I now occasionally look at this board to see if it has changed; the same half dozen pathetic, sad introverted posters continually sniping at each other.

So sad; what their home lives must be like spending hours a day on this substitute for for a life.

Oh well so long as they have no other hobbies I suppose it helps them, it doesn't help the few real investors that log on with the hope that there may be some relevant information.

Again don't bother commenting, water, ducks back, seems to be appropriate.

Perhaps Milliband has it reserved to buy Russian oil

Grainger PLC on Thursday boosted its dividend as it said it is on track to meet targets after reporting mixed first half results.

The Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England-based residential landlord reported an IFRS pretax loss of GBP14.6 million in the six months to March, swung from a GBP74.0 million profit the year prior.

This reflected a GBP46.6 million decline in valuations compared to a GBP28.7 million increase the year before.

EPRA earnings increased 4.0% to GBP31.4 million from GBP30.2 million as net rental income grew 7.8% to GBP66.1 million from GBP61.3 million.

EPRA net tangible assets per share fell 2.7% to 290 pence from 298p.

Chief Executive Helen Gordon called it a "strong" performance.

"Occupancy remains high, rental income continues to grow along with our portfolio, and like-for-like rental growth continues in line with expectations, underpinned by wage inflation," she added.

Grainger said it is on track to deliver its target of GBP60 million EPRA earnings for this financial year, a 12% increase year-on-year, and GBP72 million for financial 2029.

The interim dividend was increased, for the 21st consecutive period, by 3.2% to 2.94p per share from 2.85p.

Shares in Grainger were 2.9% lower at 150.70 pence each in London on Thursday.

UK not UL

The smoking ban in the UK shouldn't really do much to impact on BAT. It's an international company and the UL sales are pretty small in comparison to their worldwide sales. I'd be quite dissappointed if the USA imposed a similar ban though.

" I would expect to see diesel rationing or potentially even removed from public purchase altogether. It will just be electric or petrol for the general public. "

What timescale are you baseing your statement?

With appproximately 37% of all vehicles on the road, almost 30% being cars, I would suspect that would be a rather strange expectation in the next few years.

"Things can bounce quickly and we cannot time the market perfectly. In hindsight it’s better to stay put and not get emotional as hard as it may be. "

Totally agree, I feel lucky to be only about £45,000 down at the moment, but that's across about some 50 odd shares in my portfolio and you've not lost anything until you sell, dividends still coming in though, at least until dividends are cut :(

Sorry Badprophet..

Apologies.

"If this drops then the world has gone mad! Good luck all."

Unfortunately the world has gone wrong is one of the reasons why BAE is producing great results

"heppens"

Apologies I wasn't trying to impart a South African accent to the post.

As I'm still substantially in profit and as I don't need the money I'm happy to wait to see what heppens in two years time.

Just no longer adding to my holding.

"Totally agree. So many naiive investors. An offer would be at around 2.4p maximum. I was in shanta gold. Dreamers should look to this for reference"

An offer of 2.4p would probably be a a little low an assessment as the projected political stability in Ethiopia over the current projected Tulu Kapi operational time scale (excluding and extension into underground mining) is about 7 years and with a current discount on the true valuation of Tulu Kapi is about 40% -45% taking account of the current value of gold.

However if the political situation stabilises then a 5p - 7p per share valuation is much more likely and depending on the price of gold being stable or indeed increasing as projected over the next 4 - 5 years then the share value could indeed rise to substantial levels.

I'd think that if the mine developed into its underground deposits as opposed to just open pit mining this could justify a 20p plus per share valuation.

But a lot of cards have to fall into place., but assuming that the Government is able to control the various provinces and the price of gold remains in excess of US$4,000 then the sp could be a 10 bagger from the current price.

Always nice to be an optimist :)

As a matter of interest does anyone know if Trtax is the landlord of the Marston Gate unit that Amazon are intending to close down.

And they still haven't paid the cash they have held back to pay for the alleged lack of clarity on tax.

Crisplex.

"It's an embarrassment. I'm assuming you're all adults right? Look at yourselves. Grow up."

I've tried telling them something similar in the past.

Doesn't do any good, the main offenders are so far up their own fundament that they are unable to not only take crticism, but are unable to see how basically pathetic they are.

Still one has to accept that this is a chat group and whilst it is a shame they are allowed to have a play.

Trump has stated that American oil companies will be deployed to "fix" the country's badly broken infrastructure.

Taking account of the fact that China has been a substantial purchaser of Venezualean oil being dependant on Venezuala for about 4 % of its total supply and currently buys it at a substantial discount to world prices.

Does anyone have a considered view on the impact on China's view on Mongolian oil?

Proquo..

"Tt, unless PetroChina are the farmee, or the ones putting cash on the table?"

Using the 30% they have held back from their payments perhaps?

Abzzba.

It is unfortunate that there are very few posters on here who actually post relative to PM. Your post however relate to this board and are substantially of interest. Thank you.

Just had to answer a phone call and saw that in the meantime the posts had risen to 53. Still with few relative to PM
