About £3m if ACCC vs Reckitt Benckiser is a guide. That'd buy you nearly two houses in Kensington and Chelsea.

Was surprised when I visited Vancouver how well behaved the city's pedestrians were compared to London.

I think the pedestrian issue could eventually be overcome by education or natural selection or a bit of both;-)

It is an area that has not had a great deal of attention from what I have seen. Autonomous vehicles will need a radical rethink about infrastructure. There are wins and losses to be counted e.g. a lot of expensive street furniture would no longer be needed but track might need to be off limits to any other kind of street users. They would need to be provided for in another way. Vehicles might be so much safer that heavy protective bodywork could be reduced. Big, expensive changes.

"Smart Eye increases the loss during the first quarter, looks at financing options
Smart Eye reports increasing sales during the first quarter compared to the same period last year. The company reports an increased loss.

Sales amounted to SEK 11.7 million (9.6), an increase of 22 percent compared with the previous year.

The operating profit was SEK -22.2 million (-13.8), which is in line with the plan and reflects investments in personnel to meet the increasing amount of projects and customer inquiries won, state the company in the report.

Profit before tax was SEK -22.3 million (-14.0).

Profit after tax was SEK -22.3 million (-14.0).

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 65.6 million. In the report of the report, Martin Krantz writes that the company is reviewing financing options.

"In light of the increased activity in Automotive Solutions in general, and the great opportunities we see in the Chinese market and in order to maintain our market-leading position, the Board of Smart Eye has commissioned Carnegie Investment Bank to review and evaluate additional financing options to maximize the opportunities to take advantage of the very favorable market conditions that currently prevail, "he writes."

You said " The stock market is very efficient.."

That's BS. If the stock market was very efficient it would make no mistakes. It does make mistakes and is slow to react. People here made a packet because the stock market took so long to spot Ocado (I am not in that one right now). I've also made money (banked) on several other stocks thanks to the somnolent stock market.

But don't stop posting on here - it keeps folk on their toes! Likewise SEE stopping R&D would be a disastrous mistake.

We will get level 5 one day. Probably sooner than MANY decades. Meanwhile intermediate levels as autonomy steals drivers' attention are going to be absolutely dependent on first class DMS. This is just the beginning and SEE is there.

..is knocking.

Obviously she/he just wants us to sell in despair, get the price down then he/she will dive in swoop up the bargains.

Anyway my last tranche is back in profit, could I have bought at the bottom?

What is Smart Eye?

Should have gone down really.

Bought a few more. x-d in under a month and it's current price may be due to Trumpaphobia which could be alleviated towards the end of June. Or get worse. Who knows?

Got out last August. A loss worth taking as it's turned out.

VOD rolling out 5G in July I believe but unfortunately I suspect they won't be the company that benefits the most.

"Eckoh continues to see momentum with larger-scale opportunities

The group has an excellent sales pipeline and continues to see momentum with larger-scale opportunities at enterprise level in both divisions."

I have both! It's some consolation. And I am looking forawrd to the Aviva divi on 30 May and LGEN on D-day.

I think you are massaging the figures there. It's actually £0.90 lower than it was 25 years ago. In that time the FTSE has doubled its value. Of course to be fair you would have to factor in dividends.

I wonder how much the CEOs have been paid in that time? No, don't tell me, better not to know.

He is simply a self-serving narcissist surrounded by like minded sycophants.

I see that the ghostwriter of 'his' book now regrets his complicity:

"the prospect of President Trump terrified him. It wasn’t because of Trump’s ideology—Schwartz doubted that he had one. The problem was Trump’s personality, which he considered pathologically impulsive and self-centered. ..

“I put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is.” He went on, “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”"

75% of French speed cameras were trashed in the protests lately. In February French road fatalities rose by 17% and the government has started replacing the cameras with radar towers (Mesta Fusion 2). These can check what a driver is up to in many ways. They can track multiple cars in up to 8 lanes over 200m.

Inattentive, lane swerving drivers will soon have no hiding place on French roads!

Yes in that sense it's a bonus. And so I have got some more in at today's price.

Can you buy shares in Trump's companies? No? Didn't think so. As far as I am concerned there'd be no barge pole long enough anyway. How about you Finley1? Would you trust Trump with your money? Just as well you can't I'd say.

As for Trump telling people how it is, I am afraid he is simply a liar.

The Huawei business is ironic because Pompeo says the company has to comply with the state and that's bad. Then he comes over to Britain and says our government has to do what Trump wants WRT to Huawei or else. Doesn't matter if it sets back our 5G (IoT) programme after all why should Trump care about us so long as we toe his line.

Trump supporters are either cognitively challenged or else they are on the make and to hell with every one else.

.. just like that.

Keep thinking I'll buy more on the dips too.

Trump the world's most influential businessman:

"Trump's tax returns reveal his businesses 'lost more than $1bn in 10 years' .."

"Trump's reported losses equated to more than any American tax-payer had lost for that period which is alarming considering the presidents constant boasts about his business and financial acumen."

At the end of that period Jeff Bezos started a bookshop.

Mind you, in March 2018 U.S. President Donald Trump accused Amazon–and Bezos, specifically–of sales tax avoidance, misusing postal routes, and anti-competitive business practices. Amazon's share price fell by 9% in response to the President's negative comments; this reduced Bezos's personal wealth by $10.7 billion.
Weeks later, Bezos recouped his losses when academic reports out of Stanford University indicated that Trump could do little to regulate Amazon in any meaningful way.

While Trump uses his mouth (and Twitter), Bezos, like him or not, uses his head.

Yes, I think Trump is a clown and idiot, but a very dangerous one.
