For some reason they seem to have moved from quarterly updates to a 6 month production update. Not sure why they couldn't have stuck with quarterly update and let the half year report contain the 6 month figure. But I suppose they all add up to the same numbers (hopefully!!).

".....- although their actions so far don't suggest this."

===============================================

Well they haven't told me anything!

It is 'probably' impossible to guess what their motivations are. There have been vague mention that they plan to pay a dividend when there are excess profits. But funnily enough there are never any excess profits....which is understandable given the current levels of investment. Private investors will be the last people to hear what the family have planned.

We can only hope that the absurdly low valuation for a gold producer with reserves and a viable plan to increase productioin will attract value investors. But obviously the risks are a big factor. If management can reduce those perceived risks then as RB suggested the SP could get a significant boost.

"All analytically researched and verified by myself and my team"

=======================================================

Oh, I see. You - and your 'team' - think & hope the next set of results are likely to impress the market. I hope are good too. DYOR

"Next results likely to be very upbeat."

========================================

Is that wishful thinking or based on anything substantial? ....insider information much appreciated!!

"Do they have any potential other than the current dismal performances?"

=============================================================

Arguably they have some of the best players in the world playing for arguably some of the best teams. But football is about playing as a team....they have started poorly in previous tournaments, found their mojo and finished strongly. We live in Hope.

"England v Slovenia clocks up ITV’s biggest audience of 2024 with 15.4m peak"

===================================================================

I'm not sure 15.4m diasappointed viewers is what ITV or the advertisers were hoping for. Let's hope the performances improve. But I suppose to some extent we don't care as long as they win. But more people are likely to watch if they start playing to their potential.

What is going on with ITV. Is this a temporary bounce due to a bit of sunshine or something more permanent?

Looks like Uncle Tom might be losing his war of words?

".....and always look for those guilty of their failures in someone else's actions and not in their own bad and stupid decisions?"

=======================================================

I'm always looking for someone else to blame when things go wrong, I suppose it is human nature. But it's probably unhealthy when it becomes an obsession.

RB, I agree they need to do something to dilute their holding below 50%. If they can do what you say then I would be all for it. But I suspect they are much more likely to take it private, which would be bad for investors.

Bit of a rollercoaster for SP today.

KingSuarez, it isn't you. I thought your original post was fair comment (even though I disagreed with it). Buster is one of those people who attacks people for no other reason than he's bored I think. I have him filtered btw....much nicer that way I find.

"I'm convinced LGEN mean from 2025 they will be increasing the divvy 7%"

=========================================================================

Riomaster, are you sure it's not wishful thinking?

These statements are presumably worded to avoid confusion & ambiguity by professional people so as to avoid litigation by disguntled investors who felt they have been misled.Hopefully LGEN have got their wording right.

I seem to remember a while back someone commented that ALTN aren't paying for a 'proper' general release of their RNS's, choosing a cheaper option presumably to save costs (I can understand that). If that is the case they would have some repsonsibility for the way their RNS's are disseminated.

Well that totally passed me by. Q1 results issued on 7th May and I only now realise. They really have an problem with communicating to investors & potential investors.

I wonder if Tom is proud of himself. He has almost single handed made this forum a very toxic place to visit.

The only question is whether this will smoke out other potential bidders. I don't think the current interested party are serious, it is a cheeky offer but it could make other more serious companys believe that WG could be bought for a reasonable price...assuming anyone is really interested of course.

SP chart looking quite encouraging at the moment. Hopefully good news will support this momentum. I wonder what people who are shorting ITV are thinking, possibly feeling very nervous. But they may have made their money already.

You can go to prison for incest!

There is not much I can see in the TU to suggest that the company is currently under-valued. Unfortunately the BOD aren't delivering on the value they seem to think is within the company, and it would be hard to defend against a reasonable offer. Perhaps that is what they are trying to do, smoke out other bidders. Question is what are Wood group worth?!

I do remember that a long time ago the company issued new shares and the Assabayeu family bought those shares for something like the equivalent of £3....which turns out to have been a poor investment. At the time the SP did increase quite a lot....but that could have been the confidence the market got that the company had sufficient funds to invest in the mine (unfortunately they needed a lot more).

I don't see any fund manager paying 100% above market rate for new shares.
