A certainty, closely followed by death and taxes. My problem is knowing when to sell other stocks before the inevitable

Randgold ADR's in US have taken a huge hammering today. Suspect omorrows price on footsy likely to follow suit

nor a Dominos groupie who is here for the long term. I have set target price on which to sell and am invested on two counts. First the high turnover growth each year and the modest share value increase that seems to bring along plus dividends. That makes me confident that my investment will be protected here an even grow modestly. The differences between the various groups seems not to be so much their differences as their synergy. That leads to my second reason - a future merger due to the high levels of synergy and a possibility that Dominos be swallowed by a much bigger Pizza or Italian chains beyond its own territorial boundaries.. After all, apart from synergy, it has a very stable and growing economic base. Which leads me on to Donald Trump - sorry ladies. He is and will be a catalyst via his trade deals for US companies and ironically counter Chinese investments across the globe, the likes of which we havn't seen. Food, agriculture, metals and properties will be seen as sound investment havens..

Never sure that a given gold price is prophetic but am sure that a good miner RNS is usually a subtle game changer, at least until the next bad RNS appears. My hopes tend to err to a future based on largely good RNS's though the rational being inside me concludes that the last thing a miner wants to tell the world or its host country are its horrendous situations or mind shattering finds.

could lead easily to a stalemate on policy and spending. The dollar will quickly suffer and no prizes for guessing what will then rise.

Todays biggest price increase. Notice the increased share trades on the previous days. Mmm ! http://www.lse.co.uk/ShareChart.asp?sharechart=KOD&share=kodal_minerals

I always suspect a news leak when a share rises well above its average rise. Perhaps I am being overly optimistic but 2017, like 2016, will be a great year for Randgold.

My opinion is based on reading the Press pundits who clearly like to envisage a NO as that will lead to a perfect Press storm. If the Italians read similar press reporting to our own then Brexit, Le Pen and Trump will encourage a certain vote' That surely leads to a NO vote which in essence is an anti establishment vote,

Given that Italy says NO on Sunday and that leads to a new anti EEC government with the forecast start to the collapse of the Euro and the EEC, I wonder if an increased demand for Gold will be the outcome ? The sterling price against the Euro might be the first indicator come Monday

must either result in a dead cat bounce tomorrow or gold has become the new gold as predicted.

DPP- yet another umpteenth great trading report.

Continued growth and losses more than halved in 12 months. Can't help feeling that this growth will result in profitability next year and with the potential for dividends thereafter. That should then attract corporate investors and who knows, a FTSE listing. Strange that the markets has shrugged its shoulders at these results. Perhaps these growth figures were boringly expected yet again but have they read the financial bits ? Along with DOM, am in here before its popularity exceeds my investment limitations. Anyone hazard a guess that DOM are watching like hawks and might one day want to acquire all the shares.

Hony Capital with their US and Chinese backers will be watching closely as this company clearly adds synergy to their other pizza chain investment which largely trades as a pizza and pasta restaurateur. We are clearly open for business with China

Hony Capital raised sufficient capital in both dollars and Yuan to secure the acquisition of Pizza Express (included Ask and Zizzi). Dominos largely serves over the counter and deliveries. We then have by far the largest, namely Pizza Hut in the US. Were Hony or Pizza Hut to make a bid, they could fall foul of either the UK or EEC competition regulators but Pizza Hut in the UK has greater synergy with the Hony assets than with Dominos and so as a buyer of Dominos might well win over any anti competition argument. There again we have Teresa May who though may well steer away from personal Nuclear funding talks at the G20, her Ministers and Advisors will not. I do expect that we will be saying no to any nuclear deal in favour of gas but we shall be saying to China that Brexit particularly means that the UK is well and truly open to Chinese business. That for instance could pave the way for a Hony bid for Dominos (Hony itself is much funded with US capital and had no problems obtaining Dollars for Pizza Express). My investment in Dominos is based on the view that it could easily be a takeover target but that in the meantime it pays decent dividends, its sales/profits increase healthily each year and its product/business model is somewhat recession proof. After all, if we as a nation can no longer afford to eat out, we can either cook more meals and/or choose a low price and belly filling takeaway such as a Pizza.

should see the 6 monthly report. Hopefully the trend continues exponentially

Sounds as though it was written by Oxfam. Why waste shareholders time by telling us what goody goodys they are. Setbacks I want to know about but not sure how truthful are the vague references to there being possibly more gold. Makes not a jot of difference. Tell me that when you find it. Dear oh dear, the Chairman needs to rethink why he is there.

I reckon that as the price of fuel increases, more of us turn to free delivery of food. Ocado, Dominos etc. Oh, nearly forgot next week. Got to be good result though this week the growth in the price will presumably anticipate that.

Largely due to Sterling viz the May effect. But reality will return as the world economy still bleak. Sticking hold.

week commencing 25 July. Unless of course Brexit has resulted in a downturn in pizza sales. Saw the film Armageddon and no one was eating pizzas.

I suspect this bear market will prevail at least for one further day so am hopeful that we shall see yet again an opposite trend for RRS.
