You have caused me to think, thanks. As a first step I would take the view that to pay £25m out as a div would have more impact. There are investors who want their investment to give both income and capital growth. Personally any div would be reinvested anyway. March will give some answers, we hope. JJ

I believe Noba was telling us all something along those lines, have we been mislead? JJ

Lucky you need to try harder i.e. get your mates to invest £100m. Mine are mostly of modest means. JJ

Forget share buyback we need to lend more, IMHO.
Lets be patient and see what March brings. JJ

Judging by the bickering everyone needs cheering up. JJ

Don't worry its only money, and we have all those diamonds, and you know they are worth a lot to AP. However will you share in their full value? Lets keep our dream for the moment, but maybe get out before the weekend. JJ

Harush & Cyber, thank you for your kind efforts on my behalf. I am not convinced that Odey borrowed the shares and promptly sold . If the FYR don't deliver then that's when Mr. Nasty is likely to show his true colours. At least that's my view. If I had a few billion I would take great delight in scuppering his plans. Lets hope for fantastic results so he rues the day he shorted MTRO. JJ

Hello Cyber, I wonder if you could explain something for me. Lets assume that we are notified in a RNS that say XX has a short of 1% of the stock. Now my understanding is that means XX has borrowed that 1%. But does it mean XX has already sold those shares or could XX be waiting for the moment to do so? If the latter this would explain how we are seeing a small rise in the share price but XX could be about to sell a chunk of shares he has borrowed and so cause the share to drop. For example XX could sell on results day with the result that small innocent investors panic and exacerbate the drop; so XX wins. Your thoughts would be much valued, and I'm not implying you are a shorter but you may be the one to help. I've asked this before but no one wants, or has been able to answer. JJ

Good morning; and its been a good news day, so why is the share still in the doldrums? I was expecting at least a 25% lift by now, and a narrowing of the spread. JJ

Cyber, a small change in your tune. JJ

Sax, no prediction, but hoping Dan gives a very positive message as to what the coming months have in store for our investment in MTRO. JJ

You are expecting a 42% increase without new detail relating to MTRO profitability, most unlikely, but never say never. JJ

Try some prunes perhaps. JJ

Brixton that makes you a young un. I loved the buses when you could run and catch one as it was leaving the bus stop and grab the pole to swing on. Also go upstairs if the conductor was downstairs so you could dodge the fare if not going very far. Happy days. JJ

Crumbs I remember going out with 10 bob (50p) in my pocket and could have 6 pints. JJ

SUFCESSEX, I sincerely hope you are not "fixing your income" your income. I retired at age 50 and 'am now aged 72; my pension has risen throughout that period.
Inflation is the enemy for me as there is a cap on the rate at which my pension keeps pace with the cost of living. My advice, keep reviewing your plans, situations change. Good luck. JJ

Below 4%, maybe explaining the small increase yesterday. JJ

Hope you are not suggesting I'm a shorter as I have held NWG since the late 1970's. JJ

"The shorters are getting twitchy", an absolute nonsense post; and you call me an idiot, I think you can wear that hat very well yourself. JJ

And you call yourself an accountant! JJ
