The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Im incredulous if the performance criteria have been waived.
I think investors look at the badly managed alternatives
My view entirely. Ashley has a minority shareholding he needs more shares to control the company otherwise what is the point of him being involved.all shareholders have to do is hold out he is bound to try offering a bit more.No doubt institutions will give in and sell.
Ashley only has 38% of Game. If he wants to control the co he needs more . If shareholders refuse to sell at 30p surely he must increase the offer?
That's the thing with gmd, i've always hung on because it always should be worth a lot more than the current share price but it never takes off as the market thinks its gonna get wiped out by online at some point.
Offer is too low deffo.
Finaly gave in and took some profit on this simply because I'm 20% up and previous bad experiences elsewhere have taught me to be cautious.
I think the theory is that governments can print money up to the point where it causes inflation and you would stop long before it degenerated into hyperinflation.
I suspect its lunacy masked by some inpenetrable gooblygook from those advocating it.
Any active pi should be horrified about all this. Audit opinions look like a waste of ink...how can you decide anything if figures can be so wrong.
Utterly untrue, my opinions are my own formed from every bit of information I can find, I have invested in retail many times, most recently Tesco hence my contribution to the Tesco board pondering whether removing fresh baked bread and other counters was a good idea. It's called thinking...you should try it
Your selective abuse about that was pathetic.
Simply trolling people who don't agree with your simplistic "it's gone down so it'll probably go up again" views is laughable.
I doubt whether a throw away line on a single post about Tesco bread has incurred your wrath!
Evaluating shares and thinking about potential purchases is surely a main reason why people use these boards.
You seem to think the purpose is simply to ramp share you already own especially if you got it wrong.
Oh and I am a very serious investor.
Pretty obvious to everyone except mad Mike that this was going to happen. Why on earth did he think the CMA would swallow the line about cost savings benefiting consumers?
This can only be a total distraction for the company. People might start wondering now what other decisions of his are errors of judgement?
Still a great place to shop.
I think the heritage was violated when private equity bought it.
Hereshopin ha ha ha very good point!
Guardian reports that the issue is that government doesn't like rmd division being ringfenced for lenders as it would make the rest of the group valueless and they would be unable to award it contracts.
They also say that the company refused to share the PWC report with the banks. I wonder what was in it?
Begs the question what on earth is the point in paying for an audit? Just paying hundreds of 000 pounds for nothing that can be relied on.
Firms might have to find some other way of reassuring investors their financial statements are accurate as these chartered accountants don't seem credible.
head of grant thornton has explained to mps that it is not his firm's responsibility to ensure financial statements are correct let alone detect fraud....explains a lot.
And of course the media is now reporting that Mike Ashley is bidding for Patisserie Valerie!
Seriously.
I nearly spat my tea out laughing when I read it..
