Got the nod before the announcement?

Managers are lazy, not the foot soldiers. If you work at royal mail you'd know that.

Dragging everyone else down. This should be good news if they're struggling, our results were good! That's what irks me about the stock market. Grrrr.

Oh yeah, 5 new starters in our office this week. Maybe 3 will still be there in a couple of weeks ( yes it is a blxxdy hard job and not everyone is up to it). So yes they are taking staff on, and on 30 hr contracts now whereas before it was an inadequate 20hrs only to be told in the 1st week on the job ' oh yeah, did nobody tell you that it would be impossible to do what we ask in 20 hrs ,do you fancy some overtime?'

Don't be fooled. Letters are not dropping by as much as they report, not in our office anyway. Yes parcels are through the roof. Every Wednesday and Thursday are like xmas used to be 4 yrs ago. Especially 1st week of the month ( pay day for most = internet spending). Don't know how the chancellor's Idea to tax internet sellers more will change that, but tbh from a personal perspective, I wish the packets would ease off a bit lol.

Any walk of life is a cross section of all sorts of people with all sorts of values. By and large most are easy going and just get on with it occasionally moaning about how hard worked they are but at the same time coming in early and working for free. Each to their own. One thing's for certain, you enter this world with nothing and leave with nothing, the bit in the middle, you just have to enjoy the ride. Life is too short for bickering and one thing's for sure you need to look after number one coz without that you can't look after anyone else. I'm just trying to make enough money so I don't have to work till I'm too old to enjoy what life I'd have left. Just treat people how you would want to be treated, but don't be taken for a mug, that's my life motto. Let's get back to talking about the share. ATB to everyone.

That's not actually true is it. It's only the full time staff who are going down to 38 hrs, so not 120,000
and of those full timers probably half of them were and still will be coming in early and finishing early so no difference.

You do realise it's dropped because of going ex div for 64p yesterday? Agree, good buy in point though.

Didn't look too bad.

Oh, the sun. Must be true then. They're quite politically neutral aren't they? C' mon half the staunch labour voters wouldn't vote labour tomorrow coz they voted for brexit and labor are wanting another referendum. The whole world of politics is buggered if you ask me.

Why are you on a share dealing site and at the same time saying bollox to capitalism? Don't get that. Also, you need to look over our latest 'pension' info and if you believe the union rubbish that it's industry leading you need to take your blinkers off. It may well be industry leading but it's essentially just a savings scheme that rmg chip into. THERE IS NO GAURANTEED PENSION at the end .

Thanks. Jumped in this morning@ 1315 . Nice rise today. Thanks. Have you any more to sell......?

About today, little bit of profit taking after the rise. Smart money will stay here for a gold price recovery. The biggest in the world companies in their relative fields do not normally fail.

Well they may be efficient, but their pilots aren't happy, so maybe to give them a better deal and avoid the strikes, it's gonna hit their efficiency.

All I can find is Q1 2019 . Anyone dug deeper and found what timescales we're looking at before RRS disappears from the FTSE?

If gold increases then the sp of barrick should also but possibly by more than RRS would have done on it's own. Plus we're getting a 2.5% dividend before the transition to the new company, plus if the pound drops against the dollar around Brexit time it'll be even better, so not such a bad deal really?

Whatever you call it, it's ignited the sp.

$2 us dividend is a yield of 2.8% on today's sp and ex rate. Says it'll be ex div around the change date, whenever that will be.

It states that existing RRS share holders will get $2 a share dividend still. Don't know what will happen going forward when its one company, but they are honouring the current RRS divi.

They're , barrick that is, not offering a price as such, it's just shares,so multiply your rrs shares by 6.128 ( think that's right) to get the number of barrick shares you'll get. Now you multiply that by the current barrick sp. There's the exchange rate to take into account too as it's in us$ not £. Hope that helps. It's a coin toss as to sell now or not, but being as you're down I would hold for the longer term. You'll make profit at some stage, it's gonna be the biggest gold company in the world. Unless you need the money urgently I wouldn't take a loss if I were you ,look both rrs and barrick have gone up 6% on the news so the markets like it. Don't panic sell would be my advice.
