It is quiet on this board but when there are things need attention someone usually steps up. It is a share chat I like to read but only when there are new posts. I mainly worry that the fantastic profits of the last two years, from £1 to £2.75, are too good to be true. I try very hard to grow my investment here as it is currently too small. I also like the healthy dividend four times a year, and the company seems confident it can maintain them.

Thank you for your correction about Post Offices not being part of RMG. We live and learn. I still enjoy my part ownership of the brand...

As I have said before I like to invest in companies I like. Perhaps if I were a postman I might think differently but I am very fond and proud of our post office network. I love my post and parcels delivered to my door. Our local post office is where we take out all our day to day cash. So I am gradually adding to my holding, oh and I too like the dividend.

Does anyone know how many SRON shares will entitle me to one CORO share?

Thank you for your recent post. It has prompted me to update my research on SAT. The new satellite really looks too good to be true, but I believe it! I explored these shares after selling my holding in Inmarsat a fun company to own, that did very well for me. Inmarsat had become too "accepted" to excite me any more, though they did launch rockets! SAT's idea of using satellites to access the internet really appeals. Think of places like Scotland, Australia, America and Europe where there are large areas where it is difficult, impossible or expensive to run broadband cables. What finally decided me was the reasonable cost of the SAT service. They also make sensible and quite frequent acquisitions that they seem able to integrate quickly and economically. I really believe that this AIM market tiddler will grow into a very international shark of a company unless some behemoth, deep sea octopus, comes along and gulps us down. Certainly 10p per share is very likely quite soon.

SMDS reported reported a fall in pretax profits after "substantial rise in costs" in the six months to 31st Oct.They were 1% lower at £144m. A rise in corrugated box volumes supported half year revenues, 19% up at £2.8bn.

Thank you for your informative posts. SMDS is one of the companies that I have a monthly investment which I will keep up until it reaches £20,000 pounds, probably by the end of 2020. I am really pleased that we have made the footsie 100. It is even good that The Motley idiot has at last alighted on a really solid investment. Don't let the fool's view influence you... unduly! The main reason for my strong buy rating is their solid growth, and geographic expansion.

I went but am not quite sure what to tell you. The main early point, that seemed unanimous was the promise of a particularly exciting 2018 for investors in our AIM market gas companies. This was a carefully stressed early point, that has real reasons behind it, but our leaders were unwilling to elaborate on those last night! There was a distinct unwillingness to state when CORO would actually come to market. There was a statement about the number of CORO shares SRON holders would get but I managed to miss what was said, sorry. The promised shareholder meeting will be "early in 2018". CORO will be 46% owned by Private Investors and will be well funded from day one. The usual update on SRON wells were all positive. The most definite figure was for SOUND. Every trillion cubic feet of gas recovered will add an incredible £1.50 to the SOU share price. I did not find it easy to translate what was said into normal English, so if I have some of this wrong please correct me.

I have managed to average down the price I have paid for SAT to 7.25p so am already in profit, just. I would really like to up my holding but have o spare cash. Keep a watch on the fundamentals on this page. I think as these figures improve, which they must, the share price will follow. In particular note the yearly improvement from 2014 to 2015.

Target price for EQN is 345p. however their today's target for Lloyds is laughably cautious at 55p but this being a new coverage may have been better researched, especially as both EQN and Lloy could be similarly affected by Brexit. As I have frequently said my broker is called courtier and is expecting 330p by June 2018. You read it here so it must, probably will, possibly might, be right.

I started buying RMG when I thought they were under priced about September this year and am adding when I can afford it. However that is not usually the way I choose my companies. I go by my image of the group. Who wouldn't want a share of all those red vans, Post Offices and pillar boxes? One of my pals has just retired after working in the Post Office for a lifetime. It is unusual for me to alight on a share when it is about to increase in price but they have managed well over 10% so far and seem to be increasing daily.

It is good to see the price over�3 again, after weeks in the high �2.

You could change your supplier, there are some good Satellite people out there now...

I have only just read the RNS about the bolt-on acquisitions. One of my main reasons for buying SAT was their track record on expansion. I am really impressed with the choice of these three companies. They fit perfectly into the SAT strategy, as I read it. I am even more impressed when I read that there was no further debt involved. What a sensibly run company we are lucky to be involved with. More users at a stroke. Continuing growth abroad. I too am concerned about a takeover, but in my case it is fear of others managing SAT, they can grow by themselves.

I bet that the big players out there knew about the share suspension before it happened. They would want to reduce the number of shares they could not trade to a minimum. So they sold as many as they could and in doing so reduced the price. We are just stuck with that price till we escape suspension. I am honestly expecting a good gain when we are CORO and back in business even without any added value from the combination activities. At this price I would certainly be adding to my holding if only I possibly could, but frustratingly I can't. I am also expecting somewhat frantic buying when we return to normality. 10p here we come...? I am looking forward expectantly to the share holders meeting on the 6th December and thank you fellow posters for informing me about it.

192p and still on a rising trend. Surely more investors will notice us soon. I am hoping the continued investment in new venues will continue the upward share performance.

IItis always good when more expert investors support your companies. I bought at 300p some 3 0r 4 years back and have never had any regrets. I bought because: Everyone needs packaging. They are a growingly international company. They are carefully expansionist without being greedy. The 5 year graph on (this site) is just amazing. The shares seemed reasonably priced. The governance seems sound. And yes, the expectation of 575p is certainly not unreasonable. My one doubt was, and is, if I (ethically) want to be in a packaging share.

I am genuinely surprised at how out of touch I feel since we went off line at AIM. I do not post often but read everything from OBONE, LEGACHE, MIKEINMANC and of course K3VMC. I find myself opening the Selftrade (my share broker is Selftrade) messaging system most days in the vain hope that there will be some news. I understand that part of being grownup is exercising patience, but perhaps at my age I am becoming more childish again. My only comfort is that I think, I am fairly sure, almost certain in fact, that Gas production will increase again this last Quarter of 2017. More income must be good for shareholders like me, mustn't it... There should be an option 'Buy When You Can' when posting here.

31 October, Peel Hunt, upgrade, possible price 575p
