A few more years of this experiment,20% reduction so far,not convinced we will still be a reserve currency. Love it, since the ref we have fallen from 5th to 6th place in $ terms. I think the world is telling us something but we struggle to hear!

I know loads of Brits who have no pride in our country.Some of them are in high places and sold British industry,nothing left apart from metal bashing,something to be proud of.Its amazing what you can do when you hide behind the Union Jack and say its right !

That would be funny if the youth of tomorrow took us back into the EU.First condition of joining would be to adopt the € as our currency-best laugh ever

Utricky-when you travelled around Europe was it just after WW2,bet they still had rationing .I get out there quite a bit while the £ is still at these dizzy heights of 1.08 euro's and haven't witnessed packs of dogs eating babies.We did have an old Sherman tank on the outskirts of Roscoff,France but even that has disappeared now.

Lovely spike today guess someone must have made a killing.Did look at lrd in the summer when the boss decided to go to Cob at the end of the year.That took 27days before the shares recovered so this last debacle started on the 19th of oct so at least another 12 days of this.Best to put lrd on the back burner for a while

Poor old bears fink they are having a bit of a torrid day.could be more to do with outside source's ie 3 old appeal court judge's,oh well were ever its coming from its good

Well its finally arrived,whatever happens should be an interesting day.The bears throwed another 500,000 shares after hours to tip it in the right direction for tomorrow.Starting to wonder where all this selling pressure is coming from ?.The clever shorters must have sold at say 160p or better still when it was up in the 300's, to be messing about in the 130's must be getting a bit risky.Whatever way it goes tomorrow it should be exciting.Happy with the income but prehaps i'm due a fall !

£500m was a worse scenario,but it depends on your personal position.20% premium to todays prices sounds ok to me.Having said that i cannot see anyone dropping an offer round any time soon.Most companies review their strategy's at the turn of the year so patience is required.If you feel the £ is going to recover to $1.40,that lrd are in the wrong market,that the £260m of debt is too high even though 80% of it doesn't mature till 2019 and the interest payments are covered 8 times then lrd isn't for you.

think there has been a bit of a mis-understanding,when Amphenol were rumoured last Jan figs in the region of £1.2b were mentioned this was at a $1.40 in $ terms this is 13% cheaper now at a fx of $1.22 is this real enough!

10% divi seems far too optimistic for me think divi will be halved saving laird £10m ish but 5% isn't bad,thats if you believe lrd will survive.To think this time last year they were subject to takeover rumours and a price of £1billion(£-$ fx rate 1.40) was cited think we would all be happy with £500m now at £-$1.22

think the bears have got their way,the price is now falling due to disgruntled exsisting share holders,yesterday and so far today there has actually been more sells than buys so the price is acting normally.Bit of a decision day as to whether you want income or not.Without the divi we are now down to 137p which is only 5p off this illusional 132p which is meant to be the bottom?

just about into the high 130's now if you take into consideration the divi.going to keep my powder dry as long as possible but the temptation is getting extreme.would love to see a takeover rumour and the bears getting their fingers burnt!

Hi new to this game,but have noticed on most days buys exceed sells and in a normal market you would think the price would rise,so i am assuming this situation is created by short sellers and not the market in general.The thing is at what price do the shorts feel its a risk to carry on with their exercise,the risks must be getting high now when compared to the profit they could take?
