KPA, apparantly the earth 's core is causing increased volcanic and earthquake activity . Evidence that it is a contributor is that the oceans have warmed more at lower levels and the antartic sea ice has thinned near a fault line but increased away from the fault line. Problem we have is that only a few scientists want to deviate from the narrative that it is all down to carbon dioxide. I am no expert btw.
The results looked pretty good to me it is just that it is tarred with the oil and gas brush even though much of the business is in other sectors. Frankly I think there would be huge value creation by splitting the group up and getting a premium for the non oil and gas parts but I have seen nothing on that front . Lets hope for a bid and that the scientists start to realise that the extra activity in the earths core is causing most of the sea temperature rise .
Results not great imv , when compared with Flutter BUT the strategy looks compelling and if the market buy into the optimism we could get a decent rise here , more so than with fltr which has growth priced in to some degree. [ I hold both 888 and fltr]. We shall see.
Further up today on great numbers and move to new york imv.
Porsche, i doubt this will fall much bevause insurance premiums are rising significantly everywhere - profitability returns even with poor management.
Gary, ref low mcap - they are growing faster than next, generate higher profits and have mapped out global expansion but are rated much lower - why? Next manage the news very well and our ceo is a beginner, unfortunately.
Mary, are they your insurers for stock market losses?
Investor , I have completed a few cgt returns in my time. First thing to remember is the tax year ends on 5 april , so gains and losses up to that date are set off against one another. So work it out and if you sell enougfh to ensure you end up with a £6k net gain nothing will be payable. Kepp records of all sales so that you can fill in the form after year end. Ask HMRC for they form after 5 april and they will send you one. Quite straightforward really .Good Luck .
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.
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.
