Quite! I'd have been more than happy to have taken a piece of that (if only us mere mortals had had a chance).

"Trading in the last seven weeks has been materially better than the guidance we issued in May and we are updating the market accordingly."

Should be good for us.

This should help:-

A good chunk of mine are held in my pension - so the next generation will get to benefit too. :-)

Maybe he felt he had to - is 15,000 shares that much of a ringing endorsement?

Happy to hold.

Must surely be worth an additional bonus for the BOD????

Lots of mentions of Hipgnosis but pretty sure it must have been the Blackstone backed entity that was in discussions (we don't have the money). All adds to the confusion and not particularly helpful to shareholders in SONG:-

Shore Capital expects a boost from Boohoo

Shore Capital has upgraded fast-fashion retailer Boohoo (BOO) as there is potential for margin improvement despite declines in its market share.

Analyst Eleonora Dani lifted her recommendation from ‘hold’ to ‘buy’ and retained a 54p target price on the shares which jumped nearly 12%, or 4.5p, to 42p after annual results.

The group reported stronger figures for 2023 than expected, with revenues down 11% year-on-year but still better than consensus.

‘Our projected full-year 2024 ebitda has been raised by 12%, and there is potential for further gains driven by margin improvements,’ she said.

‘Despite a recent decline in Boohoo’s market share, the upcoming fiscal year offers favourable year-on-year comparisons, along with a streamlined inventory and the phased launch of a US warehouse, which are expected to boost the company’s prospects.’

Lovely sounding scenario but just to pick up on one of your points - surely the surety bond is paid to the court, not to Burford. They would then have to wait for Argentina to lose any appeal and, given Preska's history, who's to say how long that might take.

In case you needed a bit of confirmation that you're in the right share

WoW! Didn't think I'd get the chance but sub 50p too good to ignore.

Not sure what more the sellers could have wanted.

Oh dear! They decided to release results at 18.23 on the Friday before a Bank Holiday.

So, obviously, they were excited to share the news.

National Grid is quitting its foray into developing carbon capture and storage in the UK, in a blow to the Government's net zero ambitions.

The FTSE 100 company is abandoning its plans to develop new pipelines in the Humber region to take carbon dioxide emissions out to the North Sea.

Its National Grid Ventures arm is in talks to sell the onshore pipeline project to partners, and has already quit another phase of the project.

Carbon capture and storage is considered key to the Government’s plans to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, but is not yet up and running at scale in the UK.

Power plants in the Humber region hoping to start capturing their emissions missed out on a fresh round of government support announced at the end of last month.

National Grid said it wants to focus instead on its electricity networks, which are in major need of upgrades to help cope with the rise in wind farms, electric cars and heat pumps.

Well I guess it's better that they're buying rather than selling - but under £15,000 worth for the CFO is hardly earth shattering. You could argue, that if he was really convinced then he'd buy ten times that amount.
