in a couple of days - hardly what the rto dreamers were expecting

Morning All,

My scan of this morning's RNSs indicated to me that DUKE deserved a bit of a look / potential watchlist entry. Any comments would be appreciated / listened to.

A dividend paying AIM share so a bit of a rarity...

Kenny,

The Sante Fe Institute has begun publishing papers every Monday - may be of interest, especially if you know of SFI and their research.

'There would have been good reason why SS was granted the bonus- how about finding out WHY first.'

Most would like to know the answer to that question but it was not in the accounts. It is worth noting that the share price dropped from 2p to 1p during the reporting period so the bonus was not granted for creating shareholder value, was it?

Things are progressing as expected - very badly.

Works programmes destroy private capital but stop citizens from killing each other...

kevg1805,

Good point; it should be taken up with the NOMAD (I understand some of the BOD read this BB but seem to ignore what they read).

'With the SP unchanged is this carnage of which you speak some new use of the word that we ordinary folk are unaware of?'

Down13%?

The Ebola play is being tried again... A great way to soften opposition to GM foods if it works.

Metro only offering 80% LTV now - few valuers are working because of COVID. Is the loan book impaired? If so, by how much?

A million small businesses facing ruin and over a million signing on for Universal Credit. The future for UK banks is a bit bleak - can anybody make a reasonable case for investing in Metro?

Valirx shareholders need a miracle.

'Because some of us believe they WILL NOW change the record'

A funeral march; the Last Post or I will Survive?

Is this even legal?

"Any payment of outstanding or current director fees or remuneration will not occur until after the Requisitioned General Meeting."

So VAL owe the directors money - ie they are creditors. If/when it goes **** up then can they get the IP in settlement of their debts?

The latest Private Eye just got delivered (thanks Mr Postman - another of our under valued essential workers). The M.D. pages are always full of some wise comments.... This made me smile:

'It could equally be that the virus has the last laugh. Remember, it exists only to replicate, and it is even better at the job than Johnson. In the meantime, wash your hands, keep your distance and try to have five portions of fun a day.'

‘When the body bags run out, we will close,’ warns UK funeral director'

The Politico article below does not give much confidence...

'ignore comments on troll sites like this'

Remarkable - someone posts on the bulletin board and then says ignore what they post.

#confusing

Greenfinches? Lots of Green Parakeets where I live (but they have stolen the Woodpeckers nesting sites.

Today's low so far - 85.60p.

Makes me wonder if I will be updating the board about 80p party invitations. Well done to those stubbornly holding whilst the market melts down. Jim Rogers has some words of advice:
