Funluving - Bonum did say Company Secretary not Typing Secretary. From my experience they tend to have a good angle on what's going on. Co Secs I've worked with have a big part of reviewing the commercials in contract negotiations so if he's smiling at the mo it can't be a bad thing. Let's keep it positive guys - last year was a pig by any standards. Hello and Happy New Year to all by the way.

In denial about wearing specs!!!

1. Take over speculation. 2. The market is slowly building up trust again now that the previous mgt are down the road. 3. All the bad news is (or bl@@dy should be) burried. Observation - If we get anymore bad news/surprises from now on we are well and truely sank. Another onservation - no mgt buys - is it possible they are all on tight leads in case internal buys fuel speculation re T/O talks?? If So shame the last two company dealers weren't controlled as well.

Hi Campden and Gotya. Very depressing reading but unless Nero is at the helm I fail to understand how such a view can be circulating at our level AND the Lam SMT not even contemplate your/the (respectfully) alleged state of the company. If what you say is fully accurate - A the Banks will pull backing very very soon. B Within a short time the Co would be insolvent C This would trigger loads of contractual issues between LAM suppliers and LAm customers plus worker pay. D the company would bomb out quickly E another company will move in to pick over the bones at a massive discount, Sorry for stating the bleedin obvious - just demonstrating the point your making There has to be a positive slant to this? Why are institutions not cutting and running now ? If these issues are being aired at our level surely they are being boomed out at SMT and significant investor levels? Wouldn't you also expect SteveL to be watching this coming - I very much would - and he's by no means stupid? Very much hope your both wrong for Mr Owls American girls' sakes (It won't be Prada but pie and a pint time).

Deep down I follow your thought train which is why my losses have not been chrsyalised. Why havent' the management bought into their own company at such low levels though? A few 'cocks on blocks' so to speak, would calm investors down significantly.

The million $ question - does Mickey Mouse wear a Lamprel watch? My hands are firmly sat on for the moment. Loads of points raised all valid. If we've seen the internal memo I'm sure other far more significant investors will have (Mr Owl excepted as he's a significant). I would have over stated the losses if given the same chance thus creating wriggle room at the end of the year. I honestly cant believe any CEO would have the toddler mentality of jam today - stale bread tomorrow. Familiy owned or not everything has a price to sell - especially if proving to be a big pain in the butt. All this penny share day trade shorting isn't helping either!! Kind regards to 'the board'
