Reading 252 should be 256

SP up 10p

Dale. Project fear has no affect here. Your time is wasting.

JB. Totally agree and why I tend to call them out also. Although some are cretins that are not worth putting pen to paper. Bet you wish you had stayed on holiday.

Hedge funds have doubled their bets against Royal Mail Group (LON:RMG) in just over a month, The Telegraph has revealed. The move marks another blow for the privatised postal operator which lowered the upper end of its profit guidance in its latest update last month and warned that letter volumes would decline more than previously expected, with the update fuelling concerns over the group’s payout to shareholders. Royal Mail’s share price fell in the previous session, giving up 0.89 percent to close at 254.70p, marginally underperforming the broader UK market, with the FTSE 250 index ending trading 0.71 percent lower at 19,047.67 points. The group’s shares have lost more than 54 percent of their value over the past year, as compared with about 4.6-percent fall in the Footsie. Hedge funds bet against Royal Mail The Telegraph reported yesterday that short-sellers had built up a £180-million short position in Royal Mail, forecasting that the mid-cap group’s shares will suffer another plunge. The newspaper notes that after hedge funds initially cashed out on the back of the postal operator’s woes, shorts have surged back to hit the highest level on the Financial Conduct Authority’s records. More than seven percent of shares in the privatised postal operator are out on loan to hedge funds hoping to profit from a drop in the shares.

JB. He replied to my doubting the validity of his previous figures as follows so don't be too concerned.... Redceo, sometimes rudimentary unscientific research can be rewarding.

We are the plebs, used and cheated by the small percentage that have power over us or so they think. SP we are talking of losses but unless you are thinking of giving your shares away you have lost nothing. It's a paper loss and a temporary situation although of course temporary can sometimes last longer. If you have the means use this drop to your advantage if not WAIT. Brexit. The politicians will find their treachery will come back to them with a vengeance. Just give it time. KEEP CALM AND KEEP BUGGERING ON.

Maybe not good to make such decisions during a good lunch anyway. So I have a 4th April top up planned let's see how it works out. Either way things will work out here of that I'm sure.

Nuri. Lucky I am out having lunch or may well have done the same. My plan is to wait until after 4th April. Will things have been

JB. Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself. I shall also find the funds to top up here occasionally. Thanks for the snippets of info always interesting.

Well it was your choice to leave your pals in their hour of need. We even had to deal with the rising short reports which is your task.
Give us more warning of your holidays in future. Bet you had a great time also selfish *** ??

Agreed but my point is that a rise is a rise.

Nuri. Asia & FTSE up RMG AV. Up. What's to complain about?

Just think there will a time when we look back at these prices and think why didn't I have the sense to sell the family silver and top up more. Of course the answer is we fear uncertainty. I just read two experts? totally opposing views on RMG. So you pays your money and takes your chance. I live dangerously which tends to keep the adrenalin flowing albeit sometimes overflow. I remain a believer rightly or wrongly.

Vred. A sensible person contemplating a physically demanding job is well advised DYOR. If it transpires that the challenge is greater than anticipated think again.

I am not saying it isn't hard work PP and although it's a pleasant community benefit to chat it's not what their paid to do. Sounds harsh and in the past things were more pleasant. But these days the Shorters use the smallest excuse to hammer the SP and we know productivity is one of many excuses.

NewP. I read "Bully" and it does sound rather childish. It's the managers job to get the mail delivered on time which is after all what the postal fee is paid for. As an employee you have two options one is to do your utmost to achieve the same end or decide that the job isn't for you. Of course you could say they should employ more posties but that would mean there would be times when they were overstaffed and less profitable. As we see the profits are suffering and better productivity is required. Isn't that what management is trying to achieve?

StY. Was an interesting link. Of course there are discussions that are held over drinks, been there done that. It's not always a malign influence sometimes what is good for a JP Morgan could just happen to benefit a private investor. Let's see how the dice fall over the year.

Short now at 7.25 with an increase by GLG.

Mad, I see your point agreements are put in place in order that both sides understand their obligations and stick to them. Hopefully Rico has enough experience to understand his obligations and of course same goes for the Union. After all what is the point of arguing the toss if an eventual agreement is not adhered to.
Your posts here immediately attract the would be Union bashers and detracts from a sensible discussion. I am a shareholder but intelligent enough to understand the benefits of Unions to workers and management alike. I shall be interested to hear anything you feel may be of interest.
