Contrarian, am I bothered. I already have the cash ready to top up my ISA next week with the £20k which as you say will be tax free. For a moment just forget about ITV SP drop it will come back as it always does. Again next year we can only make what £ 3k /£6k joint account allowance so where will I put the money from my sell of ITV shares. To be honest I can't be bothered with all the trouble. You chase what you want I don't need to.life's too short to get to up tight about.

There is always another side to everything, look if you have plenty of savings, topped up isa's, private plus state pensions and don't really need more money.

You can just hold the stock until things get better and ITV come back to 80p+.

Look ITV has traded for the last few years from what 60p-83p and the company now is doing well, this drop is the markets so ITV will come back. So unless your a trader just hold and take the divi which at the moment is still better than building soc/ isa. Interest, so calm down it's not the end of the world.

I think we are all in here with ave 's of 60p-90p and the last thing we want now is for MA to make an offer of 50p to take us out all the time the SP is around the 30p-40p mark.

Trump knows for this to work that he must convince companies to build plants in the US, but we all know the US will bribe / pay companies to do this as they always do to get the business.

Must admit this rns does look like good news and it does look like THG is now in a much better shape than before , but will the city see this and mark the SP back up to the highs of £1+ at some stage.

Tom You kept telling us you sold out of ITV , by the sounds on your posts and all the worry etc did buy back in without telling us and tried to keep it secrete , but now the truths coming out.

Tom calm down, it's the markets not ITV, ITV is down what 5-6% when many stocks are down anything from 8-20%. ITV will come back.

Anyway Tom you are not in ITV are you so why all the worry and fuss.

Why worry about a movement of 10 / 20p if you are holding with the div it's still better than the same money being an isa or building soc ,it's only money.calm down.

So I guess I have missed the chance to sell these at 82p ish for a profit in this tax year, but the plus side is at least the divi is higher than any interest I will get from savings in the building soc. Give it a few weeks and then sell at 82p + for a profit in the next tax year.

Yes more good news so do you think this will hit 83p before ex divi date with all the buy in's for the divi so I can sell before it goes back to 71p-75p ex divi. now that's the big question.

But who really cares about all that, all I care about is the SP going to £1 asap.

Is it. Tonight on bloomberg stroll says he is open to taking AML private. So if he does I guess he will want it for next to nothing maybe 40-70p. Which might mean AML is currently over priced.

Tom you make many good points and most true, but it doesn't matter how much you rant on in you posts the bod's will do just they want all the time they can get away with it. At some point the SP will be higher and we will get a pay back.

I guess they will also now get the divi of 3.3p on those free shares. What a winner all round.

Will be happy now with this latest rns, more free shares for all the bod's.

So what will this look like if they hadn't raised more money in 3-6 months time? can the bosses see aml running out of money and going bust again.?

All looks a bit desperate .

Yes I guess that at best it does look like a positive move to get more money in, but it does also look like last ditch efforts to save a sinking ship again.

Now the AML brand is looking more unsteady in the market with huge debts and tariffs coming.

Could be a little boost for the SP today but will it then go back down?

Oh dear Tom, you do live a sad life and don't see life the same as others do. Ok you have been delt a few bad times before but you must get over it, so what's the point in keep harping on about the Dame you hate but clearly others see her in a different light otherwise the bod's would have got find of her.

Clearly ITV are now in a better position than they were,many said ITV was too small and in the wrong sectors but that's now been mostly sorted.if your still not in ,keep out.

Good morning all, yes I think I would agree with most of that. I have said all along that I thought she has done a good job and wouldn't be going anywhere soon as many in the city could see she has done what was needed even though there has been some very unhappy posters on here. If the bankers here or the us want to take itv over then let them get on and do it now at £1.25+, then most of us would be even happier .

So in simple terms then , does this now mean MM will hold a bigger % and then likely to make a low bid for the rest of it, and does it now mean MA 's holding % goes down and he will have to come back to buy more to keep his % up and the chances of a takeover. ?????
