grow up, PB.

banjo, i note in your continued infatuation you keep trolling me. get a life. when i wrote that i was fully conscious the VOG police would be after me. i did not say fully extricate. i have been clear that i solds down from 42p to 34p i think it was. i added a lot back at New Year, then out again (not all) for AMER rise. I have traded a bit - as has PB and most others. what's not to like?

Heading to 12p ish u til sept news

.

Someone sue Proactive. "Analysts think" is not "WILL" and 2022 is not "soon". Disgusting reporting.
Paid workmanship IMHO.

happened to our four brokers?

kicking a guy when down

do not see massive volume. GSA is bull in china shop.

bit late now, but a 25% equity raise when we were at 25p would have put us down to 20p while generating about £50M which would have taken debt sub 500M and boosted FCF and lessened general concern.

hold tight

"rise today" - but fall tomorrow?
"priced for bad results" - but not for impact of shorters.
still a coin toss.

Earth to metro...

(Chairman is suing, not daughter)

Hold on now - we do have a new website! And whyyyyy? Because the cac last one was supplied and maintained by our chairman’s daughter who is now suing us. Probably threatened to turn the website off.

Flip a coin

I guess if any buyer deducts the BOD pay, which will not be necessary, future profit goes waaaasy up.

no, i am not saying that willec. think of Antiques Roadshow Vs Bargain Hunt. in the former, the expert suggests a price and the seller will decide if they are then interested in selling. in the latter, the seller decides to sell and the competative buyers (if any) then set the ultimate price. Stifel's views hitherto were akin to the former situation. They are, to some degree, irrelevant now as the sale sign is up and the bidders are now considering their bids. (Though I do not think it is the case, I like Gary's point - some bidders, like M&P, could bid others up! - all depends on how bad someone wants an asset/going concern).

worth balancing Stifel's thoughts in any event with the fact that there were many other brokers with varying views. Stifel likely appointed because they could wave some 'science' before the interested parties to up their bids. Peel Hunt had reduced us to 20p only a month or so ago.

... which could be greater than 37p.
We shall see.

on the other hand, Stifel did not have the option to put a target price on either (1) a competative bid situation, or (2) break-up value.
