''for SUFC

The cancelled shares to date will save £5,014,287.89 from the Final Dividend payment which goes ex-div on 11th April''

hard to know why we have this again this year.

Suf

A saving of 1.84p would be saved on the cost of each share from xd over what it would otherwise be if dividend were not made.

With MS continuing to purchase at sub 50p - needed for 4 Billion + share cancellations

Vodafone now up to about 71p - will soon find out about changes to capital allocation -

hopefully it will involve buybacks

Good results from Aviva.

Good to see it now over 230p for first time in a while

But maybe someone like JCB should note - currently above his 48p sell out price, after a swift rise in valuation. Valuations don't go up in a straight line forever.

Meaningless btw, apart from helping MS.

A PDMR is always going to turn bonus shares/options into cash at some point as there are always new bonus/option shares around the corner.

It is of more interest when/if directors buy.

Maybe one day I will see an increase in my 'for free' shares valuation.

Banks like Lloyds can simply close a branch

Tg

'' already had several interest parties ffs!''

really? - you may find that a sell off of assets was a possibility, but the tied in expensive property leases is a different matter.

Tg

''Virgin Money has 91 branches btw''

what has the old northern rock branches got to do with Metro having expensive leases on their branches - and come to that the co-op branches ?

''from memory - about 110p. That looks outrageously optimistic in hindsight''

I was on here a long time ago when in the ££'s ,warning against the nonsense posts suggesting that once the 'shorts' were out and stakeholders increased their holding then there would be a climb up to near peak prices again £40) .

The business model , including being tied to property leases is expensive and isn't one that is appealing tor another bank . The current valuation is equivalent to only a few weeks net profits of the likes of Lloyds, so buying the whole Metro hasn't been in anyone's sights despite the loose change valuation. Current shareholders will have to hope that profitability can be increased to such an extent that there can be progress from the current 35p level.

''Metro is a sitting duck while market cap is below £500m ''

Yes £240 million is below £500 million.

''metro a likely target now.''

why is that?

Lbp

''Now sat on 600,000 here. ''

of course - excellent for a 25 year old

''This will serve me very well indeed, when it gets to £5 per share here.''

of course

''The US have this very, very undervalued. It will also be $10 in the US.''

of course

As i have said often enough - I post my trades as I make them , so be careful with your accusations - as it just shows that like with others , the truth hurts.

Brix

btw I have a handful of 'for free' Metro shares

Brix

Metro £40 to 35p - says a lot

Brix

''wot a spiteful Bunt.''

why is that - you appear to have got hot under the collar simply from posing a legitimate question - grow up

''The Conservatives wont be in power next year''

that depends on the voters of the UK - should never underestimate how views can change and how quickly

Flec

''but Vodafone isn't a distressed company so any realistic bid would have to be much higher than £1.''

at least £2

''metro a sitting duck''

or dead as a dodo ?
