Interesting appointment...could it be that PM division is being prepared for sale? Reading between the lines, it looks like the company is changing its emphasis and is gearing up for a more active role in the CV market.

...Now back up to 132p as the shock wears off and realisation of the fact that long term, this is a good move. I'm not sure whether the RI will be worth waiting for, I'm topping up today.

Well Greeno, you got news of H2 performance and dividend !

...as ex-div effect wears off and buyers realise that an almost 10% return is worth having. Onwards and upwards.

...Tony Harper, Head of Research, Jaguar Land Rover, said: “We know that there’s a huge potential for these technologies in future vehicles around the world. Until now we have focused on communication between Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, this collaborative approach is a major stepping stone towards all Connected and Autonomous Vehicles co-operating with each other in the future. “Our aim is to give drivers exactly the right information at the right time and collaborations with other manufacturers are essential to help us deliver this commitment to our customers.” Growth area for sure.

...top up again at this price. Although my 4500 buy showed as a sell! I feel the debt is manageable and profits will increase again once the new parts of the company are fully integtrated. I think the Novero purchase, whilst adding to the debt, was an inspired move which will place LRD in the driving seat (ouch!) of in-vehicle telematics. A massive market just emerging. I doubt that any take-over move would be welcomed by BOD or SH's. This is a company poised for great things. Keep the faith.

...circa 1.41p seems to be the support level. Tomorrow will test that support and then I think a slow haul back up. Certainly one for the 'Long Term' holding draw. The recent acquisitions seem to give a good indication of the direction we're headed and once they are integrated, we'll see significant progress. IMHO of course.

Seems that Artemis have been topping up and now control 19% of the company. Good indication of their faith in the prospects I'd say.

Ahh....The penny dropeth! Sorry snige, I see now where you're coming from. Exchange rates! Certainly would make LRD more tempting to a US buyer, but I would want a lot more than current SP.

A lot of the buys are showing as sells. Both my top ups have shown as sells. I think the SP has risen due to buying for the Div, Hopefully, given the already low SP, it may hold ex-div. Still a good buy at this level. (IMHO)

£1.44 = $1.76 approx Where does $1.22 fit ?

...big buys - 20k and 30k just bought at 144.5p

Perhaps the next Div may not be as generous, a fall in profits will obviously be reflected. As of today it's almost 10% which will reduce in percentage return as the SP increases. As to survival, I think any such talk is, hall we say, premature. As to being happy with a T/o at $1.22 - get real!

...somebody had the same idea - £37k buy just gone through! That's £1200 straight off!

...this is heading into the 130's, but can I ignore an almost 10% divi ? Today is the last day to be sure of being on the register for pay day, so I'm looking to stick a big wodge of ISA in here and then tuck them away for a few months. The basics still look good and Telecoms has always been fickle, but given a fair wind, LRD will recover and hopefully regain the previous levels. I don't see a massive recovery on the horizon, more a slow, steady increase as markets improve. Certainly the best buy around at the moment. IMHO of course.

Anybody know the reason for the 680p spike @ 15.33 ?

...if only for the dividend, but that is one awful graph! Seems to be an underlying problem. I look for bargains, but I'll hang on with this one, maybe Network Rail have something in the offing?

'Can't go below 3p can it' I thought that about Hampson Industries a few years ago, massive company in the Aero sector.......went bump!

'This is a buy and forget about for a year or so' . I remember somebody else saying that at 80p or so.....in 2012 !
