Ianjan- think it is called the samaritans.

Heggy, if next acquire Sdry in the way they acquired Joules , i.e doing a deal with the founder we will get nowt, Lost about 10k there thinking Tom Joule with his millions would ensure investors go a payment for their shares. We were shafted.

Just had a top up. Bloomberg are banging on about the woes at Nike and lululemon in USA . The read across is not exact because both of those have brand specific issues and we should be better off.

1msn, we need to know if sms is happy to sell up and retire.

Toffers, our PM is so ambitious he would throw this company under a bus to win the next election and will not want to be seen to feathering his own comfortable nest. Fortunately all his holdings are in a blind trust so hopefully he won't have to - but I don't trust him!

Psk, only a statistician could say there was a fall in fuel sales and overlook the fact that we have had an exceptionally warm winter - as evidenced by the last update here. Next week should calm investors nerves imv.

At some point later this year when interest rates nudge down these 'income' stocks will nudge up on account of their competive yield. Return here could be close to 20% this year imv.

I think this is huge news.

Panama if ubs was looking for £4bn cash over 3 years and the company is targetting 4.4bn that exceeds expectations which hopefully they will reward with an upgrade.

RBS today - great news sp up imv.

Great results and divi up so sp should rise imv. The one fly in the ointment for me is the ambiguity of ' sustainable and progressive dividends' , does this mean cut, increase or steady? Looking at cash flows the divi is only 30% ish so could mean increase above the already generous 10% yield. Sp could double and still offer competitive returns!

2000 not 200

Raj, for shares outside an isa or sipp you willowe cgt on gains above £6k. Therefore , assuming profit of about £3 on each share I would sell 200 shares before 5 April. I would invest the proceeds in either Lgen or MSI but dyor. Good luck.

Psk yes my mistake . Bloomberg reported that Nike beat analysts expectations and they are slightly up after hours. Lululemon are dwon 10% after poor results - but they are slightly niche imv.

Nike results - everything seems to be up around 3% but margin up 150% - so bodes well for JD imv considering the doom and gloom in the sp.

WE also have lululemon reporting in usa tonight so fingers crossed for them and Nike !

I feel sorry for all investors here with the exception of the directors in this company who participated in the deceitful acquisition of Flybe about 4 years ago. I hope they lose their shirts!

Sand, if the pog rises more than the costs of mining and processing the additional profit will surely be reflected in the price of all mines and miners shares. So a double edged sword atm here imv.

PSK - good read across from nxt results - will we remain more profitable than them? Find out soon!

The great advantage of buying rr shares at privatisation is that they are in paper form and selling them requires significant effort - they therefore remain a hold for me lol.
