Are these people at Mortley Fool for real ? 1371p for BLT https://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2014/10/30/bhp-billiton-plc-could-fall-to-1371p/

BHP Billiton freezes pay for chief and top executives

That's great news

Thanks for the reply. I will email them when I have more time. If it goes to the shareholder vote whilst the price is this low I can not see any one voting for the demerger

am I right in thinking there will be no BHP share on the UK market after the demerger ? I have a position in BHP on IG which is in a big minus, will this just be removed and i take the loss ?

Read the link i put on 11th sept http://www.smh.com.au/business/mining-and-resources/bhp-moves-to-ease-uk-backlash-over-spinoff-20140911-10fbkc.html BHP Billiton chief executive Andrew Mackenzie is preparing a visit to the United Kingdom seeking to win over investors frustrated that the resources giant's $15 billion demerged company will not be listed in London. Mr Mackenzie will argue the merits of listing the company, dubbed "NewCo", in just Australia and South Africa – which will mean that more than 42 per cent of British-focused investors may have to sell the new stock.

Well thanks anyway. I got out and put it somewhere better.

The post yesterday morning at 8.21 by Abcdefgh was one of the deciding factors for me to sell. Quote Abcdefgh 08.21 Thursday: ( title) Why price high ? Simple. It stays high until they get your money. After that the price will go down so fast that you will be instantly locked in like a barrel of fish - erh I mean investors. Something is not right. My longs in EMG are rocketing today and I don't even know why.

Possibly be, but I think there is a bit more upside to Barclays. Just waiting for the big investments to start buying in.

I had 5000 shares at 103, I was so tempted to sell them on Wednesday at 102 and take the small loss but didn't. Sold them yesterday morning at 99p and took a bit larger loss. Its the best thing I could have done.

I think they pressed the 2 key instead of a 1

Have I got this right ? there will be NO final dividend ?

In statement on Thursday announcing the conclusion of a strategic review launched in the wake of an accounting scandal at one of its divisions, RSA said it has already started making disposals, worth around 300 million pounds. "We have reluctantly concluded we must ask our shareholders, via a rights issue, for a substantial sum," the group's newly appointed troubleshooting chief executive Stephen Hester said. The group added that a final dividend, "cannot be justified."
