Our dear departed Darryl the C is suing for termination cash AND his share options. Must believe they have value. Every cloud.......

'Call the fuzz!' Crikey Fort, you must be almost as old as me!

M&G has various funds with shares in many companies under the management of those funds and trade these shares occasionally. This Form 8.3 shows in the top left corner that it is issued by M&G and at 1 (c) 'Name of offeror/offeree in relation to whose relevant securities this form relates: ' discloses that the form relates to shares in SCS, not the other way round. These forms issued by various companies can be confusing as they aren't necessarily in the exact same format but if in doubt check the figures - M&G's holding of 3902891 shares in SCS as disclosed in 2 (a) (1) is 11.94% of the Issued Shares of SCS (33.95m). So it's M&G declaring that they have sold part of their Fund's interest in SCS and have done very well there as following a takeover announcement at end October, SCS shares have increased in value by 67% awaiting completion of the takeover. The M&G Funds are probably holding on to the remainder as the takeover price is cash per share plus a 10p dividend per share held at the date of takeover.

Absolutely Bozi! I'm astounded that any PI with a SOLG shareholding could be thinking otherwise at this stage of the game!

Mind you I'm not voting to give them licence to issue confetti shares. I would need to know the purpose for the issue.

As the man known as 'Chairman of the Board' (Frank Sinatra - if he was our Chairman I bet he would get things moving!) said - 'if it flies, floats or f**ks, just rent it!

An article linked to Ecora Resources PLC on Google Finance comes from InvestorsObserver and mentions amongst other things that ECOR has an SP of $91.90 and is listed amongst the 'Medical Devices Industries' in the S&P500.

A link to their more expansive observations reveals that they are discussing Electrocore Inc -ECOR - US version!

I've long thought that AI contributes a lot to this, at times, comedic circus that is Financial Markets, and if I'm correct, isn't performing it's actions as well as it should. We were better informed back in the day, in the hands of what Nigel Lawson described as 'teenage scribblers!'

SM - it was with unease that I first read the news of the AGM being moved back to 20th Dec. That kind of move, in my many years (not greatly successful) of observing Market Shenanigans, is normally to create fewer ripples when releasing bad news, admittedly more so with RNSs than AGMs. Many 'City' types have already flown to their festive hangouts and the few that are left will be drifting away on the 21st or in the pub early doors on 22nd and doing SFA until 2nd/3rd January.

Hope my wariness is unfounded and wouldn't it be great if our own dear old St Nic (NM) could don the red suit and unload a sack full of goodies for us on the 20th.

MasterRSI, re your 22:22. When I read your posts I'm reminded of the saying that if you sit an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters, one of them will eventually type the whole works of William Shakespeare. You are possibly that monkey, but you're still some way off the big win. Keep it up though bonnie lad/lass. Giving me chuckles during these cold grey days.

MasterRSI, your 15:12 was gobbledegook, but was surpassed by your 23:12 which, frankly, is risible!

Following their DD, interested parties could have assured themselves that they want want the resource but are still content to wait until someone else starts the ball rolling. No deadlines have been set.

Was it on this BB that someone (can't remember who) used to point out a '1' buy (16:21:59) and say means RNS tomorrow!

Highlight of the day for me!

Nil despera

Re Argonaut article, my reading of the whole article suggests that the price tag quoted of near $4b is in Australian Dollars, or near £2b. That's heading in the direction of more realistic and right now I'd be happy to take that, but I won't hold my breath.

There have been posts of all flavours on here recently, some of them quite unsavoury, but today we have hit a new low! TWO, I repeat, TWO mentions of Xmas and its only November!

Red - I expect better of you! (lol)

Plus, the offtake agreements weren't funding arrangements, more intentions to buy the product as and when it was produced. They weren't bankable.

Arapaho - but Sirius had started construction and had sunk many, many millions into the massive hole in the ground before they tried the next round of financing which was declined.

Despite the assertions of some on here we are NOT going to construct Cascabel.

Steve, there is no way that Tibbles and Cowichan are one and the same.

T, who possibly named himself after either a cat from the Harry Potter novels, or the lighthouse keepers cat on Stephens Island NZ believed to have single handedly wiped out a small species of flightless birds called The Lyall's Wren, has posted here for years and seemingly believes this to be his BB, to the extent that he feels obliged to comment agreeably or disdainfully to others' posts to give them credibility. He has posters of Kees Dekker and Andrew Maguire on his bedroom walls and believes that, being personal friends of his, they talk to him during the night. He obligingly shares these bons mots on the BB.

C is a different kettle of fish, naming himself after the specific First Nations group who inhabit part of Vancouver Island B.C. I believe he has/had one of their world famous styled sweaters. He appears to be trying for the Guinness Book of Records, World's Longest Sulk and spends time searching for news from Egypt which he deems to be relevant here. Like T he obligingly shares these articles with the BB and in doing so provides background information which the BB otherwise doesn't appear to get, though since it is mostly bad news, he attracts much opprobrium. Anyone found any good Egyptian news lately?

To avoid doubt I sold out from here 3 years ago but look in regularly so see if it's worth while sticking my toe back in, though I have enough trouble elsewhere to go near CEY at this time.

Is Nagy Farag Egypt's answer to our dear Nigel Farage, or is that a silly question?

Yes. It's every day, like clockwork!

Abject - Ignore Porsche, a lot of people do.
