Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
It is in general, tongue in cheek comments as I've no personal grudge etc. It is good that lots of posters on here who are far more advanced than me continuously post all the good stuff. Why doesn't the Dame shout about it? let the world know how good ITV is? buy some shares? give us a reward for holding?
I'm not expecting anything different come next week.
P
I may be the only one who isn't looking forward to next weeks results. If history is anything to go by when the Dame opens her gob the SP tanks.
I'm getting poorer by the day thanks to her lack lustre, underwhelming, blindingly obvious out of her depth performance.
P
I'm beginning to warm to Tom. No disrespect towards anyone at all but agree that small investors aren't even an afterthought to a power crazy over rewarded Dame we've been stuck with for far too long.
P
Three scenarios for an increase in the SP
1. Takeover offer (several) preferably
2. The Dame gets the boot
3. The Dame inserts a large firework accordingly and enthusiastically informs us of a very upbeat report and a dividend. Then gets the boot.
Anything else is just news and hasn't done a thing for the SP
p
I'd have expected it to have been 25% up if Lockdown played a part. Wasn't much else to do to be fair other than watch TV.
No doubt Mcalls drab approach to running this joint is affecting the SP. Expecting no change any time soon either.
Only lifeline is a bid for me, otherwise I'm stuck for now. What a winnet she's turned out to be.
P
Nige. When you look at the figures as you've just illustrated, why on earth is the SP where it is? Even if you rule out the takeover element investors should be looking at the potential growth. JP Morgan raising their forecast is great but nothing changes.
I've never believed in SP manipulation but I'm beginning to think twice.
Thanks all the same
P
Thanks Nige and apologies for sounding off. Hopefully this will start showing signs of a decent recovery if and when the dame decides to show some metal instead of the over the top conservative stance.
If there's a shred of good news in the next update she should shout it out.
P
If ITV is a cash generating machine they ought to start thinking about sharing some of it out. Initially that was my main reason for buying in the first place. Was getting in the region of £2000 a year in dividend payments. I've written off getting anything close to that so it's a case of waiting for an exit price now.
P
Dame Carolyn FcCall isn't in the slightest interested in what the SP is or does, she gets all the dosh in any case and is accountable to zilch.
Now performance related pay adjusted to SP might change things but never gonna happen, not in the world of ITV.
Sick of it and I'll be out with a fair chunk soon hopefully
P
Same here mate. Got shut of about a third a few weeks back and first opportunity I get I'm out also.
Board have said/done nothing to inspire me with any confidence - Then again if your in a position of unaccountability as they are....why would you. Useless comes to mind.
P
If you get the chance to read "a state of fear" by Laura Dodsworth you'll ask yourself how millions of people actually fell for all this impending catastrophe....hopefully someday they'll be taken to account for it.
P
I was going to say this could possibly be the worst performing share I've ever been involved with, then I realised I also own shares in ITV......what a total shambles.
P
You looking at the SP McCall..? Correct.....nobody is convinced by the drivel of wait and see what happens blah blah. What you going to do about it eh....if your so convinced by your own drivel buy some.
No plan, no idea of a plan. In my sector if you ain't good enough you walk, no questions.
I invested for the dividend and potential growth and got neither so what's the point of being invested here.....none.
P
You sure your not confusing "anti-vaxxers" with people who just happen to have a different opinion to yours?
That's the problem you see. Its like the left wingers who continually criticise the "hard right wing nationalists" just for having an opposing opinion. Incidentally, there's nothing more dangerous to society than left wing extremism.
