Hounddog "i am not ashamed to get things wrong and thought it might benefit this board"
As it did, Hound. Thank you for helping to clarify. There is much confusion amongst we shareholders currently.
But "onwards and upwards"
Mike, It started with the big institutions being allowed to buy vast amounts of stock on day one. The general public had the remnants. This was supposedly because the institutions would hold the stock.
We then saw them sell off at the first opportunity and later short the stock.
IDS should not be constrained and manipulated. Set it free of government and union interference and watch it soar.

Ponty "Then tell me and many others here, as to why you didn't sell at £6 per share, when you had the chance to"
You obviously haven't bothered to do your research. Fully documented here since privatisation is the fact that I have played them at their own game.
I have made countless transactions since day one. buying as low as 120s and selling in excess of 600s. I have not always got it right but made good profit overall.
I currently hold considerable volume (by my standard) and show a very healthy profit at today's price.
Ponty "You would only have been shafted, if you were to have sold at a loss"
You have already been shafted because you have agreed to sell at a fraction of the shares true value. Remember this share has been manipulated many times down from a high of over 600p
"Enlighten me as to how us ordinary share holders have been shafted"
As a shareholder there is a duty to protect yourselves and by definition the company you own. This is achieved by following events and giving due consideration to proposals such as we are currently doing.
Anyone that has not recognised the blatant corruption from day one. Should seriously consider their position.
The recommendation was from the BOD. They and others stand to gain from back handers. You would have had time to sell your shares prior to delisting.
As has been stated us ordinary shareholders have been shafted time and again here.
This was our time to stand up and be counted and that's what happened with a resounding NO! vote.
Those that sold or caved at the first opportunity had a choice. I personally shall not shed a tear.
Others have faced onslaught from shorters etc. They straightened their backs and came through. It's often a " thin red line" but it has a strong resolve to be counted.
