''it is one of the reasons why the share price is where it is now.''

Yes, without buybacks there would now be 77,204,312,967 shares in issue

Based on an about current market cap of £56 Billion, that would have equated to about 72.5p per share

Remember - we are still only at a pre consolidation price of about 20p, so against historical prices still very low

A purchase at about 82p a little over 3 years ago along with a couple of purchases at a little over £1 have done the trick for me - sometimes beneficial to push the boat out, if not seeing a complete collapse in a business

A few at 312.5p, further reducing the average price of my remaining shares.

Saga had been a laggard in my portfolio for quite a while- that is no longer the case - now in a comfortable paper profit situation

''Brexit made EU citizens feel unwelcome, and many returned to their home countries ''

what a load of ballax - if only

The majority of the British do not want the many millions that have flooded into the country to be here - unfortunately the 'unwelcome' mat doesn't appear to be doing the job of them wanting to return to their home countries does it stupid.

''I am down from over 2000% gain to about a 1600% gain.''

No you are not.

The only thing that should be down is you - down to a mental institution.

Attention seeking troll - you have never held shares in 3I and never held shares in Lloyds, and that goes also for the other boards that you may troll on.

''I am not an investor here. I was, but sold at a significant loss.''

says it all - shareholders of HFEL will decide for themselves whether or not they are happy to continue to be so.

Personally I have a low average price on which I am receiving a fantastic dividend yield from most of the earnings that are distributed to shareholders with any left overs going into the dividend reserve fund.

I made a purchase in April at about 186p and made a sale at about 254p in October - very happy with that capital growth.

A trust wallowing itself would end end with a share price of zero.

''You can't expect capital growth from an investment trust paying a large yield from capital''

Don't start this complete nonsense yet again - had enough of it last time.

Dividend is more than covered by income which is why they also have a good dividend reserve fund - end of

''Got in at 1.95 if i double my money ill be happy''

you probably 'only' paid about a 30% premium to tnav - so long as you are happy with that - you along with all the other gamblers are setting the price to be paid

AIC

''£3m to £4m macp incoming''

£4 million would mean a share price at about 0.4p - less than the new placing cash per share.

Anx

''as when the SP was 52p and now 2p - absolutely perplexed''

I had said many times - it was up to gamblers how much they wanted to hand over to warrant holders.

Gamblers were in control and will be in control of the share price - currently below 2p

Jack

''send us over some recommendations''

I don't do recommendations, but I do post my trades.

I had already posted about my purchase of BRWM (a proper mining trust) at about 575p less than 4 months ago and getting a good dividend with it.

Met1 is now a gamblers investment company

Bow

''should be shooting up with all these buys ''

there have bee over a 115 million shares sold so far today

Still over £20 million

May well be coming from gamblers money that they handed over to warrant holders, with some of their vast profits recycled back

Cr

''why couldn't they do a placing at a higher price a few weeks back ffs''

try thinking - for the same reason why other non shareholders wouldn't pay more than 2p for their about 800,000,000 shares.

Met1 still trading above tnav

Ped

''prefer to look at PE trusts trading on discounts to NAV''

If anyone else had your preference, since about 14 years ago, they would have missed out on the share price going from about £2 to about £45
