Hi trading4good, not being sarcastic or anything, but maybe they would offer you a role in launching their product if you contacted them, another plus is your investment ? I also believe in this share, FWIW.

Yes, reason for the high dividend is that, in spite of it being well covered and IMB fcf v ev being very favorable, most funds convince themselves that tobacco is worse than alcohol or sugar, etc,..

Sorry all, it's Goldman that cut from 290p to 270p recently. I'd ignore Barclays because their price target, yes 145p, is based upon a Rights Issue taking place, in which investors could participate anyway and RR and IAG have done well after theirs.

These RMS guys strike me as a group of young Cubs trying to complete an exciting new task and not as what we require, that is an experienced dynamic pro-active aggressive team hungry to lead and dominate the mid and higher margin part of the safety Mask market. Elon Musk's approach provides a good example for these cozy and cozy, option obsessed directors. I continue to hold a substantial investment but have deferred by retirement.

Pirateflag, Barclays may be reducing their Rating so that they can buy cheaper, who knows ! BAB are down today, but Barclays still have a 270p price target even if achieved yesterday. As economy opens up, BAB will continue it's upward trend, all other things being equal. But DYOR !!

Agree Tdaves, they are just not good at starting the production of masks. I believe they are also arrogant and too greedy, and coupled with lack of experience in manufacturing, there's a toxic mix. How many more shares are they going to justify issuing to their friends, etc... I believe this will eventually - how long is that you may ask - come good, but Patience is very much required. They should have gotten in an expert to begin with and properly monitored the Spanish engineers who could have done their work via Zoom. The production of masks should have been tested in Spain before leaving Spain. These are all basic procedures we apply in the small company (€6m turnover) I work as an accountant at. I hope they have time to supply these masks for this pandemic, otherwise we'll rely on health care workers and/or the next pandemic !!

Totally agree Sheungy. Looked at the results - briefly as so much there !! and achieving what they have done, all increases along with dividend are the envy of most other companies. They'll reduce their debt because reasonable div cover and have a good variable strategy going forward with many products, all despite the regulatory headwinds. I have enough shares, as also have IMB, so not buying more, but would buy if Cigs Shares not 11% of my portfolio.

Trying to understand what exactly Bitcoin is, what its relationship is to Blockchain and how it is valued, etc.. My understanding is that there will be a max of 21,000,000 Bitcoins, that there are maybe 17m currently and that one can 'win' Bitcoin by solving some complicated puzzle/calculation before other competitors do using a powerful computer and software which costs £2k+ when someone uses Bitcoin to buy something. Blockchain stores details of the bitcoin transactions. Find this all very confusing, still haven't got my head around Bitcoin mining - is it physical or some type of digital mining ? - and how bitcoin is valued. Tbh sounds like a complex game and not a respectable alternative currency....I'd verymuch appreciate a simple explanation from someone who does understand the cryptocurrency animal

Yes, but selling too early, even with a profit, is an opportunity loss, eg sell here at 3p and sp is at 8p by xmas. Accurate Risk v Reward required.

Can't see why the engineers couldn't have directed someone else to commission the machine via Zoom last week ? This is where true quality management shines if it exists.

Fatprofits, GSK could provide 2022 Guidance if they wanted to, but they are splitting the co into two separate cos and that makes the exercise much more difficult
to be accurate. Re AZN, they weren't accurate at all with their C19 European vaccine production were they, so wonder how accurate are their 4 years of Guidance ! Any fool can bang together some figures, but it's the accuracy that's most important and that's why some cos prefer not to provide rather than do it inaccurately.

DrugMePlease, Are you asking the thousands of employees who work for GSK that question ?? Ironically, when GSK have developed their Covid19 vaccine will you take it if offered even if your life depends on it ? By the way, I do and want to own GSK shares !!

The fall today is only unrealised and only relevant if you're leveraged. Better to avoid CFD and leverage.

Toff, I must say you sound very much like a writer, top marks in English I bet !! Maybe your forecast will be correct, but standing back from it all, it's pathetic that people actually engage in financial activities that aim to crush a company whilst they probably operate as living spouses and parents. Even Adolf Hitler was known to tell a good joke. I very much am against shorting, recent Reddit Robinhood activity should wake up the authorities to how wrong it is. Why not rent our homes to someone for a fee so that they can short it when property prices are very high ?!! GSK commits to its 80p div for 2021 and even if its 2021 is 100p then 1300p share price is still a very good 13:1 P/E. Can't see what the fuss is about. I've a large holding here plus other High Div stocks, eg BATS, VOD, IMB, etc....and will not be selling GSK even at £10 !!

Incompetence !!

Can't believe this. Can't the engineers work remotely and use Zoom/Skype to instruct another to physically do the work. These guys are asymptomatic, they can work from isolation. Deep cleaning for Covid can use 'gas bombs' or whatever they're called, a quick effective solution. I wonder is this just another excuse, has anyone seen proof of the tests. This guy Legge hasn't a leg to stand on, I'm steadily losing patience, the BBC news mentioned P2F last Nov now it's Feb !!

Think the 5 year plan is good, guess some are never satisfied !! Bought at 1473 Friday allowing an 8%+ div and can't see it falling much further, if at all, given the positive price targets by Barclays and others

ESG strategies are a joke. Sugar Oil, Weaponry, Alcohol, etc.. 'kill' people also !! All about perspective !! My portfolio now 11% cost in BATS and IMB for their growth prospects and great divis !!

Wonder if the fall, another 3% Friday, relates to selling by Hedge funds desperate for cash to shore up their margin calls on GameStop, United Airlines, etc..targeted by Robinhood hordes ?

We could do with the Reddit horde buying shares here !!
