If she was a share the IC would be bearish

Sorry John. Have had to jump ship as I needed money from somewhere. Also IQE. Shall keep an eye on it - and you!

Why would that happen and if it did the Sainsbury offer is still on the table.just look at the share price. Market believes the higher offer or another will prevail.

I agree. To sell in the middle of an arbitrage is bizarre.

You should get your money back in spades. This is a well run excellent company.

In Alice in Wonderland there is a quote "curiouser and curiouser". And here it is. Why does hole in 1 only post on this site? I think we should be told. When I was an investment adviser my clients were ALWAYS fully invested including corporate bonds and index linked gilts. The dividend total rarely went down

No sign of Alicei1 now with or without governess. Excellent results as those of us with kudos expected!

Just topped 180. You wait till the results come out!

So you did not get the joke of the Board of Governesses? Why will interest rate rise in UK suddenly improve the pound dollar exchange rate. I should expect that to have the precisely opposite effect. But what do I know as a previous lecturer for the Bank Education Service and latterly on the Stock Market in West Sussex.

So the reference to St James's Place? Is that discretionary or advisory. Either way are not their charges very high compared with others such as IFAs for instance?

And today FTSE down; this is up. That is what stock and other markets do!

Better to make a profit and pay cgt than make a loss and not pay it!

I do not think our Alice fully understands how markets work. Also she lacks a sense of humour re The Board of Governess! And now discourteous as well! As they say, the female of the species is deadlier than the male.

Certainly not. If the market is disappointed or there are profit takers you often see unexpected falls.

Yes you are right. Why not sell half now and the rest after tax year?

I have checked the board and apart from the excellent APB most of the directors joined well after 2008 the exception being Ward who was from 2005 but we will not hold that against him.

And might Walmart still get involved.We know some of their board was in UK a couple of weeks ago.

Board of Governess sounds interesting if a SDM fan and the black whole! Good thing we do not harp back too much or every company has its dark moments. Would there really be same people on the board now as then? I think we should be told.

Nice way into Sainsbury without paying commission if shares. Remember there is still possibility of others!

As I said this morning, still in play. I do like contested bids when a holder!
