One of the true commentating greats.
Many of us grew up with his superb style and voice.
I can't improve upon this supreme compliment from John Cleese:

The most sane and comforting voice I ever heard
I always thought that I could cope with the ending of the world if only Peter was commentating on it.

That, says it all.

Bit early for ffs any time of the day, IMO.
Future gains on anything for us all, depend on a working vaccine.
Meanwhile our illustrious elected leaders pounce about trying to catch fish. Now, that is a ffs!!

Fascinated to learn, after the event, what has your attention, Rox.

Ooh, go on...
Be a devil, 3300.

Answered your question, without even pressing the keyboard, Rox.
See the 2 recent mails, on here, since you asked me.

Basically, and IMO, Saga haven't understood their customer base.
I took (in a small way) the IPO 6 years ago, since we were all living longer and i felt more of us oldies would increase their customer spread, and a new 'visionary' CEO would help.
Plus, always had Uncle Roger in the background.
However, they were far too complacent.
As has been said, massive profit warning late 2017.
Then the very superior attitude over the 3 year insurance guarantee. Which was offered at a ridiculously high initial place.
Hence, they lost their way, and couldn't work out how to trade out of it.
Downward spiral, of a basically sound business.

Uncle Rog appears on his white charger, but had to prop up the company with a high 'buy-out', based on their market worth at that point.
However, Uncle Rog had made a big fortune selling 15 years ago. So he could afford it.
Plus, a skilfully made offer of 33p, basically propelled Uncle Rog into action.
All mixed up with our covid friend, of course.

As you spotted, suddenly help was at hand, and future is rosier.

Rambling now, so will shut up.
You know all the current and recent past, so i hope the foundations which commenced in 2004, helps, a bit.

Let me know your 'share tip' after it's not a tip!!

Go on then 33. Mention it!!!

Hi Paul,
Fully understand that.
Nice village you are in.
I had similar female issue!!
I was a Petersfield area lad, but now in north Dorset.
Got no sea legs, myself.
But, good fun on here, and holding shares.

Can i borrow your crystal ball, when you've finished with it Banbury.
Armed with the answers to all your points, we'll all be doing a Del boy, next year flit.
I think a brief summary of where SAGA has been is useful.
All companies should be doing that.
The past forms the future.
IMO, there is room on here for all constructive views, which include Rox and yourself.

Morning Rox,
Hope you are well. and your efforts on the market are paying dividends. (pun intended).
Well, as dividends are just about unheard of currently, hope the capital growth is flourishing.
Just stay away from GGP & EUA. I'm doing nicely there

Nice idea of brief summary.
I think you need to start with Uncle Roger selling off company (2004?), at a huge profit to him having been started by his old man many years before (1953?).
Then, heavily overpriced IPO at £1.85 (2014?).
Then, 95% reduction in share price over 6 years!!
Then, all the latest hiatus which you are well versed with.

Don't forget your skill at perfectly timing the market's movements!!

Off subject, what else has your money/attention.
For my part, during all the fun and games with AML, my attention went elsewhere. Now have a portfolio of 12 different holdings. 10 doing well, 1 break-even, 1 a bit duff.

Keep posting your helpful and also humorous comments.
Life has never been the same since the old AML gang dispersed.
All the best to you.
R.

New or Old?
Were you sick of the sea, seasick. Hence Alresford?

Spot on.
Plus, the board turned down an offer of 33p, without even discussing it.
So, this share is still being played.
Even doubling from here, still makes it cheap.

I think it has turned out to be conservative.
However....
When it was set, poo was much lower and they have a lot of debt, so needed to get lenders on board by being conservative.
TLW will benefit now, as will SP.
I think we have a further 10% uplift in next month.

What....................
Where in the world are you?
You can't buy EUA? Why didn't you buy them here on LSE?
IMO, you've complicated a simple trade by involving the Frankfurt exchange.
Why, have you done that?

first class.
Should be shown at commencement of AGM!!

Aaaarrrggh..............
Rox, the KOD is back.
No wonder, we are on the downward path.
I think you should give us all 48 hours before you trade Rox.
That would give us all a chance, before you start making the share price running amok!!

Please, please please. Pretty please, stay away from EUA and GGP, Rox.
Ta, very much.

I hold EUA and GGP.
No direct connection between them, but bit of a SP race going on.
Who will win? Certainly the s/h's in each company.
Bit like the vaccine race.
Still more uplift to come from each company.

I'm not sure the FTSE futures from Friday, is of any real value.
Suggest you view the futures tonight, from 11.00pm.
I suspect it will be higher, though.

Good to read this thread.
A humble apology, if and when due, and subsequent acceptance, speaks volumes about both parties.
All part of the ride on here (and life) to have differing views and opinions.
And absolutely nothing wrong when expressed with respect and politeness.
Shame more on LSE don't understand that.

Hi rjb92,
Welcome.
Seems you have a good strategy, and have sussed the postings on here.
Some good, some just a waste of space.
I like your posting style.
If i've interpreted your 'name' on here correctly. My equivalent would be rjd58!!
Good to have you on board.

Good morning all,
I was the poster that was tickling Rox and advocating the 'do opposite to Rox theory'.
As Rox knows, and i want to make clear to all, i was bantering with Rox.
He is in a small minority on here, with a pleasant humour.
We had plenty of banter on AML.
For the record I hold a very small IPO number, but piled in big time and hold at a post RI old price of 14.5p.
Will leave you all to convert that price to today's, since many views on that.
I know how i convert it.
Anyway, good to 'see' you Rox. Hope all ok with you.

Stroll believes (correctly imo) too many shares in circulation. This causes a low (absolute) share price.
So, simply, for every 20 shares you own, he is going to cancel them, and give you 1 share in exchange.
Company worth the same, so share price will (in theory) go up 20fold.
So, no change in total value for any shareholder.
