''The current sp is very cheap.

Buying sub 300p is no brainier''

you are like a broken record - still nowhere near your 280p prediction from a few years ago (equivalent to about 320p now).

I will most likely sell some before reaching anywhere near 320p

''Swapped from Aviva to LGEN a few months ago ''

Aviva has been by far the better investment for me over the years.

I am up only about 35% + up with LGEN but about 140% with Aviva (both excluding dividends) - could the future performances be different, that is the question.

''300p would only be an increase of 12% above the current price''

and will still be below the predicted price from Fakey a few years ago of 280p - which bearing in mind the buybacks would be equivalent to a current price of about 320p

''keep your nose out of anything I write''

oh dear - as I said, not the most intelligent of people. This is an investors board to read and to respond to. I can't help it if you do not like the responses

the link worked fine

''The previous link involved a verification link that wouldn't work for me, so I put up one that I found easier.''

and? - as I perilously said, a link to the article had already been posted - you are a bit slow

Alas

I have posted a few times already, but I only still have 25% of that purchase - still worth a lot though, having sold the rest by the time the price got to about 625p

Alas

today may well have seen the near term low - who knows - only investors will decide that.

I cannot see it going back to my 188p purchase price .

For investors wishing to get on board at a good current discount

pathetic

Wok

you appear to not like your nonsense statements having been pointed out. Try thinking a bit more before posting

Wok

of course my posts are of use - to point out your nonsense statements.

''give it a rest mate''

and so you continue.

why have you wasted your time on your last post - it is of no use to investors.

Let it go

''You are the most boring person''

I thought accounts were supposed to be the most boring people.

''not replying to everything that someone posts that you dont like to read or see''

The board is here to post on - and when nonsense is posted, a reply is required by the more sensible.

Let it go

An entry by Action into the US is quite a way off, and a determination of whether the model will work or not in the US hopefully could be evaluated at an early stage. A success in the US would of course take the business to new heights. It is up to investors whether or not they wish to be a part of it . They can sell shares at any time

''My word you do know an awful lot. you must be right at least 15 times a day with cobblers like that.''

I know enough to have made a large amount of money from investments

''sometimes see through it and work out what opinions are and dont shoot down everything that you dont agree with.

there are opinions and then there are nonsense statements. - there is a difference.

'' to others it might be what is needed. its not rocket science.''

maybe you should ask others whether they think that selling stakes in Action would propel the market cap or not - it is certainly not rocket science to say that there is no logical reason for that to be the case.

''You might think it is nonsense but there are ways of influencing SP's like telling the market you will reduce the Action stake over time ''

Another nonsense statement - the 3i Group valuation increased to a large premium by market investors on the back of it's investment in a fast growing business ( action ) . I cannot see why investors

would push the share price back up to a high premium on the back of 'Action' share sales.

''advising Action that going to the US might not be the goldmine that they think it is ''

the market has determined that a move into the US may not be as straight forward as has been enjoyed elsewhere - time will tell - investors are free to sell their shares .

''what do i know, a poor humble accountant with no SP to worry about''

You may remain poor if you cannot think straight.

''they need to re-position the SP to at least £30+ in the next few months or they are out on their ear ''

just to add - that statement of course is complete nonsense

Wok

''SP has gone from £40+ to £20 in a few months and management seem to think that is "acceptable" '' .

It is the stock market that determines the valuation of 3i group. As I have said in the past, 3I Group was at a very large premium (about 40%) and was always in danger of losing that kind of premium at some point in time. It is a question from which market cap/ share price level that gains can once more be seen in future years -investors will determine whether today's drop to 1825p will be the floor, in the nearer term or not. The fall must have been welcomed by investors wishing to take a stake in 3i Goup at a discount.
