...into Admin again and down we go. Orion will have to do a renegotiation with HMSO or their whole massive Fund is finito! AND they know it. At some point HMSO will be colossal buy, IMHO, but don't ask me what point. Possibly April 21st or so.

Glad I wasn't tempted. They won't be permitted to do this every 6mths or so, which they are likely to need.
Managing to lose loads on honest shares though!!

Have we been insuring zoos against coronavirus? C'mon! These should be at least £1 per share higher. They will lose all cred if they now turn round next week and cancel the div! So funds will be hoovering LGEN. All IMO. DYOR.

holding now. Will be reflected in substantial upward revaluations in future. My opinion only. DYOR!

wadnob - I take it you are being funny! If they cannot get funding for Factom after hunting around for a long time, as the largest holder of their stock, we are going to lose heavily. And since we are an IT, we cannot take it over and run it even if we wanted to. It just goes to show that bad news happens fast, great news filters out slowly. Even you can't put a shine on this!

...the Gov't will be left with a stark choice: Helicopter money and devaluation, or total bankruptcy everywhere. They will have to choose. If all govts in the world choose the former then we are (theoretically) pretty much back where we started, but trends will have changed, possibly forever. Let's hope sanity (or something passing for it) prevails.

It seems Orion don't do silly things like pay using their own cash! They imply that their (usual?) lender(s) don't want to fund this buy right now Odd, that. If it's true and the two cos can't carve something else up, it would seem HMSO's Silk would be in with a decent claim. HMSO are still saying they are talking and will all go through on April 23. Now there's a surprise!
I hope that you are right, sain, and a lifesaver is reached. Interested to note that, according to LSE, twice as many shares apparently bought on Friday than sold! It's going to be a hairy couple of weeks. I hope they put out a nice, reassuring RNS on Monday. Perhaps to the effect that they have removed the hoard of gold bullion they had stored in all the shopping centres' foundations!!

Expecting plenty of gossip in weekend papers!

'everyone sharing the pain'
I'm doing my bit now!!

I hope they shoot higher, but I am not betting more on it! Yet!!

Still need a 4-bagger from here to cut even!

If you can still read this, get well soon.

....S P I K E!!!

LTHs - you know what you should do now.

I have retired now. Otherwise I might have been able to help! Not really. My speciality was Town & Country Planning (for local auths) One of my closed accounts has just hit my everyday bank account but I am in no hurry to go into the market again. I can remember the last property crash and my experience then was not a happy one. And this is shaping up to be different to anything I have witnessed and much worse. Those relying on co divs are going to be hard up. I just hope pension funds get it right. If you can't keep smiling, at least keep safe!

....vertical right now!

HMSO will have best legal advice to be sure and if the contract was unconditional it may be that they can take the £25M and still sue if they can prove further loss.

Negotiating ploy? Very probably. At least we can hope so.

Hang on and hope.

Hoping the Scots are going to get this over the line and that I live to see it.

Now which outfit is sitting on a load of cash?
