I would not say Waitrose have absurdly high prices. They have some base items on a par with Tesco. When in UK we only go there in Worthing. But they cannot make coffee. They recently had something all their stores called expresso. After a word from me spelling corrected!

QIn broad terms the exchange rate is .74 pounds to euro so 15c = about 11 p. Remember that the dollar and euro are almost on parity

Well SP creeping up now 68.25 sells 14k buys 260k looks quite good

The final results came out on 24 March so surely Q1 would not be due until 24 June? The AGM is shortly on 13 May so you could ask question there if you are around.

Some big purchases but too small to be institutions to cheer us all up!

You have not mentioned the RNS of 27 April. On Interactive Investor. Chas Stanley nominees have acquired shares to take them over 16%. Does that cheer you up?

Surely these are only produced when there is a notifiable event? If no RNS nothing to report!

no obvious cause for concern. Yield 3.45%, EPS 4.49, P/E 8, PEG 0.3, EPS growth 29% last year, Brokers consensu only 1 buy, Looks good for this £42 million cap. Courage mes Braves.

Good 6% rise today. Deathly hush from everyone - why?

Uncrossing trades are used by MMs usually at the beginning or end of trading in order to balance the books as it were. For instance they may be long or short of a stock and have to buy in or sell on to another MM.

Large purchases yesterday ex the offer. What is going on?

Surely as the proceeds are in cash in exchange for an authorised share the cash can certainly be retained in the ISA and then reinvested. Even if it had been shares European ones are almost always allowed in an ISA. I cannot see what circumstances HMRC would disallow funds for a cash offer from anywhere. And now AIM shares are allowed in ISA so that is no longer a problem. I have European shares in my ISAS - Yoox in case anyone is interested. And for that matter in my SIPPS, Yoox again, Fidia and Maire Tecnimont.

Under Stock Exchange rules I do not believe you are allowed you are allowed over 30% without making a bid. You cannot take that amount and leave it. Of course it can be problematical the other way. look at O'Leary trying to take over Aer Lingus. Three he is stopped by the Irish Government and they are forcing him to reduce stake - but so far he has not. I am invested in Ryanair too.

Quite agree over Lads especially when there are all these others to choose from.

According to the latest report and accounts there are no offices in nor business with (Greece. Today the ebb seems to think Greece will muddle through. We shall see!

Wow!

Surely the uncertainty about Greece is now. Once the Grexit comes (probably in the next month) the uncertainty is removed as will the election result. When making an investment or disinvestment best to get on with it. You may miss the boat otherwise.

Not only is the div safe it is increasing and extra special ones as well. Remember that the markets are unregulated ones however. I bought this share over 2 years ago. At that time it yielded about 10%. Now It has doubled and still yields 8%. You will not find many shares like this. One of my largest holdings.

This non exec directors last two purchases were 40k @ 54.48 on 18.3 and 10k .@ 57.5 on 8 April. Hardly presaging a bid I think and why does such trivia need reporting to FCA? Makes no sense at all.

When in UK I was a member of Mensa so had a high IQ actually.Hopefully still do although a anni multi.
