Davde Where did you get this info and what is left to sell in America ?
Man in a bush you can still keep shares when you retire and your bus pass, but you will loose the reward scheme, save as you earn and buy as you earn rights . Oh and not have to set the alarm clock for 04 20, The save as you earn will cash out and the buy as you earn will just stop investing I think you can have either cash or shares.
There is tax implications with the buy as you earn if I remember right.
The way I understand it is When a company makes a profit each share receives a dividend and when assets are sold each share should receive a dividend because the physical value of the company they bought into. has been reduced and the super or special dividend is to compensate the shareholders for the reduction in asset value. If the company was wound up and all the assets sold would you expect a share of the proceeds, I know that I would.
Hi just been reading back through posts on here. 11 02 2021 Jonny two toes " What is stopping carpet baggers clambering in ?.
In a word fear. This share is volatile I have ploughed in and up to now looking good. Very hard to value but how can north of 100 not be a good bet. I have seen before asset rich company's collapse because of debt.
Uk gov seems happy to support public transport but for how long ?
What will everyone do regarding sales of petrol diesel cars?
Why is information not coming out regarding U S sale ?
Hi Pessimistic is my middle name Recently january lowered my average 125 down to about 100 paid 75.69 had to invest a lot of money and was very un- sure because I am already in heavy. I just thought is it going up down or staying the same. In my opinion if under 100 it is under valued difficult to establish the company value ( looking beyond the numbers) I just hope that I did the right thing at the moment my investment in january is up over 21 % AS I have already said sale will be a bonus ,I think it will put the books straight regarding debt and pay a small "special divi" I do not know why there are so many sales today I am a strong buy not ramping up just talking.
Thank's PYUECK I regretted my last post but a good outcome so hey all is good. I read your posts and appreciate the effort and detail .
I do not think that many if any people would think that a chat site replaces the need for due-diligence , although some good information can be gained and all opinions matter. Check out freetrade app. not just free trades but good information and easy to use just avoid buying or selling while drinking.
I find troll posts an annoyance and pity these sad people.
( you know who you are 08 09 2020 ).
I find it better to ignore and work round these people like you would a turd on a pavement.
Good luck in the new year to all
Abouttime You do not have to apologise you have not ranted. My comment about watch out for the chat police was aimed at PYUECK very rude comment " don't say anything if you have not got any thing sensible to say" very rude and no need .
Happy new year everybody.
Lets keep it polite least we can do .
Talking of ranting what happened to World go around and Dennis dominator and Dennis dominator 2
Hi About time, you little ramper watch out for the chat police.
spent more on these shares in the last week than I should have done but my average must be roughly 100.13p Thought I had won the lottery when I checked my Aston martin lagonda shares. but no 1/20 what a trick. This does not do bad trolls galore on some of my other stocks see Aston chat Chill out babe merry christmas
Fanofirst My average 125 very rough estimate I worked for SYPTE and received a lot of shares free when they were privatised. I purchased a lot through BAYE SAYE BOGOF and put money in when I was flush on the open market trying to catch a dip over many years.
I had these shares when they were worth 800 I did sell a few thousand at 500 and when I signed up to buy on a SIP at 20% off I sold the equivalent amount of shares at full market value.
I could not understand some of the people I worked with ( bus engineering) they sat on thousands of shares ( worth full market value ) and said they could not afford to sign up to the SAYE at 20 % off £5 notes at £4 a pop yes please. Good luck
Good luck with the 250 ish you never know , They were looking good before covid .
I have just signed up and use the App freetrade have a look.
Still smiling Ha Ha Happy birthday tickled me
Ha Ha Just got that joke Happy birthday
Did hit 72.65 yesterday
Sorry to to be correct the twelve month high was around 133.7 Feb 2019
I think this stock is cheap at twice the price When this stock fell to the likes of 30p I did not have any confidence and thought that the writing was on the wall.
The six month high and the present value is 69.55 the twelve month high is around 110 ish . I am seeing bus full all on the blinds of buses over the country ( I know seating is socially distanced ) I thing that once the vaccinations have been done more and more people will be using public transport and going back to the office.
I am sitting on a lot of shares costing me an average of 125 and think it is time to invest.
I am going to make my average under 100 sit another six to twelve months and when the US sale completes that will be a bonus.
Good luck and merry christmas
I agree an absolute bargain 6 month slow rise but could make up the 12 month loss very quickly. I am in heavy at average 125. I travel the country and bus blinds are saying sorry full. I know it is because of social distancing but think that the public ,once vaccination is done will run back on buses and back to the office. I am buying and dropping my average below 100p.
If I was not all-ready in so far I would throw a lot at this one. US sale is now just a bonus in my opinion. Very cheap at twice the price. ie I was not confident back in feb at 30p.
Good luck and merry christmas
Wow massive buys on friday 2M 441K 77K 63K 10K
Not a directors deal but what the share needs could rocket
I will consider the large sales on 13 th and 20th November as sales lets see if same thing happens today at close of trading.
I would have hoped the value would have gained more , the value pre epidemic was around 100 and I considered under valued.
Major concern about the big picture working from home , moving away from public transport and help from government . Will the world ever be the same again regarding commuting to work and centralised offices. We have been warned about Public sector pay freeze and Tax hikes borrowing has reached peak in my opinion.
Ouch Yet again Fan of First group 20;11;2020 @16;35 sell 676,866 shares @ 61 35 £415.26 K
Exactly seven days later.
When Centrica sold the AA share holders received a one of super dividend.
When First group sell off American interest's should they forget the share holders and just carry on regardless . Head- less chickens.
Pyueck Have you noticed the tiny trade 03; 11; 20; @ 10 21 50 7 shares £2.85 L.O.L.
Good luck getting an up-date.
First group fast becoming an empty carc'ase, sell U.S , sell First bus and dump Franchise.
In my opinion sale will only help to lower debt and at best a small dividend.
Sorry am I getting this wrong Leyand leopard do you mean that these small deals are save as you earn or buy as you earn deals.
Yep you are reading it properly.
There seems to be a good few of these small director deals .The number of deals will not impress anyone it is the amount in hard cash that will show confidence.
Strong buy at this price .
With the chance of another lockdown and further public control required fall was to be expected but will not last forever,
Ryan Mangold is the C.F.O. Holds 272,232 shares 12 10 20 most purchased on the open market I think he is perfect for the job and will have the company's survival and the 100,000 employees at the very front of any decisions while guiding us through rough times.
Ryan came to First group from Taylor Wimpy in may 2019 . A top bloke and if anything too good for his position.
Jimmy Groombridge is the employee director.
I watch director deals very carefully and I have previously stated that to my knowledge Jimmy Groombridge has never sold a share.
What are the latest B.A.Y.E. and S.A.Y.E. prices.
Hi Thunder 2040 just wondering did you invest ( regarding your post 08 09 20 ) Down over 7% to 47 72 investment for the brave. I did not invest at that point so not that brave it would seem.
They are still only 39 12 ( cannot go wrong HEY '' don't kid your-self).
I almost jumped in glad that I did not. But that 40K is burning a hole. I am pretty sure that the ratios are still OK so I do not understand the lack of confidence., just up in the air at the moment.
I suggest strong buy but timing has never been more important.
I do not think this is a quickie.
