Re. Nmw, tax threshold and paying tax. The only thing the budget changed was the hourly rate of nmw, which increased. Anyone on nmw working full time was already paying tax before the budget.

If you are referring to Brundle and Stansbury then I agree!

@martmcm What's your point? Of course ashm's performance was driven by em, they specialise in emerging markets. It's widely acknowledged that the last 2 or 3 years have been tough for ashm, due to geo-political events and the macro policies of the world's major economies. Macro policies are starting to turn in favour of emerging markets. It's the outlook for the medium term that most investors are interested in, not the last 3 years. Current sp represents good value, in my opinion, with plenty of upside to the sp, and the decent dividend, which is skewed to the December payout.

And who's going to get rid of the board? Given they are majority shareholders.. Alarm bells have been ringing here for nearly two years, maybe longer, so most early investors sold up when it was between 1p and 2p

Fair comments. I'm struggling to see where the value for shareholders is here. A dividend is years away, low volumes means trading is a waste of effort. There are plenty of companies in the ftse 100 and 250 paying c. 10% dividend with high volumes meaning trading can be lucrative. I sold up here a few days ago, after 3 years at 5% profit. That could have been 30%+ if I had put the money somewhere else. Short of a take over, which seems unlikely at this point in their main products cycle, I can't see anything happening here to benefit shareholders for years. Just my opinion, no doubt many will disagree.

Seems to me phnx has been fairly resilient compared to many over the past week. I am reluctant to top up at these prices, was hoping it would drop below 5, but that seems unlikely now. Certainly nothing to worry about here, unless you are a bed wetter.

Added this to my portfolio yesterday as I think there's plenty of upside in the medium term, plus the dividend. Relieved to see today's news appears to be already priced in.

The overdue demise of the 'Conservative & Unionist Party '.

The capitalist markets appear to disagree with you. Not that Labour are socialist, very centrist.

People here hoping the Recyclus take over is going to get them out of the hole they are in, tragic. Anyone here actually know what Recyclus is worth??? No, I thought not. Anyone bothered to look at Companies House? Last time I looked they had £7000 in the bank. The BOD here have been stuffing their personal bank accounts and pockets with PIs cash for too long. Genuinely feel sorry for anyone still stuck here. Even the turd polishers seem to have disappeared ie sgf, the chain etc..

Not been here for a while, seems like the chain has taken over turd polishing duties. Not up to speed here, but if someone is offloading millions of shares why not assume it is Stanbury or one of his buddies, wouldn't be the first time, through a shell co. Good luck to anyone still invested here, you'll need it.

Voli.zh dates look correct to me. You could always do your own research and share if it differs.

Loving the posts aha, I agree with a lot of what you are saying. Stansbury covertly sold millions of shares through a shell company over a few months so he didn't have to declare director dealing with an RNs, Until the shell company passed the 5% threshold , then the sell off was revealed. I didn't notice one comment on this board about that, which gives some indication of the understanding of most posters here. The whole setup between tm1 , recyclus and others has always been opaque.

Jesus, I'm answering VF question. I don't need to make any judgement on SYN other than the one I have already shared. Goodbye

Could be 10 years or 10 minutes, irrelevant. Doesn't have an impact on the risk profile here.

You can analyse it anyway you like but this is a high risk, potentially, high reward gamble. I've only got money in here that I am prepared to lose.

My understanding is JUP has taken a position in SYNT, presumably the broker is Citibank. Not sure where the take over theory comes from... please correct me if I am wrong.

Difficult time for SYNT holders at the moment.

TM1 has always been leaky so an 18% drop on the day likely means unwelcome news is on the way. I'm sure there will still be plenty on here trying to polish a turd.

You are very 'old school ' if you truly believe mortgage rates are driven by market forces. Recent empirical evidence, which is there for all to see, shows that irresponsible governance by the UK government and, indeed, to some degree, the bank of England has driven the cost of borrowing to increase. Economic theories do not keep up with changing reality.

The only thing that will give shorters concern is firm news on production. While we wait, with the possibility of further dilution. Can see nothing to scare shorters here.
