Noticed this morning BLVN down 42% why because it's gone ex/div The Company issued an RNS 7th Jan outlining a special dividend of 15p a share circa 50million excess cash . Today the share has lost just under half it's value however the shareholders have retained their holding but now have an equivalent amount of cash in their pocket to either increase their holding or buy shares in a n other Can you imagine what would happen here if BMN were to do something similar you think the MMs have a problem now. Have I misinterpreted this because it seems to good to be true

I could not have put that response any better, good on you

How the New York Times see's it
r. Soames, a Conservative politician, repeated lines from a poem, by Edwin J. Milliken, that his grandfather had quoted to express his despair at Britain’s political paralysis in the face of the Nazi threat: “Who is in charge of the clattering train? The axles creak, and the couplings strain. For the pace is hot and the points are near, and Sleep hath deadened the driver’s ear, and signals flash through the night in vain. Who is in charge of the clattering train?”

Sobering thought as I for one have no idea

Bit OTT but people are waking up to reality, renewable is at the forefront

Petrol and diesel-driven cars, aircraft and ships run on fossil fuels, and carbon-emitting power plants and factories would disappear in the next four decades.
They would be replaced by zero-carbon alternatives such as electric cars, modern-style sailing vessels and renewable energy sources.

Thanks for posting its a good read I especially like this bit:

Reposition Eskom to play an active role in the renewable energy sector and
promote public ownership in renewable energy infrastructure.
• Investigate the cost-benefit of introducing solar panels in state buildings and
mandate new commercial and residential developments in the medium term to
use renewable energy technologies to reduce utility costs. These should include
deploying clean energy solutions to provide lighting and small power needs in
the informal settlements.

Bring it on

What a horrible start to the year for the guys on flybe you have to feel for them

When you read and understand the implications of what is unfolding here it beggars belief seriously 30 million year on year population increase plus everything else that's going on. Have to say makes me smile when I see today Motley still advocating sxx as a good long term hold when are these guys going to wake up.

This may help taken from end of year summary
At a corporate level we initiated a process to review our organisational capacity in light of not only the growth we have achieved but the ambitious journey still ahead. We added new members to our management team and have reinforced our Board, through the appointment of Michael Kirkwood as a senior independent non-executive director. We anticipate further strengthening of our Board and management team in 2019.

The only risk you have is waiting before you buy in its only a matter of time before this explodes again, failing that Trump might pull a rabbit out the hat

Nice to see your back on form

A lesson in how to promote oneself

From what i am reading this smacks of capitulation to the scum the first place new investors will look is on here not twitter, new investment is the life blood of any share. Although I admit i try not to engage with them they do need to be kept in check with sound well informed replies as witnessed today. Please give it some thought before you post elsewhere it's no good preaching to the converted.

The nest is infested looks like a good delouse is in order

I would like to support your efforts do you need an email ?

True but as I said earlier this morning 50p and beyond will live or die by it (for 2018 that is) why run so close to the wire

For balance RNS expectation high this week, dividend and battery progress for sure, won't rattle the brethren but a few chancers getting twitchy

Get at least one close out RNS for 2018 I will be a little disappointed if we don't but with so many irons in the fire accept it's a moving target

You may be right to be fair I didn't soak up the article I was just just alluring to the fact they are orchestrating large deals

Our new joint broker in action big things to come here guys methinks
