its due diligence of the PSD, which was undertaken with the assistance of Ernst & Young LLP. So just to make it clear to anybody reading, it seems plain to me that, Quindell’s accounting policies were not relied on by Slater and Gordon in its due diligence of the PSD, which was undertaken with the assistance of Ernst & Young LLP. Why is this proving so difficult for some to understand?

I don't want to risk too much....

I need to buy another share.

"It's not a question of accepting someone's view...it's simply a case of being objective when investing."" Or a case of deciding that someone is so off-putting and vile you would never follow them. Their "investing skills" are eclipsed by their lack of humanity. Really, there ARE such things as ethical investors.

""The rest of us will sit back and enjoy."" No, I'm not bothered. I wish I had invested my fortune now rather than earlier but I have to run with it, my problem nobody else's. You can't make the planets turn quicker, they'll come my way soon enough. Been wacthing Spanish Grand Prix practice and playing the piano. Better things than sitting here. I might even read the 2 (!) RNSs in a minute.... Tea first, I may be back later. Flat today.... that's good for WTG! BTW, it's not just the nose, I've been wearing dentures since the 1960's. Well, when your younger you get into all sorts of things, then, (hopefully!) you grow up.

""TW was spot on the money with QPP"" That is just an urban myth. If you throw enough mud some will stick.... ten year old pictures of doors... shocking! Bankrupt by... when was it? How many times? Can't pay the staff by when was it? How many times? A "Nuclear Hand Grenade" What a joke. His selfish greedy, uncaring, aggressive and unpleasant demeanour single him out as a person I also refuse to have any contact with. Nothing to do with "cutting off my (miss shapen nose, all to do with personal standards) However, if you wish to admire "someone" that is up to you. BTW, I hope you haven't forgotten, I am neither a RT fan or hater. (I actually had to "DuckDuckGo" [The search engine that doesn't track you!] his name and I'd posted an article with a picture of him only yesterday, but didn't read the caption as I do not consider it important. I see absolutely no point in harping on about the past, especially as it seems most people don't remember it too accurately!

""I wonder if IM knew this was coming and his resignation was prompted by not being willing to stick around and waste his career fighting a legal battle for which he was not responsible. I think I would have done exactly the same."" I believe he is responsible. He is the one who was in charge at the time, he would nave been at the negotiations, so I think he is the responsible officer. Personally if I was him and I was confident I would now withdraw my resignation to prove my self-belief. He will though still be available for any legal hearings and so he is free to do as he pleases. But if it were me, I'd be sticking around for the fight. You don't get a nose that looks like mine from running away!

just in case anybody is stupid enough to claim dishonesty in any form from the present BoD. Although perhaps they have proof of something different? No, I thought not. ""Watchstone denies any misrepresentation in the strongest terms and remains satisfied that neither the warranty claim nor a misrepresentation claim have merit and will defend such claims robustly if proceedings are brought.""

No, I won't be at the AGM, I can't afford the train fare because I have shares in WTG! But anybody else who attends is free to ask the same questions. There is a distinct and obvious difference in attitude between the shareholders who are long term and in at a high price and those who aren't, you may have noticed.

""..the company has to follow the right legal procedures and precautions.."" I'm going to shock you now. Yeah, I do know that, thanks! However there are ways to do things. Although I see you (oblique) point.....if you don't do anything you can't do anything wrong. Beware of playing into knowledgeable hands. There is nothing wrong with getting explanations out of people who are paid a lot. """Major Duties of Board of Directors....... 5. Account to the stockholders (in the case of a for-profit) or public (in the case of a nonprofit) for the products and services of the organization and expenditures of its funds, including: - to provide for fiscal accountability, approve the budget, and formulate policies related to contracts from public or private resources - to accept responsibility for all conditions and policies attached to new, innovative, or experimental products/services/programs."" Have they dome that as well as they could? Some may be satisfied but I am not. Also: ""Major Responsibilities of Board of Directors 8. Enhance the Organization's Public Image"" Abject failure. Whole thing: http://managementhelp.org/boards/responsibilities.htm

""...bad news after bad news.."" Yes and the BoD MUST take responsibility for that. End of, no debate, no excuses, the responsibility lies soley at the BoD door. There will have been good news but it hasn't been made anything of, they just give us the legal minimum, virtually all of which is, as you have identified, bad. This company NEEDS a good PR expert. For the benefit of the BoD, a PR expert is someone who CAN make news people want to hear seem even better, there is nothing wrong with that, in fact EVERYBODY else is already doing it! I am left wondering if this is a ploy to make us happy for anything we can get and then the BoD, who have all sorts of contacts, will take this, rip it apart and share it all out among themselves. Are they a BoD, or are they a team of asset strippers?

""yes but someone must have sold those lol."" But they have been sold as Market Makers STOCK from the STOCK MARKET! (That is why it is called the STOCK MARKET) People in business sell their STOCK to make PROFIT, then they buy more stock back in to SELL.... See?

Buys v sells!!

I feel obliged to post "YLF" as the opportunity was denied you in your last comment, I hope this helps . There are many twists and turns left in this story, your obvious delight at the negativity may yet become misery at optimism. Stranger things have happened. Here, have one on me, YLF.
