No comment here on the appointment of our new COO? Another way to burn the PI hard-earned or a wise investment in top talent?

givetheinfo: pump and dump? Are you kidding? This is not AIM. Take a look at the trades page and you will see that there are thousands of pounds being exchanged every minute of the day. I doubt that 1 in 1000 of those traders has ever heard of our chat so are hardly likely to be affected by anything said here or on any other similar forum.

Maybe after such a long and steady rise this year some profit taking spooked the holders when the share issue came out. I trust that was the bottom because last Wednesday I bought back at 163.6 the tranche that I sold at 180.

Ditto here Liberalman. Saw your tip for this on HSBA, now do we hold or take a nice little gain? Thanks again & GL.

Well chartist view did not work out there but that was because it was trumped by news. The share issuance in September to raise £76m seemed to go down like a lead balloon and punctured our steady rise this year. That money was for investing in new projects so I don't see why it had so negative an effect. Highlights of yesterday's results show we are on track and have delivered: · Total shareholder return for the period of 10.4% (annualised), based on interim dividends declared plus uplift in NAV per share in the six month period. · Aggregate quarterly dividends declared for the first half were 3.82p per share (2015: 3.72p); on track to achieve the Company's aggregate dividend target of 7.65p per share for the full year1. · Value of the Company's investment portfolio up 7.9% in the six months, based on the 30 September 2016 Directors' valuation of £2,189.9m (31 March 2016: £2,030.3m). I must admit I sold half when it started to drop but am now looking to get back in again and hold for another year or two.

Megan, although you can buy at 4.29 the previous day to get the divi as stated below, the mms usually mark down the share price by the amount of the dividend on ex-div morning. You get the divi but lose it again on the sp; so with dealing costs that short-termism does not often pay. Usually better, as also said below, hold on longer term and re-invest the dividends. AIMO.

For a share price to close higher on the day after ex-div than it was on the day before ex-div must be fairly unusual. Keeps on giving.

That is brilliant. LSE software found a naughty word in the middle of S C U N T H O R P E !

Loving your ramps SUF, but I thought you were not going to post after coming home from the pub (Sat 23:32) lol. Latest result: S****horpe 4 Southend 0 - I presume SUFC is the Essex one, not S****horpe or Sheffield United?

We jump up at news; RBS & LLOY drop. Strange?

Stairway to heaven :-)) Routine AGM yesterday and up a further 1% today. Happy days.

Yes, after all the Brexit crashing of the last few days it seems some sensible types have realised this is a solid place to be. Approx 14% up in the calendar year 2016 and good divi to boot.

2% up in half a day. That's volatile for this share; cannot remember seeing that recently. Five times as many buys as sells maybe telling us something?

We have risen approx 8% in the last 3 months and are now riding high. Enjoying one of my few successes in the last year.

http://www.thevistavoice.org/2016/03/24/legal-general-group-plc-lgen-coverage-initiated-at-bnp-paribas/983414/ Brokers rate us generally as a buy. I know the FTSE is down today, but this is down double that?

Suspension tomorrow and no more trading on LSE. Smidsy, Robsky from the MAGP crew and all those others here from the early days: our boys have taken a hell of a beating but we are holding on for the Canadian $1 party. I have traded this a few times but kept a core holding since day 1 on AIM. Even tried to buy half a million at less than the 0.19 going rate at the bell but the mms were not having it. Perhaps this board will remain open for some time yet. Asta la vista guys.

Not sure what you mean about accounts GC. Dec 2015 figures released at end of last month and available to all at seDar dot com.

The only bb over there I have seen is that mentioned by smidsy earlier; Stockhouse. http://www.stockhouse.com/companies/quote/v.ede/edge-resources-inc They call their bulletin board 'the bullboard' - which I think is highly appropriate in many cases.

Morning belgrano, Also with Barx and had the same info as you on the phone this morning. Not an ideal situation; with shares now worth so little it seems hardly worth selling and buying later on TSX and incurring the fees involved. I think I will risk just holding on and trusting they can transfer them. Opening an International Account is free but they charge a 1.5% commission on top of the trading fee.

Smidsy, Good afternoon (or perhaps not lol). You did not reply to Robsky asking which broker would charge for managing the Canadian shares. I have not rung mine yet, thought I would wait until after the weekend. If it is £100 per year then my shares once worth tens of thousands and now only hundreds would be hardly worth keeping. GL anyway.
