"Britain is failing to roll out enough public charging points to match the growing demand for electric cars, the SMMT adds.

The number of plug-in cars potentially sharing a public on-street charger jumped from 11 in 2019 to 16 in 2020. That 16:1 ratio is much worse than other major economies, such as South Korea (3:1), the Netherlands (5:1), China (9:1), France (10:1), Belgium and Japan (both 13:1). " Source ; Guardian today.

Hopefully something Mitie can benefit from ?.

Of course there is a risk the bond issue may not be fully taken up, but LTHs have lived with financial tightrope Tullow has been walking for quite sometime now and, for once, this has to be seen as a very *positive* initiative from Rahul et al rather than the 'company threatening' financing scenarios we've being living with, one after another, to-date. Some bondholders will be supportive and re-invest, some won't, but given the recovery strategy for the company and the generally accepted 'forward view' of a healthy future oil price, then why wouldn't new investors be attracted by the good coupon rate offered ?.

EOOA, thank you for providing the comedy interlude today. You can go now.

"A number of large block trades on Friday which investors said caused big drops in the stocks of a clutch of companies has raised speculation about what was behind them, with Goldman Sachs said to be a bank involved in the sales" .... why do I have a strange feeling that Goldman Sachs have something to do with this, given that they keep buying into, and then out of, TLW !.

Opinions based on (for example) where the price of oil may move, or what might happen when lockdown ends, etc. etc, are not opinions based on facts. Facts are things that have already happened or are immutable. In most cases the opinions shared on this board are typically guesses, hopes, opinions based on trends, assumptions and are welcomed ...... but in few case they are based on the poster having ulterior motives. The lesson is, never make investment judgements based on what you read here .... including anything I may occasionally chip in !.

Companies hold shares in Treasury for purposes such as this, and so wouldn't have to buy any shares or increase the total no. of shares issue.

Never had any before when buying TLW thru the broker. and I've bought so many times. Maybe I've been barred. Oh, the shame !.

I'm repeatedly getting 'Negotiated order' when I try to buy some more TLW shares , I think there could be a late surge in the SP today.

If the SP can keep it's head above water until close of market today, then this would be a rermarkable result given both the disappointing news from Suriname PLUS the huge drop in POO today. Come on TLW, you can do it !.

Just bought a few more to add to my growing collection of TLW shares

"An Iranian container ship was damaged in an attack in the Mediterranean, the state-run shipping company said on Friday". Oh I wonder who did that?. Hope it doesn't escalate into anything that affects POO.

Ftsefan, keep holding !. My average = 57p and when it was down at 9p I held despite never really expecting to get my investment back ... but I have !. Fortunately I bought into RDSB at £9 so that's made a huge difference.

London Stock Exchange site indicates that we are definitely not yet in the list of FTSE250 'constituents' (as they term it)

Filling orders, maybe ?.

Lemming99, I'm not worried in the slightest about the presence of shorters, they can hold their positions as long as they choose, but when they do close there is a huge quantity of shares they will need to buy back .... and that can only be good for TLW's SP. Bring it on !.

The military may be helping, but having just checked ...... "The rollout is the responsibility of the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), working with NHS England, NHS Improvement and Public Health England to co-ordinate vaccinations across a large network of vaccination sites including in hospitals, GPs and pharmacies"..... according to the Institute for Government.

I had exactly the same experience about 3 weeks ago, fabulous organisation and very efficient. Obviously organised by the NHS and not by one of Boris's elves. I understand the vaccine programme itself was setup and managed by a venture capitalist called Kate Bingham who's done a truly brilliant job.

I think the Final results were fairly neutral based on what we previously knew, but presented with a positive future outlook. Together with the FTSE250 news I think we really will now see the major shorters (ODEYous, et al) start to fade from the scene and I expect them to begin their exit in the coming days and weeks. They will of course try to lower the SP to help them to do this but I don't think they will be very successful.

........ and if the results are neither good, NOR very bad, it may well turn out to be the point at which shorters decide to pack up and go find another company to screw, as they should at that point realise they're not going to bring TLW to its kness with their nasty practices and that the company's SP is more likely to rise in the near term than fall.

That mirrors the situation with my shares, too. Apart form a couple of cases with small remaining 'deficits' in my portfolio, BT is the only share where I'm thousands down. It seems to be a perennially 'unloved' share and just needs some good news to surface for a change as there'll beplenty of underlying interest in the stock once it gets a bit of upward momentum.
