Virtually all of the profit making companies I am invested in have started 'buy backs' in lieu of dividends. I have yet to see any benefit in the way of share price increase from any of them. Directors appear to be like sheep, follow the herd. What do we pay them for? Many shares are valued on their dividend yield or at least valuation is underwritten in this way. I can see tax advantages for large shareholders but I repeat what I have said before on this board, it is not in the interest of most retail holders many who are relying on dividends for income in retirement.

I am not sure what relevance 'fat jabs' have. I had a colleague many years ago who killed himself as a result of too much salt. He wss only 25 and was not overweight.

Unfortunately been here since Blinx days.

There does not seem to have been any advantage in transferring to NASDAQ. What do we pay these CEO's for. Perhaps another gimmick such as change in name (or consolidation), will do the trick. Hopefully someone will buy us out (for cash), someday.

Not sure many shareholders will be happy with forfeiting dividends to fund share buybacks. Might be good tax saving measure for directors with large numbers of shares.

Anything but report production figures from Madagascar.

Croatia never was a good fit. What do we pay these CEO's for. Should have retained frack site on standby. Once this current government is gone, fracking will be back.

Still cannot understand why they would raise now rather than wait for the test results. Unless the Board are not very confident Suggests to me a less than 50% probability of success (i.e. meeting estimate flow and concentration), might have been assumed.

Agreed. Why would you raise now if the test results were expected to be good. Doesn't make sense. Strikes me the board are covering themselves for the possibility of poor test results next week. No other explanation.

Poor management, overpriced acquisitions.

They always have explanations for shortfall against promises, but never seem to be able to give accurate forward guidance.

High valuation, profit taking. Low down defence supply chain so unlikely to benefit immediately from current war. Not pure defence stock. Exaggerated fall due to small cap selling and risk aversion and movement into safer large cap stocks in times of uncertainty. Probably oversold. That's my take.

The Netflix takeover of Warner Bros might benefit ZOO as ZOO are the localisation supplier to Netflux. Though the takeover has still to be approved by the US government.

Not a chance. Large auto customers will want SEE to remain independent.

What is required is continuing positive free cash flow thus enabling the LN re-payment. It is the fear of yet more dilution that is holding this share back. Long term shareholders are aware of promises made in the past and not kept.

Don't get carried away. Directors buys are pocket money to them. Hardly significant.

Psrhaps a takeover by Adobe might resue us 'in the red' shareholders. We can but hope.

Operating cash flow positive figure in the financial accounts is the key to rerating of this share.

My interpretation is that it is BMW cars made in China. As far as I am aware SEE are not on any Chinese designed cars. But I stand to be corrected on this latter statement.

I a new investor here. My logic in investing is I can see huge gains in efficiency and effectiveness from using AI. Others might wish to comment.

At first sight, self driving cars will destroy the See business model. No need for driver monitoring. This contract is, I assume, for testing purposes only. Yet it is possible there will be a greater demand for passenger monitoring in self driving cars. Welcome comments on this assertion.
