I'd happily give up a divi for a higher shareprice mole. No point in a good divi if you lose more on capital reduction!

The BOD are clearly failing in their efforts to increase the SP and improve returns to shareholders. This is just stuck now at around 74p, which is way below most holders' break even price, I'm sure. It really can't go on like this much longer without somebody taking responsibility for the continuing dire performance. I guess the warning signs were there when Margherita got elevated to the CEO job from within. Fresh blood would've been preferable and maybe if that had happened we might be enjoying a much higher shareprice now! And does anyone trust the CMA to do the right thing? With UNITE's influence over Labour, I fear the merger will be blocked and maybe their ongoing campaign to scupper the deal, is why the shareprice is so moribund. In any case it's certainly a s**t show! Buying in here for the dividend has ultimately cost me dear!

I bought in largely based on this disparity so feel misled for sure as I assumed these "professionals" know what they're talking about! I believe that the broker targets still could reasonably attainable though once the macro environment and therefore sentiment improves. In the meantime it's a case of holding and hoping!

I guess that's what it boils down to robleo, luck! Judging by the lack of posts, it looks like most have given up on making a profit on this, anytime soon! Maybe this time next year!

The 31st August was no doubt just an arbitrary date put out there by Rowland to buy him time to conjure up a suitable arrangement with Redwood bank. I suspect his plan has run into difficulties, hence the silence 🤐. I guess this was always an extremely long shot anyway, especially when it's dependent on unreliable players like Jonathan Rowland!

Apparently, Labour want to grow the economy. 😂

The SP only seems to trend down no matter what progress the company makes. It's certainly been a hopeless investment for me with no sign of any improvement. Awful!

That's a hard one, robleo. Everything I own is struggling to maintain any gains. My biggest regret is selling RR and buying in here and elsewhere but I don't see another RR on the horizon. I bought into PRU as it had very positive broker targets but it's been in a constant decline ever since. TBH, I've no idea what to buy, robleo so might just stick here a bit longer as my confidence is rock bottom. I did take a small punt on Aston Martin 2 days ago but so far that's gone backwards! Making money in stocks is very difficult ATM!

It's inexorably heading back to the placing price in the absence of any sales news. This is a complete joke of a company. Maybe their genedrive machines are not all they're cracked up to be. There's definitely something amiss!

Far off current targets as to make them meaningless!

I wonder how these steady results will affect brokers thinking on their projected shareprice assessments. It would be nice to start making progress towards some of their existing price targets. I guess there's a lesson to be had as well i.e. don't pay too much attention to broker price targets. I mean PRU is so

Shareholders have been led up the garden path by successive BODs and CEOs for a long time now. I used to believe that Genedrive's products were going to be in big demand, once proven to deliver. It now looks like the NHS is not bothered about purchasing either of its recent pharmacogenomic in any volume. Has it all been an overdone hype job? It certainly feels that way. I mean if the stroke test is now signed off by NICE, why is it not flying off the shelves? Doesn't make sense, unless medics prefer laboratory testing, despite the longer timeframe for results. I've lost thousands on this turd!

At least it's stopped going down but if 74p is the best it can do, then, what's the point? And with a much reduced dividend, why would anyone buy in? Maybe it's time to get rid again! I guess the only slight positive is the prospect of lower interest rates, which might ameliorate some of the debt concerns and so boost the SP but I won't hold my breath. It really is a sorry saga for VOD shareholders. Meanwhile, Margherita et al are doing very nicely!

Here's praying for better than expected results early tomorrow morning with an accompanying shareprice boost. God knows long suffering shareholders deserve some respite here. It's certainly been an unpleasant experience, which if future guidance is maintained or enhanced, should be a thing of the past. Onwards and upwards! 🤞

Zilch! The silence is deafening and becoming a little concerning.

Obviously, God was having a laugh when He placed so much of the world's oil reserves in the Middle East. Libya now causing problems! It's just impossible to have stability for anymore than a few days and it all stems from a weak and ineffective US regime.

But neither side wish to invite devastation on themselves, Robbren. There would be no winners!

Hezbollah have done it for them. I reckon there'll be attempts made to de-escalate as neither side will benefit from an all out war. Lebanon certainly doesn't want that nor do any of the other big regional players i.e. Jordan, Egypt, Saudi so I suspect there'll be attempts made to allow both sides to step away from the brink but in a way that avoids the appearance of either one doing so from a position of weakness.
