The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
I had an account with Halifax a while ago and experienced the same issue...but for reasons totally unrelated to Reabold I closed down my ISA Account with Halifax and then opened up an ISA Account with ...XO.co.uk ...and a little while later a SIPPS Pension with ....AJ Bell ...Both of these Share Trading Companies are much better value than the Halifax for different reasons and both allow Reabold Shares to be traded ..
So some of us find out this message board find out that Stephen Williams drives a Lamborghini and Sachin Oza drives a Ferrari....But are these sporty type of cars that unusual for any C E O in any sector to be driving when one considers the average pay of a typical C E O ???....I mean had it turned out that they were driving around in 3 wheeled Reliant Robins I reckon that would have given all the shareholders a very big surprise.!!!...As Del Boy would say ..Lovely Jubbly !!
From my understanding institutions hold a large percentage of the shares in Reabold.( Possibly around 52% but I do not have the most update information) ..
... Unlike some shareholders posting here they will not be voting simply just as an Anti S and S Vote .....It seems now very likely that the board take over is going to be a failure as Institutional Shareholder Service have come out and stated ... Pershing's Proposals Lack Detail...
Dear Mr Jack Of Diamonds ...I do not object to the idea of replacing the directors as I perfectly understand nothing hurts more than someones investment being down in value when it comes to shares .....What I object to is the idea that the new people who apparently have a either a very poor track record or not any proper experience are going to be voted into the top jobs ....Are you prepared to state that their will be a definite improvement in their share price once they are installed...Its like you will be happy with any Tom Dick or Harry as long as the current two are voted out ...
Yes ..but that is not really a fair comment is it ...If for example somebody like an experience operator in this sector such as Zephyr Energy etc.were trying to replace the board and prepared to pay a premium for the outstanding shares because they felt confident they could improve the situation then I could perfectly understand why you would vote for change....But just voting for non entities in order either to get your own back on the current directors and /or hoping in some way this must or will make things better is very unlikely to produce some glorious imaginary outcome for current share holders ...
I agree with a previous post in that normally when a company is being acquired ...a premium on outstanding shares for that company will be paid if the bidder/s believe that the value of that company will become greater once acquired..In this case nothing is being offered for Reabold other than what the potential bidders already hold ....If they were really that confident they could improve the situation for shareholders surely they would offer some sort of premium for the company..??? Some existing shareholders here should try see this as not just about an Anti S and S Vote but explain why they are okay with this being more like a Roman Abamovich style take over ( in reference to events in Russia) which will do absolutely nothing to benefit the shareholders apart from enriching a new group of people who will be taking no personal risk themselves to achieve their goals ...
On Monday ( 1st November) I became a Reabold shareholder again after a break for a while, but this Wednesday morning my jaw dropped when I saw the letter from the board which had been posted through my letter box ....I had gotten used to the idea that events happen at a snail's pace with Reabold so I was genuinely shocked to have received the letter in such a quick pace of time !!!!...As for voting I am still mulling this over ...I perfectly understand why people wish to vote the current two C E O s out but to vote simply as on an ...Anti established board basis ...as many of the messages convey is not enough to convince me as I see very little posted on the advantages of voting for the new people apart from one apparent single factor that they are supposed to hold a higher percentage of shares within the company...
I agree ...there are simply too many post here where shareholders simply want to talk about the current record of the two C E Os and for obvious reasons have an axe to grind ....I would like some one to explain here why the situation is going to be better when Reabold have a new board...It is going to be very good for them if they get voted on but what plan do they have to increase the value of the share price???? Can someone here give us a different post on this subject to explain how this is going to happen ????
For understandable reasons some shareholders are ready to dump the current Board in the hope that a new board will somehow come up with a plan to massively improve the share price..But this does need more careful consideration than simply looking at the past record of the current Board ...What I mean by this ...could it be akin to when the public get dissatisfied with say that the current government could not deliver everything that people wanted ...and then the next lot get voted in on some false hope that they can magically make everything better????... If the new lot do have a plan to improve the situation shareholders do need to make sure that these plans are properly examined and that they are genuinely voting to improve the situation rather than falling for a smooth talking group of people who may end up enriching themselves once again at the cost to the shareholders ........For the sake of clarity I am currently watching with a great deal of interest from the sidelines before considering when to jump back in ...
I have been occasionally observing this share for nearly two years then realized by chance yesterday there had been a very recent large drop so I decided on observation of the 5 year chart this is worth a decent punt ... Why the 5 year chart ???? ... Because this shows just when the share price seems to be going to the floor it will then totally change direction and then take back of into outer orbit ...I have absolutely no idea if history can repeat itself but if not then at the very least this should be a fairly safe level to be investing at ...Good luck to all.here whether a very long term shareholder or first day shareholder....
Mr **** up...err sorry Mr Cookoo12620... when you post a reply criticizing another posters message from earlier...why don't you put a reason behind your thinking ??? ..It would make it so much more Interesting To Read !!!!
