The 3 month curve looks a lot better thsn the 1 year curve. Read into that what you will. Also im personally fairly synical about chartism TBH, but I respect others interest in it. I have a light enough holding that if it drops below 200p im ready to take advantage and do more averaging down, if it doesnt and retraces then ill leave what i have and be sat in profit . Either way suits me.

I don't know why these CEOs do this, it's surely much better to under promise and over deliver, then over promise and under deliver on dates. But WTFDIK

I think all of us are in agreement here, SO didn't commit, but was probably flirty with March as a date - its unlikely IMO and I said so as soon as he said it. I would also agree with your frustration Volley, but it is what it is. April is much more likely, especially as its come to light about Panoro's influence. Its only another few weeks on top of the year + we have been waiting lol / cry (delete as appropriate).

That's right as the SP had a mini bounce from the news if I recollect... ok, as you all were then ;)

I thought it sounded like old news!! Thanks Ascoyne

just seen this on BBC Business Live - any comments from folks? Unfortunately the brief news snippet doesn't say what the CAP will be. Telecoms regulator Ofcom is cutting the price BT can charge rivals to use its fast broadband service. It will also make it easier for providers to use BT's infrastructure to build their own networks to boost the roll-out of fibre. Ofcom said: "BT must make its telegraph poles and underground tunnels open to rival providers, making it quicker and easier for them to build their own full-fibre networks directly to households around the UK." The regulator said it would cap the amount BT's Openreach network can charge rivals to use its entry-level superfast broadband service.

Sorry DB that was more rhetorical musings than anything. I was thinking out loud about the investment company that bought into RR Aero, and as soon as they went over 10% holdings demanded a seat on the board - but that was different, RR were in trouble and the investors wanted a say in correcting the company. Like you say, it may be that Miton are happy being a benign investor and letting Lincoln et al do the driving.

Problem is volley he never committed to March, he only said he was hopeful of March.... a lot of AIM CEO's do this, it's ruddy annoying.

At 16% holding are they just passive investors, or do they potentially actively influence the direction of the development I wonder?

I guess there must have been a handful of 10k quid buys go in, cant recall. Either way, gives me a warm feeling coming into Q1.

great news, and Miton are one of the reasons im prepared to hold on here regardless of rumours.......one thing I will say is, when did their trades go through? I don't recall any major major buying coming in?

PS I'm still hopeful (maybe blindly) that Q1s will be on target and we may see a slight increase in dividend, the plan was for them to be progressive where possible (as long as they can also accomodate and execute any growth plans)

Thanks panei, i am meaning to look at that webcast but haven't got around to it yet.

*EDIT sell "off"

Hi LeValueinvestor, welcome to the board! I think DKL is a fairly safe bet personally, it turned a corner last year, generated profit, and to the point where dividends have been issued. Debt is manageable and easily serviceable, and there is definite plans for growth, along with other potential plans for growth that are crystallising. I think most of the jitters around this sell of just before a quarterly result stem from last years Boiler failure and there were seemingly large sells just prior to the RNS, which bugged some of us. Fingers crossed there is no repeat and we get a glowing Q1, in which case this is dirt cheap at present!

just seen Brent kissed 71 bucks, and is hovering around 70.5.......more coin in the coffers (in theory)

oh well that explains it then lol :-| ?? "The London market has ended the day on a low, and it's not entirely clear why. The FTSE 100 closed down 0.5% at 6,889 points. While some blamed a sharply (sic) rise in the euro against the dollar, which weighs on European exporters, for a slide in continental markets, Reuters adds that "many are in the dark as to the sudden shift".

Sorry ray, you may have a point over a longer time scale, but it's followed the FTSE closely for the past week or two IMO, just look at the 5 day chart between the two.

Is tanking and taking us with it, just when I thought we might see two blue days in a row!.... is this FTSE movement related to all the Russian diplomats being sent back to Russia?

well if SO is going to achieve the CPR in March its got to come this week sometime......Ive been in AIM long enough, when the CEO says he "hopes" it will be on a date, it very rarely is. I'm personally expecting April, but I hope im wrong.
