IMHO NO Govt present or future will back a project that is going to need a lot of funding, especially when there could be an election looming, even HS2 is in question, politicians will promise any funding to go to the NHS to win votes, not to long term projects like this or HS2, its just the way they work. IMHO

usual MOS bs, hardly news, we have seen that short position doubling down for a while, they are selling into recent rallies, selling assets etc could give the shares a boost, but I wonder if they are just doubling down on recent rises expecting a further fall, either way if they keep the shorts open next month they will get hit for over £1 million divi payout, (rough calculation) based on the shorts they have open. We will have to wait and see.

and with a weak pound, would it be a takeover target for another outside interest, noticed a similar rumour this morning re Morrisons, but was denied. There may be some general interest in UK stocks now who have come into target due to poor performance of pound. IMHO

IMHO, MA crosses etc are just lagging indicators and still give false signals, I wonder how much money has been spent on "systems", software and so called "education" by technical analysis, at the end of the day IMHO there is nothing that can show you what the future is going to bring, news and fundamentals drive charts, charts do not create price action. In other words dog wags tail, tail does not wag dog.

I agree but we all know the gravy train, for BOD's that fail does not operate like that, the workers carry the can and cuts while the pigs have their big snouts in, paying themselves bonuses, extra shares, big pension contributions and pay rises for ideas and plans that just fail over and over again. We have seen it so many times with many FTSE companies, I am surprised that big institutional investors do not become more active in BOD's in companies like this.

more worrying is the fact that the Short positions seem to be rising.

more worries for holders as the short positions have been increased, even at these levels.... any rise is shorted...…. this is a dead duck now... IMHO.

Do not think they will get away with it next time, probably by hanging on a bit longer with give the bigger holders/institutions time to get out bit by bit.

left it a bit late for a sell recommend, what did they recommend when they looked at 1.43 probably hold...……..

hmm careful, remember the last big powerhouse project HS2, now that could get the chop, as promises for other projects like, NHS, Police, etc take vote winning priority!

Trouble is HS2 was in the same hands, but now a bit of pressure is on that could get canned, my own view is that projects that don't win the hearts and minds of voters will get the boot or the Govt will not get involved, to be honest any extra money the govt can get to throw at the NHS is a priority for them as they gain support from all over the country. IMHO

good points and with food production being pushed for more and more output from the same amount of land then it does make sense.

"One would have thought, what with rampant bond markets, German debt offering a negative yield and investors hoovering up junk bonds, that this sale would have been relatively easy."

? never double up on a loser . IMHO

yes and then when there is a major power cut due to not enough capacity on the grid, the govt says there needs to be excess capacity in the network! all well and good mr politician, but if you keep screwing the energy companies who is going to want to provide over capacity when either a)it wont get used, b) if not used what/how do you make up costs etc for the extra capacity you have provided. Govt seems to want to use the energy suppliers same as they did motorists, complain when they charge for power supplied is deemed to high, yet moan about suppliers and there being not enough supply when things go wrong. Same old same old meddling govt to appease the voters...…………

yeah probably use the losses to off set capital gains on all the free shares they have amassed over the years, and still nearly every day is a new 52 week low !!!

Is there anyone out there who may know what potential break up of this company is now, i.e. selling out assets etc, just wondering if that number were out there somewhere?

?
not when you consider their performance over the last 12 months!!!

yeah … almost like that speech .. Oliver Cromwell to the RUMP parliament ……….. this should be cited to the BOD and I CONN...………..
“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”

THE THING THAT STANDS OUT THE MOST...…………………..

Either way, there will be little sympathy for Conn when he steps down, especially considering he was awarded a total pay packet of £2.4 million last year compared to £1.7 million in 2018 despite the company’s performance.

DISGRACEFUL THAT PEOPLE THAT FAIL GET PAID EVEN MORE WHEN THEY FAIL EVEN MORE, ….. DONT UNDERSTAND WHY BIG INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS PUT UP WITH IT...………..
