Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
When I read about these pay negotiations I can’t help but think of the zero hour economy. Often working at a fraction of the wage often without any real benefits often without any real pensions.
Until the UK gets to grips with the failed Marxists and the clandestine organisations the UK is marooned.
Time for them to move on. They’ve done enough damage to this country. Better understanding and better democracy and better relations with the world.
A few people seem set on trying to destroy this country including some (not all) of the unions and some older politicians. It will be a shame if hsbc and standard chartered decide to leave the country. I think somebody will merge with standard chartered and buy the business.
Compared to other businesses organisations executives I think these are well run quality businesses. I think the uk should be getting stronger links and maybe countries learn from other countries better that way than just throwing insults.
Got you
Mind you if they are maybe they can answer my question - if inflation tails off considerably will the pay award be adjusted accordingly.
Also aren’t the most successful parts of the business non UK are they expecting subsiding of wages pensions by the overseas business?
Sell the uk postal business it’s not worth this. Let it go.
Yes you are probably right the legacy issues perhaps have tainted the share price for good. I do think the people running the ship and major shareholders will be aware. Personally I think if a share trades below financial assets never mind physical assets then something usually gives at some point. I don’t think there is enough stock to enable many new institutional shareholders. Still think maybe one of the cheapest shares on the market. Good luck
Eh! Costain are already involved in nuclear facilities in the uk and no problem there. Don’t panic!
I wonder if Costain will pick up much work from RR on their nuclear facilities being planned.
Anyway as things stand I think that I am right in saying 20-30 million pound profits forecast and trading at something like a market cap which is 2/3 of total net assets. Crazy.
It is going down less.
It is such a horrible and corrupt world sometimes - Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.
I think there is manipulation and corruption here in the UK and possibly including what has happened here. I have also lost here like most but it is nothing when you watch the news.
Lots could happen to quickly recover this weeks losses. Try and be kind to each other and yourselves in the meantime.
Definitely going on holiday. Maybe not Ukraine or Russia right now but maybe one day. South of France sounds good anywhere really!
I just took a look here and there is clearly an issue. So you have somebody who states that they work in the city sitting on a chat board chiding and provoking people. I’d like to know what he does in the city if true, hopefully not an auditor or employee of any business with access to client holdings.
Going back to why here and why spending so much time, it seems irrational and a cause of irrational behaviour is emotion which leads me to believe he has lost a lot of money in this and is bitter.
I always believe that it’s good to be kind but this is pushing it especially when claiming to want to buy at a price about 10p below the current one. It seems manipulative at best. There is a lot of corruption about I believe so hopefully it is just the aforementioned.
Hello folks I’ve had some issues with IG anybody else suffering poor service or quite frankly some bizarre going’s on?
Might have been selling when it hit the 2.00 and crossed the threshold at the date given. They still hold a lot of the company. This situation does seem particularly unfair to Cairn. Anyway regardless of this debacle I still have India in my top two travel destinations, might be half board now though.
Without the megla bit maybe lol and of course it is a buy - it could shoot up anytime but in the meantime market makers and others taking out the stops and weak positions. If the LSE chat people all were inclined this could go up anytime even without news. Don’t understimate collectively how much money there is on these boards it’s not insignificant.
Just a thought I wonder if some on here may be inadvertently contributing to an imperfect market. Some of the stuff on here is telegraphing or perhaps saying a little too much. I sometimes find the quieter boards have the more expected market movements.
Think the order book figure you quote might be wrong just to add.
And check out the volume for such a drop.
The business had become unwieldy and they have now simplified the structure. Big tick.
Reducing debt and meeting obligations. Big tick. Recent RNS re shareholding they still hold a lot of shares and given the volatility in the market and some large drops maybe diversifying some of their holding into other shares.
I think this is ripe for more consolidation and I just can’t help wonder whether another outsourcer might come in something like serco might buy out capita as it slims down. That is my view and we are all entitled to our views.
Ladies gents this board seems to be full of petty squabbling at times when I do read the board, not often, some of it is quite unpleasant. Be kind and good luck to you all.
The lower it goes the more likely it will be sold. People seem to go on about shorting here but nobody from what I can see seems to mention the order book. If the order book is stacked full of geared buy positions they obviously show as sells at some price. I think we hitting those prices. Keep going with the disposals and then a dividend is my hope.
Could be next on the list after morrisons - dividend would be nice as well.

Agreed. Simplifying the business and paying down debt are important. Easing of lockdown should be good and not bad. Anyway that's me for a while in regards to posting.
