Easyp, I have for a while now been convinced that BHP have lost interest in us and happy to just leave their holding as a token something that may one day one day pay pocket money. Originally they were very interested but have been put off by the messy diverse holding created by , I think, NM. I hope I am wrong and you are right.

"The broker cut its price target to 250p from 350p and lowered its rating to ‘add’ from ‘buy."
i have never understood this . To add you have to buy and if they are asking existing holders to add then they must be expecting price to go above average after add . Surely that means new buyer could also gain. Oh I give up back to my glass of whisky.

"Lol Red who knows
And just to rub BHP’s noses in it Nick could be back as CEO "

Talk about looking after your own. Come on BHP make a hostile bid and sake the lot of them

Josepi, I ma not an expert but I think he can sell his hares to anyone he likes. However, if as a result the major's holding reaches target at which bid is triggered then they have to offer to buy our shares at the same price

1981investor, I couldn't agree more with you. Now that Mr Cadwell has also been able to buy 1m. shares at knock down price he needs salary for many more years to pay for it! I think that means the directors have already decided the outcome of strategic review - ie steady as she goes for many more years. Of course you could argue that a bid would also pay for it but I somehow feel turkeys will not vote for Xmas. Hope I am wrong.

Thanks Redknight1. I hope you are right

redknight1, I am worried though . Your and others view about sale is not shared by the market as even today the price has dropped when there is a sea of blue on my watchlist.

My guess of the length of the string is- 6.5% of the company sold at a low price, the share price still lingering around 16 -17 makes me think there are no buyers dying to buy. The directors have made up their minds as to the direction of travel which is to go to production. I have stopped dreaming of riches and instead praying that at some stage I would be able to get out with a modest loss.

Cash-My-Giro, They have just sold 6% at 17p. so I can see them tempted at 50p.!!. The only thing that may prevent them is redundancy. It is better to sale chunks at knock down price and enjoy a decade of employment and share options.

The company is in the middle of strategic review so why give away 6.3% of the company in the meantime at a knockdown price before the review is conducted. There may be some sense in the action if the price offered was irresistible. They have given 6.3% of the company at under 17pence when Cascabel alone is worth hell of a lot more than poultry 17p. It may be that the company is in dire need of cash but then there must be cheaper ways of raising bridging finance till the review is completed, after all we have tier1 assets.
There is some talk on the board that this has been done to entice BHP to bid. What a price to cut one’s own nose to spite the face. In any case - BHP have got their slice at much higher price than Jiangxi, why should Jiangxi be in any more hurry to bid than BHP. IMHO all it has done is introduce yet another player to make takeover difficult – May that is the answer BOD is looking for in strategic review

Well to production then or BHP to get it at 30p. Do you think one might be better off to take a hefty loss on solg and buy BHP?

Rayboy Don't worry they will consolidate again so as to continue robbing PIs. BTW Shouldn't the advisors who recommended last consolidation now fired

Bozi 40p. bring it on "I am a bad investor. get me out". I think the company needs a Rishi Sunak to bring stability and credibility.

Lost will to live on seeing over 2k. of messages with no apparent reason for the excitement

Thanks, Jabberba for researching the reason

all the excitement on here and the share price drops over 2 %. Does the market know something we don't ?

"He might as well have just sent a recording of his last presentation and saved the travel mone"

Ah but then he would not have been able to enjoy onboard hospitality. It also passes the time of the day when you can't think of anything better to do.

sub-18. It hurts
