RoseGrower - Thanks. What happes to cash raised by issuing new shares . Does this go into buying more investment ( shares)?

Why does this investment trust keep issuing new shares. FCIT normal by back.

Retirement Plan - Don't rely on predictions/ opinions on this or any media. Even brokers gets it wrong. Do you own research or take a chance and follow your heart. Sell or buy part at a time to keep your legs on both side. Part is luck.

Sundezena. Well let's hope between us we don't.

Sundezena:- Please don't jinks SP going up. Eveytime you comment on SP going to go up more SP comes down.

BT will never be able to compete and make profit as their workers are still on Legend pay condition and practice .

What's is going on SP going down.

Sundezena - Please don't jink . Evertime you say positive SP goes down.

More likley these missed prices and B& M making a loss. Watch out of Range arm opening more Wilko stores . This wilko store are competing directly withB&M.

No wonder SP has been falling.

I am glad I managed to sell them before SP went down. This is very risky company vers reward.

Don't think they will recover. If it is not wars it will be competition or spending power.

Yes, airlines are not and have not recovered since Covid

Most airlines are not making enough profit. IAG is doing better than most another airlines but that doesn't help as one could have invested in other companies

Looks like wars are not going to end soon so SP of airlines will keep suffering. Better to sell AIG and invest somewhere else. Even buying fixed bonds might pay better

SP going down. Most companies SP has recovered but FGP is still going down. Is it because of end of buy back.?

Completion of Buyback Programme

On 8 June 2023, FirstGroup announced an on-market share buyback programme to purchase up to £115m of ordinary shares (the “£115m Programme”). The £115m Programme commenced on 3 August 2023, immediately following the completion of a previous buyback programme of £75m.

Slpj - It is very difficult to predict market. Lot of time it is luck and taking a calculated risk to be brave to sell when SP is going up. You need a broker with low dealing charges and no account maintenance fees so even with a small rise and fall you will be able deal with much costs.

Sorry meant their fuel cost will go down as they will have mostly electric busses and electric buses will be using solar power.

Low carbon emissions and Smart card incentive are also payable. LCE is lover (6p per klm) than Zero emission. As First are going to have most of their fleet zero emission they will benefit also low cost of fuel should benefit.

Smartcard and automatic vehicle location (AVL) incentives

Operators may receive an 8% increase in their BSOG rate for vehicles that have operational smartcard systems installed and a further 2% increase for vehicles that are fitted with AVL equipment.

Low carbon emission bus (LCEB) incentive

Also they receive BSOG for electricity busses.

Zero emission bus (ZEB) incentive

Operators of vehicles that hold a zero emission bus certificate may be eligible for a 22p per kilometre rate of BSOG for those vehicles. Eligible buses must:

Yes, should go up . From what I have read bus division should do well with coast going down because of electric busses. Low maintenance and cost of fuel

Just luck. I sold half 26 July because wasn't sure what Labour wood do. Never thought market would dip .
