Interesting disposal terms. Of no consequence in the grand scheme of things, but nice to know CVS look after their chums.

I think you're right StockReady. I sold a chunk on Friday and wish I hadn't!

Slightly reluctantly sold a chunk of these today. I'm normally a long term holder but there's been such a persistent rise here (justifiably in my opinion) I couldn't stop myself from taking something off the table. Still got 40,000 and will be buying more if it drops to 50 again. Hopefully for all invested it doesn't!

Thanks for the replies folks. Looks like it was a blip yesterday. All back to normal now.

Does anyone here have an ISA with Barclays? My 888 is in my Barclays ISA but following the name change it’s saying they no longer qualify for the ISA(!) and I only have the option of selling the shares. Anyone had similar? Thanks.

you've been buying them heavily for 12 months and you're sat on a miniscule loss. ha!!!!! i think you'll find you're sat on a miniscule *****!

So, I watch for 4 months or so and buy when the company is about 20% cheaper, the economy is turning and they've just diversified into a profitable jewellery business - and I'm a melon? You, however, presumably remain sat on a massive loss.

Very touchy.

Touchy.

I'm in today. The fact that Money Shark is positive is a negative. But I'm willing to overlook that.

It’s pretty quiet here now Sheltie. Hopefully it has finally sunk in. Like you say - it’s been mental here. You could have put your money in pretty much anything else over the past couple of months and made a tidy profit.

Never sell Shell. No point commenting here as far as I’m concerned. I never worry about this one. It just does it’s thang.

Can’t disagree with that!

It’ll just keep sliding until the delist. Any doubt, just take a visit to your local store. The reasons are there for all to see.

I still don't get this listing location malarky. If the FTSE is so undervalued surely it is just a matter of time until this is taken on board by the wider market and people will start buying. Isn't this what is already happening? Things go in cycles. Is it not just our turn now (even if we don't ever reach the heady heights of the US market)?

Love this share!!!

Agreed Dr Patience. If we want more people to do business in the UK you need to believe in the rule of law, and have confidence that the government will not take steps to force amendments to contracts retrospectively. The precedent this would establish would be damaging in the extreme - but the whispers are that is the direction of travel. I have sympathy for the tenants, but ultimately they knew what they were signing up for - or should have done if they read what they’d signed up for. An attempt to win votes from some, that will lose votes from a smaller number - but which would establish a damaging precedent overall.

We’ve all been asking that for years! Too long really and I would not normally invest in the hope of a takeover - but I topped up again today. This is like crack - it’s wrong, i don’t like it, and it’s probably going to be economically damaging for me - but I just can’t stop!

I have a small holding here and as at Friday am now down. Clearly very naively I was wondering how PFC was still managing to secure new contracts when there was clearly so much concern about its solvency. Unless I’m missing something, the answer really does appear to be in that RNS. They weren’t really securing contracts, they were agreeing contracts that remain contingent upon delivery of guarantees which it seems they are simply not going to be able to deliver. In their absence this is finished. Why would a competitor launch a hostile takeover when they can pick up the pieces for nothing instead and probably charge a premium for stepping into the breach? Happy to hear alternative points of view but I am seriously considering cutting my losses here. I don’t normally do that, and would usually let a small punt like this one ride, but this looks particularly bad to me.

Hash - I think the reason some of us have posted here is that this board has had more than its fair share of complete bullsh*tters over the past months who have seemed intent on trying to encourage others to put their money in on very false statements and hyperbole - which have all been proven to be incorrect. I am not saying you are doing that (I don’t share your views at all, but I agree you are entitled to air them and I think you’ve done so reasonably), but I think that’s why uninvested people (but for the most part people who have previously been invested) continue to take an interest here. It’s akin to driving past a car crash. You know you shouldn’t look, but you can’t stop yourself!
