George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
Having read and digested the board here for several weeks its hard not to detect there are some disgruntled investors.
At the end of the day no one is forced to invest here or anywhere and the world of investing to me is emotionless,everybody wants a fast buck.
Sell your holding if you believe you can do better elsewhere.I believe this will come good.
I have no vested interest in Tesco,my wife works at the Hatfield extra and has been there 21 years.All i would say is in that time i have witnessed a solid employer.My wife was a former team leader,paid a considerable amount of money as compensation when the role was axed.Likewise i believe when premium time was altered it was phased in over a period.The SAYE has never let my wife down.
To anybody on here with negative thoughts and comments,go work in the building and constuction trades.Friday morning you have employment,by 4pm the same day you dont.
Should of gone to Wales last year which was cancelled.The company gave me £300 of vouchers to compensate.We also received a £500 bonus for earnings per share reaching £1 and a hamper at christmas.
There is a reason that the 3 of us have stayed the years we have.
This is starting to resemble a company i invested in a few years back.One individual who claimed not to be invested posted daily,always negative comments.Willing the company to fail.
Buy for 180m sell for 8billion sounds like good financial judgement to me.
In addition i would say that a B and M opened near us and after much nagging i went there and was in and out in 3 minutes.Went straight home and jumped in the shower,itching and scratching wondering if i had caught fleas off the people in there,and that was just the staff.
An eye opener to the real problems in this country
Going large,you make a very salient point.I thank god that i am in a position to use Tescoand not have to count the coppers.My own personal view of Lidl and Aldi is they serve a purpose but its good fortune if you can find the same item a week later.
Morning Arsenal58,fellow gooner myself.
Yes,is the answer to your question.I have been with them 20years and watched them grow.
There are big hopes for Computacenter USA,now a 2000strong workforce.
I work for the company,20yrs.Soon to be opening in Romania.
USA starting to look big with Pivot now on board
I used to read this board under Rose every day until some jerk posted as much negativity as he could.His sole aim was to see the company collapse.He wasnt invested here,just got a perverse pleasure in others misery.
If he reappears,i am off
Morning
Sorry to hear about the circumstances with your wife.
My own opinion is more than ever we have to look outside the box,so to speak.The days when the wife stayed at home and Dad worked 9 to 5 are long long gone.
I have no issue with pensions but think it is short sighted to think they are the be all.
The pension provider is in business to make money and keep there shareholders happy and myself and others were dissuaded from taking all our money.If everyone did there would be no shareholders and no pension company.
Finally i do believe our kids should be taught about financial services and their workings at school because few have any idea of the future they are walking into.
Morning Sid/Everyone.
If i may i will explain my/wifes position.
Me,in receipt of a pension from Bae systems.Wife receives Tesco pension,also due to retire this Sept.
Rewind to 2014.Wife and i decided to take 25% from our respective company schemes,my wife commenced her one and only pension.I paid the additional tax and took the remainder which we banked in Isas.We imediately commenced new pensions with our companies.The monthly pensions we receive have been used to put £500 each into our respective company SAYE schemes.My wifes Tesco shares which she bought and kept have netted her £8000 special dividend with 13000 shares to sell as and when.Mine should net approx £100000.
The pensions we recommenced in 2014 have again been taken,this time both have paid all taxes and lump sums put in tax free Isas.
We will retire with approx £220000-£240000 in the bank,sheltered from tax.
End result is 2 x state pensions + 1 company pension each will give us £2000 pcm.
Personally I would rather have £220k etc under my roof than a pension fund where the money can go up and down like a sparrow on a dung heap.How much will a company give you per annum for £220k ?
