If were out on WTO then we better get our productivity rates up to something like France,25% higher per hour worked. http://www.primeeconomics.org/articles/o91sdlu312b90filbobylfincxj5sb Or is it a race to the bottom with further deregulation of labour laws?

Cant think there will be much profit taking this friday as its stayed pretty much the same all week but it is a long weekend. Next important date macro wise is next Friday 12th of May when Trump decides on ending Iran deal or not.GLA

Macrock,you are definately not alone and i reported it to SFO but no reply within the 20 days. Nobody seems to care about this kind of fraud. It really should have a slot on the BBC's Fake Britain show !

They have to pay �150m by the end of 2019 and they do suggest a disposal,then �60m in 2020. "The term loan is repayable in instalments with �150.0 million of repayments (including from disposals) due before or during 2019 and �60.0 million in 2020. The balance of funding is committed until September 2021 and is subject to a covenant to reduce gross borrowings to below �450 million by 30 June 2020. What are they going to sell without denting profits too much?

Someone should have mentioned timings to Debbie,lol

Got a feeling someone was looking for a frying pan at 130p a couple of weeks ago,how about a saucepan at 140p,lol

Denby,interest payments for 2017 are �27.3m so they need to find an additional �29m.I'm hoping the "fit for growth" strategy will supply sufficent cost savings probably by a head count reduction. "The directors have reviewed the viability of the Group over a three-year period to December 2020. The choice of a three-year period reflects the long-term secured nature of the Group's revenues with �4.1 billion of work already secured in the order book covering the period up until the end of 2020. It also accords with the period covered by the annual strategic planning process which is discussed in greater detail below. The three-year period takes the Group until December 2020, nine months before expiry of the entirety of the current committed borrowing facilities". Either way the BOD feel they will be around for another 3 yrs or otherwise they wouldn't have released the above statement,just as usual have to get rid of the shorters but they are handy for short term trading!.

If we had a decent accountancy system this whole out sourcing mess would have been out in the open back in 2016 instead of being swept under the carpet. Bought in at 95p lets hope those brokers targets are right.

I think we all go through that stage at 50 thinking will we have sufficent to take us through retirement. What a waste of time,probably hyped up by the insurance industry.Unless your only facing riots living on a state pensions things will be fine. A lot of people have the perception their life style will remain the same,it wont.In hard stats men live to around 81yrs so really your only catering for 20yrs which believe me will fly by and if the worse happens and your looking at care costs then surely there must be some insurance package to eliminate that risk. Long term investing i would say the only sector which HAS to survive in some form is finance.Take oil for instance,sure i feel oil will hit $80 a barrel but to think things will be the same in 10yrs time.Just a break through in battery technology and the whole energy market will change overnight. With most things the golden rule is never spend more than you are prepared to lose-don't borrow. Investment opportunities come along in all shapes and sizes.Had the solar panels installed in 2011,break even this year with �40k of income left on the roof. PS.For the record mum is 91yrs old and lives quite comfortably on state pension,i just provide the red wine!

Blue,totally agree out of TW at 189p although todays initial fall was over done when you think there's a 10p special at the end of May. 1st Quarter GDP figs tomorrow which may not look too promising for total UK companies unlike PFC.

You bunch are a load of poker players,without contract news still feel its near the top of its cycle. Plenty more fish in the sea,so TW, and hastings group today. GLA.

You right Dog,add that one to the negatives.

WG almost went blue on ex div day so who knows? Currently sticking in cash, still awaiting Dow to show some direction.I think inventories of oil were up today and the Dollar is definately strengthening,which is good for divi conversion for those who stuck but not good for oil demand. Shorts,last time i looked haven't changed since last Friday. Should be an interesting day even without a rns.

Well,Dow taking a bit of a nose dive so prehaps a chance to get back in but feel i'll forgo the divi and wait till Thursday,still believing the hedgies will protect their position. 633p,i wasn't expecting that so baled out at 570p last week,win some you lose some.Had a stab at William Hill today so it wasn't a waste of time.

Goldman Sachs/Citygroup are selling the RI very well and why wouldn't they,they do have �701m on the line.Do you think they will be so nice once they have thier hands on your money?. 5 RNS's yesterday,lots of light reading culminating in Director buy's,i haven't seen that many director buy's since Conviviality 2 months before administration.Look,thats not going to happen here but they have gone over the top selling this RI. As Hazrat said "the start of a very long journey".

Well if it is a frying pan,its not the end of the world! Keep them coming Borgy.

WG went ex divi today and almost going blue.The whole sector is strong. Yes i sold out too early. At some point the hedgies will defend their 6% or �100m prehaps a chance to get back in,however if that fails the 6% works to your favour. GL to all holders

This Lords decision is good news for Lloyds.

Thats what its all about.We don't normally do 4% plus without some sort of news so looking like there's been a leak?

Well unless some news has been leaked,i would think after todays price rise it has only one way to go-a small correction down.
