Thank you but all I was trying to avoid saying was what you said. made a lot of sense.

Thank you for making this point re director purchases to those at the highest level at Lamprell on behalf of the small and not so small shareholders who regularly post on this board.

I am trying to avoid a pun so lets say that what you are saying seems fair to me. I can well understand that the directors of Lamprell now want to be seen to be doing the right thing in terms of their share dealing.

blingmonkey your last sentence made me laugh in part because it is so true!!!!!!!!!LOL. I have just been walking my friends dogs near St Andrews and while doing that I have been giving some thought to the general issue of director share dealing in particular the issue of insider dealing. Please can I ask if anybody has any knowledge where in recent years insider dealing has been pursued by the financial authorities to the point of prosecution as I cannot think of any cases in recent years that have received any publicity. You will all of course realise that I am talking in general terms here as I have no specific examples that come to mind. Could it be that the financial authorities no longer wish to examine and prosecute such cases rather in the way if the rumour is to be believed Mrs Thatcher closed down the Operation Countryman enquiry into corruption at the Metropolitan police force because they wish the dealings at the LSE to be seen as above board in the same way that Mrs Thatcher want the police to be seen to be free from corruption. I wonder if we are being let down by the LSE who have allowed companies such as Eurasian to be granted listings without proper protection for minority shareholders as fellow shareholders will now realise. It most certainly is taking a long time for the directors to purchase shares in Lamprell it will be a very positive signal to the market if and when this occurs.

Its not happened yet my friend but I have seen plenty in Florida that's for sure. It still concerns me that there has been if my memory is correct no director share buys for over a year.. We all know what a good signal 'director' shares sales were in the spring of last year so any buys would be welcomed by the market.

Along with many people on this board your positive analysis of this company gives us confidence to retain our holdings in this company. I have to say that the USA takes some beating even though US immigration has twice given me a hard time for spending nearly six months there each year.

I thank my friend for your mention in your recent posting but I am not sure about the hard work part relating to myself!!!!!!!!!!!! I retired at forty one and have spent the last twenty years either living in Florida or hacking around the golf courses including one near St Andrews today. What I do know however after over forty years of owning shares is that most people make the mistake of changing their investments too often with the relevant costs that go with it. I would like to thank you and in the know for really being in the know. I may be the largest shareholder in Lamprell of those who post on this board but I am far less aware of what is going on at Lamprell than several of you on this board.

Its going to be interesting to see how much the market likes this news and rerates the shares today. It looks at long last that we have turned the corner and are starting to put the events of 2012 behind us under the new management. However some director share buys and contract wins would be most welcome.

I only hope that you are in the know as well as the 'directors' who sold large quantities of Lamprell shares in May last year!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your recent interesting posts on this site and most especially your information about finding out more about Lamprell via Facebook. I have just ticked their Facebook page so I should receive regular updates in future about the company which will be helpful to me because of my significant investment in Lamprell.

I would also like to thank you for taking the trouble to write your interesting posting. It reminds me once again that wednesdayites are always kind and decent people!!!!!!!!!

Very interesting post bonum you are obviously in the know!!!!!!!

It looks like the volume could well be 4.5 million by the end of the day. I expect some news shortly lets hope its a bid at a great price!!!!!!

There must be something about to be announced soon. I am about to fly from Tampa to New York so I am wondering what the price will be by the time I arrive in the Big Apple. Any thoughts on this matter Bonum?

I dont think we should let it go by without mentioning that it was one year ago that Kevin Isles senior executive vice President sold 250,000 shares at 361.70p and Scott Doak sold 200,000 shares at 363.693p. As you will all remember a profits warning was issued to the market less than two weeks after these transactions.This was followed more recently by a multi million pound fine for poor disclosure of financial information which hurt long standing shareholders such as myself and many others on this board. No sanctions were taken against the individuals who disposed of a large part of their shareholding. It reminds me of something out of Yes Minister!!!!!!!!!!!

The RNS that was released today confirms that you are in the know so to speak and it makes your postings all the more valuable to this board. Thank you for giving us all regular updates regarding your views of this company.

I value your contributions more than any other poster on this board. Although I have forty five years experience of investing in shares and through that have learned to invest for the long term I am rather detached sitting by the Gulf of Mexico in a way that several of you are not. I am reassured by the content of your posting as you seem to know that good news is on its way and my earlier posted concerns are unfounded. I would be very surprised if Moljin would not see two or three pounds a share by the times he draws his pension.

The best atmosphere I have experienced at a game was in 1974 when Newcastle United played Burnley in the FA cup semi final.

jaycee007 thank you for your kind words. Moljen I have the greatest respect for your club and most especially your fans.

As a significant shareholder in Lamprell I have posted on this board for many years and as others will surely agree 95% of my postings have been on topic. I think it is inevitable that long term posters on this and any board will build up friendships and ocassionally go off topic. I dont recognise your name so you must be a fairly new poster on this board. I think its important that we retain a sense of humour and give a little latitude to others in all aspects of life. I even said sorry for going off topic which made it all the more surprising that you should have a go at me and my fellow wednesdayites. I myself have concerns that there has been no recent news re new contracts or director purchases and we still await news re the banking issues. I think until we get good news on these fronts we must have some concerns going forward.
