The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
I hope for his sake he likes porridge!
I wonder what the management are saying behind closed doors this morning. Hopefully it is positive....that they relish the opportunity to get stuff done now the speculation of a bid is out of the way.
Hopefully it is regret that they cannot cash out their share options & retire to an easy life.
I guess we are reaching a moment of truth. Will the BOD accept to the deal on the table or will a knight in shining white armour come galloping in?
"Can someone explain why they have such a downer on her, as it seems to me she's disliked purely for being left leaning. "
============================================================================
Anon, there are some bizarre reasons....one person didn't like the way she dressed.
Hopefully now they have dropped their lunatic plan to scrap all EU laws regardless of their effectiveness or benefit may restore some confidence that we aren't run by idiots....although I suspect it will be a difficult reputation to lose. Hard to imagine the Tories have done it to us.
"David/Andy, ....I DO NOT really care who you post as... "
PS So many negatives I confused even myself.
David/Andy, I don't know if it is just me but unfortunately I really care who you post as. Sorry.
Why you told us is a mystery to me....although I suppose IF David is 'pro' LGEN and Andy is 'Anti' LGEN perhaps that would explain a lot. But sorry I don't really care how you run youy life.
"‘I think GB news is great’"
=============================================
OMG. That's a very brave thing to admit.
Almost an oxymoron.
Radium, I hope you are correct. The previous owner of Amobee had invested a lot of money in the business but seemed to have lost interest. I don't know enough about the business to know if it was a good purchase by Ofer (which worries me). The Unruly deal was a 'No-Brainer'....not so sure this time. Hopefully Ofer can work his magic.
I think the days of grand promises and wonderful ideas have gone and it is time for delivery in the tech industry.
Tom, I think you have made it very obvious what sort of a person you are. You have never made a bad investment decision. Everything you touch turns to gold....eventually. And you are impressed by management who dress in Armani.
Each to their own.
Have a good Bank Holiday.
Adam, I think they are involved in building a school/college in the local town but I'm not sure if that is the answer. I'm sure such transactions have the possibility of making auditors a little 'twitchy'.
The previous auditor ran into trouble with quite large construction projects not covered by a formal contract (or something similar)....I think we put it down to 'that's how things are done in Kazakhstan'.....although the management promised to do better.
Almost to be expected from ALTN. A brief look at the numbers in the RNS and I was wondering what 'Admin Expenses - sponsorship programme' of £3.654m means....that's quite a chunk of cash not being spend developing the mine.
Hopefully the auditor gives them a green light.
Meconopsis, of course you are correct. There are a variety of scenarios of whether investors have 'factored in' the ex-dividend SP 'drop'.
I suppose the thing is for those who don't fully understand ex-div date to not have a heart attack tomorrow morning - especially with LGEN's large final dividend of 13.93p. However if SP falls 50p first thing tomorrow I may be on the way to casualty myself....or more likely adding significantly.
....see if the SP CHANGES by more or less than 13.93p
I'm not sure what the question is asking. The SP starts the day (ex-div date) lower by the next dividend amount, in the case LGEN 13.93p. So if the SP ends the day less than 13.93p down on the day people who purchased before ex-div day will be up and conversely if SP ends day more than 13.93p down on the day those same people would 'theoretically' be down.
So the 'interesting' thing is to see if the SP falls by more or less than 13.93p....you pays your money, you takes your choice.
"How much is L&G expected to fall after the ex divi date?"
=================================================
WIN2020, do you mean ON the ex-div date?
"It comes a year after an approach, said to have been pitched by a US buyout firm at 900p-a-share, was withdrawn amid market uncertainty prompted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
It remains possible that no formal bid will be made for the company during the latest set of discussions."
=====================================================================
My mind boggles. I guess it's a case of Chinese whispers.....so we could have had a deal for 900p if it wasn't for Putin. Instead we get rumours about a 'maybe' deal. I'm sceptical but would love to be proven wrong.
Tricky, I'm not sure what that tells me.
As far as I know there hasn't been an offer for the company, and until there is confirmation of an offer (or that someone is even looking at the books) then any talk of potential offers is pure speculation imo.
Tricky, are you saying that the lack of any firm confirmation of a bid doesn't mean that 'someone' isn't looking at buying TRMR?
Isn't there a saying that might fit: "Show me the money"?
Lots of hot air....which I presume are day traders trying to create an 'opportunity' Monday morning. Just 'show me the money', please!
