Keep taking the pills mate. Nursey will be along soon :-)

Keep your political views to yourself. This is no place for a discussion about non-AZN matters.

A long haul but thanks to averaging down I managed to exit today with a small profit. Nothing against RMG but I cannot see the dividend suspension being lifted for a while and I have moved the cash elsewhere into a growth stock which pays a hefty 4.0%.

Surveying this board UKOG seems to have most of the characteristics of a religious cult rather than a realistic investment proposition.

You are the clueless one. The new jobs will be in completely different sectors to those shed by RR in their aero engine division. They will require distinct skillsets in nuclear engineering so new hires. I am not saying that some former RR engineers will not be re-employed but the majority of the new jobs will be just that ie. new.

Its an easy game to play, consolidate, then another rights issue and start again! Look at ValR.

I can see why you are not going long on anything. I would avoid buying green bananas if I were you :-)

Exactly the point! You know that when a legal requirement of advertising these instruments is that they state the fact that75% of retail investors lose money using them that it is basically gambling and little better than that. Are you feeling lucky punks?

Oh well at least poor Timmy has got Brexit to look forward to. So on the 31st Jan he can throw a massive party in his nationwide chain of pubs to celebrate the great event ....................... or perhaps not!

LSE boards are often populated by peeps who are completely fixated with a single company (UKOG and formerly SXX) are good examples. The approach of putting all of your savings into a single commercial concern is totally bonkers, but still people do it. I can understand and have sympathy with those who have accrued a large holding by way of worker sharesave schemes as they must have thought (like the employees of the major banks pre-crash) that their money was safe as houses. It is not and never will be, so diversification is the key. I have basically written this off and moved on. I will not be taking up the rights issue, but will not sell either just leave them alone and stop watching the price for a few years. I wish all holders the best of luck and who thought a year ago that you would be less worse off invested in RMG than sticking with RR!

I hold RDSB and thought it was a ridiculous idea, sheer fantasy. I did consider UKOG many moons ago but thankfully did not invest. I mainly read this board for the ongoing comedy show it has become although RR. Is running it close these days :-)

In fact can't help but wonder if the big fish may look longingly at home produced oil and come hunting for the companies producing it ? Yes you hit the nail on the head there because UKOG manifestly are not producing it in the UK or why would they be prospecting for Oil in Turkey FCS? You are utterly deluded if you think thst any oil major let alone RDS would be the slightest bit interested in a tinpot operation like UKOG. Dream on and keep taking the pills.

Bingo! FFS that's enough to keep me off these glorified Covid19 incubators for life!

If half the muppets on here had less than 1% exposure to RR as part of a diverse portfolio in which there are as many winners as losers then things would be a lot calmer. Not losing any sleep over this mself. Don’t see what all the fuss is about frankly. Give it 5 years and see, but if it goes under then it goes under. You win some you lose some, but don’t sweat the small stuff.

3.8p divi payable on the 27th Oct to those who hold on the 8th. Nice set of results coupled with strategic acquisitions (particularly the insolvency practice). In for the long term.

I bet your a barrel of laughs down the pub (not). Filtered.

Are you American? Do you know what sarcasm is? My post regarding brexit was a barb at those who frequently posted here a year ago (you know who you are) saying that Brexit would be perfectly OK for Rolls Royce when it patently would not. All that Brexit will do is heap more misery on top of the Covid pandemic for the company. Get a sense of humour you plank!

It has come to something when Royal Mail Group looks a better bet for investors over the next 6-12 months than RR. Has the world gone mad?

This has become of the classic LSE "joke" boards although to be fair at the moment the RR. board is giving it a run for its money :-)

Oh well amongst all this gloom at least we have sunny uplands of brexit to look forward to. Taking back control of our borders, our money, our imperial destiny etc. Once we sort out these pesky europeans and show them all who am de boss it should all be plain sailing no?
