I'm guessing the reason people are pleading for an RNS is that they think it will result in the share price spiking (as predicted by ContraryMary). You've placed a bet which may or may not pan out but like the rest of us you are just a nobody and a hostage to fortune. Talk of contacting Directors to "give them an earful" sounds both pompous and delusional to me.

Last June when the share price was in 82-85p range Pogo submitted numerous lengthy posts stating that we were heading for anything up to £2 per share. Given his track record of being consistently wrong I'm amazed he keeps posting like he's some sort of financial guru.

I've just googled "ai book to film writing tools" and it's clear we have dozens of competitors. I wonder if any of our rivals have disclosed how many paying customers they have?

I see the market has reacted positively to the broker update from ContraryMary.

Well that's good news. No less an authority than ContraryMary states we've nothing to fear on the Regulatory front and we can expect the SP to jump 10 -15% once the deal is announced! Great news, I'll happily take that, thanks for the heads up - It means a lot coming from a top bloke like you.

Maidit somehow always manages to interpret every RNS in a positive way. Laughably he was still at it even after Cineworld put out an RNS stating PI's were going to lose everything. The man is a dangerous lunatic.

I think the reason behind the SP remaining stagnant is the genuine uncertainty over any bid getting regulatory approval particularly as we don't know who the relevant ministers will be or the prevailing mood at number 10. I reckon that even when the deal is announced the initial impact on the share price will be minimal.

So in the six months leading up to 31/03/26 we burnt through just shy of a million quid and still no mention of any significant revenues. It's all very well for the "Rome wasn't built in a day" brigade to say it's all going to come good but I wonder just how long we've got left.

So what do we make of reports that "UK government minded to intervene in Paramounts takeover of Warner Bros Discovery" ?

Well if Pogo says we should be in the £1.60 - £2.00 range within the next 12 months that's good enough for me - after all he's never been wrong before!

What does the start of a new week herald on this forum? Same as usual, masses and masses of good news coupled with an unchanged share price.

Just topped up another 6 million.

Ok, so without going into debating whether ITV is the best/worst company in the world can anybody explain to me why the SP hasn't jumped on recent reports of positive progress on the bid front? Thanks in advance.

Spot on mate - wouldn't wanna be out of this one over the weekend!

It looks increasingly likely that the much vaunted takeover is finally going to happen so I can't understand why the SP is still languishing at around 82p. I don't know the reasoning but can only think it's because it's likely to take many, many months to get the necessary regulatory approval. I'm Very tempted to buy back in here because in the long term it looks a sure fire winner but it would mean selling some other shares which are currently doing quite well.

Wow, you seem very angry. By contrast I'm quite happy with my lot in life. Takes all kinds I suppose. Tell me, how is it the governments fault if staff leave Sainsburys after a few weeks?

Taken from the BBC "During his 10 years in office Tony Blair left the key decisions on economic policy in the hands of Chancellor Gordon Brown. Economic growth was unspectacular but steady - the longest period of uninterrupted growth in 200 years". Looking at the charts I would say that over that 10 year period GDP increased by about 3% per annum. I wonder how that compares with any 10 of the 14 years the Conservatives were in charge? Though in fairness Blair/Brown didn't have Brexit to contend with.

Brugel, your post sums up the dilemma many of us are faced with on any given stock. I'm underwater on this one but have averaged down a bit and it might suit my purposes to sell a few in the 82-84p range. Will that prove to be a good move? No offence to anybody but nobody on here really knows and only time will tell. For what it's worth (nothing) I'm reasonably optimistic that in the short term the SP might continue to inch up a little.

When you say "an extra few pence" doesn't that equate to at least 10% ?

I'm not the one who spends however much time unearthing news and as for the mundane joys of paying bills I'm happy to let the missus take care of that. Off now to enjoy the sunny weather but please continue to report on your extensive and exhaustive research findings - it will give us something to talk about tomorrow.
