Be careful what you wish for, shareholders don’t chose CEO’s they may just promote Tony Gardiner as a reward for getting rid of so many ungrateful small-time investors, then we’ll have problems.

Serica’s Chairman is quite right of course but he’ll have his comments slapped back at him by announcing the maintaining of dividend and commencement of buybacks. It’s a no win situation other than for the UK Treasury .

Wouldn’t worry about the emerging Data, the Market just shrugs that off . It’s the final verdict on conclusion that’s awaited and needed, meanwhile investors carry risk without reward not helped by a clear lack of business acumen being shown that’s clearly unnerved many, witness this BB. Just need to prepare for the rocky ride until definitive results are known, and that’s not a foregone conclusion otherwise we wouldn’t be where we are !

Tony Gardiner ( CFO) should be the fall guy here, he’s not the heavyweight we needed with our obvious funding requirements which has allowed others to roll us over. AS is a scientist, been here from the beginning, the Chair and other Board members are just as complicit but it’s the poor Fund handling, not the science that’s got us here.

Irrespective our voices don’t count, we merely come along buy some shares and then expect to be heard, as common shareholders you need to know your place and it ain’t at the table !

Warming to Ms Truss as recently she’s been talking a lot of sense, unusual I know but there seems to be a growing number of voices joining this chorus. Interestingly the Chinese EV Mfrs have already realised the West are turning luke warm for their products, with customers more questioning the financial implications . Hence their doing what comes natural to them and selling on price not quality. The flood of far cheaper Chinese EV’s is on the way, helped by huge State subsidies , witness in the US where they’re broken below the $10,000 price barrier, even with a 27.5% import tariff . Add to that the growing uncompetitive nature of UK business

being saddled with Net Zero targets , so its little wonder the Chinese are ones happy to promote the Green agenda but only for others to follow. Wise people selling to the gullible.

Good for you, although you may not get the pullback wanted but should that happen I’ll also be adding. Hold 6 figures.

“ Full year performance ahead of market expectations”, thats all you need to know !

Guess we may get a Full Year trading update soon, last year it was posted on 18/04.

Well it’s an interesting position they’ve taken, they may just be hoping it will unnerve enough folks to move the price down a few pence. Most won’t base their decisions on what a Company is trying to achieve, if that was the case few would touch BAE Systems !

The Yanks are like lemmings, they’ve seen their beloved Nvidia go negative so that’s triggered a fall in Tech stocks and others just follow, with some commentators calling a correction on the way…not a concern for those with a stronger stomach !

The Markets decided to dismiss the Israel/Iran conflict as getting any worse, but a stray missile will soon correct that.

Well they had the authority to buy back when the SP was 25% lower, so clearly not rushed.

Questioning - Guessing ( auto correct )

Financial Analyst, not a bad job. Well paid for spending your days questioning without repercussion all while WFH . Follow their advice and you’re doomed.

Is it Jefferies ? , thought more likely existing Advisers J P Morgan , or at least it should be .

This was always going to take time but there now looks to be limited downside so will be back in the Market buying again, once the SP settles in a few days.

Guess most are awaiting YE results to see if their ‘back to growth’ strategy is actually delivering although having already announced an expected slide in revenue down from 12% to 17%, if they miss that it will be relabelled “back to decline” . Just have to look East to see the culprits.

This could just be a master stroke by Julian, most Retail investors will have departed long ago leaving gamblers to enter who as seen, have been shafted. Still he’s the one doing all the work so can’t blame him for being ruthless.

Brave of Julien to fully underwrite this, but he must anticipate very few SH’s will be willing to participate. Q.is why is he even bothering, hope he doesn’t regret it.

Can’t see many Landlords accepting Julian’s plea for Lease amendments to save him, so except the end is nigh. Shame but the Brand lost its way long ago.
