I received on 24 March 41.5p per share.

Having seen that JP Morgan have 71/2% of the shares and Odey have 11% plus 14% on a long CFD, there is no way any part of PLUS is a 'boiler room' scam. I trade PLUS on a long CFD, which I have done before the 'regulation' crisis, and am sitting on v.g. profits. For a reason unknown to me, I get the divi paid ( through my CFD broker, IG) on the ex-divi date. I have already received the FY15 and special divi, paid into my a/c today, when the rns stated payment date was May? I received the interim divi on 7 Jan, when payment date was 29 Feb?. I will be buying more at this sp. All IMHO of course.

Justdeezerts - No, i don't agree a rns would give it more credence, although plus has not been mentioned by name, the fact that the sp has seen a 15% drop in 2 days suggests guilt by inference. A rns simply stating that the co has not been involved in this kind of operation would suffice. I am not based in Uk, and am not able to access plus web site. Would anyone send a mail to plus to investor relations, and ask for clarification on this article. It would be appreciated. Good luck all

Whether Plus is involved or not, what is a troubling to me is the lack of an rns from PLUS. The shares are down 15% in 2 days on a rumour that it may be involved in highly dubious selling activities. The co is obviously highly cash generative as witnessed by the cash divi payments.. As far as AIM regulation, or indeed the FCA, thesse bodies are tantamount to useless if one is looking at corruption in AIM cos - just look at the number of companies de-listed who were scams for many years, and even when the regulators were informed of individual cos., regulators did nothing. This is crunch time - if you believe the co is legitimate, the sp now is a license to print money. The worst case scenario is that it has a 'smallish' part of the business acting 'outside of it's mandate'. it will not cause the collapse of the business, although the sp may continue to suffer short term. I am minded to believe that PLUS is not involved in this 'scam', and indeed have increased my holding at this genorour discount. All IMHO of course

I think special divis are not included in divi yield, since they can be misleading when looking at yoy figures. Co is committed to paying an aggressive 60% of profits in divis, so all waiting for !st 1/4 figures in April to see if growth rate continues. Organic growth may be limited, so interesting to see if co is in an acquisition mode. BTW Plenty of exposure for PLUS worldwide with the name on the front of Atletico Madrid shirts., and big exposure again since AM have been drawn against Barcelona in last 8 of Eu Champions Cup. No reason why the sp cant breach £7 again. GL all

V disappointing - A BOD with no confidence in it's own abilities. Shame on them.

Excellent. With the interim div due to paid on 29/02, Final and Special on 11/05, making a total of c51p, what is not to like. V happy with the management changes, with Gil looking to expand business ( USA, LA), New people in Regs and Compliance Depts - all bodes v well for the future. Some healthy profit taking at close to 550p early on, but I suspect sp will creep back up to this level fairly soon, and If another v positive 1/2 year statement, the no reason why sp will be £7 with committed 60% payout in divis. Both PTEC ( MCap £2.4B) & IG, ( MCap £2.7B) have P/E of c 20, cf to PlUS of <10, and both pay less in divis, and both trade N of £7. Happy to add at these prices. GL all who held the faith.

FYI O sold short this am ar 588, made £500+ for a sell and buy in a couple of days. Used that £500 to buy long £10K BT. shares. When it works, it works very well, but not for the faint hearted or people not knowing how to trade in leveraged positions. GL

Long term shorts are for dog shares, RR is def not one of these. In these volatile times, and uncertainty in the near term profitability may present an opportunity to short and make a few pounds on a slide in price when some may see an unfounded large hike on a daily basis. If the sp does slide back to mid 550's, I will be v happy, and long termers have no fear since in 5 years it will hopefully be a £15 share, and along the way I would be going long. Isn't it nice, with a quality FTSE100 co that a pi can make money when price drops ans also rises. Naturally, it is v v risky, and if RR submit rns Monday with fab news on orders plans, then my short may be v v expensive.

shortly after my post sp dropped by 1p. Did a dummy buy for 20000 shares, guess what, quoted 22.64 against the 22.11 I bought at when ask was 24p. It can def. pay to do dummy transaction on all thinly traded shares. Feeling v satisfied with deal, Wait for results and see if we can hit 26p. GLA

The 70% drop(when poo was £28pb) in aviation fuel far outweighs the 10-15 % efficiency in aero -engine consumption. On your, and others basis, then poo at $200 pb would be good. Alas, when customers again have to pay a £50 fuel surcharge, then fewer customers fly, fewer aircraft sold etc, etc Look at passenger nos in these 'downturn. uncertain times' to see reality. Roll on the day when poo is $20 pb. If anybody is at all interested I can give a convincing argument why poo should be $20pb or even a lot less.. Good luck to my short.

rise. results as good as could be expected in view of previous warnings, nut rev still includes highly profitable 700 engines which are being phased out along with others, and being replaced by, I quote ' less margin. higher cost engines'. Boeing is to face SEC regulators over Dreamliner accounting, so the big 2 both have issues, and I fear a fight is on it's way. Yes, the order book is good, but I want to see trading for the next 12 months before I buy back in. I shorted today. BTW Can anybody explain to me why some posters here think an increase in poo is good for RR, and indeed any company except O&G and related companies.?

a dummy buy would go through. 20K shares at 22,11, or 1.89p below ask. Had to buy at that price. Did a dummy sell, and sell price was 22p, spread of 5% which for a thinly traded share is v g. If MM's had dropped the sell sp I would have thought they did not want to encourage selling, but keeping at 22p, it appears they want to encourage selling, and to buy at 22.11, also to encourage buying. I must admit ( again) to be rather confused by MM's activities, unless the MM used by my broker (TDW) has a big seller.

a set of cracking results, and with all the market volatility, it would be insane to bet against it. My one proviso though, and it all depends on how the bod play it, is the previous rns statements that profit is unlikely to match ye 15. I was left guessing at a 5,10, 20, 30% shortfall. Unlikely to me says it will be 10% and not 30%. The former shortfall will justify it 's£4.70sp, the latter will see it tank. However, It would not surprise to me, based on past rns's that the '15 profit figure may well have been exceeded and another good divi to be paid, in which case £6 is on cards. I don't have the necessary 'all or nothing' mentality', and with a fairly large S/H here, have today sold 50%, to account for either scenario. I know I will regret it. lol.

Yes, it's odd, several £million buys, and the sp is down .2.44% or 12p. Wonder why?

algo traders, all in line with market sentiment of the banking industry. However, we all know that VM has no investment banking division, save for the lending facility to SME's, and has no toxic debt holdings in Greek, Spanish, Italian, French banks. It is on track to meet it's stated objectives, and will be close to £4 sp when results announced. Another buying opportunity for a class stock. As far as I am concerned, BARC, HSBC RBS can go down the pan, and they probably deserve to. All in MHO

buying opportunity. When synergies realised, and divi re-instated, a solid £6.20 share price. IMHOC

Yes, by lukehere, 2 below. If it does what it says on the tin, then gravytrain is coming.

Just take a look at Naibu and Camkids - Ohhh, you can't now because they have been de-listed. Both of them with enormous 'cash in the bank' amounts, in the case of CAMK, over £40M. It's all lies, and only a matter of time before you find out it's a swindle. In my HO of course
