Xenor, 10:11. Could it be that the markets are responding, softly, softly, to Shell & others criticism of their curmudgeonly values?

Usually, in a rally, it’s 100 first, then 250 etc. but the upthrust seems to be more encompassing this time. Also, Harl seems to have kept an ‘even keel’ though selling pressures appear to be quite high. The LSE may be listening?

Marcosino, re 18:04. Blairpeach is an excellent poster, his command of the English language unsurpassed on this board. He is a fan of IM and doesn’t like ships/ building and the like. He is fully entitled to his opinion. Your comments are crass, ill considered and readily opposed.

Si_Derman is THE go to referee for all things sea-going and all things in the South West.

All IMO.

I feel that Shell have mooted de-listing too many times recently to be insincere. if it sacks off the LSE quote it will cause panic and more large companies would pick up their skirts and head off for sunnier climes. I don’t think anyone is happy with our MM’s values atm. I agree with Stokey12’s mention of high volatility if Shell de-list.

An 8% drop in the ftse index is hardly a pimple. The article, I think, re-inforces the brief discussions on the board a week or more ago. The UK is heading towards financial backwaters.

Correct Si_Derman. Of the £77m for Belfast, £12m was to come from Harl!

Fwiw, I doubt that H&W will want to publish the 2023 results before revealing the ‘new’ finance package, as I expect these to be quite ugly figures.

So the latest I anticipate the finance deal to be announced is third week in June.

Regarding IM, three months will have expired, shortly, since the review. I’m expecting their findings in the second or third week in May.

Bubble 22, 16:11, Hope your right. Unbelievably, We haven’t had a TR1 notice rns since Kave dumped early last year. Roll on summer!

Kaeren, ‘don’t punch your partner before June?’:)

Stokey12, correct but I think brokers trawl both exchanges to find the most favourable price

Dawski37, Kaeren imo is a good poster. If you find a moment to look into the nature, context and humour of the post referenced by the straw-grasping BearleyCalls it may help avoid any mis-understanding of the intention within the post:))

Scaffman, 09:09. I think andymck was simply defending LSE03’ s excellent posts from the scurrilous attack by BlairPeach and later, (FormerFD, TinyTim, TheDogFarther, GailGirls, BearleyCalls). I know what posters I appreciate and read and those I choose to pass by.

Well done to LSE03, and many others too!

There seems a certain inevitability about it. Personally, anything would be better than the current stupor.

Stokey12, 11:41. If some of the sells are in fact buys, then the bid has already dropped but isn’t recorded in the mid. However, it could also be that there’s a biggish order being filled.

Those chunky buys may give us a little tick up if there are no more big sells, it would be a nice end to the week!

Si_Derman, cheers for that, I must have missed it multiple times too:))

Broomtree, 13:15. I’ve wondered for some time if Consuela is a lady(as in female rather than ‘ she’s no lady). If you can confirm, that would be wonderful.

Lottie123, as they say “Better The Devil You Know”.

The board is, of course, for everyone and everyone has their own opinions. I like to savour all posts as I feel it provides a better all round view of the comings and goings of the company, together with samples of how H&W are regarded by us, the public.

Naturally, views and opinions will vary but I think it’s important to get all of the colours and flavours rather than just beiges and vanilla. Each to their own I suppose.

SONIA is a floating rate and does just that. If your loan is based on SONIA it will float so when one accepts the loan on this basis doesn’t matter. As with your mortgage there are many types of loan that a business can accept to borrow capital. It is always a question of the lender looking for as much as they can get and the borrower looking to contain costs as much as possible.

Consuela , 09:21. A little disingenuous. Firstly you would probably have no knowledge or interest in incidents at Cammell Laird. Secondly, you do know what Stokey12’s point is, as do we all. You appear to contribute nothing to the board other than to denigrate H&W at every possible opportunity.

All imho.

The important factor is that the contractor’s whole is larger than the sum of the subbies’ parts.
