...the deal has to be approved. If the large holders think it's a bad deal overall, there will be am interesting AGM when the vote will decide. As I mentioned, my view is that long term the tie up will create a company that will be well placed in the supply and sales chain.

We'll have to see how the market reacts. Talk of 20p though is somewhat misguided and as a de-ramp effort is pretty poor, if that was the intention. No doubt we'll see none holders spouting a load of tosh, who knows why. Personally, I'll be using some of my brand new 2018 ISA to add to my holding. A good move in my view and will lead to much greater things.

...will the reults provide a feast for us all, or not have much meat on the bone? My SIPP is looking a bit lean today, but I'm hoping that the statement tomorrow will fillet, and we can then move on to nice juicy dividends.

Meant to say 'nice buys', meaning the flurry of late buys last night. 4 x biggish deals this morning, which has pushed the SP and will hopefully show that the confidence is returning.

...buy at the close last night. Good to see that someone else has faith!

...ran out of BBQ packs on Saturday, a very popular item it seems. No doubt the customers bought something else though!

...meaty chunks into my ISA. Those results must be really good!

...profit taking will pull it back a bit as the afternoon goes on. Day traders had a good one.

Flying now!

Looks like the results are in and counted!

...and good buys today. No time to chicken out.

LOL ! Yes, I gave HL a right B**ll***ing for not selling them!

I'd speak to your S/B again. I think you mean you have nil paid rights showing in your account, which weren't taken up for whatever reason, the last day they could be sold was the 30/03, but you would have taken up the rights had you bought 'New' shares. If you have any left, your S/B may have 'Tail-Swallowed' i.e. sold some right to pay for the 'New' shares. It's a way of buying new shares without any cash outlay but can leave rights unused. Ask if there is any value in them, there sometimes is if your S/B can sell them. I have 38 'leftovers' and I hope to receive a small payment eventually. If you have a lot of rights outstanding, I would ensure that you get the best price possible. You need to be firm with your broker.

Shouldn't be a problem, 'New' shares are now equal in every way to existing shares.

...maybe tomorrow! lol

Expecting a drop today as the 'New' shares come into play, however, those who have taken up the rights should come out in front overall.

The 1m @ 128p was a sell, but there were some good buys. Mick, like the bit about 'Millions' watching BBC Parliament - ROFL! I think the shock has worn off and reality has been regained. NCC are world leaders in a very important area of security and in a market that can only grow. The fact that we've spent money getting there has gone against us, but all will come together eventually and we will reap the benefits. IMHO of course.

...a MM's ploy to avoid profit taking. The SP has dropprd 10% whilst buys outnumber sells. It looks like a good opportunity to add some more prior to the results. But I might hang on a bit and see which way this goes.

Bound to be a few ups and downs along the way. Can't blame the profit takers, that's why we're here. I was lucky and got in at 3849p, which means I'm getting 8%+ for as long as the divi is maintained. Any increase in SP is a welcome bonus, but as this is in my SIPP, I'll keep taking the divi, (reinvested) and watch it grow.

I suppose it depends on what the BoD were confident of... If they are confident that they have addressed all the previous issues and are back on track, then we should see a return to 80p sooner rather than later. Let's at least expect that they are confident of a good set of results!
