If the owned property is undervalued on the books why not sell it and lease it back? Marston's owns a significantly higher proportion of its pubs compared to competitors so I don't see a problem, use the sale proceeds to pay down debt. Got a funny feeling this is way too simplistic or surely they would have joined the companies doing this already.

Going up quite nicely.....again.

Am getting fed up with US opening down and dropping then going back up once our markets are closed.

15 million would be about 3% of market cap, SP down 12% are moment. Over reaction to news seems to be the norm with the market these days.

Bit of a catch 22 for some who prefer income over capital growth. Suppose the SP doubles in next year, that leaves the divi at less than 5%, so new buyers may well be more focused on growth rather than divi whereas the divi hunters are less likely to see this as an attractive holding. Interesting times ahead, a strong buy for medium to long term surely.

Check on the Dividendmax website, an accurate source for this sort of info.

Suggest you go to DEC official website or search elsewhere for details of withholding tax, it's vital you know about this before making your purchase decision.

If your investing for capital growth over the medium term invest, if your a dividend hunter forget it because of the withholding tax.

If commodity prices rise and Glenda doesn't I see a problem, at the moment commodity price drops are being mirrored by Glenda and other commodity brokers so no issue for me.

Looks like ESG sentiment trumps sound financials, at least this side of the pond , note the SP closed up in the US where financials trump ESG ; hence the US listing.

If I were shorting this stock would I be happy or worried reading the update?

I think worried.

More correctly we do have mines we don't have collieries.

Keep them coming GG, best laugh I have all day.

Why invest in UK shares when you don't know from one year to the next how much you will be allowed to keep ? Reducing the profit you can make before the tax axe falls is not conducive to investment either for small investors or large companies ( the oil and gas windfall tax is a good example) let's see if the upcoming budget speech can reverse some of the damage.

Weirdly today I found myself looking up the gas price.....more than once!!!

The share buy back is important to as it should support the SP between now and full year results.

Coldspy try doing a search for charts showing earth temp during an interglacial period, it should show multiple charts all showing the pattern of temp from the first ice age to now. It's fairly obvious from them that we have been through the same cycle at least 4 times, as humans weren't utilising oil and gas for the first 3 cycles so can't have been responsible for the temp rise. Instead of beating ourselves up for causing it can we please get on with planning how we deal with it because it's inevitable no matter what we do.

Gas may be having an up day, would be nice if we joined in.

I'll be amazed if this goes up first thing

Shaml89 the use of the word target is incorrect, that value was simply the flow measured when the blockage was removed, the guidance (target if you like) was 30 - 40 which has been achieved.
