Have you heard of that little thing called "debt"?...

That would be insider trading, so no.

So the Ukrainian government will seize the assets of a heavy industrial company run by Ukrainians in Ukraine to help rebuild the industry of Ukraine? LMFAO!

Even Dogger69 came up with less ridiculous drivel.

The longer it takes to hear about a spring (that will soon become summer at this rate) offensive, the longer the SP will drift down.

For all we know, the offensive has already started but it's kept under wraps (e.g. maybe because Ukraine is actually chipping away at Russia's positions rather than doing a big counter-attack), but ultimately there are no big flashy news to raise the market's morale in the short term.

This time, the F16 go-ahead hasn't lifted the SP. So we'll have to wait longer to witness the resumption of the rise then...

Alex1978 - it’s purely about sentiment.

Same reason the SP soared when it was announced Ukraine had recaptured large chunks of territory about 6-8 months ago.

It’s just events confirming that Ukraine is having the upper hand which boost the SP, even though there is no immediate impact to the business.

TerryMC1 - “ that would be valued in the billions if not for this situ”. -> “would be”, but it’s not.

Any micro company could be valued in the gazillions if it were not for [insert story here]. Right now it’s a (relatively) small cap, hence more easily influenced by PI’s actions. IF / when it’s back on the mid to high 200’s or more, then we can talk again.

At least we both agree that #FXPO is likely (not guaranteed though) to soar from the current level.

Terry MC1 - you are mistaken or ignore history. Companies with relatively small marcap like FXPO can be influenced by PI actions. Proof: the GameStop and AMC situations in the USA.

It’s also why it can be a criminal offence to share confidential or false info on BBS too.

FXPO may soar if the G7 concludes that F16 and other modern jet fighters will be delivered to Ukraine.

That same happened when Ukraine recaptured swathes of territory last year

Blackrock is effectively hedging its bets by employing two different types of instruments, i.e. shares (or sales thereof) and CFDs.

SL hit at 447

435p - purchased based on the fact that SP did not retrace below the previous day's high yesterday, and the rumours, reported of the FT, of two separate t/over interests.

I also note that the buying volume is much higher than the selling volume currently.

And right on cue, the volume of buys is just picking up again... LOL.

But right now it is holding 450p well. Volume on the 5min much much lower on the way down from the 460's, much much more volume for the way up earlier. So more interest from the bulls.

Best case a renewed takeover offer accepted by the BoD.

I probably wouldn't go as far as shorting it as summer is indeed an enormous contributor to profit, but the case isn't clearly bullish anymore. It's just mediocre IMO.

You appear to try throwing at me inaccurate or vague info to divert people from the fact you cannot substantiate your claims.

1- The place to ask for documents is the online investor info form. It's not a company secretary's job to respond to shareholder and investor enquiries.

2- There is no charge recorded on 4 May, only ones on 3rd and 2nd may May. Even giving you the benefit of the doubt and that you simply confused the date by one day, what exactly look odd / outstanding about that 3rd May charge?

For everyone else's info: a "charge" is effectively a collateral placed a company's assets in exchange for a debt. This is normal for any business needing to borrow large amounts of money as part of its operations. Marston's debt figures are well publicised.

The results are not "great", they are OK.

And poor vs other pub chains that have swung back into actual profit. Marston's is still loss making (even though the loss is clearly smaller) in spite of all covid restrictions having been lifted nearly 6 months before that financial year.

Where are they please? I could not find them.

That depends on what your average price is!

A takeover at 115p per share, I’d be very happy.
