Flakey...
...in a previous life I dealt with the 'great unwashed' on a daily basis and know full well that 70% of them think that the State owes them a living as they collect their 'benefits' then drive off in their brand new cars !!
Also, I believe that Benefit fraud hit new record highs last year , reaching over £8 billion :-0
Nuff Said...

I believe Bryan Ferry may be a shareholder and he's not selling !!!.....

The main protagonists here are playing games and it's getting silly.............

Stevie....
What is it that you would like to know...??
Whether it's Bourbon Creams or Chocolate Hobnobs...
Tea or Coffee...
Milk & Sugar ?...
What time they had a dump ???...
Being a shareholder (if you are!) does not allow you access to such 'insider knowledge'.
Get Real.... When there is actual news it will be promulgated to all....
:-))

No X,
I'd say it was more like.... 19/20 Home win 10/1 Draw 20/1 Away win

Hi Ginge,
My opinion, and it's just an opinion, not advice, would be to "HOLD"
.... and if you notice, this stock is suspended !!... so not much else anyone can do otherwise!!
You can call that Irony.... Sarcasm... or whatever you like. :-))

If the SOA is altered surely it would need another vote as it was the original SOA conditions that were actually voted on ???

Does that include ISA ???

Perhaps the FCA should focus on these practices in future .......

Hidden Ownership through Cash-Settled Equity Swaps.
Derivatives are an important class of financial instruments that has taken centre stage in today’s capital markets. The reason for their increasing popularity is two-fold: they offer risk protection, and they allow innovative investment strategies. In particular, in a regulatory environment
where disclosure requirements are triggered by voting rights rather than economic interest, derivatives can be used to conceal equity.
This practice—generally known as “hidden ownership”—is being used by investors and
strategic bidders for the purpose of discretely accumulating equity stakes in business corporations listed on European stock exchanges.
For example, an investor that intends to avoid disclosing to the market an ownership position in a public company may do so by acquiring from a derivatives dealer a long cash-settled swap covering the equity position.
Depending on what the investor’s ultimate intentions are, should it decide to exercise the voting rights resulting from the equity position, it may terminate the swap arrangement and purchase the underlying shares from the dealer.
As just described, this hidden ownership scheme allows the undisclosed retention of de facto voting rights exercisable at the investor’s discretion.

"Too true, tomorrow is no talking just listening, agreed?"
Does that include the Trolls ??? mmmmmmmm ;-))

You think Amigo will win but scared to invest !!!!
Well why not 10% or 25% or 50% of your intended overall investment pre court case ....
the rest after then....
Good Luck

I am looking forward to a major tree shake tomorrow morning.... I have my bucket at the ready to scoop up any fallen fruit ......yum yum ;-))

LTH.....I'm also only semi-sensible but I am never "happy" to lose any of my investments...;-))

You mean "afford" to lose or put another way..... what the wife doesn't know about !!!!!

Mr Jennison seems a switched on and experienced banking/finance turnaround specialist.
He knows how to work with the FCA and get their approval, as he has done previously.
I fully expect he has been meeting with them over the last few days to thrash out a new improved compo plan for all consumers that the FCA is happy with. This will be presented at the start of the hearing ,pre-approved by the FCA, ready for rubber stamping....... job done.
Stay strong peeps.

This notion of a 50/50 gamble is getting a little tiresome.... then again that is what the Trolls want isn't it , to "win" the argument by making you tired of arguing!!
As Mark Twain ( quoting Disraeli ) said......
“There are three kinds of lies:.... Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics.”

A learned judgement by using the principles of law based on the evidence laid in front of him is not a 50/50 coin toss by the Judge . No matter how many times someone says it is....!!!

Nuff Zed ;-))

No No No........ it's Balls of Steel....... not Crystal Balls !!! ;-))

Best make sure there are some Chocolate Hobnobs on his plate then!!!

Hi all,
Perhaps someone on this illustrious board who has a background in legal matters, maybe works in the judicial system and has extensive experience of the High Courts could answer this...??
Has it ever been known/recorded for a High Court Judge to make his learned decision on a case by the tossing of a coin???????
