Spot on, the thought of a trade in 500,000, given the pitiful turnover in this counter, makes me wonder what Taser is smoking, as I'd like some please...

@Travelcard

With the SP down 8.3% today perhaps someone knows something ?

@Stuart

I have to agree !

What is so irritating to me is that on their website it gives no date for the final figures but it does say that the next AGM is 18 April, which is a mere 4 weeks away and with Easter in between, why keep shareholders in the dark like this, it is madness to do so, IMHO.

Indeed, 2 brokers have appeared to upgrade estimates already, one described it as "hitting sixes".

Let us hope shareholders see some of it, personally I'd be happy just with a boundary hit...

A good reason to suspect the results are very imminent is the SP movement, up from 51p on 13 Feb to 81.5p today, 12 March.

Each time bad news came out for Jarvis this past year ro 18 months, the SP had already been slithering down the snakes in front of an announcement yet this time they appear to be on the ladders ?

Last years final results were out on 9 March so they should be imminent although no indication on the company's website

"I see no statement yet", it is all detailed on the RNS at 07.00 this morning !

I just added in the high 240's, will buy more if they drop another 10p say, they just seem a great stock with good prospects and volatile enough to trade as well which is always nice...

Shaperite

You make good points here, the Chairman (sorry Mary, Chair) is the ultimate captain of the ship with his hand on the tiller & Rucker has been less than effective, to say the least. At some point, just for fun, I'll see what the SP was when he took over and what it is now, then adjust it for inflation, it is likely to be a shocker...

Meanwhile we must hope that his successor will be a tad more "canny" than he was, which surely should not be too difficult ?

One can but hope that his fellow "canny directors" do not vote him a gold Rolex as a memento for his great work in Wolverhampton, a Swatch would be too much.

Indeed, Linda has been busy and a divi increase is to be welcomed.

Despite the obvious headwinds the management of HBR, have done, imho, an exceptionally slick job for us shareholders.

I do think that best practice is to align managements interest with shareholders and it does not speak well for MARS that they continue to dilute shareholders with cheap options in favour of management whilst shareholders are left with diddly squat.

It is now March 5 & still no update !

Discharger

Loan rates coming down soon, you always spout this but forget to point out that so many of MARS debts are capped & collared, are you suffering memory loss ?

Beer is cheaper, arguably, than cigs/vapes but way pricier than the "highs" that most youngsters use these days.

Not to mention buying supermarket Marstons and drinking it at home whilst the pub down the road is half empty to empty but paying for staff and power despite that.

Yes there are plenty of cheap shares in UK market, ESKN for instance, aka Southend Airport which you have been puffing lately all the way down to less than 1p !

Face it, Superdischarger, sub 30p MARS are basically option money, rather like ESKN some months back...

Not being half as smart as you are, I can only look on things simplistically, if I buy at sub 30p I could do very well but I could lose the lot, why is that so difficult for you to take on board ?

FD

Salient comments indeed, it is noticeable how few posts are made when the stock is in the doldrums, like it has been the last few weeks to drop down today by being offered sub 30p.

I note too that we have not heard much about how the property estate will bail us all out, it certainly seems like Mr Market has a different view to many who post here...

@Stuart

Good point, this BoD certainly don't keep investors very well informed, this reflects badly on the whole business, sadly...

Are you posting on the correct page ???

I am amazed that this has not reacted positively to the news that a VCT increased their stake in a rather big way yesterday, anythoughts anyone ?

CEO, I completely agree with you yet the SP is lower today.

An overlooked & undervalued stock IMHO

Jolly

Indeed, I've just added, I think this looks a compelling sector and GB is one of the biggest in it.

Sit, wait & be patient I think on this, not that I've been a holder for very long, but have watched its meteoric rise and its even faster decline until it just looked a no-brainer...

Time alone will tell.

Everestingly

Agreed, I chose it for recovery over Liontrust as it seems an easier company to understan
