Thanks Alan appreciated.

Hi Alan80 - New to the post and have acquired a position with MEARS. I have also worked alongside MEARS on social housing contracts which they dominate in the sector. I am not really that experienced on buybacks so would be grateful if you would offer your opinion on the following in relation to Milton and buybacks :

1. Why would MIlton Sell the shares if MEARS are in line with their financial expectations ?

2. Will the buy back eventually benefit the shareholders once the total 20m has been taken ?

Thanks

Interesting - I work in Workington and actually have dealings with this MP from time to time so will be keeping a look out !

They seem to be buying up the whole world at the moment so hopefully they know what they are doing !

FWD T. Thanks for putting Nikes earning in to context and the fact that they recognise the multiband expectation from customers. I have always wondered if JD did not have one off divesting write-downs reported in its last update where the share price would have been.

This should clarify the position on Airbus.

Its all a bit crystal ball at the moment. With brokers comments, green considerations and now unions. August will give us a clear picture. Easy to get caught in the noise considering the Paris Air show appeared to be a success and a week later the positive news has been diluted.

Jarnold thanks for this. I wonder is these comments took into account the positive feed back from the CEO at the parish air show regarding expectations and China.

It will certainly go back up. Its always been a volatile stock on good news and perceived bad news.

I think even it was double the profit expectations the market would have viewed it critically. Look at the head lines on the other tabloids which are more positive.

Robdon - Agreed, considering the bad news generally in the ftse.

It must be market sentiment atm. Sports direct always looks empty compared to JD when I shop,

Still can figure out the drop - Shoe Zone and Lulu all doing well.

Dan what are you expecting the AGM update will be ?

Really getting hammered now.

Badland - I think the share price is like your personality volatile, only that RR Royces reasons are the market but yours appear to be mental health. You claim that you do see it as personal yet you put numerous comments in a matter minutes. Grow up and deal with it. May be you should try pulling out the weeds in your garden or your mind !

What a sad loser you are. Having claimed you have sold your stake in RR you do not have the dignity to walk a way not only are you a loser but a poor and bitter loser. I can only assume that the the heat has got to to you ,,,,,Put the fan on and calm down...The Turfan one.......!

The new CEO is probably not as verbally elegant as Warren East, which some shareholders may not like. However, I would rather have a CEO that says it as it is and gets on with it. He clearly made an impact in the oil industry and am sure the shareholders did not complain when the revenues improved regardless of how tactless he may be in expressing his views. Rolls Royce needs a shake up. There are too many fat management tiers and in efficient ways of working that need resolving. Companies are always going to get minor and major distractions such as the India issue and that the nature of business. Its down to the management to resolve matters and all to be pragmatic and patient.

Agreed - Some people on this board just need to chill out and stop constantly watching and commenting on the share price as it it wont have any impact on it. !
