Rugs, don't be despondent. Yesterday there was a purchase of £19k after hours at 7.89. This share is ridiculously cheap.

Sorry the purchases should have thousand on the end!

I don't believe the price is low because of the privately owned ones. Anyway such people will prefer a high price unless they are daft. Much activity today including purchases of £40 & £20. Obviously not corporate purchases so people who are buying for value. I have had these about 12 years. In investment where there is good value patience will always be rewarded.

Sorry the placing was 1PM - hope I did not confuse people. At least up today in a poor market.

Interesting purchase of £1.6 million worth yesterday. Wonder who by?

Have just been ploughing through the annual report which is anodyne and suitable inscrutable, It seems to say they are now a financial holding company on the face of it with an enormous increase in profit enhanced by bar charts. There is almost no mention of 2014 dividend except to say that the special one in the autumn of last year was in respect of the 2013 accounts. On page 33 they say"The dividend policy adopted since April2011 has been a pay out ratio of appropriately (odd word) 20% of net post tax profits attributable to shareholders. They go on to say that they have decided not to recommend any further dividend for the 15 month period ended 31 March 2014, having already paid out in excess of 20% of earnings for this Reporting Period". Make of this what you will.

Hi Mr Jones. Just taken up the little placing here £75. Very good that small shareholders allowed to participate. Sir Richard Branson take note. Bought some more LGO (just a few) in my ISA on a switch from Cairn & Naibu (the latter a disaster)

£52k purchase today. They were dreadfully cheap at 47p and still are now!

I understand there is now an open offer of 1 for 18 broker says at 61p think he means 6.1!

I too have had my BTG shares for years in my SIPP. Had always wanted some for the long term. They are going as I hoped. They have such a lot of interesting patents etc. Why are Finn Cap so against them? Any way snubs to them. Excellent to see a huge purchase of £840k worth today.

What is HH and what relevance does it have here?

3 large trades bought today totalling £66 k at these bargain basement prices. Small companies always get hit in a bear phase such as now. However sitting on a 5 bagger in Leni Gas very relaxed about everything else at the moment.

So sorry to hear about your wife. Will check out the 2 interesting propositions you mention.

Scottish ancestry (Shetlands) but the men kept marrying sassenachs! My father was in the Scottish horse regiment but was sadly killed by a mine just prior to d day before I was born. Will look at Quindell. Latest purchase is Tyra Tech in interesting things like anti toxic head lice lotion. Just got into Boots etc

A splendid and erudite answer - many thanks. QI am sure you are right but being retired well out of the loop now. Nice to hear from someone sensible and clued up - unlike so many who post on these boards.

Apologies. Have now looked up Pensions & Investment Research Consultancy but it is not a Government body but an independent body established in 1986 particularly with regards to pensions. I confess I had neve heard of them despite having been a pensions expert when working! Why are they needed?

What exactly is Police Investigations & Review Commissioner doing? It is a Scottish Body - not a UK government one?

Last two posters de ramping. Why? What do they own if anything? what is there interest here? A sound company with consistently good results. The IR matter is not priced in nor their expansion in USa a which will be much better than the two aforementioned gents think. Competition is not huge in USA owing to anti gaming laws in many states.

If you are getting scrip and want cash in future just contact the registrar who will alter it for you,

Frank Attwood bought 115k share February last year (other than divs)
