the auditors?

tks...nice to see hsba building some support c£5

imv...holding up remarkably well here at support...but unlikely to defy gravity of situation/headwinds (pleasing mixed metaphor)

need some comfort on the equity cushion for its debt pile ...aal were too leveraged in the good times....2008 was too brief to remind management here that commodity cycles are appalling: long, brutal & seemingly overshoot (just look at iron ore...why hasn't the mythical high cost supply stopped? perhaps cos chinese producers act in ways that tradition marginal cash operating cost analysis suggest is irrational)

interesting to watch from sidelines

sp imv ....headwinds incl glut of new shares sloshing around; global economy (esp emerging) struggling with fed lift off/moribund eu; sc in early stages of tough turnaround with plenty of bad news/writedowns possible (probable?) ...like with aal in mining sector, sc stands out as a weak player in tough times...that are likely to get tougher ...and tougher ...imv

too much to ask ...teens in clear sight

they do ...time to even up the info: beef up audit standards...and keep tabs on the execs (incl escrowing their shares and sales proceeds) ...worst than daft to trust directors...we don't trust athletes ...it's pretty simple stuff: cui bono?

courtesy reuters OPEC looked set to maintain its production policies on Friday and take no steps to curb supply going into 2016 when members Iran and Iraq will boost exports, potentially worsening one of the worst oil gluts in history.

did yr friend the non exec buy in jqw?? talk cheap...just curious/amused..the lack of buying by non chinese non execs in chinese companies screams SELL ...if you can ...imv

who cares....most tips are daft or worse

but that's just the start imv ...the debt rating/refinancing/covenants will be the biggie here...perhaps equity may have to be raised to buttress the balance sheet?...or pressured (almost fire) sales of bits (but to whom and at what price?) ...tough getting tougher

looks high on 1h figures...and most / all of its segments have got worse ....anyone got latest ratings on its debt...can see significant strain there unless commodity market snap higher soon (which seems least likely scenario) ...tough times getting worse imv

carry @1.392 (why so high?)...hope to rebuy c£1 ...still significant premium to tnw, visibility poor & cash used in property purchases worrying

puncture 21-21.5 support....so perhaps a small temporary bounce?

at time of trades...with reasons...is surely one of the better uses of lse ..well done kiev; keep it up

tks for kind post...yr punt has been ok so well done ...clearly all the miners will be volatile for a fair while (bottom feeders and short coverers providing plenty of bounce...while dreadful headwinds limit scope for trend reversal imv) ...so trading the bounces either way attractive (v doubtful about merit of buy and hold)

@43p...getting close to bounce back

wonder whether they pay adequate attention to high cash levels...without adj that might explain plenty of their commentary

for xmas