Now Lloyds is sub 40 pence I am interested in buying here again ( not having held Lloyd's shares for over a year ) but where will the share price land ???... Looking at the technicals there was absolutely no indication the share price was going to head sharply south to 40 pence until after the 20 the September ...there then followed a minor upswing and then another drop to where the share price is now ...News on a GDP contraction in the UK is never good for banking shares so a drop to the mid thirties is possible but against that off course Lloyd's is very good value when considering the Price to Earnings ratio... Another thing to consider is the indirect effect of inflation on the share price...by which I mean if inflation softens over the coming months this will be beneficial for banking shares in general as interest rates will not then go as high as currently forecast
You ask where does the share price go from here ??? .. The share price is tracking the price of oil in a leverage sort of fashion....There is nothing unusual about this ....As an example Gold Mining stocks do pretty much the same thing....There is a clash of fundamentals moving into the winter between an ever tightening supply of oil ..such as Biden draining the SPR reserves and the OPEC cuts and the world wide economy which is possibly entering a severe downturn which is normally bad for oil ...So it is impossible at this moment in time to predict the near term movement for oil without more data but it will not be like 2020 for oil because this time the world economy will not be stopping such as what happened during the pandemic..
Just to update on my post from yesterday in which I said that OPEC plus may cut oil production by one million barrels a day ...well now there is talk in Vienna that a more sizable cut of TWO MILLION BARRELS A DAY or 2 percentage of the worlds oil supplies is being proposed... however this is not confirmed at this stage....This is partly because the Russians want to make it more difficult for the West to take any measures against Russia in relation to energy especially as European sanctions against Russian Oil are meant to proceed in in December...It would also be a blow to Joe Biden who had previously given the order to release a million barrels of oil a day from their SPR reserves ahead of the mid term elections in November ... It is possible that the decisions made by OPEC in Vienna could end up driving the Gulf Keystone Share Price back towards 300 pence at a much quicker rate than anyone imagines at this stage...Good luck to all Shareholders here ..
Brent Crude is back over $90 a barrel.. no doubt spurred on by this week's OPEC plus meeting in which a production cut of over a million barrels a day is being proposed....This group is more powerful than they have ever been in relation to oil and also as the Americans have been slowly draining their reserves in relation to the SPR releases this could turn be a very bullish quarter for oil ...
Yes ..I can understand why you do not trust them .... I remember seeing a very glossy YouTube Video last year in which Sachin Oza and Steven Williams were stating that share holder value would be unlocked once Victory was sold ...Unless I misunderstood the video...and what they were really trying to state was the value of the share would be unlocked to crash southwards once Victory was sold !!!!..... However on the flip side for what it is worth I remember watching last year a Norwegian made drama ( with subtitles) which was based on true events when oil was first discovered of the coast of Norway...Near where the first oil discovery was made the local town people were promised they would become rich through the discovery but for a very very long time (as in years ) because of different issues with drilling the oil out of the sea and political issues nothing happened and the local people became very dissatisfied with the local government officials and the oil company...Then one day when many had given up on believing the early promises ,their lives were changed forever when the oil became commercial...So I have started to rebuild a position here after the recent seismic share price movements and am hoping the same outcome will eventually happen here as in the Norwegian drama for all the long term loyal Reabold shareholders....Live long and prosper...
One thing for shareholders who do not like the idea of a dividend should bear in mind is the fact we have now moved into a period of higher inflation...Why does this matter????..... Because if as an example a shareholder became a UJO investor exactly 5 years ago ( this is just an example) their total gain over this period of time would have been just over 9 % when allowing for the different movements of the share price...This gain would have been wiped out just in the last 12 months alone ( and this does not include the previous 4 years ) when one considers that inflation is now running at over 9 % as well....Now I know that most people here are hoping for a big jump in the share price in the near future....But as nothing in relation to share trades can be absolutely guaranteed.....what if we still found that the share price was around the 30 pence mark this time next year ????...The dividend would at least provide some ( if not total ) compensation for the loss of monetary share value in relation to the effects of inflation....This has not been a major problem since the 1970s but now is a very major problem for anyone trying to preserve the value of their wealth ....I personally take the evil of inflation so seriously I have diversified to make sure I get a much higher dividend to combat the effects of inflation on my SIPPS pension....But each investor must make their own choices on how best to combat inflation of course....
The dividend is definitely the better option as it is easier to measure the benefit to the shareholder...What are the effect of a share buyback....Well looking at companies such as Lloyd's / Taylor Wimpy/ Foxtons/ etc who have been buying back their own shares ...all it seems to have resulted in are very large share price drops during these difficult economic times with hardly any noticable difference to equivalent companies who have not completed share buybacks ...
If you do not like UJO then why not go somewhere like Vodafone???? ...There is not much volatility with their share price...but unlike UJO there is also a very much lower chance to make a decent amount of money in a reasonable period of time. .. Nothing is guaranteed with shares but UJO is as good as any out there at the moment... especially with the uncertain economic times we live in ..
The London Rental Sector for Foxtons appears very strong at the moment...with annual rental prices across the capital rising over 15% in the last 3 months with potential renters outbid by counter offers from other potential renters....Now the market has opened up again post pandemic..there is a strong interest in the London Rental Sector from overseas investors from places such as India/Saudi Arabia/ Qatar and Kuwait where as traditionally investors came more from the Far East ....
