Is the BBC really at fault here, or the fact a plc the size in Interserve just trundle along with no real news, no updates of sorts, during it's most year. Everyone has been left in the dark......

...well that's all I was after ref the RNS! Not much news, but didn't need to be, for the SP to gain some pace. I think this will drift north and back to late 40's soon.

Selling Ambrosia Custard - cripes that's even more of the family silver being sold off! I mean how can you not make eye-watering high margins from canning flippin' custard?!?!? What is going to be left!!

BP really "aced" with their recent results, yet pretty much nothing happened to the SP! These "ace" results come on the back of higher oil prices. Since oil's been dropping in the last few weeks, so has BP's share price. If BP cannot ace the next set of results, then their SP will drop which is unfair. But either way they pay a nice dividend, so I'm remaining. I really don't know what this cash cow can do to get a decent SP.

It would be my opinion that if an RNS is not pushed out today, or first-thing in the morning, then this company is in real trouble. They will be sat in their tower watching this unfold. Their Right Issue is on very thin ground at this price, If they cannot at the very lease release the words "still on track with out business model and unsure why SP is dipping" (which should then let it recover northwards), then silence will to me tell me what I am starting to think.

Purely my own view, but I am guessing when you are 600m plus in debt, having to pay 80m a year in interest to service this debt, and during the "good times" profits were only in the 50m range, then you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to be a tad cautious. Lets hope they find light at the end of the tunnel.

Tiny_tim just ignore the arses, and never feel you can't ask!

KNIGELK, I agree, there is always space on the high-street....but for an independent, good quality family type butchers. Crawshaw's in my opinion (although limited), seemed more of a commercial enterprise - thus would be competing with your supermarket grade meat! I made mentioned a long time ago that it had 40 shops or so, made a mere ONE million profit, but had a market cap of a staggering 70 million plus...MADNESS! It was all based on their ideal to roll out 200 plus stores...it was all hot air. I am sure the shop-staff will find employment elsewhere during the festive period.

well no surprise here, anyone thinking a discount butchery chain with a handful of shops going against the supermarkets was a bright idea to invest needed their heads testing. I was always in disbelief at their SP/Valuation.

Closing Price 575!

It would be nice if it worked like that!!!! Knowing my luck, it'll go down or something silly!!!!

It would be nice to see back to 6, and even higher! Mind you, I did give up reading the stats this morning - they do go on a bit, and much of it is beyond my little brain!

Blooming Heck Bigsmoke…………….

fruitbat, I think that was a very good move. I think you'll make an easy 10pc in the very short-term on that, and it's a safe bet if BP are the cash cow that all the experts are stating. I bought in earlier this week with a spare 1.8k, but got at an overall 545, but again I don't think we are going any further south than present.

Rubbish advise, it'll recover back to late 5's very soon!

So is it now safe to say this share isn't going to hit the £10 & £20 that many predicted just recently!!!!!

And Lloyds Q3 results due out in the morning if anyone holds them?!

It feels better to be in the 170's now, so I'm slightly happier. I can see this ticking up to mid to late 180's in the next week, or so.

Yes, I believe divi-payment is the 9th Nov. The PHTM share is a little up and down, mind you it was stable in the 120's for a month or two. You appear to be looking more long term, whereas for me, as soon as it's hits 128p, then I'd have made 20% (taking in to account the dividend the week after next) and I'll be off. Dividend-wise I think PHTM is over the 7% range, which in itself can be alarming. Although it; along with the sudden drop is what attracted me to invest in the first instance. PHTM accounts for 18% of my investments on the LSE, and for me this is too high. I might even reduce down to a thousand shares, so I keep my hat in the ring throughout the next year.

well the RNS said aiming toward 6.5p for 2018. I think they have already paid 2.5p.
