Oooooooooooooh dear.

Today's huge slide, does not bode well for tmw!!

MM's will have been fore-warned.

Hold onto your hats.

The only number 1 for Status Quo comes to mind!!!!

Research it, if you need to!!!!!

His ousting, suggests serious recruitment issues for BP.

How on earth do you get appointed as chairman, to so severely fall on your sword, so quickly.

Did they not take up references!!!

Leopard never changes his spots.

This debacle will seriously dent any confidence in the board, and the share price.

I bet even the lunch-time sarnies are suffering from curled corners.

What a shambles. This is meant to be a serious international company. Acting like kids in the play-ground, whilst salting away over-blown salaries, that we shareholders are paying for.

£13.00 for RR is a major coup.

To achieve it, and hold it (hopefully), on such a down day, is very SIGNIFICANT.

Even the yanks won't spoil this.

This share is doing worse than little stroll in F1.

That's all big stroll is interested in, F1, and keeping his son amused. Oh, and charging exorbitant interest on the money he and his mates have propped up this doomed venture with.

Stroll on, what a car crash!!!!

Lots of perks for Perks, i bet.!!

His share options ( no doubt free) should rise with his appointment.

Lets hope he can get the company revved up and he's not full of exhaust fumes!

Hi Alnwick,

Yes, RR have been phenomenal. I still think, there's some head room with them, In the region of 20% more, in next 12 months.

Like you, i hold a buy average below £1.

If only i could manage that everywhere!!

I'm very disappointed with SAGA. Their management structure is all wrong, far too flat, and fat.

Still they have got 1 thing right....

Their name!!!!

It has and still is a right SAGA.

All the best.

I trimmed up my shrubs the other day.

I think you need to cut them back by more than 2%. You won't even notice that.

Take care in the heat.

Don't worry, Mother nature will soon have them growing back up.

Hi Alnwick,

Thank you for your positive note.

Whilst i accept your figures for recent gains. Some of us still hold the scars from the IPO some 12 years ago.

I've pumped money into Saga (and down the drain) at their request since then.

Am i bitter and twisted?? Not, a bit, as i have a healthy holding in RR (thank God).

And RR as a multi national, market leading FTSE 100 company, only have 1 CEO.

Not like this lot, that got dumped out of the FTSE 250, due too xxxx poor performance, that have divisional CEO's!! Hence over burgeoning top management structure.

I have done DYOR!! Long long way to go here. It's easy to get a good % return from a decimated position.

Good luck to you. I've no truck with you, Keep up your good messages,

You must be very tired tonight RR.

All that effort you used to breach the sacred £10.00.

So, so close.

I hope you've not exhausted yourself, and have a little puff left for tmw, to inch over the line.

Once, you are there we can gallop, onwards.

Thank you RR, for all you've achieved in the last 4 years or so, since you asked me to bump up some more money, to help you.

Oh, you want a score for your efforts today.

Well, out of 10....

It'll have to be.... 9.984.

Best of luck for tmw.

Nat west boxed, never heard of them.!!

It appears that we have a CEO of Saga money! No wonder Saga has been such a poor investment, too many chiefs in the very top heavy management structure.

We have an ever growing number of silver haired folks, why oh why do Saga struggle to make a decent return. Ah yes, very top heavy management structure, and lack of market leading markets.

@Peakdread.

Just 3 words of advice, on stop losses

Avoid, avoid, avoid.

The only benefit is for MM's. They can see the stop losses and will bomb the SP to grab your shares.

So, in case i didn't mention it, AVOID.

Just block him/her, like most of us have done.

His/her survival is based on drawing a response.

If starved of replies, his/her oxygen dries up.

Then he/her will shove off somewhere else.

Then we all win.

Thanks to Prawn Curry, and Graham10K, for taking the trouble to respond.

I'm not overkeen on II either, seems expensive with a monthly fee. I'll be looking elsewhere to place my portfolio.

I've got an account with HL, but been disappointed with them, since the take-over was announced.

I'll certainly have a look at IG and Etoro.

Would appreciate any further comments from this board, to my original post at 19.29 on 20th.

Thanks.

I've got exactly the same 5 filtered messages.

Let's hope we can get rid of the nuisance.

We need to all block him, to suffocate him out.

Just been advised that my platform Jarvis (the firm behind L&SE), are transferring their execution only trading accounts (which includes mine) to Interactive Investor.

I'm aware of II, although not familiar with their reputation nor customer relations, nor usefulness of their platform, nor their charges.

I'd be pleased to receive all relevant comments, be they good or bad.

Will be back here tmw, to view any responses.

Many thanks in advance.

Half a loaf, better than none.

The chairman announcement says a lot about BP.

i). No succession plan for key individuals is poor for a major company.

ii). That said, the vice-chair is probably cut from the same old and tired cloth. So new blood required.

iii). However Lund, should go immediately, and vice-chair take reins whilst new replacement found.

iv). Hanging around for 12 months or so, will keep BP in it's current malaise.

All this announcement does is take some of the impetus away from the hedge fund that is pushing for change.

As, i say, it's half a loaf. The BP oil tanker is taking some time to manoeuvre.

More jam tomorrow, let's kick it down the road, and blame other's factors, rhetoric. This time from the new boy!

3 figures.

DEBT Interest £115M (That's £315,000 a day!! Each day, even Sundays!). A lot of which is trousered by Stroll and his rich buddies.

ASP : £250K. Upon which you lose £80K as you drive off the forecourt!

Margin 35%. Down by 25% from 45%.

So you need to sell 1350 cars, just to pay the interest.

They sold 6000.

So every 5th car sold doesn't quite cover the interest!!

A car crash of a share!!!

Shame it didn't last, for more than 5 mins.

We've had enough, of no interest, notifications to turn into a roll of wallpaper in the last 6 months.

Nothing, about when we will actually receive the undervalued take-over money.

Sadly, no other firm was interested in buying HL.

Does any-one know when this long drawn out torture, will actually end, and a date for when we will get the money for our loss making shares?

Thanks, in advance.
