Yes, those copyrights really do have a value!

Brilliant news........until I realised my 3,920 shares cost me £12,211.

LTH, as you will have guessed.

Thanks for that.

And now, from D. TelegrapH:-

Electric cars risk becoming effectively uninsurable as analysts struggle to put a price on battery repairs, the researcher for the car insurance industry has said.

Jonathan Hewett, chief executive of Thatcham Research, the motor insurers’ automotive research centre, said a lack of “insight and understanding” about the cost of repairing damaged electric car batteries was pushing up premiums and resulting in some providers declining to provide cover altogether.

"The company is profitable."

I must be reading a different Trading Update.

You'd think (expect) so. Do any analysts cover Smiths? If so should get an update fairly soon on this news. If anywone spots an Analyst's Note please post link up here.

"The dividend rate was noted as 1.1325 pence per share instead of the correct figure of 1.3125 pence per share"

The nerves showing??

Answering my own question - have just manageed to vote my shares held with HL (had to phone them though).

Waiting to hear back from iDealing as to wherher they will vote the shares I hold with them.

Sad though that neither informed me that a vote was to take place and whether or not I could do that through them. Not all nominee holders might be aware - insts and holders of certificates will have received something in the post.

Anyone holding these in nominee accounts whose brokers are enabling them to vote on sale of assets or continuation proposal??

Probably me being naive - but could be that there are more sellers than buyers.

Sold the balance this morning - too embarrassed to say how much I lost - but at least I can now stop thinking about it.

DCF Valuation £112.

Tried to attend AGM via Zoom but unsuccesful. Did anyone manage it and if so were there any interesting questions with corresponding interesting answers given?

Well I sold some today - so the bottom is bound to be in.

Apologies if someone has already posted this

Depends on whether you mean "what they're doing" or what's happening as a result of "what they're doing".

What they're doing is trying to narrow the discount between what they say is the NAV and the share price. They feel they can do that by selling off some of the "jewels" for a smaller discount and use the proceeds to pay off some expensive debt and buy back some shares in the market for what they feel is a cheap price.

What's happening as a result is a matter of trust - it looks as though investors don't like what theyre doing and probably don't trust management.

There's a continuation vote coming up shortly but I can't see their actions above will have enough effect in time to make much difference to investors' feelings. I'm also not sure how much management really care which way the continuation vote goes anyway. If the vote goes for winding up then management could just sell all the assets to the "other" Hipgnosis and not be that much worse off - they manage the "other" Hipgnosis anyway so would continue being richly rewarded.
