This morning's trading would indicate a dividend rise on the way.

Perhaps it will arrive on the scheduled delivery date?

Can it be that our ship is finally coming in? I've always known that it would, I just wasn't sure whether it would be in this century.

Doesn't anyone see the brilliance of our strategy? Gas has become so valuable that we're going to leave it in the ground for safekeeping. Same strategy we used for oil.

Cmin, there may just be something to your theory. I wouldn't even begin to guess at the details, but the next few RNSs may give us some good clues.

I don't know whether Larry reads this, but just in case he does:
I'm sure I speak for many of us when I offer him profuse thanks for all he has done for the company over the past 5 years. Without him, the company would never be in the position it is today. All the best to him.

You know, I sort of miss old cuddo. Whenever I was feeling a bit down because all my other shares were having a bad day, his delightful nonsense would always bring a smile to my lips. And then I would mentally spend the the profits that would be mine just by holding ANGS shares. I spent those profits in my imagination many times and thoroughly enjoyed each and every time. I had just bought a perfectly restored MG-TD and was hoping cuddo's next ramp would help replenish my lockdown-depleted wine cellar. And then, cruelly, the source of all my dreams disappeared. But I'm hopeful that cuddo's replacement(s) will provide equally wonderful entertainment.

I still can't help but feel that the fat lady still hasn't sung (although she may be warming up in the wings). I have felt right from the start that Amazon would wait for the smoke to clear and then come with a knockout bid above £3. My guess is that Amazon hasn't shown its hand yet because they intend to make an offer in cash and shares and if it came to an auction (in which only cash offers are allowed), they wouldn't be able to participate. Amazon is the only potential bidder that stands to lose if someone else, especially a PE bunch, gets their claws on Morrisons, so don't count them out just yet. I don't think I'm the only one who thinks along these lines, so I would expect MRW to trade tomorrow at something of a premium to the winning bid. All pure conjecture of course, but it's exactly what I would do were I in Amazon's position.

Nice RNS but nothing about our huge deposit of glod. Ah, well, I'm sure we'll hear something soon.

I don't know if the sp can stand any more good news.

Sounds good to me.

Either someone knows something we don't know or there's someone who needs a lot of cadh quickly. I expect it's the second one, but.....

Now Larry is REALLY excited!

Right you are, Funky. I probably got the idea from you and kept rolling it around in my mind. It would make sense, wouldn't it.

I can't help but wonder if the bigger financing package includes Ironveld. I have absolutely no real reason for saying that - just a feel. Meanwhile, nice to know we're on track, but the track does seem to extend to the horizon, doesn't it?

The new bid is welcome, but not especially surprising. Now to see what Fortress does. I expect they'll now bow out and if they do, I think we'll be hearing from Amazon shortly thereafter.

Ah, I remember them all well. Actually, my theory is that our troubles all started when Richard left and started making tea on another board. Now perhaps if we all got together to offer him a little incentive to start making tea on this board again...
(Don't laugh, those of you who weren't here. For a time, when Richard went out to make a cup of tea, the sp was invariably higher when he returned. Didn't seem to work with coffee, though, as I remember it.)

The important thing is is that operations FINALLY seem to be on track and headed in the right direction. Now comes the really difficult part - waiting.

"The sad fact is the higher the price goes, the more they'll strip it down."
Not necessarily. The main reason amazon would want morrisons is to ensure the continuity of its operations. I've always thought that they'd be willing to pay a top price simply to prevent one of their major suppliers falling into the hands of an outfit that WOULD strip it down.
