Last year 3rd March. Have the steps taken to reduce the charges to intermediaries affected positively full year earnings? If yes, could be 20_30% upside on sp., with perhaps a 10% downside if not. Worth a punt for a quick gain methinks! Korg, was that your 30000 buy this am. I would like to have seen some ìnsider` buys if results are going to be v positive. GL all

I can only assume the market does not believe the preliminary results as recently published. With a final divi of nearly 15% declared at todays sp, it does look a bit of a steal. For my part, the co has paid out well over $100m in divisover past 2 years, so obviously has the cash. Recently announced new territories of Israel, NZ ans SA will be revenue and profit enhancing. The red flag is the FCA proposals due end this year, however the co states that majority of profit is generated by the spread and therefore ouside of anything the FCA can do. What`s not to like? I have mentioned this before on this BB, probably, this time last year, that if you have a long CFD on PLUS, the divi is paid without any deduction of tax, and is paid on EX divi date, not pay date. boomm boom. BTW, the shorts on PLUS will have to pay the divi, so I would expect the 2 shorters at present to be redicing their positins in the next few weeks..

With the departure of th new CEO, presumably dismissed, it does raise a red flag against JG`s ability in both attracting the `best`in the market, and then identifying their skill sets. Buyers for the company will not be rushing to make a bid `til they see the damage report. Even so, at 12p, it does appear to be overdone, and a risk worth taking. The final divi. is probably gone, but a chance to av, down, and put away for a year or two. Hope you dont need the pension soon MrBB, and hopefully back to normal in 12-18 months. GL all

It`s water intelligence WATR.

in right direction - Vadri. With the exception of the share price. Intelligent water is a much better company, with a BOD who knows what it is doing.

Still standing MrBB, albeit, only on one leg. I was looking for a lot more from our acquisitions than they gave, and was even more disappointed with their performance when taking into account the many and varied take-up of personnel in the year. However, will buy if sp hits 18.5p to buy. GL.

Healthy, Happy and Prosperous 2017 to all investors Reduced my shareholding substantially on CRU over mixed messages. My 25 p sp prediction sadly way off mark. Have lost interest in 7%+ divis since frankly too old, and have shares that can better that in sp growth in a few months.. However if I can see 25p being attainable will return to stronger holding.

I believe the MM`s are walking this share down ( or even running)!! Today Plus announced a sponsorship deal with an Ozzy rugby team, at a cost less expensive than the more high profile Atletico Madrid, but a cost non the less. Would it do this if it thought margins were going to be heavily affected by recent news - I doubt it. We have some time to wait before next divi announcement, but must be a buy at these levels. If divi maintained, then happy days

For anyone interested in chartology, the 14 DMA is about to cross the 50DMA., and heralds an upturn in sp. Well hurrah for that. I hope KORG is right with his 20p target, but v much doubt it. GL all

depends on how one sees 3 things: POO, rapidity of vehicle market to embrace electric vehicle, and RDS`, objectives. POO is dependent on excesses or shortfalls in market. I am convinced a MMbpd cut is irrelevent and will soon shown to be so. VW`s fray into the market is interesting, since it will have depleted it`s huge cash coffers with paying fines for being greedy, I say greedy, because why didn`t it invest, and spend the money in making engines do what it says on the tin. Greed. I think it will now mnfr an EV which will be affordable to the majority of households who will spend 15K on a car, not 30K This could be here in 2 years, and by 2020 have a significant affect on fuel consumption to the extent of MM`s bpd, and naturally, the USA will still be pumping and dumping. Finally, If RDS cannot, imo, continue to pay the present divi, and when it cuts, sp will tank(ish). All good reasons to be short for the long term . I am sure there will be opposite opinions. But, you pays yr money you takes yr pick.

A little unfortunate for dropin monkey to say Inst. FM`s can`t buy this share when the co announced today JP Morgan now own 9% of stock with 10M shares. I am unsure if JPM bought shares in the 15M share placement announced weeks ago by the founders. And of course, if, JPM purchased all of 10m shares in that placement, then other FM`s still purchased 5m shares. On another point raised by d-i-m, longevity is not good for it`s peer members, At 31/2 years, with sustainable divis, cash pot, and a friendly Platform to work from, what`s not to like. Of course, it could be a well orchestrated scam, but you pays yr money, you takes your pick. Time will out. GL

There has been a 5:1 sub-division of the shares as per rns of 1 Nov. The BOD`s was concerned that at 15 pound a pop, the price was off putting to some potential share holders.!!

shorts still here. You must be v old and with some form of dementure, or maybe in 50`s, with same condition. I will remind you again - this is for the long haul, as any investment should be, chortle

The founders sold about half their holding a month ago, which was a red flag, and the sp dropped over a pound on the day. A rns raised a few more red flags with earnings per customer, and other fundamentals which some investors see as a likely profit warning. I, for one, do not share this pessimism, and have added a few more. Naturally, when the divi is due the truth will be out on profitabilty and cash reserves.

Oooops, up >7% on c 7000 buys. They have to be kidding.. lol Yes , it`s defo find an entry point, and leave the shares for 2-3 years., or until you see a bead m/c in your local Argos.

I think the sp at this level is trong considering the timescales involved. The commercial laundry business is looking at 31/2 years ahead to have 2000 m/c installed. Presently 278, so lets say an additional 400, for 2017, 600, 18, 800, 19.. I would suggest the figure of 2000m/c is about break even. The OEM looking at domestic m/c again appears to be a long term project, but why. Either the beads do or don`t save significant water, and have beneficial affects or not on clothes quality. I would have thought this was a months review and not years. This is disruptive tech if proven up, with significant upside to sp. I would think in Eu and USA, 90% of housholds have a washiing m/c. Tannery is again looking at end of 2018 for sucessful scale trials. A rns may come out of the blue re: OEM trials, ans sp soars, however, I shall refrain from investing, and look again in 3 months. GL to all holders.

Just a quick question for you Benjie; How much more do you think, the Saudis` hate Trump than the Iranians.? If I may, I will suggest to you that if OPEC cuts production inorder to` skyrocket prices`, Iran will be increasing production ( Saudis will love that), to compensate for the $B`s lost as a result of Trump reversing the deal on Pu production .Can Saudi unilaterally decrease World output to significantly increase POO? It can give it a very good go, but I woud suggest Venez, Russia, Nigeria would love to increase their output to aid falling coffers, esp, Venez., and of course you said USA wouls increase output.

I would agree, one buyer, and hopefully, `` Chinese Whispers``, literally. I`m a big fan of these ùnexpected events`, and hopefully someone has heard something. It`s only 25K GBP, but not to be sniffed at. We will soon find out.

Still here misca. Since you are fairly new to investing, I`ll let you into a few secrets. My short in RDS is recent, and as explained before, I can easily get out before divis are paid. If one is long or short, the account is credited or debited on the ex-divi date, not the payment date. Investing, either long or short, is a patience thing, and as explained before, my short in RDS is for years period, not weeks. Although I am not a fan of T Winnifrith at Sh***proph***, I did enter a long and a short ( which I actually hold) in a competition at start of year. My long was SOU, up 400%, and my short was GKP, down 95%. Easily checked by going to their website. substitute *** and *** with are and ets. loadsa money made. chuckle.

Ahh. I see the light. You mean it should be offering spreadbetting and isas`. I believe punters see less harm to their wallet in having long or short CFDs`. FX spreadbetting is for semi-pros only. I am not sure if one can transfer a cash ISA to a CFD A/C. Probably not.
