I think Carlisle is principally aimed at the US (New York) flight market via Dublin (with pre-clearance for immigration/customs). Hikers though may work as extra icing - it certainly did for Newquay for a while (not sure if it still does). Regional airports are a good business in any event -most people want to fly from somewhere close these days and the queues etc are much shorter. In terms of repositioning, what about biomass? Good steady income from long term contracts. As for crown jewels - they still own half and diversification means it's not quite such a cyclical share tied to the economy which a straight road haulage firm is/was. Anyway, I think around this level is a pretty decent entry point and I reckon it will get back up to 130 levels on the next results assuming they are half decent like the current ones (but without the one-offs as in this one to muddy the waters). As for Tinkler, how much skin in the game does he have? I assume he's not going to want to shoot himself in the foot.

Passenger numbers increased by 19% at London Southend Airport to over 628,000 passengers in the period; London Southend Airport rated best UK airport in Which? customer satisfaction survey for second year running;· Launch of Flybe services and positive discussions with potential new airline partners. Maintained interim dividend of 2.0p (2013: 2.0p) per share payable on 5 December 2014 (yield is currently excellent by the way - over 6%). Underlying profit before tax up by c110% (the overall loss for the year is due to finance charges from debt repayment - but lowering net debt is a good thing) Net debt reduced by 94% to £8.1m (28 February 2014: £127.9m) What's not to like? It's been repositioning itself. Of course you could buy in once it's done, but then you'll pay more.

And I see someone has bought 70K today!

Give it a rest sain@vision - the record's stuck. Take a look at http://www.cityam.com/1414110222/southend-could-take-50-airlines-circling Southend is doing well. I think Carlisle will do well too (especially for the London to Lake District crowd - ever tried driving it ? - the motorway's a nightmare). And as Tinkler states, the energy-side is pretty much collecting the cheques annually once set up.

Odd, maybe linked with RNS with some II's reducing their holdings a bit. Mind you, also seem to have been lots of chunky buys well above the Ask?

Except if you read at the end it says: "Updated Oct 2 1745 ET to reflect that bill has not returned back to Congress, only that it may happen". Sounds rather speculative to me! So no, probably not?

Maybe Piketty is right. Inequality levels are at a high. If the poor (including the middle classes now) are not paid well enough then the capitalists at the top lose out too in the end. No money to spend = no profits for the supermarkets.

What has sent price down this morning is not the sales decline - that was already priced in - but rather the uncertainly of having to wait until November to see what will happen to the dividend. When Tesco dived it was because of the large divi cut. If Coupe was keeping it intact, surely you'd tell the market now? To not do so plays into the hedgies' hands, as people have already said this morning below. Unless Coupe is planning a shock surprise for the shorters in November (maintaining the dividend as is), when they will get burnt?

Tipped in IC on Friday. Goes ex div on 1 Oct for 5p interim. Forecast yield is still nearly 7% even at this price. Looks like a great cashflow share and because of good divi, not likely to be your typical Aim yo-yo.

By the clampdown on competition - see http://citywire.co.uk/money/the-expert-view-travis-perkins-tate-and-lyle-and-rbs/a774351?ref=citywire-money-shooting-gallery-list#i=4 (Mony has never used the MFNs under scrutiny)

This is the SL smaller cos IT - ticker SLS (a company in its own right) - you're confusing it with ticker SL.

Alibaba is 2%+ of holdings here - bodes well with IPO ...

Yes indeed. I bought in a tad too early the other day but good to see bounce today. Yield here is very good and has been rising well for a number of years. Cover is respectable though would prefer if it was over 1.5.

Let's hops so after today's fall!

Do you look at US shares? How about ARCP? Can't work out whether it's bargain or basket case.

Can't see it dipping much from this level until next news and, assuming positive, I think we'll see it back up to near previous highs; if exceptional then we may go beyond them, but less sure of that.

Greetings Jolly - long time no see. I bought in here a while ago and am awaiting lift off to take me back into blue ... Drop seemed rather overdone to me.

Decreasing not increasing? But in which case when stopped, will also explain rise?

Snap! - we must have been typing at the same time...

Awarded to GOG, hence rise today.
