As soon as you try to date the pretty girl she plays hard to get. ;-) Give it time.

Probably a better link and not behind a firewall https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-provident-fin-chairman-death/provident-financial-chairman-manjit-wolstenholme-dies-suddenly-idUKKBN1DO0MS

Er, the last CEO actually DIED in post last Nov. https://www.ft.com/content/e0a8b840-f5bf-34c7-92a8-5475b987eb14

Dino....jeez, don't you know what happened to the last CEO?? Try googling it! You clearly know such a lot about PFG..!

"The price shown here is 15 minutes delayed unless you subscribe to live prices." but so is the London Stock Exchange figures. And at 13;34 they are showing 674p versus 707p

Why is there such a discrepancy in reported sp compared to the London Stock Ex price. At the moment the sp above is 711p but the London Stock Ex is showing 673p

#Just My Opinions I subscribe to SwS (first year). I'm not sure if you can fully trust the info as some of it seems to be outdated. If you look at the snowflake for Provident, it is up amongst the best out there but that cannot be the case. It is described as a very undervalued DIVIDEND PAYER..... but as we know there is no divi. https://simplywall.st/stocks/gb/diversified-financials/lse-pfg/provident-financial-shares

RduR - they were talking about potential FCA fines and I was emphasising the point that brokers just make up big bad scarey numbers to frighten off PIs. Then they seem to build the momentum to shake the tree some more. You know what was said about potential fines for PFC....it seemed to be an outbidding war of who could think up the most ridiculous number.

Potential fines - (if any) ?? No one knows until it actually happens. Does anyone still expect Petrofac to receive a one billion dollar/pound fine (other than the brokers and shorters )? These brokers seem to work off each other to issue ever increasingly bleaker pictures to drive out the private investors.

Why is the SP displayed as being 920p?

Next Divi will be XD 15 Feb...here's a link to BPs investors page ( crap layout Mr BP!) https://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/investors/information-for-shareholders/dividends.html I wonder if they will tweak it upwards?

Liberum have cut their price target by a full 4p.

Just seen Wolverhampton Labour MP John Reynolds on BBC saying how sad it is etc etc. I wrote to all 3 ( yes, three) Wolverhampton Labour MPs and they did SFA.

Why does the collapse of C cause extra cost for GFRD?

CrystalBall.....try copying the web site address from the header bar and copying into Google - then hit return. Not elegant but it might get you to where u need to be.!

xbb - i tend to agree with you here. Even a small divi (tesco style) would appease a lot of people.

I would question any numbers issued today by any of the construction firms. I would want to see how GFRD suddenly derives such a big number for them!

Over on the PFC board I looked at the relationship between shorting levels and share price over the last 5 years and I came to the conclusion that there was no strong relationship. As a shareholder in IRV ( and Carillion !) I don't see any weakening in ,say, Kier as a result. IRV needs to sort out the last EFW installation ASAP and move on. Sometimes I feel that the shorters have a certain pot of money that they must spread around. Hence you get 5 of them shorting at 0.51% ( look at the headlines when Tesco was shorted at 3.5% over Christmas...you'd think Tesco were going bust!). Question...if hedge fund shorters are so all seeing, all knowing...why did they have no position in Provident Financial or Interserve BEFOREHAND? Shorters rely on sentiment!

Lots of derampers here...are you really necessary? If .Gov doesn't reluctantly give a 300 m loan then the smelly stuff hits the fan for Brexit Britain. Work in HS2 will go to Eiffage..so there's a kicker...giving more work to a FRENCH company when you could save a BRITISH company? What sort of message does that send out? Meanwhile, if Carillion s work is split off to other companies..guess what...it ain't gonna be at the same price is it? So, the UK taxpayer will be paying anyway. 20,000 people laid off plus additional knock on subcontractor lay offs translates to a lot of unemployment benefits and then you've got the poor pension fund to sort out...whose gonna pay for that?

SKY... probably not shorted but aren't they USA owned by Fox...or soon to be?
