15.8p to 21.7p = 37.3% is even more amazing!

Thanks Tiggerman.

Tiggerman - have you seen my post at 12.26 on Monday (currently page 20 on here)?

Hi Tiggerman. If there is room for me I would like to attend the get-together next Wednesday. My wife and I will be driving down from North Staffordshire on Tuesday; we have booked a room at The Stag on the River for two nights; and we will have a look around the area during the day on Wednesday. My wife will not be attending the get-together.

Hi Fred. No, I don't think that you can edit after you have posted a message.
You have made me take action! My wife and I will be driving down from North Staffordshire on Tuesday, staying at The Stag on the River for two nights, and looking round the area on Wednesday. I will attend the get-together and my wife will find something else to amuse her!

Hi Fred. I am fine and hope that you are too. Are you going to Tiggerman's get-together this month?
I seem to be able to edit - why can't you?

Yankee99 - alternatively Lemmy get my coat.

cconsult - I followed Goodwins more closely in the mid-1960s when the share price was only about 50p. Since then I have only read about them in the local newspaper. When the Chairman retired his sons took over, the company very successfully expanded into new products, and his sons too have now retired. New large buildings have been constructed on neighbouring land in recent years. My impression is that the company is doing well, but you must not rely on an outsider's impression so DYOR. It is a pity that the quoted spread is so wide, presumably the shares are not traded very often. I only looked at this board because I saw that the results had been announced.

Yankee99 - and the birthplace of Robbie Williams, Phil "the Power" Taylor, author Arnold Bennett, actor Freddie Jones - the list could go on. Yes, we are an eclectic lot!

Yankee99 - and the birthplace of Sir Stanley Matthews, the world famous footballer!

Redtrader at 15.34 - it appears not to be correct when you say that Greatland have poached Otto from Newcrest. Hopefullygold showed Otto's Linked In entries in a post at 11.01 today. Otto left Newcrest in October 2019 to join Resolute Mining after working for Newcrest since September 2018. He was with Resolute Mining until now. If Greatland have poached him from anyone it is from Resolute Mining.

Forseti - I am glad that I didn't follow you into ITX. They were 12.15p on 28th April, 16.20p on 7th July, and they are now down to 6.55p.

I am very happy with the Barclays Smart Investor service.

Hi MrEMC2 - I question the delay of 2 days in transferring funds to the family member's Bank account.
I envisage the following:-
On day 1 you instruct IWeb to sell the appropriate number of GGP shares from your ISA on a T+3 basis.
On day 4 IWeb receive the proceeds from the market. These are cleared funds which are immediately available for reinvestment.
Before starting this process you have instructed IWeb in writing that you are gifting the net proceeds to a family member, and you authorise IWeb to credit the proceeds to your family member's ISA on day 4.
Still on day 4 IWeb credit your family member's ISA with the cleared funds, thereby giving your family member the opportunity to buy GGP shares on that day.
I see no reason why the proceeds need to be credited to your ISA and then transferred to your non-ISA account, then transferred to your family member's non-ISA account and then to your family member's ISA account. Your ISA will correctly show that your holding of GGP has been reduced - why does IWeb need to perform all of the transfers to show the flow of the funds from your account to your family member's account? It will have honoured your written instructions and retained them on their file.

MrEMC2 - provided that the other family member's ISA is with the same manager as yours, and is already open (if not, then open it before you start this process), and provided that your ISA manager has a stockbroking arm, I would have thought that you ought to be able to sell your shares on a T+3 basis, at the same time giving written instructions to your ISA manager that the proceeds are being gifted to your relative and must be credited to your relative's ISA on the day that they are received from the market. On the third working day after your sale your relative ought then to be able to use the proceeds to buy the shares into his/her ISA.
You would be at risk of the share price moving during only 3 working days, and it would cost commission on the sale and purchase and the spread between the buying and selling prices. Off the top of my head I cannot remember the value on which the PTM levy is charged, but even if it is levied on the two deals it is only £1 per transaction.
If your broker has told you that it will take a minimum of 14 days to carry out these transactions I suggest that you tell him that you wish to proceed as above and that you cannot see any reason why the two transactions cannot be completed within 3 working days. Please let me know how you get on.

I have just noticed that I made two stupid mistakes in my post yesterday morning. I had prostate cancer in 2010, not 2000, and liver and lung cancer in 2016, not 2006. Apologies for those errors.

Thank you very much to all who have sent messages following my post this morning.
Fred16 - thank you for your kind words. I have noticed that you attend Tiggerman's get-togethers. If the time comes when more than 30 can meet I will be happy to come down from North Staffordshire and put more faces to names.
Tiggerman - last December you mentioned that you had been investing for over 60 years. I don't expect that you will be able to answer yes to this question but I wonder whether you remember the Ebor group of Unit Trusts. Our most popular were Ebor High Return, Ebor Capital Accumulator and Ebor Commodity. I was a Director of Ebor Securities from its launch in 1964 until it was bought by Save and Prosper in 1969.

On this day last year a number of posters were giving us their target price for Greatland shares. I said that I would be 82 in August and having had prostate cancer in 2000 and liver and lung cancer in 2006, none of which had spread from another, my target was to live for another five years so that I could see how well Greatland would progress during that period.
After receiving comments from various posters I said that I would make a point of posting on 31st May each year to let them know that I am still around, and that is what I am doing now. My holding remains unchanged and the closing share price has increased from exactly 10p on 31st May 2020 to exactly 22p now, a rise of 120%.
Some posters are impatient, but I regard a rise of 120% in a year as very satisfactory, and I consider that the management of Greatland and New Crest is excellent and that the possibilities for future growth in the share price are extremely good.
I shall be 83 in August. My latest CT scan showed no sign of cancer, and I look forward to being able to write to you again next year.

jonesrichard was another of his aliases, and I see that he has been busy on HUR today. JiffyBag says that he thinks that he is using RNSTranslator on that site - if so that means that he is using at least two names on that board.

Are you thinking of illbetabuck? It is suspected that he turned up elsewhere under different names - correct me if I am wrong - johhny evans, arnold palmer? Any more aliases?
