Netcurtains, there are no rules governing individual shareholdings of 20% or 25%. You made that up.

Resolutions can be defeated and takeover bids thwarted by any shareholders who between them own more than 25% of the voting rights.

And if you discount the occasions when I take Eldric or Obsisian to task for ad hominem attacks on him, I post rarely about TW, and occasionally critically. My comments on his website are sometimes critical of him too.

It's OK to ask if I know the man but not to make assumptions and disseminate them.

Netcurtains, you have no evidence whatsoever that I know TW (who I have never spoken to) so please refrain from misleading this board. And how you come up with 24% when you have all the power of Google and ChatGPT at your fingertips is a mystery.

MD may simply be ensuring that no predator can succeed with a lowball takeover bid. I would be very surprised if Croda wanted to buy the PLC.

FWIW, MD has never been supportive of my campaign to hold Ashman to account and tried unsuccessfully to persuade me to back off.

Obsisian, I detect a great deal of envy/jealousy in your attacks on TW (and also in Eldric’s). And because you know that neither you nor anyone else can match his knowledge, his analytical prowess, his bravery and his determination to bring rogues to account, all you are left with is ad hominem barbs which never hit the mark.

Many have tried to close him down and they have all failed. You (and Eldric) should have learned from that but you just can’t stop whingeing about him, even though you diminish yourself in the process. What’s more, you (and Eldric) give him ammunition with your antics: I can only assume that you keep doing so because even an insult about you on his site acknowledges your existence. The great old comedian, Jimmy Edwards once said to a young Prince Charles at a polo match: “Stick close to me, your highness if you want to get your picture in the papers.” I suppose desperately hanging on to TW’s coat tails is as relevant as you can hope to be.

The irony of it is that the ball you are ignoring in order to play the man is the holy grail of investor wellbeing. TW, almost single-handedly, exposes the bad actors in the City, protecting the wealth of his readers. He also gives plenty of winning stock tips too but those are almost incidental to his passionate campaigning for boardroom honesty and accountability.

And while you (and Eldric) desperately throw damp squibs at him, he delivers what he and his readers want: justice and a levelling of the playing field – and his track record of doggedly bringing wrong ’uns to account is outstanding.

As for contrary opinions, he welcomes them. He publishes them. He has never censored his comments section nor banned anyone for posting contrary opinions or for being rude about him. But if anyone invents “facts” about him, he will respond robustly, as we all would.

I support him because we all need him, whether we admit it or not. I am not paid to support him and I have had several heated arguments with him over the years – none of which detracts from the fact that he is the only sheriff in town.

Obsisian, there is no love lost between ShareSoc and TW but in calling for a regulatory investigation, it appears that ShareSoc too must be drama queens.

But you also seem to have a mission to undermine TW at any opportunity so perhaps you are part of the problem. As this story unfolds, as it surely will, anyone who has taken coin to defame and diminish TW will come under scrutiny. I do hope that neither you nor any of your associates are party to this professionally orchestrated foul play.

Summary By AI

Persimmon Plc reported a strong financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2025, with new home completions increasing by 12% to 11,905 and underlying profit before tax rising by 13% to £445.6 million. Revenue grew by 17% to £3.75 billion, and underlying operating profit increased by 17% to £472.1 million, with an improved underlying operating margin of 14.3%. The company's forward sales position increased by 9% to £1.25 billion for private sales as of March 1, 2026. Looking ahead to 2026, Persimmon anticipates delivering between 12,000 and 12,500 completions, with underlying operating profit expected to be towards the upper end of consensus, though profit before tax is projected to be in line with expectations due to increased finance costs from growth investments.

"However, the threats purported to be existential often read less like credible plots and more like the usual online bravado — the sort of contemptuous bluster that flourishes on the internet but rarely translates into anything resembling real-world action. In other words, unpleasant, certainly, but hardly the stuff of a political thriller."

Suggest you read the WhatsApp thread attached to the foot of the exposé instead of fabricating more of your nonsense. These hound dogs were being paid £15k each to bring the sheriff down, by fair means or foul.

Watch it play out and come back here to eat your words.

Mir admits to it - but calls it a PR fee. £15k seems to be the going price for a Mir pump.

Hm, that went well. Try this link - deleting the XXX :

gardie, read the exposé here (not behind a paywall): ********************2v2fsrbs

you'll need to read to the end to get to the best bit.

That would be the same sleazy Zak Mir who conspired with a fraudulent CEO and known criminals to defame and shut down the leading online stock market sleuth, whistleblower and investors' champion. Now exposed, I hear that Mir is having to resign from his board positions; and anyone following his TA is probably being taken for a ride to invest in stocks which he is paid to promote.

I've just been quoted 12.04 to sell 500k.

AI: "Taylor Wimpey plc reported a robust performance for the year ended 31 December 2025, with revenue increasing by 13.0% to £3,844.6 million and adjusted operating profit rising slightly to £420.6 million, though the adjusted operating profit margin decreased to 10.9% from 12.2% in 2024. The company experienced a significant decrease in profit before tax to £146.5 million, down 54.3% from £320.3 million in the prior year, largely due to exceptional costs totalling £243.8 million, primarily for cladding fire safety provisions and CMA commitments. Completions increased by 6% to 11,229 homes, and the company announced a final dividend of 2.95 pence per share and a £52 million share buyback as part of its updated distribution policy. Looking ahead, Taylor Wimpey anticipates 2026 completions to be between 10,600 and 11,000 homes, with an expected adjusted operating profit of around £400 million, reflecting softer pricing and build cost inflation."

OK, I found a few Cordel patents listed here but since Google can't find any of them and the company hasn't replied to my question, I'll swerve on this one.

Very positive presentation – and really bullish about the outlook for H2. They need to get the word out to the great unwashed.

…A few sells and down 7% after excellent RNS on Advantage contracts.

Thanks. I couldn't find any reference to patents/IP in Cordel's annual report however. I have written to Cordel to ask for clarification but no reply as yet.

Agree that she'll be very busy for some time – and I don't mean to imply that she won't care about what's right or wrong with the business: if she can improve things while filling in, she will, and it will look good on her CV. But whether she will be given full power to make long-term decisions remains to be seen – in the same way that an interim footy boss is often prohibited from buying new players. A permanent CEO wouldn't necessarily want to inherit her decisions.

But maybe she will come on board permanently, and possibly sooner than we expect. She is already the best SBTX CEO I have known – and she obviously comes with Alyson Levett's seal of approval and that inspires confidence.

I wonder if she will be pushed on stage for an IMC presentation/Q&A session because we're due one.

She's a temp – from a temp agency which makes its money by hiring out temp/interim CEOs to companies with a short-term vacancy – so I doubt that she is too bothered by the current state of SBTX which cannot anyway reflect on her. It would be different if she were taking up a permanent post.
