How does the remuneration of a positive compare with someone working for Hermes or similar?
The way it is going, the posties will be finding out first hand!

Do the math.. how many claims per week in August? 600000 to 800000 claims? That's well over 3 million new claims in a single month. People must be making multiple claims in their name, their children's name and all their pets ( dead and still living ).

I doubt they will pay out.

Probably be IMB & JTI.

Hey Mandrill, I reckon you should go b*lls deep shorting PFC. You'll make a killing. I'd remortgage the house and sell off the kids to slavery as well. makes sense.. see ya.
I promise I'll throw a few quid in your cup if I see you at the station ... promise!

There'll be no special divi. ..did you not see the EPS figure?

Errr.. (red face).... I might have just missed a few noughts off that! ( although I could have swore that the "m" was there before I posted! )

He bought £10 quids worth of shares in 2018 in a single buy..not an insignificant amount. It increased his holding by 1 % to just under 19%. So, his family have skin in the game.

If I was innocent I'd be taking the SFO to court for defamation of character.

The wife was looking over my shoulder at the new cruise ship .... my wallet is nervous... wouldn't 2 weeks in Benidorm be just as good, dear ?

The new cruise ship looks very nice (nice prices for a top cabin, too!).

WG debt - look at how PFC have reduced their debt from similar levels. Wasn't WG debt due to acquisition of AMFW (certainly they didn't pay cash).

IRV - they lied.

It's "bad nasty dirtywork" as it actually involves making things and not just pushing money around. Just one up the ladder from coal mining.

There won't be much left of the UK construction industry. Still, we can always rely on the French to look after THEIR industries and, when UK construction is no more, they can come over here and give .GOV (i.e. the tax payer) a price for building libraries & hospitals (Carillion - Brum library!!) or other public buildings.

The writing is on the wall for low margin businesses. The shorters have seen through the disguise and it's an easy recipe to make money. It is however, down to bad management.

"One month payroll for Kier (£4k x 20,000) = £80mil can almost buy the whole Kier."

But why would you want to? This is not looking good.

The hedge fund managers have got their teeth into Kier and it is in their interest to drive the price to zero in a controlled manner. Pending a miracle, there's only one way this is going. Another company killed off by greedy hedge fund managers and poor management which the professional shorters see right through.

Dont try to catch this knife.

I'm a lot more bullish on 5g VOD than BT..the latter will struggle big time, especially when the CEO has telegraphed a divi cut!

Why do people need BT? It was for the broadband connection. Now, VOD is offering a 5g connection and unlimited data and a mobile phone also included! All for a very similar price to a BT landline. And no more annoying calls from "Alan" (phoning from India?)which BT have done nothing to tackle. I'll be dumping my landline as soon as 5g arrives in my locale..I won't need BT.

Anything that is trading over NAV needs to do so for a good reason. Clearly 80% over NAV is a nonsense. Train was warning people at much lower levels. Why pay £1.80 for a loaf worth £1? Daftness ..and now the bubble has popped.

Yes, you'd lose 5% on the spread before you even start. Then you;d be buying something at a price well over the underlying NAV.

Looks like the Nick Train bubble is leaking gas.
