What was Cheek's LINKED IN outburst? I missed that.

Does anyone care if they are filtered?

can someone please explain why being "filtered" is considered to be a threat? bearded dragon got ****y with me today when i asked this question and the forum nutter keeps on threatening people with being filtered (look at his comments on the advfn yu chat where he filters nearly everyone ).

so what if disco, bd or anyone else doesn't want to read my comments. it is no skin off my nose. anyone who filters someone solely because thry don't like their comments must be fairly unsure of their own opinions. they cannot tolerate a different point of view. filtering someone (or at least threatening to filter) indicates a childish insecurity and the filterers imo deserve contempt.

Bearded dragon. In several people's opinion Disco's obsession with Rawson appears to be excessive. He has been asked if there is something personal behind it. I cannot see a reply.

Filtered?? What does that mean?? Can't you answer a simple question?

We are interested. Your obsession with Rawson and many years ago is at the best obsessional abd at worst indicates an unhealthy psychological condition .

So come on. Answer the question.

How do you know thst the BOD haven't bought?

Maybe it is time to put things into perspective. Even after this morning's kicking the SP is still over 100p higher than a month agi.

Lets see where it goes now but lths need not panic.

It was a trading update. Not a set of results. Why expect dividends or buyback information in an update in trading?

That is a jolly good question? Has Disco answered it?

If not, I would suggest that he doesn't understand what he is saying. Anyone who follows his advice must be pretty desperate.

Interesting.

What do you think is going to happen? Do you hold any YU sharrs atm?

I wonder how long this share price stupidity will continue. 1800 quoted by HL as the sell price yet a dummy sell was valued at 1852. Above is also showing at 1800. What is going on?

That should be rise - not ruse😁

I see that we have just tipped into positive territory today after starting negative. I haven't checked this and I may be wrong but hasn't that often been the pattern in the last couple of weeks? After an hour or so trading we have been down before each day's rise.

It is almost as if whoever is buying g isn't awake ehen the market opens.

The dust is settling on the Impellam acquisition and I guess that I am unsure what to do now. The intetim dividend is nice but is it worth holding on for the additional dividends? Whrn will the "Effective Date" be for receipt iof the additional dividends? Is it worth collecting the non cash special dividend? Are the loan notes going to be worth holding onto - or indeed will they be easily traded?

So many questions and just unsure of the best way forward.

We know that a placing is required. It will be in everyone's interest for the placing to be at high a price as possible which will depend on the sp at thr time of the placing. Earlier this week some numpty on the advfn chat claimed that the placing would be at 1.5p.!!

I therefore expect to see a rash of good news in the next few weeks to increase the SP. A placing at 15p would be a lot easier to get away with the SP at say 25p than would f be one at 1.5p.!!

Jimi. Revenue of £8.5 m from the UK would be great but that wouldn't be pure profit. Costs of c. £5m would mean that profit would be c £3.5 m or a marketcap of £35m using the conservative x10 pe. This would imply a sp of c. 30p - which would be above my breakeven level and make me happy.

We need to get into the EU, USA and ROW markets. That is when we will start to see mega profits and a much bigger mcap. With JC at the helm I am confident this will happen.

Reppyr - Don't be too hard on yourself. Nobody gets every investment decision right all of the time. I would suggest that you get one of the books on trading written by the Naked Trader. In particular study the bit on stop losses and trailing stops .

Stop losses and trailing stops are not perfect by any means - but nothing with investing is perfect.

To answer my own question... Equals got agreement to reduce their Share Premium account by £25 million so that it could be distributed in the form of a dividend

Our Share Premium account is just over £11 million. Could this be converted into distributable reserves and then passed on in dividends?

Whilst I would love an increased dividend, I can see the problem with the balance sheet reserves. Dividends can only be paid out of retained earnings and YU has less than £3 million retained earnings.With 16 million shares that does not leave much room for a sizeable dividend.

Retained earnings will increase once the 2023 profit is banked but even then tax and any profit adjustments have to be taken into account before operating profit can be moved to retained earnings.

Share buybacks would help to reward shareholders but the share is already suffering from a lack of liquidity. Buybacks would make this worse.

Perhaps there is some sort of arrangement that could be formulated by clever accountants and lawyers. Equals recently went to the High Court with a new business arrangement which allowed them to start to pay dividends. Could we do the same?
