I have to say reading this thread, that things are deeply troubling.

When Blair was in charge at least he would of tried to find the centre ground. I think it’s fairly obvious now that
Labour under Corbyn are hopelessly out of their depth.

I can’t understand how people don’t get this guy and the party ! He is and will carry on shafting everyone
How does he expect pension funds to perform under his direction, business hates the man.

Absolutely scary.

I would say it’s a sector wide drop. I read Smurfit rejected a bid last year, there has been some director
buys lately. Growth is good according to the recent statement.

What’s not to like, it has to be a bid contender. I’m also impressed with this Miles chap running the company
appears confident and has a brain, not your typical accountant CEO.

I’m building up a position and have been for a while.
Buying opportunity it’s got to be

The big institutions are not receiving leaked information. They are receiving guidance as they are large holders.

That’s the game. I’ve been around a long time , I know how it all works

The big institutions have more access to information from companies, than the small PI. The door is open.

It’s not acceptable in my view but it’s part all of how the market works.

I read your previous posts Hardup your new to investing you claim !

It shows

At the end of the day, dear old Trump understands business, and has no problem expressing his opinion to add
growth to his country, his job.

Look at the shambles that is the FED, he has told them to not get carried away with rate rises, the market wants cheap
money.

Shame he can’t come over here and sort out the dreadful Mark Carey our Bank of England lightweight.

Aviva is struggling like most of the footsie due to our countries weak leadership. This should be £5.50 but due
to the lightweights we have calling the shots, we are paying the cost.

So what would you rather have a leader who has pushed the Dow to new heights or the load we have who have
long abandoned their own people in search of their own agendas.

To the cost of us the shareholders.

Bigger picture

I have to say I can’t understand the rational about constantly bashing Trump.
Someone has to take on the Chinese and try to make it a level playing field.
What are the other options, Clinton’s, Bernie Sanders or comparisons here
Corbyn and May. Obama’s.

Businessmen need to run country’s, its so blatantly obvious, because they are the only people who tell it how it is.

Politicians are a disaster for business at least Trump has run a company.

I would suggest share holders refresh themselves on the May 2018 statement on future returns . What’s changed
since then is more houses are going to be built but materials will cost slightly more.

Margins of 21/22% is not going to erode radically is it !

In summary then what was the point of the high powered Capital Markets Day, when large investors attended just
to be misled.

Hi,

The share price can’t break £4.35, and has drifted down on no buying would be my opinion.
It’s hardly getting hammered.

Good Morning,
I have had a brief look on the Internet reference our interest in this region.

I came across an article late Oct 18, stating that Shell were still committed to the project. Having been invested in
Namibia also Shell have taken stakes in these licences and the process takes time to conclude.

It’s not easy dealing with Africans as they like to alter terms and conditions on large companies. I can’t seem them
Controlling Shell though.

With all this in mind our stake there has to be worth something of significant value.

As a prudent investor, I can’t see the institutions letting us go for just book value as a oil producer.

I would not be surprised if we are a lot far North of 46p.

Just a few thoughts on a Friday,

Good luck to all holders.

I have commented before, and can only reiterate that the pattern of behaviour from the company appears to be
that of a company in negotiations.

There has been no correspondence for nearly 3 months which only heightens the case of a Sale in my opinion.

Hey, I don’t comment very often but I wouldn’t discount a serious take over here. The CEO has done it before.

I have seen this type of activity a few times, the share price held down, then out of the blue the RHS comes.

Fidelity, are also in my opinion a very good fund to have on the share register, I topped up after their increase.

I was in Salamander when they got acquired by Ophir, so I rule nothing out.

Here’s hoping.

Cheers.

Laird. My opinion for what it�s worth, is that most of the market has come off of recent highs. Lots of large cap companies out there that are on cheap valuations and offering good divis. The shares traded daily on Laird looks to me like the Algos just turning volume, small, nothing. Recent article about Apple drying up has increased the sell side on no volume. In between Q3 and Q4 the bots are therefore making the most of the news void to the sell side.Apple has regained most of its loses , laird should also. It�s just a rotation with unfortunately no buyers for Laird at present. Personally, I am not concerned, I view it as a buying opportunity, not that I am topping up. On the bigger picture the short term view is interest rate rises which are tiny in comparison to the bigger picture that is the economy is ticking along with no great catastrophes in the pipeline. At the end of the day every company listed is over anyalised and investors would not bother investing as the short term broker notes unfortunately seem to forget that most investors invest for the longer term. We have no alternative than to believe the guidance given to us after Q3, so I am happy to stick with it.
