Great to see the rises holding up, I too am holding. Been steady rises since May.

Many many thanks for your post, I admit that i don't know the difference between the Resolutions, but then I originally bought FP shares. I ran today, licking my painful wounds. Lesson learned to jump earlier & not hang on hoping. GL to all those that have stayed
Looks like you're helping the cause, up again this morning
I can see by your post that it took me 45 mins to put my questions down. I think we are sort of asking the same questions
Any input will be appreciated. Many thanxs
I have read, re-read & read again the posts on the last 6 pages and i must say my brain is getting fuzzled. I spoke to the helpline call centre today & am still none the clearer, and not quite sure how to put in words my questions. Both myself & hubby bought £5k each when FP floated, big mistake, but have been holding hoping they would come good so we could recoup our funds. If we sell we have no chance so... If I were to take option 3 will the price be based on tomorrows price (possible 2.32ish less 1.50 equating to 82p) or the market price (unknown & will probably be a lot less reading the posts) at 3rd? Aug Am i right in thinking that..... (my shares) Consolidated only 73 I have 1251 rights - £1876.50 to buy new shares Option 3 @ .82p would only give me £1025.82 therfore not giving me my full allocation. Would i be able to send a cheque to top up the balance? Option 2 - pay £1876.50 for full allocation, in which case what has happened to the rights i could have sold? Apologies if it seems a stupid question but i can't get my head around it. Also... If RSL is such a bad thing then why has there been al lot of Big buying after close today? Not PI's I imagine.
Good gains since last Wednesday, will it continue till Wed this?
Agree, & patience is a virtue
Yes & it stayed up. Hopefully your comments will do its magic again & knotch it up again tomorrow.
Nice little rise today, although only 1 trade here today - a sell, strange unless something is on the horizon
Good on you H, keep your comments coming & we might see this revived!!
It's good to see this moving again, and in the right direction, does anyone know the reason for it?
