The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
Come on let's all go it. Tenner each. I will do it once I'm back from the pub
Shall we all just buy £10s worth today, spread over 10 Mon intervals? See what happens? I'm up for some fun today
Not now you've finished him off! Dirty sod!
Great. Let's keep throwing sticks and stones at each other then lol
In front where I belong?! No need to answer that
Barwickman. You remind me of a kid sitting at the front of the school bus wishing you could sit at the back like the cool kids. Problem is, you have nothing at all worth saying other than worshipping some on here.
Basically you are in panic mode because of the sp. And you wanna cuddle from doggo. You really are a bit of a Jessy desperate to feel part of a group.
if i was a gambling man though (which i am) i would bet that doggo has a poster of baywatch on his wall with loads of ladies surrounding david hastlehoff, only hes probably the hoffs head out and replaced it with his own, completley convinced that it really is him in the picture!
ok... thats might bit of fun over, im sure none of what ive said about doog is factual, i havent got the time to research it properly!
he probably watches an episode of 'The Professionals' every single night pretending to be Bodie, whilst playing with his toy gun?? stranger things have happened. i once knew a guy who was self proclaimed genius admitting to the fact he liked wearing nappies under his jeans as it was like a comfort blanket thing? self proclaimed experts always have something to hide... its why they are like they are :-)
clearly doggo is having one of his self-appraisal moments. its like watching a man self-justifying his very own importance and position in the world... let alone on this board. i can just imagine him when he was younger complaining to every teacher that they had marked his exam results wrong and he deserved an A star in every subject.
its a personal best for me.... i got as far as the second line of odonnells post before falling asleep at my desk and falling on the floor. i normally last for 4 to 5 lines!
I have zero interest in vemo education doggo. Most people on here have zero interest in vemo. It's not new, not unique. And it is insignificant to our pf.
Vemo is dremo. Get over it.
And then the 3rd question is when portage IPOs? Oh blimey....
Regarding the IPO question for Emmac, and our mcap, I guess the second part of the debate is....
What happens when juv IPOs, how much for, and what does that do to our mcap?
Hence why I guess.... We don't really care about the current SP ATM?
Morning all!!!!!
So emmac. Yes a valuation of £400m is what is expected and so our mcap should be double today's. Or should I say.... Will be double todays
Probable hold up is endeavour not ipo'ing just yet due to market conditions. They are waiting. So normally, during this period, going on an acquisition spree isn't the norm
Robrob. The last sake bid of leap was not unsuccessful. It was rejected. Big difference. Leap is a piece of dust to endeavour. CEO could buy it on his credit card. That's not a joke btw
Good board today. Yes a little edgy at times but some good comments and different perspectives.
At the end of the day, none of us have all the answers, intact we don't have any answers! Just questions, frustrations etc etc.
I'm off for the evening now but I will leave you all with one final point. I've made it clear I own companies, some of you have seen them. And yes I know none of you give a 'feck'! But.... I do understand the lengths it takes to build a business. Ffwd just adds to my portfolio, and I know some of our investees will come good and in time we will be rewarded. But boy.... Do you need to hold your nerve at time! I've done it myself, and I invest in my own business and never go for funding. It comes straight out of my pocket.
Sometimes ideas work.... sometimes they dont, but I am confident on ffwd. We have one or two good eggs in the portfolio.
Enjoy your evening everyone
Robrob, that's not what everyonene is saying. What we are saying is that leap will be sold. We just don't know when. But it will be sold. That's guaranteed
When our sp is down here, it gets us all thinking, and makes everyone concerned. It's human nature. If I was in a one trick share right now, and the sp was on its knees, I would be worried, very worried.
For me personally, irrespective of the current SP. I'm happy with leap, which will get sold eventually. I'm very happy with emmac, happy to enjoy the ride with juv. Factom I'm not so sure about tbh. But we will see in the next year.
On the whole this board is pretty positive. We are being tested to the limit now though.
And I agree... What I say is not in the slightest bit interesting, but whilst we are where we are.... Might as well break out into a bit of fun.
Doggo.... No offence intended to you.... Just having a humour day. Don't pounce,just banter
