This is yr post of 6 nov 11.11am Plus needs to widen its product portfolio. Spreadbetting and isa's are no brainers. Without it, this is going to continue to drift down`` This is yr post from 30 Oct All of their biz is CFD's, customers can't spreadbet with plus - you've misunderstood my post. Confusing to say the least. Maybe it`s another misunderstanding;

Will the last person to leave the building please turn the lights out. This co is now only of benefit to debt providers and for salaries and pension fund `top ups` for BOD. End of

The vast majority of my shares are long, ie: I see value. I look at the postes from employees, and am thinkinking what BvB has s As a starter for debate, or ridiculeaid! re; RDS. FGS I`m a Brit, but In MHO this is heading for a tenner in a few years, for reasons already explained I am short, and IMHO when the likes of Tesla and Hyundai who are mfg cars well above what the average guy/woman will pay for an E car will see the light ( Jake, I can see the light - Blues Bros - def, worth seeing), The future is Electrifc cars, either battery or preferably, H2O. The exhausta from IC vehicles is killing millions beside accelererating CO2 pollution. Good healt and profit to all,

And a q for you. When do you think the divi is paid into the accounts, or taken out if short. ?

Yes, intelligent reposte, thank you. One can always close the short at divi dates and sell back in since spread is small. I do not envisage RDS paying out $3B a 1/4 for much longer. Yes, downstream is good, and of course they like gas at the moment with the acquisition of BG. OPEC is a shambles, and POO might, I say might be below $40pb within 12 months. Goodbye 6% divi. I believe the introduction of family affordable electric cars, I hope H2 FC, will be quicker than pundits state, and this will have a significant affect on POO. This will also bring down price of gas, since no matter how green we think we are, if POO falls it will compete with gas. Of course SP may go up, and when it reaches an `acceptable`loss, I`ll close. It aint going to shoot up 20% in a session like AIM stocks, but it may drop10-15% on a rns saying the divi is being slashed. BvB predictions on cash flow, profitabilty etc are based on $60pb POO. I don`t think this will happen, indeed the contrary. But, the two ignorant Tw**s who think I should burn for shorting only have to remember that if the fundamentals remain good, the divi is paid, the POO stays about $50pb they have little to fear with my short. The idiots.

I am short on RDS. Hoe do I do it? I have an a/c with IG and am long on several shares, to include a huge success to date SOU. The platform is relatively easy to work. If you want to go long, you access the share you want, enter the quantity of shares you want to buy, it will now tell you the margin you have to pay, for SOU, being an AIM share , it`s 25%. When I go short, I access RDS, enter the quantity of shares I want to deal in, and press sell. It will give you the margin, and in the case of RDS being FTSE100, it`s 5%. So for 5K GBP I can short c 5000 RDS shares. Now, to short, the charges are quiet high. There is overnight interest - variable depending on provider used, then a charge to borrow the shares, again variable. If the shorting share falls >c6% pa , u r in the money. I expect RDS to be a tenner in 5 years. All IMHO of course, and DYOR

reading) I have received a reply from JG re` ``"During the year the Company commenced supply of on-line distribution products and also acquired new customers from the purchase of injection and blow moulding plant. Unfortunately the revenue contribution from these was offset by its major customer of subcontracted products reducing demand by moving its manufacture in-house.`` JG denied knowledge of this in the accounts???, and said that the co, was progressing well, and that the trading statement made, stands. Confused. I am. I looked thru the link CS gave for FY A/cs, pdf format, 29 pages, and could not find the passage CS said was there. Maybe I misunderstood. In any case, I shall be buying back the shares I sold. GL

IF, as Vig suggests, the sp drifts down to 4.50, and PLUS is paying 60p divi, there will be a lot of happy investors, inc. me. I fail to see why betting is seen as that important, when I believe most of the business is in CFD`s, where it takes commission and overnight interest charges. My overnight interest on a 50K marging is c16GBP or c 5.5K GBP pa. I don`t know if that qualifies me as a `high value`customer or not, but it aint chicken feed money. I`m fairly happy with the business model, and results and divi will tell all. Patience is the key.

If it is Nieman ( must be), then I agree MrBB, it would probably have known it`s main customer was going to in-house, and hence sell the business. I am sure , if this was not disclosed to CRU at time of contract signing, there is a legal case against Nieman for non-disclosure. However, proving that would be improbable. What we are unaware of is the scale of the loss, and in light of the number of staff recruited over the past 6 months, production, supervisory and senior management, I was led to believe everything was going swimmingly. The big question is, will it maintain divi?, if so, I can live with this. As of today, have not received a reply from CRU re; my mail of tòther day. Still disappointed, and doubly so with the exit of CySid.

major customer of one of the newly purchased businesses was to manufacture in-house. Yes, CS, this should have been the subject of an rns, since it is going to impact on profitability. I suppose there is an argument from the companies point of view, that since the news is in the public domain, no need for an rns. In any case, I have mailed the company for an explanation, and halved my share holding - disappointed.

What's the problem with the founders cashing in half of their holdings. Their age is immaterial, and after a meeting, decided they wanted to buy a yacht or two, a house or two, whatever When u r dead u can't spend it Now, if the 'doomsters" can provide evidence that they are already billionaires, have yachts and houses aplenty, don't need the cash either for them or their heirs, I also will sell out.

The drop in revenue in Q3 is easily explained, imo, by the results being reported in USD, and 75% of the income being generated in W Eu, with 20% of that in GBP. GBP is 20% down v USD ans Eu is also down. Now, if these figures result in a reduction of final divi, then fall in sp is justified, and the comments of the `doomsters`will be vindicated. Will find out in 3 months. I will top up, again. GL all

was BOD cannot quantify headwind caused by loss of major contracts, and are trying to remediate postion, but expect a strong second half to bring profitability in line with expectations. Really!. People who bought yesterday on the basis of a it being oversold, already are 6% down. The proverbial falling knife. This is not going back to Wednesdays`level is one trading session, and so I shall wait for +ve news before I return to this `good`share. Luckily, sold out a few months ago to invest in a.n. other.

Slowly, the best way, recovering to 7+. Oversold in the market when owners divested some shares. Maybe 6.50 was a litle too low, but these same guys were selling for 4 not too long ago, and maybe the price would have slumped even further if they had sold on the open market.!. The fundamentals still look good, and I fully expect another very decent divi on YE results. With the amount of cash generated, and in bank, and with a relatively low P:E. looks a very solid investment for divis and growth.

Your 20p+ sp prediction is now looking somewhat `problematic`. With you going short on SOU, your portfolio must be in one hell of a mess.

my hypothesis that the large buy t'other day was an 'insider' deal was way off the mark. Looking at the highlights for the 1/2 year in today's rns, I would think the BOD's is passing the 'hari-kari' sword around the table. Lets hope it does it the correct way from L-R.

14p would be at the very top of my best guestimate, but, I'll take it. A poster recently said he'd asked the co when the results would be out, and was told within 2 weeks, that was 3 weeks ago. It's a financial model that SAGE could print out the results in a few hours. There can't be any 'headwind' news, so are greedy PDMR's thinking how they can screw even more money from our company.

I hold here, and I've just read, and replied, to your post on SOU. You are an idiot. I'm expecting decent results here, and will amazed if we spike +20%, as for 20p, you are an idiot, and I'm being kind. Korg, do not approach buy button, keep well clear, take advise from elders, and remember, your wealth is at stake.

However, IG trade FTSE overnight and did so before PLUS I believe

250K at 6p - looks like a Chinese whisper insider trade - hopefully.
