Thanks sain. Let's hope Orion don't find they are in trouble, at least not until after the end of April!

Very encouraging for the future. If this just toddles along in this market, will definitely pick up more -but no hurry in my view.

....for the buyer of our shopping villages! Just buy loads of HMSO at prices as low as we have been and declare your holdings as necessary until , say, 21st April. No need then to reduce your purchase price because after the deal is done, you start feeding the happy old market. I reckon that you could turn a profit between 50 and 100 million, less tax of course. Not sure if a BVI subsid would help now! Of course you would have to check whether this would breach some City Code or other, but would keep everyone happy!Could even pay you yo hold a few HMSO long term.

This is a pig! Haven't done much right but cut a loss on these years ago!

.....what I originally paid. Need more good news about York!

Must be pretty close to IPO, now it is selling in many jurisdictions -Israel and Germany to name but two. My fag pack guess for estimated asset val of FFWD is now around 20p, and if all IPOs came off, perhaps 60p. Market is beginning to twig!

Hi Sain, I agree but who knows? Currently closing a few 'savings' accounts with banks ready to throw more at this market in the hope that 1) I am still alive and 2) it goes back up. That goes for a lot of others in the portfolio too. Ofr course I was buying in the expectation of that fat divi which will now not occur. Should have not been so naive!

Done as much digging as I can online and found no progress since 2018. Intrigued because the concept seems brilliant.
For a PUBLIC company they are keeping incredibly quiet and content to take no significant pay and load up with debt!
Presume someone knows something but since I am losing lots in perfectly good active quoted cos, see no point in pump priming this right now. Anyone know anything?

....which was to set up a subsidiary Serica Renewable Energy and gobble up a small co already in that business or minority interests in a variety. That way they 'back the horse both ways'.

I am heavily in by my standards. Cannot see this going skint. Hope I'm right!

Trouble is I -like most - am heavily down on just about everything. And this is still a gamble.

Seems with us now but needs factual RNS to keep going. Happy to be LTH right now.

Happy to hold and hope!

Want to get at this cash to average down some others but with RICA's Put on the Index pushing its SP up against this awful market (and a pretty wide spread) must stay put for now and accept the sweeties here!

Berenbergs today say BUY with target of 400p

field day. In fact it is wise for HMSO to keep powder dry and hold onto my dividend (for now!) This is typically overdone. I expect a few positions to close out now.

,,,,, hardly anywhere else!) Big buyer got the bit between his/her teeth!

....both must be very close to the floor. 'The only way is UP'

I don't think TG will want to retire with this failure as his last venture (although he might have no choice)
My gut feeling is that - if the flow rates are worth pursuing - he may try recapitalising in due course and having another go.
Alternatively, Sekaname may buy us out.
Anyway it has reached the point where no more of my cash is going in.
Good luck all and keep safe.

Hi Opulentia,
Thanks for your kind wishes.
The bottom drawer is pretty full right now!
Busy draining savings accounts so that its in cash ready to invest 'at the bottom', assuming I can survive the lurgy.
Never seen the seaside so quiet in sunny weather. Perhaps it's the police helicopter overhead spotting groups to fine for picnicking on the sand!
You take care yourself,
Olda
