and 300,000 10 minutes earlier....gong to be interested to see how many come through, then again at 7.45am

Well...all I can say is :thank you to whoever is dropping this price. Short term shame for a medium term gain. No problem here that I can see unless there is an RNS in the morning saying they're switcing the lights off and going home. Naughty step for me and will add in my SIPP.

Since Daffy Duck has been erased.....I wonder who he will return as? Tune in next time for more adventures with Loony Tunes.

It appears that the duck shooting season is upon us.... the nest is empty

Why? Because ugly ducklings really CAN become beautiful swans ;-)

Dad trolls got to PurgaTroll:- they are permitted to keep viewing a board but not to post......infuriates 'em ;-)

I'm not sure why you have any doubts whatsoever about my considered opinion, after months of discussion and input from those who are FAR more informed that I. YES: I believe that the YLF action will fail. But good luck.

Translate anyone?

Will you PLEASE stop letting facts get in the way of the ducks?

Zackly......we'll be listening out for the quacks...should be easy enough to spot.

we're simply thrilled. Will we also be graced with the delight of your presence at the EGM? Don't worry...we promise not to s******. Too much....

I fear you're right as we flounder in a mire of ambivalence.......<wringing my hands>......I'm concerned this will continue until Nov 11 and blondestreaks will lose on those shorts....

@akcsl: Gee thanks....... for making me spray coffee on my pc

feathers ruffled?

davey: welcome back...lots of old names re-appearing this week. The company will demonstrate that it has set aside more than sufficient funds to cover any potential damages from YLF who have been specific about their expectations. As for the SFO enquiry...it has been done to death in here and with a QC on the BoD it's reasonable to expect that the company is very well-informed about what the possible outcomes are. Plus I suspect that the current BoD is more than happy to support the SFO inquiry into actions by their predecessors. Not too much stress here... apart from shorters. Time will tell.

Trading accounts will normally allow you to specify at the time you place an order how long you want to wait before settling (paying). In my ISA it's fixed at T2 (2 days later); however in my trading account I can opt for T2, T5, Y10, T20. This potentially allows you to buy shares and pay for them up to 20 days later...you'll probably get slightly worse prices, but if you feel that the share is going to be higher 20 days later, then that may be an option for you. I'm sure others can go into far greater detail on the pros/cons/ ATB

I guess it all depends on timing and what you hope to do: if you buy on T20 I feel sure that will allow sufficient time. I personally believe that IF the court approves the capital return, the payments will be made within 10 days. I can;t see why it can not all be done electronically into trading/ISA/SIPP accounts, but who knows....it may be done by snail mail using cheques. My best suggestion is to wait until Nov 11 when the circular detailing the process is issued. I can imagine there will be millions of questions/posts that we all have at that stage.... ATB

Hi RW You have hit the nail squarely on the head. In reality, I guess the only sure-fire way to bridge the gap between the adjustment down in price and the payment going into your bank is to have separate funds available (or buy on longer terms?). Personally that's my only way to ensure that IF the price post-return is in the range you mention, I am not restricted from adding, subject to anything else which is announced between now and then.

napoleon appears to have met his Waterloo. His threads remain but all of today's posts have been deleted. Interestingly LSE appear to have approved the responses he solicits....well done LSE.

Bondstreet: will you be attending the EGM in order to voice your concerns directly? It would be a great opportunity for you to meet some of your fellow investors. <how do I do one of those little ironic rolly-eyed ironic thingies in here?)
