FACESTER, "A loss is only a loss if you crystalize it". What nonsense. I am down 80% on CPI, that is a real loss. It would now have to go up 400% for me not to lose money.

But Smithy you said 400 by end of September and they are 523. So why would anyone take any notice of you when you get it so wrong?

Yep I have to admit I own Premier, not my finest moment, I'm down about 90%. But you can't win them all, I've made big gains on WMH and OCDO which offset my PMO losses so overall I can't complain. I don't have more than 5% in any one company so if one crashes like PMO it's not the end of the world.

Totally agree CHILTING, it is impossible to time the market, best to remain invested all the time.

I have raised questions about this even since it was over a pound, there's never been a good sign. As I have said before, this has been a gambler's share and you all appear addicted.

I am amazed that there is still so much interest in PMO. Nobody seems to know what's going to happen and the vast majority seem to have lost money. Surely there are better investments to spend your time on.

But Smithy you said sub 400 September and sub 300 October. Do you enjoy making yourself look foolish ?

This forum appears to be full of gamblers, not investors. I'm 90% down here but it's less than 1% of my portfolio so it's not the end of the world.

MIDASTOUCH, why did you not mention this at £28.

This issue has been known about for a long time, every now and again it crops up, the share price drops a bit and then comes back even stronger.

This is up 160% over the year so a drop of 4% is of little concern in that context.

I once had a meeting with Ken in his office in the winter. It was freezing. I mentioned this and he threw a body warmer at me and said "Put that on lad if you're cold". A true Yorkshireman !

Severn Trent was down as well so I don't think that was the reason.

WHATAMESS, I was referring to your guaranteed 15% loss. You really are a fool.

BBC have a Have Your Say on this, it's quite amusing reading some of them, they make Neil seem quite wise.

But PNN is down ?

I'd hardly call it a surge. Still a dog of a company.

WHATAMESS, "GUARANTEED a drop of 15%, then more in the day". Now you GUARANTEE steep falls in the coming weeks. Do you understand the meaning of the word guarantee.
Do you enjoy being humiliated ?

Having worked for Morrisons I am surprised, it wasn't an issue when I was there. The planning systems should enable that stocks are normally sufficient.

CHANCERS, it is normal practice to amend any offer for dividends paid.
