Agree with Bigbadbaz and have disobeyed my own rule and averaged down to lock in the yield after ditching some infras which are falling for the same (political) reasoning. I just hope like everyone else that this is about the lowest they go!.

20 Dec 2016 there was news of what to expect by way of p or l. Last year at that time nothing although more contracts won. I WONDER WHETHER THE rns IS WAITING FOR THE CO TO BE IN A POSITION TO TELL US SOMETHING NICE, LIKE BREAKEVEN OR BETTER. Anyway, my hat will be duly munched if something of this does not appear soon. Just considering a further purchase.

Hi methusaelah, Ihave held these almost from day of issue and yesterday I sold half also 60% of inpp but none of 3IN. Overall I had 16% of my entire portfolio in these and decided , reluctantly, that safety of capital now outweighed the excellent yield. The plan I selected was to review the performance again today possibly selling the rest of both if there was further weakness. How to replace the divis? Don't know, but my attitude is no rush in a falling market. Further, managers of Seneca Global recently announced they have decided to reposition for a global recession in 2019. My portfolio is primarily for my learning disabled son and though they may be wrong, I take this very seriously. Best wishes with your investing. Play safe and have a small 'flutter' fund. That is holding me in good stead now.

I didn't sell. Sadly I had to bale out of another (which at its best would have made me 40%) for a 25% loss but that helped to keep my mind away from these and now they look as though, barring bad news or a market crash, they should stabilise around 210-220 in the next two weeks. But my big loser, also an AIM stock, is a warning to you all - forget the indicative price in a bad market. On AIM if YOU want to bale out right at that time and your holding is meaningful, you may be forced to take a much lower than quoted sale price. Now (next day) indicative price is what I got!

Never seen so many positives. Pushed mine further under the mattress

Utilities, Infrastructure, reits, builders! It is madness, just like Jeremy. You know what clever punters do when this happens? They buy into weakness. I originally said 850, then froze. I am now saying 820. Anywhere near and I will put on a limit buy to average down.

Trouble is that these small AIM cos don't always oblige their shareholders. Take a look at ECK. I have held there for years, SP is miserable and no RNS. Take up nail-biting, my love, or does that talk get me branded a Weinstein now? Anyway, they are up a bit today.

Who places a big order for equipment unless they are damn certain they are going to need it? If a few more daft sales take the SP down again, it will be time to think about a top-up!

In the absence of more contracts (or a bid) - both possibilities - the year end is Feb 3 and the RNS for Trading usually occurs Mar 3. So a lot of reasons to hang on and keep watching!

Out of these today.at an awful price. Good riddance!

I am a long-termer here and am amazed at the apparent lack of interest. ADVFN postings point out that if the BoD have no notices to send out, there is nothing for boards to get excited about or punters, which seems to be the case here! Not far from its year's low for no apparent or obvious reason. No figures due for months. HELP!!!

I suspect the second part of the collapse today may reflect subbies who may be jeopardised by other work through Carillion. No bounce tomorrow and I am out.

today incl a �12k deal which is big in my book. Still got good vibes!

Verge of cutting loss.

Immediate reaction is not at all bad. Do not want to be hassled into selling these but big adverse reaction may force a change of mind. With their financial clout they could buy up some cheap assets from Liquidator and come out quite well.

Should have listened to my inner voice when I posted last. Now I am down quite a bit and at the mercy of Luceco. Only consolation is that the management here are miles more at risk than li'l ol' me (but are much richer!) They have started buying back shares on the cheap which can ironically send the SP down (see NG) I will reluctantly wait and see. The TV programme today about Boots might worry this lot with their Pharmacy2you subsid. Still hoping there will be a hint later this year about a sale/flotation for that.

My gambling fund 2017 is looking robust (largely thanks to TLOU) but this and SPA very nice for 2018 too. Am planning to put aside another �10000 in tax year 18-19 for another three gambles, The rest is all fairly boring invs. Cant think of any good reason why this should not go acc to plan (apart from the Brazilian crime scene) so just wait for MAPA and sit tight.

I got in here when I did. According to my fag packet, they need one more new contract RNS to be able to predict a small (VERY small) profit 18-19. If the big fellas don't pop in cheeky bids - a real possibility - the co should then announce Placing and Open Offer to clear the overdraft and provide working capital. May also have a bit of new software up their sleeve! I suspect they already are making plans predicting an SP around 6p and new shares at around 5p. Must get a wad ready. Gambling on this tax year for the RNS with the closing date just into next! There - I've stuck my neck out!!!!

If you refer back, when the Bot Government Pension Fund gobbled up 90% of their listing, I posted that I reckoned the govt would not award the contract until after the new drilling report RNS - out of of decency! Now that has occurred my feeling is the award will be announced this week or next and the share price should jump over the 20p mark but settle somewhere around there. I don't monkey around with holdings but would be tempted to get my stake money back and have the rest run for nothing, but that may be a while away. Hope the site wipe off The Kenner. Trouble is he'll only turn up under a new name. Wonder what these folk get out of it?

Look through the recent big RNS announcements and you will see a distinct theme: bigging up. I may look like I'm ramping these but I hold what is for me a sizeable amount and whilst I am aware of the attitude of Labour to Infrastructure my view is that the risk is worthwhile taking for the decent and increasing dividend and likely further capital gain.
