and this doesn't have any price or trades shown?

I am still happy to have my money in them as I think in the end it will come good.

you'll have had some answer in the results for most of your questions, and market reaction was not good. But though it has steadied, certainly not a shoot up to 15p. Why did I say that, now I find it hard to justify. To some extent it was based on previous year old research and expectations which of course would never be in line with now and then some gut feeling (never much use that one) and hope. Sorry it was drivel and not a post I can claim any pride in.

Nokia's new internet tablet the N900 or something is to use the ARM Cortex-A8 processor. This is the sort of device I was getting at in previous post. However Nokia are also no getting into the netbook market and just released one with Intel Atom processor. Still makes it 1 all for now

No shares won't be invalid, someone whoevere pays your divi's will be in touch with you should it reach the point where you have to decide to take RSL shares in their stead or the cash offer, which now is far lower than the sp. If you don't want RSL shares you may be better to sell them at some point. I'd hang in there for now though!

ARM has the edge over intel in the low power chips. These are chips needed for the products coming out between note(net)books and phones. ARM is already major player in phone market. The trend for internet/mobile devices is ever smaller, though larger (capabilities at least) than phones. The chip that uses less power wins as the battery life is critical. Have read a couple of articles on this recently one in PC Pro, can't remember the other. Battle with Intel is looming, and ARM well placed. Not entirely sure battle with computer giants is always a good thing as they do seem to have a knack of getting their own way in the end, still we'll see.

out today, indicating things have stabilized. This was and maybe still is a value share for well run long established company.

looks value to me, the contract won in America is good news see topgun. Looks one safe bet like BAY and BT were recently, its a blue chip very cheap. Would be nice to get as low as 315 but not sure we will see that!

or should I call you Stinky Alberty, see I am a wit as well., anyway I was thinking of buying some of these but does this mean you will give me a clever name, I kinda feel I might get a little tired of that, stinky boy.

My guess is what you were saying was right, but as it turned out you would have had a better return just buying and selling. At the time you really couldn't lose by buying 2500 at anything below the RSL cash offer. Still it's become academic now with current price, the chance is gone, and unlikely to return, though anythings possible! Still RSL is pulling FP. price up nicely for you poppydog and me for that matter. I may well sell out if this gets much past 90!

nicely upwards and has been steadily for a while now. This has potential for 15p in no time could be time to get in.

hold this, as I sold some of my shares at 794 30mins back as I could see this wasn't going to get to the 800's. Still have few left still, and will hold out foo 30-40p more

a bit from RNS The key terms of the Acquisition include: total consideration of £1,858 million (based on a Resolution Share price of 88.25 pence as at close of trading on 7 August 2009); 0.9 of a New Resolution Share per Friends Provident Share; cash consideration for up to the first 2,500 shares held by each Friends Provident Shareholder at 79.4 pence per Friends Provident Share; total cash consideration of up to £500 million at 79.4 pence per Friends Provident Share (including the cash consideration in respect of up to the first 2,500 shares); total consideration representing 69 per cent. of adjusted EEV as at 30 June 20091; * transfer to a primary listing on the Official List of the UKLA at completion; * inclusion in FTSE index expected to follow completion; * Friends Provident interim dividend of 1.3 pence per share to be paid before completion of the Acquisition; and Resolution to commence paying dividends from completion - currently expected to pay a final dividend of 2.72 pence2 per Resolution Share in respect of the second half of 2009. I have read that government is not entirely happy with Resolution's or perhaps the structure of its deals (to do with it being based in Guernsey), what I read never specifically referred to FP. deal but (perhaps) more to upcoming ones. I think it was actually on this site. It is vague,I need to look into further and I stand to be

I am only going on a scrap of info in a newsletter from ADVFN, but the way it read was cash offer will be an option, so you don't have to do it. and you would only be able to do so for 2500 shares which cannot be all you are holding? Whether you should take any of it is hard to say. I had reasonably high hopes of FP. making me some money and maybe this will come with RSL. Ironically I hold at just over cash offer at 79.65p and on top of that have 2750 shares so cannot go whole hog anyway. I may well sell 50% I just don't have much trust in Resolution, although it is totally without basis just gut feeling

You can either take .9 of a resolution (RSL) share currently trading at 82.25p or cash for first 2500 shares so all of yours at 79.4p. Latter right looks to be best value, but may not be in long run!

Likely to be pretty good which has been known from June so this is not behind the increase in price. Maybe they will be as good or even better than expected, and perhaps a good dividend?

backing east coast rail franchise, as NEX have failed to renegotiate. Also CEO to go and profit warning. Not looking good for today?

anyone understand what all the small trades on here are about??

nerve about holding on to these, I had targetted 700 but now thinking I should aim for more?

Looks like it was a bit of misplaced optimism for today, still confident in the longer run!
