Member Info for CHEATED

Why complain? I understand that the market performance is a bit chaotic to say the least but the virus has allowed me to re=shape my portfolio and get rid of a lot of losers. i have to be grateful for that because what I reinvested in was bought at rock bottom prices.
With VOD I am quite happy topping up today. At least it pays a decent dividend and that is a big bonus in these trying conditions. Cheer up, fortune favours the brave.

The new shares will rank equal to the old but the company has been watered down by the RI, so all is diluted and works on the system that you can have a' one pound share' or '100 one p' shares. Because of the dilution the shares are worth less in value so dividends will be smaller but this seems a long way off.
Hope this helps.

I would be worried about another rights issue in or around March when the present intake evaporates.

It seems Warren Buffett was right in dumping airline stocks. An old dog knows all the tricks and we should learn from his wisdom. I think air travel will never be the same again unless we adopt the lemming mentality and on our peril, ignore the dangers that it has brought to the world. There are probably many other less dangerous diseases transmitted by air travel that we are not aware of. IMHO.

SFO does not take Into account the business practices of foreign countries. As they represent a country which pillaged Africa they have no moral high ground to pass judgement on other countries' business practices. They should start to investigate
themselves. They are not patriotic anymore but seek to make a quick buck to justify their existence.

They would be better employed investigating our corrupt politicians, especially how the Treasury Dept. handled the destruction of Sirius Minerals.

Perhaps that is too near home for them.

We all lost money on Sirius. Hopefully all the hazards have been ironed out and the project rests in honest hands.

I have a feeling that the London Stock Exchange is being corruptly run by criminal individuals for their personal gain. The logical attacks on certain sectors at a regular interval are too pronounced to be accidental. Banks this week, house builders the next, then retailers, etc. There should be a lot of sackings of top management to clear the rats out.

The whole system is corrupt and how the Asian market can affect a share like Persimmon really takes me to the cleaners. it even affects the National Grid. do they really think investors are completely stupid?

Sold out, with a small loss but did not feel like forking out more money for a rights issue. I have accepted the idea that business puts profit ahead of lives and air traffic contributes greatly to the spread of virus diseases, whether we like it or not.

All air traffic should be suspended for 6 months as it is harmful to the health of the world.

Safety is very important.
1/ Passengers' temperatures should be checked before boarding. If they are high, they should be refused admission. They could then be issued with a refusal note which entitles them to a full refund.
2/Latex gloves should be issued so that all can be protected from anything they handle on the plane: toilet doors, magazines, seat belts etc.
3/ Face masks could be optional for all. Refusal means the passenger travels at his own risk.
Other suggestions could be taken on board at the discretion of the airlines. Let us see positive responses by them to get us all moving again.
addendum; I have been a heavy investor in this firm but I because of this virus I have lost a lot of money. We need reassurances, not government criticism.

Recovery set-back protest but what about the airlines' part in the spread of the virus? No apology here.

Good for you but make sure you book through a proper travel firm. if it all falls through you may not get your deposit back . I have cancelled my villa booking in Portugal for July.
Because I booked from a private individual, I simply lost my deposit. The balance is still not due yet. Thankfully I only lose around £800 instead of £5000. There are little or no guarantees with private bookings.

Do not trust politicians.
Airlines can put a lot of pressure on them like the bankers and they simply cave in.

Try putting the rest of your money into Highland Gold or Polymetal.

You might get better returns. their dividends are still intact.

i would just like to know how an airline can make a profit if its planes are only half-full.
Nobody has come up with a business plan for this event.
Maybe it is as simple as pulling rabbits out of a hat !

We live in a dangerous world. Why take unnecessary risks! Crossing the road can be hazardous enough at times. How we ever reach maturity amazes me. Our ancestors survived the Black Death so we may be fortunate enough to survive all this. Keep the fingers crossed. We must appreciate Warren Buffet who showed some wisdom and has survived to maturity.

Dying isn't much fun. it seems to be ok if it is the other fellow.

This is a new form of biological warfare. I am convinced that North Korea has a hand in it somehow.

Let us be realistic, the airlines are mainly responsible for bringing this dreadful disease into the country. We are living quite some distance from China, so there was little chance of the disease taking off the way it has without the contribution of the airlines. Now they want to contribute a second mutated wave of the virus to hit us. Air travel is dead for the next two years.
Also dying is the concept of free travel in Europe. We really have to ring fence our country, much as it may displease many adventurous souls. There is such a thing as video conferencing which should enable the business word to keep rolling without expensive business class fares.

I am getting really fed up with the present see-saw movement of shares. i would like to see some definite action here. We were promised a split but where is it?
it is like a divorce court where people wrangle over who gets grandma's bone china set. It could boringly go on for years.
Also for a large' pharma' firm it is not making much progress in a corona vaccine. We should get an update about how it is progressing.
We need a' split and progress' report.

Demonstrates senile decay !!!!!

Should slip further if MKS sets up its own food delivery system.
