I hate to say this..as the situation is negative enough for shareholders(probably less so for employees' who will carry on in some for or another) but once a share price has dropped to less than 1/50th I would be concerned as a shareholder with getting my money OUT before I am left with nothing.....from past experience.......I would be very surprised to see a rabbit pulled out of the hat and the share be back up at 70 or 100p. sorry if that opinion is generalised...but it is from experience.......based on the SP.....in thus situation shares left in could and may well be worth nothing....which is why the SP has tanked...there probably is only risk there.....unless your a brave day trader.

been a looking....looks like oil price has been on he downward slope since then.
and probably accounts for some of the corrections coming in now....I stopped looking to closely at that since rockhopper and pemier oil and 88 energy a while back ...most suppliers are nervous near $50 and opec wants $80 iirc.... as long as its not water when they are prospecting......I still think gwmo are a better bet for next year.....

i think George bush has had more of an influence than you would imagine.....but since early oct there has been something in the wind.........was just looking at deutsche bank and thinking that.

its a nice thought the debtors will write the debts off as they would a person going bankrupt.........
and the end of this journey (in 1 or 3 years) you may well find the deal is another company runs interserve (OWNED BY THE DEBTORS) and the shareholders are left with shareswaps old for new in this "new" debtor owned company.
or the contracts could be sold off piecemeal as and where.........to get the money back for them.....
if its old money your looking at and 120m profit in the bank than it only needs 4 years free operating to get it back in the black.......I am sure they will receive equity for cancelling the debt.......nearly all of it!

sometimes buys and sell also register incorrectly....best to look at the bid and ask price if your unsure.
this site also gets its data licensed from the London stock exchange......so if it registers on there as a buy and its wrong (say its a sell) then it alos comes up on here incorrectly. you can always check with the London stock exchange site if in doubt. and then be left scratching you head as buy and sells often are registered incorrectly on there!

there may well be large orders placed....say for 100000 quid. the largest qty the market may take is that amount of shares. so many share deals will go through at that qty of shares. sometimes you can buy or sell at a better value if you limit the qty and perhaps they are trickled on buy or on sell.

but that would indicate the same person buying and selling the same qty which would be pointless unless they were trying to reduce the spread or be able to move more shares.....because the absolute limit is 4800 odd shares at the moment or whatever

it is on it way

when it thaws and drilling starts again...and more importantly people start to take an interest again after the Christmas lull after a disappointing block calculation from the results......I am sure there is double your money here to be had.

tbh....it looks a good time to put your money in in anticipation for next year when it starts.......

it would normally mean (in a relatively healthy company) you issue new shares to generate cash "diluting" the present quantity issued and generating cash for the kitty however with debt for equity swap it means a current debt value percentage versus shares in issue multiplied by price as a percentage and other things like bonds issued as a percentage and that will give you an idea of who owns what.
what was a 4bn pound company can be "bought" for the price of the debt more or less.
I have lost tens of thousands with this sort of deal before. it could seem to the shareholder as if the company has gone bust.
any bond holders first in the que.
then shareholders. it could well end up where from 20 grand you might be lucky to get 2 quid.
dont get me wrong there is probably good money to be made jumping in day trading on low prices.

the name interserve MAY be tarnished to the extent that for investing purposes that the debt holders use a new name(s) and parts are sold off and/or the staff are transferred under takeover deals (if its you job that your thinking of).

perhaps I am pessimistic but having lost ALOT on shares where the work keeps on going but the "owners" change hands but that scenario would seem likely as a best guess. imho.

What WOULD concern me is how many on this board say look at how much I have made at this point on each post with the share price going through the floor. I certainly wouldn't take my eye off the ball at the moment.
maybe I am wrong perhaps its all stock market shock but I wouldn't want to think people are going to loose there money or I am adding to it with this post being pessimistic.

It is true there are shocks in the system at the moment (brexit, us president death, us/china, Christmas lull, oil etc)but the work is there.....the staff will do the work.....whether they will be called interserve (because people may not want to invest again after loosing thousands) and are owned by the present shareholders to any great extent or they will see ANY future dividends is another matter.
Personally I would look to get my money out.... before or after Christmas to get the best out of it I am not so sure about......

I would look at the sector.
Its outta favour. KIER, SERCO INTERSERVE.........all down ....in a big way.
NONE can pull themselves out of this....its investor black hole at the moment. IT really is the sector if you look.
Be wary. If they cant get credit they could go the way of Carilion........looks like Interserve back is REALLY to the wall; I think people are brave to have their money tied up in it at the moment and probably why some are avoiding the SECTOR

They keep adding.....jump in in the next few mins.......I dont think it is going to get any cheaper and wil keep climbing until the summer at least........GL all .........ALL ABOARD THE SKYLARK!!!!

just wondering anyone else reading this could you please read a few messages back and reply and reply if you have a definite answer?

TBH looking at the amount of spread it looks as if no-ones taking an interest at the moment........in hard "cash on or off" terms at least......maybe a late December buy in might be the best lull to jump on for new investors

I think your right, over the next month and into the new year your looking at a big upswing.
big differences on tax really is that personal tax and company tax are usually worked out the same theoretical scale in some countries.
companies with a healthy profit cant get away with flat rate.
i.e. over so much profit firms have to pay up to 40%tax. as you would if you earned 60kplus on PAYE.
we ALL have to pay tax in the end.....but that's the big one if you look at the USA (never looked into Canada but would guess it the same or similar). One reason I think business will always thrive here. Its enough that it shifts "burden" off of fuel for their transport(as they are big countries to get about in ).

My opinion is the deadline itself will allow people to realise where the stand (in confidence for their future at home and at work) and perhaps be the clarity for any decision making in more ways than one...(both investors AND customers)

Gizzard thanks for the reply, when I looked on the THIS website the BPC was not listed on the risers list at all! is that just me who couldn't see it? in fact if you read my last few posts the lists of risers has been inconstant!!? this is a great website but I cannot figure the lists not tallying with London Stock Exch website!!? if you could reply yes/no to being able to see it on here I would be grateful to clarify my position.

plant health has "come back" but hansard I tried it with has disappeared.
on risers is taken up by "plant health".....not sure why. not sure is others down the order are wrong. same with the fallers. why they disappear or they "come back" on the list. bad as googles share prices if your not careful today!
dont know why but has done this over the last 3 weeks on the odd day.!

plant care has just disappeared or whatever its called so I will try looking at this and refresh

just checked again. not only has Bahamas oil disappeared so has clontarf from todays risers.
some fallers went missing last week. there on the London stock exchange but the not here.
anyone?
seems there are more discrepancies between the price of brent and the price at the pumps!!

hi....according to London stock exchange Bahamas petrol is the largest riser.....is there a glitch in the data today? again?
