Something is not right, showing E2.17 in Dublin on t/o of 361K. Year high E2.57

Is it the level of debt that Dole are carrying which will need to be substantially reduced within 5 years?

Or are TOT unable to pass on higher costs resulting from the current weather? Suspect that TOT are having to pay a higher price for some of their lines.

Any thoughts?

EU decision will be sooner than later. https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/totals-dole-buy-to-be-assessed-in-july-37011968.html

Goodbody confirm unchanged PT of E8.9. We could be waiting.

Davy were quite impressed, they have increase their price target from E8.9 to E9!

https://www.irishtimes.com/business/markets/mind-the-gap-bofi-boss-hopes-london-trip-will-close-stock-discount-1.3524348 From Irish Times business section this morning. So will we see E7 or �8 on Thursday?

I hope Ms McDonagh knows how to sell the story. She needs to move the SP in the right direction. It will be interesting to review broker reports on the 14th.

A whole section was given over to Dole, also showed a Dole Promo video. All very positive about the deal. Needs EU approval, expected to be slightly delayed, a lot of paper required. The deal has a "walk away" element if TP doesn't proceed to take up 51% within 5 years however on terms that are in TPs favour. The meeting was well attended, suspect quiet a few retired FFY employees Div was in my bank a/c this morning. Now �2.23 in Dublin on 167K traded

It's already small!

Should be a statement @ 7AM tomorrow

I am very happy with Degiro however the compensation limit is 20K. In Ireland its 100K.

Per Irish Times, a block of 5.37M changed hands, that accounts for 160m pre consolidation.

In my Degiro a/c just after the open.

I think the weakness will be temporary, a positive AGM statement is required. You mention oil, agreed this is a major cost factor which eats into the low profit margin. On the plus side people are more conscious of what the eat and are willing to spend on real food. Take a look into other shoppers trolleys :)

Interesting announcement to-day, beefing up the boardroom. Connected to the Dole deal?

Tks TippingPoint. All options covered. Ashton

Bookmakers are pushing for a one-year transition period should the government opt to impose a �2 maximum stake on fixed odds betting terminals (FOBTs) � the �crack cocaine� of gambling. A decision by Theresa May on whether to cut the top stake from �100 to �50, �30 or �2 is expected in the coming days. Critics say that the machines are highly addictive and a �social blight�. There were more than 230,000 individual sessions last year in which a player lost more than �1,000. Britain�s biggest high street betting chains have warned of widespread shop closures and job losses should the government go ahead with its threat to cut the maximum stake to �2. William Hill, which employs about 14,000 people, is pushing for a period of grace if the �2 stake is announced later this month. However, the company is not optimistic of securing a full year. Greg Knight, managing director of the independent bookmaker JenningsBet, is calling for a probationary period � allowing the industry to prove itself with a �20 stake So how does this leave any additional payment due to Lads shareholders? At �2 they get nothing however if its �20 in 2018 and �2 in 2019 ................ I would like to hear some thoughts

Now about 10% off year high, AGM very soon. Would like to hear a positive statement. Planning to attend the meeting. Any thoughts on the share price?

Nice rise to-day, so far that is.

You will have to wait, the payment is due 24th May.
