That would of course be Deadlines…….

Are we now just waiting for the AGM and a vote or are there any other steps between now and then? I appreciate the election outcome may change things but assuming not is it just a yes or no in Sept?

About time. Although there were some sensible comments amongst the bile there weren’t enough for people to tolerate their nonsense.

Into the real subject it looks like I’ve once again been burnt by this share. Not yet a loss but it’s not looking rosy as it was a week ago. Stunned that a major company can postpone results on the day of release and at the very least sums up the paucity of management if it’s a simple error. At worst there could be a serious financial issue which again leads back to management.

When I’ve exited this time I must remember to never return!

Hi Red I’ll stick with my modest holding and maybe finally see a profit by not selling too quickly as I have before. I have limited knowledge although I do think the price will increase but Mr K has been a constant over my popping in and out over the years and whilst I’m sure he’s knows exactly what he’s doing, I’m not sure the rest of us do. If he really wanted IDS I can’t see why it’s not happened and at a time (pre election at least) when he might get a sensible deal. I guess we’ll know in the coming weeks.

I posted recently about Mr K’s intentions (much to the amusement of the rude person that many of you block). I visit this site when I buy IDS shares. To date I’ve made diddly squat and have done far better from Covid era oil stock. The common theme over the past years when I have returned to this site is Mr K, who despite much speculation (and of course a large holding) hasn’t ever appeared to come that close to a takeover, which is why I wondered what his actual plan is.

Does he really want the business or is he looking for a profit on his holding and a swift exit. If he wants the business why wait until things are looking up at IDS when surely he knows he’ll be expected to pay more. All very unclear but then what do I know.

I hope you’re correct because I’m holding. A large amount to me but not in the scheme of the world I guess. I’d be more than happy with £3.50.

I held a few thousand Royal Mail shares at I think £1.90 during the early lockdown. I read the various boards and many said they were going to crash and burn and many said they were going to head north of £4. I sold at a loss (mostly due to union worries) and of course at the peak would have tripled my stake. I guess what I’m really saying is be careful as these (BP) could head south or could be another Royal Mail but most of us on here lack the data/knowledge to be totally sure.
