no other company benefits mor from zhe crash of the pound and yet the sp doesn't rise.the rising oil price shouldn't be a problem as it is hedged.I suppose that the pension deficit is uppermost in some investors' minds .Indeed it is worrying to learn that Tesco's pension deficit has doubled in only 6 months.Assuming they make 12p they could nvertheless pay adivi of 3 p to my mind.,couldn't they?
win homepage-job search and applications-'we are about to win an amazing new contract in DIY...sounds very promising.This should move the needle!
I should have expected the sp to rise significantly because the trading statement wasn't really negative (strong cash flow ,margin improvement in the UK despite falling bus usage).I pin all my hopes on coming years because from 2018 onwards they will be able to considerably reduce interest payment on 1200 billion L..I don't understand why the sp doesn't rise given that FGP is probably one of the companies which benefits most from the depreciation of the pound.Furthermore the difficulties of GOVE will stand them in good stead whwn the next rail franchises are up for grab.
this is the one stock that should most benefit from a plunging pound.yet it got hammered more than most despite recent buy recommendations from goldman sachs (conviction buy price target 151).Can anyone make sense of all this
the sp holds steady on a day like this.This is very encouraging news and if they get some new contracts as your post suggest the sp will spurt ahead in the weeks to come..thanks for your post.
once againa massive buy unde-the- counter.This should be illegal.The sp of win has clearly been manipulated in recent weeks.
once again not the slightest reaction - strange,really strange
all important recent trades have been what I would call under-the-counter trades.Ever since January the sp movements are hard to understand.If only we knew what prompts people to sell after anumber of positive news (trading statement, share buybacks,business wins)
Have you seen the spectacular rise of srp in 2 days (from 91.50 to 104.50) This is typical of a turnaround situation.
what's the matter with the sp?can anyone make sense of the recent downturn?
I read an article which insisted on greyhounds new look.It's longer a bus company for hippies and rather strange bedfellows.They have moved from dirty and perhaps dangerous sidestreets to central and sheltered bus stations.Their buses have wi-fi power sockets more legroom thana plane.In a nutshell the author claims that greyhound has become the preferred means of transportation for environment-conscious millenials..Petrol prices have increased by 30% in the US,airports are overcrowded.Travellers on inland flights must be at the airport 2 hours in advance.If flight are cheap,you are sandwiched between your fellow passengers -anything but pleasant.Cheap petrol pricecs are a boon for FGP in the medium term because they can hedge the oil price.When oilprices o up eventually they will tell their customers that they have to raise their prices although in fact they benefit from their hedges.I think shorttermism is a bad strategy.A turn -around situation will take4to 5 years and then you'll make between 200 and 300 %.Don't forget that as a result of the Paris climate conference bus priority schemes have been worked out in all major cities.In germany Fernbus companies (overland bus travel) established themselves about 7 years ago and noe they are a big hit.It's difficult to wait patiently for such alon time but i' tit's rewarding.Another company that seems very promising for patient investors seems to me SRP.TTime horizon 4 years benefit 300%.Ihave come to spcialize in turnaroud situatins,when I was younger I tried to make a qick bug.I made 20% and most o the times I invested the benefits in a laggard I lost patience sold the shares at loss and was baffled to see that the company I had sold with a benefit of 20% kept rising.I'don't mean to teach a lesson in investment strategies,I only want to share my experience
forgive me the mistakes must be due to my age.I'm 93 and I'm becoming increasingly negligent.I've proof read my post and I hope you are satisfied this time.(I suppose you're a teacher)
I suppose that it is rising because they benefit from lower oil prices i n the future whenthe higher contracts are unwoun,they benefit from the exchange rate and the results must be ositively impacted by the mild winter in the us.Their competitors in the us notably nex wre very happy with thei results.Many of their British business initiatives are very promising.I would keep them at least 4 years because from 2018 onwards they will refinance their bonds at much lower costs.finally many of thei bus operations in the uk overlap with those of sgc.A reorganisation of their activities in the uk is on the cards and would make sense for both of them perhaps even a full merger.
hello eccles, on their homepage
finally a piece of good news and yet the sp doesn't react.Strange,isn't it
you saved the day.I've told you time and again how much I appreciate your unbiased observations.Keep telling us what's goining on in the company(management initiatives,morale,etc)
it makes no sense to pin one's hopes on big buys as there is always a big seller for every big buyer.However,it would be interesting to know why somebody sells/buys such big chunks of acompany.They appointed a continuous improvement and transformation officer-is this positive or negative?Must the company transform itself to gain a competitive edge as Moxley suggests,this is the real question I would like to get an answer to.
We must Moxley's concerns seriously,after all they haven't announced any business wins for weeks and what worries me most none of the biggies buys nor the management.On the other hand I feel that they are seriously trying to move forward-Southampton,appointment of an improvement manager and one thing that shouldn't be overlooked the market capitalisation is ludicrous.Dentressangle was sold for more than 3 billion euros despite a host of unresolved leal problems.I'think that they'll pay a divi after 5 years be it only to signal that better times are ahead and to justify their bonuses
I greatly appreciate all unbiased contributions.,especially yours Moxley.It goes without saying that no employee can know every detail of such a complex company.A prospective investor has to sift every piece of information and then make up his mind.Analyzing every bit of information is part of the pleasure of investing.You should never invest because you are greedy and nobody should take part in our forum discussions who intends to manipulate the sp (Bluesky)
I think you should bring your observation to the attention of the it boss.I think that he would greatly value a forward thinking employee.
