Just seen a large director buy by a director and family member. If they have confidence , I do.

Good article . Thank you

Fingers crossed,thank you

Hi riverboy , tough undoubtedly . I’m just hoping the results out shortly are going to be positive . Good luck all

Saw the most recent presentation . V impressed with ceo and cfo . Invested today

Hi Mike , thanks for that . I think the average for January - March is going to be higher . Let’s see who is right . Certainly eagerly awaited

Hi Mike , I can’t comment on your figures but we will know it April . One thing I would add though is that a lot of charters were locked in for the rest of the year prior to the seasonal downturn . I am nursing a painful loss now but nothing near to what the eco and family are so hopefully they will be working hard on both their and our behalf to improve the situation .

Hi my average is 82p so sitting on an even bigger loss. Their is a large seller who is continuing to shed his stock hence the continual fall. The company are currently looking for someone to take over the shareholding, so far without success by the looks of it.Trump and trade war talk has not helped. THE CEO and his family have a huge stake in this company so have far more to lose . The father also has a huge track record of success. Personally I am sticking and reinvesting half of my dividends. The rest I am using for wine buys ! Charter rates have really been strengthening in the last two weeks . My view is to review at year end results in the hope the company shows a profit or a much slimmer loss . I am comforted that the CEO and family have such a huge steak and will be working to turn it around.

Hi Mike, back in UK yesterday after a great time thank you. You missed the fourth transaction for 1 million shares making the total 1037,500 shares. Agree with you on everything else though !

Now that shows belief ! Huge buy .

Hi riverboy and thanks for your lovely message . No need for an apology at all . Really enjoy yours and others comments on this board . We live on the east coast so the winds coming of the sea at this time of year are dire . Thailand we love though at this time of year . I retired at 53 and am 68 next month . Time seems to be speeding up yearly though . Our average is 84p but have so many now sitting on a big loss. However the regular div and the forthcoming big one eat into that quarterly . Fortunately charter rates slowly improving post Chinese new year . Stay warm and let’s all look forward to hopefully an exciting development from the company .

Hi riverboy , in the analysts briefing two points were repeatedly emphasised . An old colleague got me access to it as was not available to the general public . The first was that the special dividend could have been a lot higher but the company decided caution and to keep a cash pile available for any eventuality . Secondly the determination to return value to shareholders . With the family having huge skin in the game and a young ambitious board I remain confident . I wish I had more to invest but already way over 50 percent of my share portfolio invested here . Secondly I don’t seem to be making much money sitting on a sun bed in Thailand lol . Fingers crossed for today and rates

Mike , a great post as always and you read the situation correctly a few weeks back . Agree all . Koh Samui paradise as always thank you . Got son wife and first grandchild here so very special . Booked for next year already ! Let’s hope rates continue to recover and strengthen . Ps granddaughter ok today but wasn’t well yesterday . Thought we may need to see a doctor. Hotel owners daughter sent email to doctor at private hospital she uses for her children stating symptoms and that we may come in . Within 2 minutes she got email reply from doctor saying if not recovered just bring her in be she would be seen immediately . As not a political page won’t tell you of our experiences of local nhs .

As investors frustratingly note , when buys outstrip sells as today so annoying when share price drops . But one huge buy today dwarves the others .

Hi riverboy . Good points all . The price is falling today because the price has gone ex dividend both for the normal and special dividend . Also fallen because of Chinese new year . If you go on this is money Taylor maritime they tend to better list the buys and sells . Better than this site. Re the family until recently I was able to check the share register . They have a HUGE amount invested . Both this and the success of the father in the previous company give me confidence. Share fall annoying and frustrating in the extreme but I remain invested and confident in the long term . Bst rgds Sam

That’s a good point ….. but lse is lse . Wish it was better

I’m afraid not as the exact opposite happened the other day . The only thing that might explain it is there is a big seller so one large sell against a number of buys effects it all . If honest I gave up trying to understand the London market a long time ago

Improving results but some if the deals done on the alter of leaving evil coal and moving to greens have proved to be a total disaster to date . I have a very small holding now but sitting on a huge loss even for that . I also was far from pleased the way they altered the dividends. Lost faith in the management and will edit when I can

Hi gonsan, a very balanced and sensible view . Share stop upsetting but have confidence it will come back . Plus 90 per cent of goods in the world go by shipping.

Thanks Krusty . Well said snd totally agree all . When hopefully this gets to a £1 we should organise a meet up with Mike et al . I’m in Suffolk but can travel accordingly. So saying that off to Thailand Wednesday where I will still be keeping an eye on things ! Bst rgds Sam
