If nothing else it shows to the wider world a Senior insider has the confidence to invest. Market conditions and MM's will always have a role to play which are outside one's control. My own strategy is medium to long term so not too fussed but I do know others on this board are short to medium term.

Agreed Garonne. Bad general market day today isn't helping either. I do take further confidence when a senior director makes a 2 x 50,000 purchase though.

It's blue! It's red! It's blue again!

Who cares? It's an income stock.

I care SlickMongoose... I'm looking for capital growth as well as income from dividends but each to their own.

Think I read somewhere deep in the report the board were to concentrate future efforts on earnings per share as opposed to dividends itself but had guaranteed divi growth until 2024. Stand to be corrected.

Just gone up. Now in the blue! It'll be interesting to see what the day brings.

What do I know... it's opened down! Sigh.

Yet again another solid set of results. First & foremost the market looks to see if a company has hit it's own numbers and keeps a watchful eye on the outlook. LGEN looks to be delivering on all fronts looking at the main financial results here. The future looks as certain as it can and I fir one more than pleased. The market should and I believe will view the report optimistically and therefore, I think it will open blue.

Nicely summed up LiquidSky. Certain parts of the business probably do need to be fixed but not all of it by any means. The fundamentals haven't changed one iota here and there are silver linings in the update. Prior to posting the RNS the board of RR will have known the update will have gone down like a lead balloon... and so it has. They now need to work hard at delivering the pipeline so no further shocks come November.

Not too far away thriller40. Did you reinvest the dividends or did you take them as income? In other words, are you still underwater after taking into consideration the divis?

Rinse & Repeat.

It's been there before and not too long ago so I see no reason to prevent it from doing so subject to market conditions. I guess it's a case of maintaining patience. LGEN's business model is one that offers a hedge (to a certain degree) in an inflationary market hence my comment on it being a Mr Dependable.

I wrote recently about LGEN's ability to bounce back from significant dips... and here we are. At close to £2.70 a pop I reckon many of us who where underwater are now showing profit. I truly believe LGEN is the Mr dependable in a market full of nerves & uncertainty. Top company run by top people.

Keeping the faith.

... says Rolls Royce are not, as yet, ready for take off and to avoid the stock.

I'm guessing many board members, myself very much included, are underwater. Some more than others. I'm 10% down as it stands perhaps more after today? Who knows? Certainly not Mike. Sigh. Where fo we go from here?...
Personally, I think it's all about one's time horizons.. Ok, RR hasn't delivered anywhere near our optimistic views pre Thursday but that doesn't necessarily mean the fundamentals aren't still in place. RR is a Phoenix and for me, the building blocks are still very much there for it to rise up from the ashes once again. It'll be a waiting game. It'll take time. It'll take a great deal of patience and despite Warren East delivering the least, ultimately as this Phoenix of an engineering company rises once again so will our investments. Keeping the faith despite what the Times says.

The update says it's still on track to achieve full year numbers so I doubt there will be much more than a 10% drop today although I'm the world's worst at predicting rises & drops so I tend to stay clear. Even a 10% drop seems overdone to me but I will add that the RR board must be expecting a super trooper H2.

That would be akin to "getting away with one" chipmod. Not so sure about that. The markets don't like what they're reading and neither do we. RR will be the ultimate in long haul flights I'm afraid. Hope you're right though.

Hi Red_inky, I don't think anyone knows for sure if any element of the pending ITP sale has filtered into the SP. Some perhaps due to market sentiment but I don't believe the majority has. The reason I say this is primarily due to the markets wanting nailed on cash in the bank. Takeovers etc have an awful habit of falling through. The markets absolutely understand this. I therefore, believe some uptick will take place today with further uptick once the sale has gone through and the cash hits the balance sheet. Just my view.

See today's RNS... Just what we wanted to hear!

I'm hearing China have invaded Taiwan territory by way of military exercises in response to Pelosi's visit. More on this to follow I suspect.

Hi Mike, if Kinetic close their short then I absolutely would agree with you. The share price should bounce off this alone. You may well be the king of RR rampers but you've had an uncanny knack of predicting the SP movement. Invezz believe we need to break through 94.10p to move onward & upward. That's a good 7p from where we are now and no easy stretch on the face of it but guessing you're optimistic it'll get broken sooner rather than later? Maybe even tomorrow?
