Member Info for Thedetector

I spy with a little eye. Just noticed your mini rant. Have a go at the icy fish brain cos he's rampimg failing TRX all day, probably be the TRX ramper all next week too.

He will probably refer to you as an envious clown with an emoji and be right on a very rare occasion. Will get back later to give more info as busy right now as out with family and friends.

Could be , just could be the best in the whole wide world.

Wifey defo thinks so.

She is at the bar collecting the Ice cold Carlsbergs .

Laters littleeye.

Seems I hit a truth nerve here. A win for me.

Just great.

No more now Lucynotsolucky. You lose.

Just a bit of advice.Before posting realise that someone smart will check back posts before a reply.

Going out now.Wifey is almost ready.She looks great as usual, crikes ,she's clever too ,she is wearing the black pin striped suit I bought her , means she is after something,soon find out.Hope it is a holiday because we the lads deserve one.

The detector.

Am I the best.

Wifey certainly thinks so.

Lucynotsolucky,

Seems I am doing much,much better than you right now and have wiser investments.You are a loser,you indicated in your post of October 25th that you bailed out of WG losing a chunk and hope , hope that is that you can get in front with your total losses by end of year.

You are not really suited to this type of investment at all, you are currently invested in low sector stock I see probably without helpful dividends.There are currently lots of savings accounts delivering excellent return which your losing gambles are missing out on.

You need a change of strategy. Hope is akin to a spin of a gamble wheel in a losers room. You have to be certain of your investments as I am.If one is not certain of an investment then utilise another.

You also allude to large numbers when describing your gamble on the Wood Board which indicates you lost big here and losing overall big too. You are underwater ,how deep only you know.

I wish you the best of course and we will of course agree to disagree . Of course time will always and does reveal truths.As someone's truth and opinion will be revealed here.

Probably the best investor in the world.

Far better than Notsoluckyluca for sure.

Luca your comment is not an intelligent one .You have initiated your level of intelligence as low and not having a good level of investor awareness.

My BP investment is currently proving to be an excellent addition to my portfolio , currently in healthy profit.

There has been lots of positive reports on BP recently and been a superior investment than an alternative as Wood Group where you are currently.

You have no idea of my awareness of association with any businesses. Your reference to you being nearer and in on BP is lame.

To add, There is a good chance that BP will be approached by a suitor in 2026 is high in my opinion.Any sniff of a bid for BP or indeed ITV will really boost my portfolio value.

Best of luck here ,get a win of some sort.All deserve one here.

Thedetector.

Just maybe the best in the world and Luca too.

Ok Romanby.

Best of luck here.I am out of WG at the moment.I did not buy in at the re start .My reason was that after the hectic opening and sp settled it was showing an obvious weakness.

I took an option with using available cash to double up on my BP holding thinking it a wiser move.I have a target of an easily achievable 500p target sp and will collect good dividends until target reached.

I also have added ITV to my portfolio on Friday with a 110p target price, ITV is currently on radar as a potential takeover target from a number of suitors.Also will draw excellent divi payment until SP target reached.

The best of luck to all holders here and hope to get a win here as a win will be well deserved.

Am I the best.

Most probably.

If reform get in they will have to deal with a bust Britain and deal with what's left of north sea fiasco. My bet is a hung parliament and nothing gets done to help us.

Too much damage by these idiots.

I am losing faith in reform , they are flipping on their policy promises. They are all intent on rigging the system against us. They don't want us to be able to afford to retire . Reform would continue this trend. They are laying their case to blame all before them even now.

Hi Romanby,

Have you any connections at Romanby. My father says he played at a golf course around that area, nice summers day, enjoyed the visit.

Regards.

Depends what's maybe hiding in the basement.Maybe riddled with woodworm now.

They have had a look in the Wood Group basement and did not like the view, found dodgy foundations.

The current share price at the moment is around 33% discount.

Endeth the lesson Icey the goldfish.

Thedetector.

Probably the best in the world.

Truly dumb icey,

20 + 50% = 30 is a possible positive upside not a discount.

You stated sitting at a 50% discount.

50% discount of 30 is 15.

You are wrong Icey .

The detector .

Probably the best.

Miles better than the goldfish brain.

Icey post @ 10.35pm.

50% x 30 = 15p.

Wrong again Icey.

Lots of companies with high levels have sensibly reduced or even cancelled dividend payments to bolster company cash to pay down on debt.

BP is an example of this due to past divi decisions due to Deep Horizon leak catastrophe and market meltdown.

On these past experiences I made an excellent profit as others did on BP sp collapse. Far more than any divi payments during recovery of sp levels.

The sensible move is to alter divi structure to get debt levels down.

We must agree to disagree.

I'm in with an SP target of 500p.

Regards.

A shareholder no vote will give Sidara a get out of jail card to pull the offer .I assume a yes vote is one of the conditions of the deal.

Thedetector.

Well the dust has settled, as I indicated in an earlier post ' I'm gonna shoot from the hip on this one' I decided not to draw my gun at all and kept my .45 buying gun in its holster.

The cash in hand I had waiting in the event I decided to buy into Wood Group has been invested instead in doubling up on my BP holding.

I have an entry point of just under 400p with my first tranche of BP with an earlier purchase and just now doubled my holding.

I have a 500p target price on BP which I think is easily achievable, I will collect good dividend payout until target sp is reached.

My reckoning is that to go with BP is a wiser move.

Best of luck to all brave holders here. Hope it works out for you to get a win here,a deserved win.

Thedetector.

Am I the best in the world .

Probably,yes.

Wifey agrees,she's bring the coffees upstairs.

Be careful, it could be a scam, a type of phishing scam.

Iain Torrens 31st October.

Shareholder approval of the transaction ( Sid bid) , will enable the extension of our debt facilities to 2028 to become effective.

Seems a no vote might well scupper any debt agreements.

No vote to Sid appears rather risky.

A little advice, if you are buying or selling on opening be very careful as there could be a huge spread on the share price until it settles down. The share price spread is the difference between the buy and sell price. This can occur when a share comes out of suspension when there is a huge scramble to open and close positions. Re check your sp price to ensure it is the price you want before execution, a mistake here might be costly.

Have an early coffee and be ready.

Regards

Thedetector.

Just probably the best in the world.

Wifey certajnly thinks so cos she is hinting at an early night.

Denby , pip payments are not means tested. Millionaires claim it.

Regards.

I am almost sure that shareholders did not get a vote on the 2020 divi cut , nor even of the emergency cancellation of divi due to Horizon leak around 2010.

These moves on the divi were board only decision I believe , did not go to a shareholder vote .

Just wondering how current shareholders would vote if the board did indeed tender a shareholder divi option vote.

Shorter term cancellation.

Temporary longer term reduction.

Rejection of any cut.

Regards.

Yes maybe,

But in the scenario that the board came up with a long term financial stability programme of divi alteration.

Which way would one vote.

Regards.
