100% treating this as a growth share at the moment, and paying down debts just increases the overall value. Dividends will come in time, but I will be well gone by then, single share dividends too unreliable, spread betting in high performing and cheap to run funds is where I am going in the next 2 - 35 years...
Agreed - The positives - A great British Company doing really well, and some folks who hung on in there making bucket loads of cash to spend in their retirement. The negatives - If you sold early for a profit you still made money, if you didn't invest, then you didn't - go find another opportunity and move on. As for me, a relatively small investment that will generate enough profit for a decent return that will cover car insurance, car and car tax for life. Simple economics for me, make enough to cover all the bills in retirement, and let the pensions cover the "Fun budget".
Buy, this is a storm in a teacup, I think this is an awesome opportunity to carpet bag the hell out of the share...
Well it looks very much like time is up for KIBO. It's been a bloody awful ride, and my half a million+ shares are worth so little I don't even want to sell them, and I intend to ride this all the way to the bottom. Bit sick I know but it's one of lifes lessons, and I like to think I have learnt something from the experience of having blood sucked from every financial bone in my body. Fortunate to have carpet bagged my way out of the crap with a few decent buys after covid, thank god for Rolls Royce 250% up. Good luck to all LTHs you know who you are!
I think this merger has some significant benefits for Informa. It's a diversification away from events in to a profitable market that is less affected by Covid type events, and it's another area that could grow by increased market share and merger and acquisition. Smart move I believe.
Suspect that having done the deals with the Supermarkets there is an increased expectation that manufacturing can maintain stock and a just in time approach to delivery. That comes at a cost e.g. ramping up to meet demand. You either manufacture yourself or outsource that, either way you need a healthy balance sheet to 1. buy or lease the equipment to manufacture, or 2. Prove that you have good credit and can afford to pay for manufacture. Cash in the bank to pay these bills is paramount...
Nothing to be sorry about, Administrative shenanigans are not what you need at a time like this. Personally in a situation like this I would just raise a complaint - https://www.aviva.co.uk/help-and-support/contact-us/complaints/ or alternatively use ContactOut to get The CEOs email address and write directly - https://contactout.com/Amanda-Blanc-82206998
CEOs hate to get complaints, and they really don't like them this close to XMAS. In the UK we generally get terrible customer service, and rather than losing the will to live in a phone queue talking to someone in India who hasn't got a scooby about your issue (and who frankly doesn't care) I would just avoid the hassle. Pretty sure that someone will pick up the email to the CEO and do something pretty quickly.
Because at the moment RR really still operates in a none diversified market. Yes, if they can build MicroNukes the business will massively expand, but as exemplified by Covid the main market is in Jet engine sales and servicing. There are plenty of reasons to suspect that another Covid will come along in the future, and if not a war that has the potential to shut down this market very quickly. Diversification in to other markets is a key tenet of a good investment strategy.
Either that or some broker has been on the pop, and put in a crazy high bid....
Agreed, but once the potential sentiment is in the market were going to see this share and others in the travel and entertainment industry in the doldrums for a while.... As you say probably more things to worry about... Anyway doing my bit for RR, flying good old BA to Austin Texas on Monday.....
The problem is that despite wars increasing the profits or aero engine and components makers and maintainers, the people that you go to war with have a bad habit of bombing planes, airports, and tourist destinations, which in turn reduces footfall for the airlines with the associated mileage reductions which is the key driver behind revenue and profit. RR could both profit and suffer as a result of this potential war (I say Potential... it's happening...
And they were right for once....
Definitely sucks, I have held these for some time, would be selling at a significant loss. Hoping for some improvement, but thats not really a strategy....
Well if they do then they kiss their asses goodbye as the UK Financial industry is one of the cash cows and successes of the nation. Who the hell would invest in the good ship GB if they do this..... Sad short termism, and sounds like they just want to come after anyone who has the wherewithal to actually try to invest and make something of their savings.....
Why does that read like a chatGPT generated commentary on RR?
Great update from Investec - forecast shifts to buy and a share price of £28.50 - happy days.....
Nice rise today and recently, as well as a nice dividend payment. RELX are really becoming a money making machine in terms of both growth and dividends, what's not to like.
Good set of mid year results, well run company, shareholders seeing rewards for patience. Happy days!
Question in my mind is would you want a modular nuclear reactor made in the UK by a recognized excellent engineering company on your door-step, or one made by a Chinese conglomerate somewhere on the outskirts of Nangxia.... I like the accountability that comes with home built, but no doubt this needs significant investment before it comes to fruition. Govt needs to get it's head out from up it's a$$, back this 100% to make it happen. It will reap returns many times the level of investment as countries without the wherewithal and finances to do this themselves should buy them by the dozen. Assuming of course that the designs and intellectual property aren't' stolen by certain Eastern entities that seem to copy everything that the West designs......
Complete and utter BS sensationalist headline. I flew BA to Rome at the weekend during all of this supposed chaos, and the whole operation was slick, security was fast, check-in was super quick, and the BA service overall was excellent as usual. Flew on one of the newer BA airbus planes, was very comfortable, service was good and available if you needed it. For me it feels like the press has an agenda when it comes to BA, could it be that it's a big target and lazy journalists just continue to feel the need to have a dig. Pretty much the problem with the UK - Lets find something successful and take a dump on it from a high place. T5 at Heathrow was very busy, whole operation felt like before Covid, and on the return flight, folks luggage was ready for them as we walked in to the arrivals hall. Not sure the share will double any time soon, but I can see it adding another 50p quite easily this year. DYOR - maybe even try the BA experience and see what you think. Probably not as good as the state funded Qatar and Emirates airways, but they are competitive.
