focusIR May 2024 Investor Webinar: Blue Whale, Kavango, Taseko Mines & CQS Natural Resources. Catch up with the webinar here.
It's just another corporate exhibition.............nothing to see here.
Just had some bizarre call from Indian sounding woman offering to but my shares for £15 each.
Despite the fact I kept breaking off the conversation pretending I was an airline pilot in flight carrying out an emergency landing, and giving all the radio comms speak she still kept holding on with the conversation continuing lol. Wasn't until after about 10 mins and I told her the aircraft was being evacuated did she hang up !! These people must be so gormless.
Morning Tony.
"They say that they are looking to future contracts but many tenders are already in process."
I would have thought you have been here long enough to realise that will make little difference. India could at any time move the goalposts to suit themselves. Unless a contract has been formally awarded there is no reason India cannot invite someone else to bid. India will do what suits their agenda, always have and always will. Bit like still trading with the Russians........
No risk for me Tony. I'm comfortable, very comfortable with my position. I just don't continually see only the positives in CC only a more balanced view. Perhaps you should visit specsavers, buy a pair of rose tinted glasses and join that other BB where most of the posters squint through theirs?
Me ,as I've said many times , happy to sit and wait come what may .
Tony..........what was that bump????? oh it was my head falling off laughing.........DYOR LOL
Morning Tony. ummmmm DYOR ?
Unlije some you've DYOR Colour lol. Seemed to me it was regurgitation of previous info pity some missed it.
"Very good RNS,".........how so Tony?
I thought we were led to believe we had the holy grail of product? Don't tell me the goal posts have been moved on e again and a change to performance spec / delay is on the way again.......please. Maybe the RNS is a precursor?
"Ratna also revealed CyanConnode's plans to introduce a long-range RF solution designed to benefit rural areas and overcome limitations of cellular coverage, along with a universal Head-end system. This solution has already been successfully tested in the state of Himachal Pradesh in India."
Maybe priming us shareholders for some disapointing news or delays? That would. be the normal MO.
Just beat me to it ITT. Frankly the money could be better spent in my opinion. An RNS detailing what is effectively a meeting between the CEO, MD ,and an external journalist does not, I think warrant the cost of an RNS. Makes you wonder what some of the other cash is being spent on. Message to JC ......Must try harder.
Been involved in a few e-tenders over the years Colour. Race to the bottom and better than watching stand up lol.
Morning 2cv. This is becoming like one of my boring blue chip defensive shares but without the regular income lol.
The underwriters will have to up their sums due to inflation. Car repair costs alone substantially increased, add to that labour costs and you can see where the 20 % rise comes from. Have to say I also had a quick look around and Aviva appear competitive in comparison to their peers. I guess you pay your money and take your chance. Pay cheap pay twice is my motto. On the plus side I suppose the profits are inflation proofed lol.
Hi Tony . Just my attempt at a bit of humour to lighten what is a boring time here.
If you look back through my posts I did say I doubted and substantial orders until Q2/3 earliest knowing how slow the procurement process is here in the UK let alone India. Fingers crossed and lets see how close I am.
Wagons..Indians...few cowboys involved as well lol
Anyone would think India had great governance around these things lol.
Amazing how some on here get so excited over nothing news. Is there an need to keep posting the whole RNS,s over numerous emails? It's embarrassing.
"As part of the transaction with Aéma Groupe, Aviva has agreed to customary warranties and indemnities. This includes a specific indemnity agreement in respect of the ‘known price’ contracts, written by Abeille Vie between 1989 and 1997, that would share the risk in the unlikely scenarios of certain costs in respect of these contracts rising above Aviva France’s already appropriate existing provisions. This will have a negligible impact on Aviva’s solvency position."
On the basis it states .........."certain costs in respect of these contracts rising above Aviva France’s already appropriate existing provisions. This will have a negligible impact on Aviva’s solvency position."
I would say Aviva only pick up the excess. cost other than what Arena have already allocated in their own provision ,not any full award, that's if the case ever goes against them if course.
As part of the deal, Aviva agreed to indemnify Aema who bought Aviva France for future costs. Make of that what you will.
