However bad things were, the Government communicated from Number 10 EVERY single day during the heights of Covid. Even if the news was really bleak, they stayed visible and communicative. They didn't leave the Country second-guessing.

PPP is failing badly in this key area and could certainly learn a thing or two from that unpleasant experience....

Exactly Tiger. At this point (which let's face it, ain't a great point for PPP), I would far rather have the finger pointed at me as CEO for 'over communicating' than 'not communicating'. It just breeds distrust and further questions being asked. . . .

I guess, as long as we keep the board focused on the Company and not the 'company', then we will be fine. Hence no retort from me to the earlier provocation!

Moving on. . .

MyIPA - fair points all. . .

Yep, there's the rock and hard-place thing going on I agree. It's just such a mess. 'How on earth' is this not an AIM listed company; where this kind of thing, is almost the norm?!!? You gotta larf! :)

MyIPA that is indeed correct but if I was a new CEO coming into an organisation in PPP's current situation, then I would errrr towards over-communication. Just a bit too silent this lot, which breads uncertainty - and perhaps in time, distrust, such as we are witnessing here? Just my thoughts! ATB

V111JAS - I fully appreciate your wanting 'something' rather than 'nothing' viewpoint, but I won't have the required patience to sit and wait for years, for it to get back to pre-dilution (assuming it happens). But that's just me. I prefer to keep moving cash round the table, than sit on it for too long, like I did with Lloyds. I had 200,000 shares for 12 years, so received great dividends; but the rest was 100% painful . . .

Ssccss - I'm sure that they will have a 'plan', but major Investors are going to be so much more wary of PPP now. That is perfectly understandable, so it will need to form part of that 'plan' I would suggest.

I appreciate that it is currently down on the day, but it is doing very well, considering its stellar performance on Friday. Down a mere 2p as I write is nothing. . . could even finish up on the day!?

They may not have 'fully' understood 'exactly' what was happening here. 'Perhaps' certain bit of information were not forthcoming at the time; as much 'dirty' water hath since flown under the proverbial bridge since then . . .

PS If you consider all that has gone on here and you were a potential major investor. Well would you? Not now. The damage has been too severe. The company is just far too structurally compromised now.

NU - yes and I am also 100% certain that they will do a cash raise - as you say, at a horrible discount to holders. I've written PPP off and instead focus on my holdings in - RR, CBG and FTC - which are all hugely rewarding financially. Good Luck to you here. . .

The Company itself will follow shortly!

At least it's getting 'out there'. Coverage is Coverage!

Fordm - 100%. I always feel that people get way too side-tracked by dividends.

My holding here dwarfs any dividend - even if it only rises by 2p!

Many did - last week!

The current fall (-6p) is more what I had in mind. You have to accept that there will be profit taking after Friday.

Consolidate > And Move Onwards

Yes I also bought Rolls Royce at £1.12 - and am still there albeit having reduced by 50%.

BP's gains are nothing compared to gains today with FTC - following yet another major contract win.

20p to £1.04 in twelve months. Not too shabby!

I fully expected CBG to surrender some of its Friday gains, but so far, it's not actually down by very much. Early doors I do appreciate. . .
