So I see, you have to know what you are doing to shell out that kind of money.

Don't think so Stocky, where did you get that idea when the brokers are all going for 60p or more.

Got a sneaking suspicion he did it deliberately when he found out what a mess he had gotten into. Personally I think he deserved the honour considering the shambles he had to sort out when he arrived at LLOY.

I dare say they will be doing their usual div declaration in the next three or four weeks, wonder what it will be? A J Bell showed some healthy results improvements last month; I don't see why Jarvis should not do similar.

Bit like that git Lord Sugar then - old style management no longer required in the modern era where good people management is essential.

Problem is that being fairly labour intensive means covid absences are likely to affect next results.

DLG is NOT an obvious target if there are no large purchases this morning.

My son bought at 29p - early in Boris's panicdemic, didn't he do well? He ain't selling yet though.

Can't see final being much more than what Morbox just wrote and don't expect the buybacks will have made much of a difference. However, that would still make a highly acceptable yield. Next question is have they got enough cash to do a special last done in Aug 20, I suspect not as it's getting a bit late now.

Yes they all did and at some nice prices, it will be an option scheme of some kind at the end of a successful year. Makes me very curious as to what the final div will be but we won't know that fro another couple of months.

A decent management would not have tried it in the first place.

OF course, missed that bit TBH - getting a bit too old in the tooth. Happy NY

Didn't know that "schoolboys" invested in shares. Anyway, I am well able to read a Balance Sheet and P & L account and am not impressed with TSCO's recent offerings plus having to sell off some businesses which they are unable to operate successfully does not speak well for the management team.

So what will they do with the rest of the cash?

Completely beyond my understanding why an average sort of grocery shop producing a yield of less than the inflation rate should show such an increase in share SP.

Trouble is they have no more idea of what to buy than you and I. I have a couple of shares which have beaten their suggestions for the past year which were not even mentioned

All this has nothing to do with the rubbishy non returns of BMN. It's like generating excitement over Joe Blogg's bakery just because people might (or might not) eat more bread next year.

Why do folk bother with HL, does seem to offer anything exceptional.

Yes and a woman that wants a new kichen is a force to be reckoned with.

Agreed Gazzle, One of my bros was a plumber.....actually an essential and highly skilled job who often made more than me (accountant) in a good year. People get desperate for plumbers but not for accountants LOL
