Galliford Ty , would we be bettet here with or without them? I see the Divi here would change, not really sure if it's for the better.

Lets hope she goes back up to £12-15 along with ezj. That's be nice for me personally. The div here isn't that special when you take off the pesky German tax for divs, although if we crash out of Europe without a deal at least we'll get more £ for our euro div. Let's hope the div remains reasonable if they reckon the Boeing max is gonna cost them 300mln. Here's hoping...

I'd still be careful, can't understand why this is rising with all the brexit stuff going on, a possible labour govt coming to power before year end and looming strike on the horizon. Doesn't stack up.

Looks like we'll be getting more bang for our buck, so to speak. Under 1.2 dollars now.

Any thoughts? Getting the debt down? Share buybacks? Or return with a special div?

Think you'll find office union rep attracts no extra payment at all.

How things change quickly in today's volatile market. From up 3% to down 2% in a morning. Crazy.

Its uncrossing trade, not a single trade of £35m! Best not to look at the trades coz it's pretty meaningless in my opinion. Bought in this afternoon, 4% Divi due Thursday then hopefully recovery. All this iron ore bear market is just talk. Nobody knows. This is a good, big company. It'll be just fine.... famous last words.

Maybe we shouldn't have sold so much of our holding couple of years ago..

Agreed but still gotta be aware of trump and china. One tweet from him can wipe 5% off this in a day.

The biggest polluter of the planet aren't cars, planes, busses or power stations. They are PEOPLE. How many of these rebellion folk have got loads of kids? There is only one way to save our planet and that is by reducing the population explosion. It may be controversial but hey. I don't care. When someone with 2 or 3 or 4 kids starts lecturing me on having a car and flying on holiday once a yr, well that's just short sighted hipocracy. More people = more food to be grown, more power needed ...shall I go on?

The rights issue shares weren't actually tradable. You could have opted to sell if you wanted but that wouldn't have happened till today , they sold the rump for 211 so you would have got 26p/share for your rights issue shares less any costs and dealing charges. OK, my holding would have been diluted but so far, I wouldn't have been able to buy new full paid shares on the open market for less than £1.85.
Am I missing something?

Don't think they qualify. Might be wrong.

Does this mean there's not much point taking up your rights issue shares? If you don't there's not much hope of getting anything paid for them if you let em lapse is there?

If a 25hr contract is doing a 39hr duty 'some' overtime will be 14hrs, if the 25 hr contact is willing to do it. If not, then mail fails. We're saving in pens contribution on the 25hr contact, that's all.

Why has the purchase price and average price of my ordinary shares dropped and the rights issue shares looks to have borrowed money from my original purchase price shares? If I don't take up and buy my rights shares, will my portfolio go back to how it was i.e original purchase price and average price? Never dealt with a rights issue before. Thanks in advance.

Who would have thought Thomas Cook would be 10p ,a few years ago? Stranger things have happened.

And they're gonna get full very quickly.

Funny you should say that, I've held ezj and BHP at the same time in the past and they were inseparable for ages, matching each other penny for penny. Wonder where the bottom is here. Seems a bargain price now, but said that for last few weeks....and still she slides.

You misinterpreted what I said. The motley Fool article stated both bdev and PSN were valued high end giving Investors a chance to sell. Was just pointing out the falacy of the article as PSN is way off it's highs. I agree with you, bdev is the much superior company's. Five stars for 10 yrs running says alot.
