hope it pans out for you! gl

all we are doing is giving our shares to staff

interest rate rise pushed back so shares go down! bot muggers at work

suppose it was inevitable given the amount of foot dragging

I know. I have them too and have had since 2008/9. Difficult to see a house price collapse given the long term outlook on rates right now and as far as TW are concerned its segment of the market looks reasonably well underpinned by incentives. I have long hoped for a a share buy back to unwind the massive dilution we took in 2009 but I guess I can whistle for that. But heho I have had worse in my portfolio.

6.5% sustainable yield and commitment to a rising payout makes me wonder what has taken him as long as it has. Still most institutions have been too scared to invest in the house builders and have missed a phenomenal recovery since 2008 when admittedly TW hung its shareholders out to dry. Another prime example of the lack analytical capacity in our fund management industry who seem only too willing to roll the dice an invest in some spurious E&P company promising el dorado in some untried and unproven province in deepest Africa.

perhaps a professional spammer paid per post

the event will probably be swamped by Corbyn's rent-a-Trot army masquerading as "ordinary Labour" voters lapping up Mc Donnal and Mc Cluskey's vile socialist propaganda. An event best avoided at all cost.

Its a rolling submission which started at the beginning of April and hopefully will be completed by the end of 2Q

"when president Corbyn takes over your country" clearly not yours then so wtf do you care what we decide wrt Brexit?

yes you are right. There are two issues to consider here. One is the apparent immunity of directors who invariably forget that they are there to run the company on behalf of the best interest of its shareholders. There need to be a change in corporate governance law and scope of sanctions needs to be widened past the blatantly criminal. That board members are up for election so it may well be down to a change in shareholder attitude esp the face less institutions which seem to block vote BoD members through year after year. So much of the blame lies here with these lazy index tracking weasels who gracelessly and shamelessly take extortionate fees for doing diddly squat. Secondly its its a question of culture and attitude towards shareholders in general. Politicians especially of the Left naively see shareholders as toffs and not grafters like themselves or everyone else in the ' working classes" So it was no surprise to hear Brown and his Cabinet frequently state that it was ' right and proper for the shareholders to take the pain and be held responsible" ie soaking the rich again which is an old Commie/labour motto. Of course little do the morons realise that the unions they all belong to all invest in the same stocks as the rich parasites they worked do hard to support . Things are changing slowly, activists are getting on Boards and institutions are beginning to vote against pay awards. but just early doors sadly The laws need to be strengthened in favour of investors and institutions should be put under greater scrutiny as to how they justify the fees they charge. Of course you have a choice as to where you invest but then there is little to differentiate between the institutions largely mediocre and as indifferent to their investors as they are to behaviour of the BoD they invest in on behalf of others. Conclusion both need a kick up the jacksy. Let me know when you find some one who can do it. gl

clearly there were some key issues that should have been addressed differently. the FSA and BOE however at the time and in the face of media hysteria forced the banks into writing off any loans and or assets they perceived at risk which is where many of the banks lost the billions you intimate. The BOE and others perceived that this was the best way of avoiding a systematic collapse of the banking system and forced these losses ultimately onto the shareholders. If they had not done this the banks would have been able to a sell maybe uptown half these distressed assets for 90 pence in the pound as opposed to the 10 pence they got. So yes the banks pursued risk in oder to satisfy investors' demand for higher yield. Leverage then did the rest. But the regulators panicked and on advice from some of the boys at Standard Chartered at the time who saw an opportunity to nobble the competition forced the banks into the fire sales we saw. At the end the Govt and tax payers got their money back and some while the shareholders got it in the rear. it was ever thus

They will do what they did last time and put a german in charge of any "wayward" regions to establish some discipline coax them back into the Euroland fold.

French air traffic controllers are striking every weekend until the end of the summer as well. Its gratifying to see that socialism is working well in France. Something to look forward to over here.

hi there . you seem to have forgotten some hedge funds were shorting the shares so not surprisingly perhaps they are using their mates at the prop desks to make some of the money back they lost yesterday.

"high eurozone unemployment threatening recovery" says IMF 0.4% growth in eurozone GDP down from 0.7% the previous quarter lets keep the argument balanced eh?

I take it you are short then lol

“The populist Grillini-lega coalition ‘s beliefs have the potential to smash the Euro project” and “ Italy is a eurozone accident waiting to happen “ don’t think we want to be around to pick up the pieces somehow

never mind chaps we will be ok we will find a way of bringhin in Irish spuds etc. i think you had better look at at what is happening in your EU now the Italians have opted to tear up the rule book and are about to tell brussels and Berlin to shove off.

Its depressing for sure. day in day out the shares are being sold. Either investors are losing patience or they are not convinced about the company's ability to bring this drug to the market and or its applicability or chances of acceptance. I guess we should take comfort from the fact that the big institutional investors appear to be sitting tight.
