Cheers Lofty, and all have a good one. The weather here is lovely - hardly raining at all, which counts as tropical these days! 2014 will be our year - roaring towards it now anyway. All the best Happy

Usual aim carp. This company is now in a much better place than it has been for five years - the uncertainty over N'Castle is gone, with the possibility that we will find a tenant that will actually see it contributing to cash-flow after the write-down, and the BA trial is going swimmingly well (although still waiting for Mr Falconer to confirm this officially - not sure what the delay is - **** sandwich of RNS's maybe?). Without the write-down, we're still positive even in the UK, and with the economy recovering sufficiently for the FED to start tapering, we must be looking at real growth in the next couple of years. Irritating that this is now half the price is was a couple of years back, but we'll get there!

Is definitely putting his money where his mouth is. I agree wholeheartedly with him - this is too cheap at the moment, massive over-reaction to reduced profits that were already being addressed by sensible R&D and marketing expenditure.

Anyone managed to get through the obfuscation and work out a clear picture of what this may look like - price, obligation to sell, timeline, what happens to transactions from the last three months...? I'm getting bored and thinking of just walking out again! Thanks for any insights Happy

Wasn't me this time. Due a healthy announcement though.

Don't jinx it! News seeping about the BA trial going well, not great publicity yet, but will come when Graeme is happy with it no doubt.

Hmmm - usual volume is about 10-20k shares traded daily. Today 80 odd and yesterday (reported late) 300. Could be options vesting maybe, or general board buys in advance of the next tender :). Don't worry about the movement, the trading range is 100 to 190!!!! Happy

to the BOD, you seem to be doing a great job - not sure how many other miners have a growing cash balance at the moment! A lot of good decisions have been made, from ditching Oz, through to the modern investments in the new pipes and processing machinery, here's to a very sparkly (dividend filled!) future. Happy

Where'd you see that - I thought they were starting September, but unusually no announcements made?

Could be people heading out prior to the results, which may contain an already announced reduced production in H1, or it may just be the usual ups and downs of this share, see it fall back to around 140-150, then clamber back to 180-200 - pretty consistent reading range since 2008!

not really that bad - there are extraordinary costs tied up in here, as well as reduced operating costs for the next year, so trading on a lot less than 26 in reality.

I still believe that this company has legs. It's a poor update in many ways, but the market has developed a habit of over-reacting to profit warnings when the fundamentals are still sound, or at least there is a clear path through the downturn. The management have been very sensible here, invested heavily in the technology / sales infrastructure which will see improved results throughout 2014. They forecast this dip early in the year, but reading the releases from that time, there was hope rather than any real expectation that they would meet the targets for 2013, so this is really just confirming that. We're now sitting at less than half where we've been in the last twelve months, but we're still in profit which is a much better place to be than many companies at the moment. Good opportunity whilst those around you are losing their heads. GL Happy

Let's hope so - got some more cash freeing up in the next day or so, and thinking that SDL shareholders are feeling a bit lonely and need my company :)

Oh no! Halle Berry is scattering diamonds over North Korea, the floor's just fallen out of the market.

I'll listen to my own advice! I was speaking with someone on another board last week or so, and said I was looking at getting out around 1.92, but that in the meantime it would fall to around 1.40. So, of course I sold my holding at 1.65 and waited to top up on the fall - NOT. Maybe Tele Sevalas was using his mind controlling device on me - hope I didn't do anything untoward with Joanne Lamont, sorry Krabbe!

Cheers Rob, I missed that one - still digesting last year's finals! Happy

Is someone playing the price with small volumes again, or is there news of another big 'un in the offing? Anyone got any ideas? Ta Happy

Anyone know if this can go into an ISA on 8th Aug? Seems a good bet for that, with regular divi payments and hopefully growth back to where I bought in :) Thanks Happy

Good news indeed, albeit not that unexpected by folk that have been following this for so long! Topped up some more this morning - unusually my pay came in before the shares I follow spiked! Good luck all, and lets get the yachts warmed up! Happy

So, we get a good set of results, with more detail on the growth prospects, all looks to be ahead of the long term plan so far as I can see, and you take the price down with piddly trades? Time to be sensible here, and well done to the team for working to reduce costs and deliver better stones.
