An DO is a Rights Issue. All this means is that they would offer additional shares to a holder at a set price to raise additional funds for the company. This can be for any umber of reasons, such as reducing debt, to purchase vital new expensive equipment, or to expand the business. This does in the short term often depreciate the share price, but med to long term this levels itself out. Normally they offer these additional shares based on your current holding, for example you could be offered to buy 3 shares per 10 holding. You do not however have an obligation to take up the offer.

Hope this helps.

I've been in SGC on and off for quite some time myself, trading the swings and bagging a few freebies along the way to be fair, but that said, I do have a soft spot for this one. I have for a number of years since I used the East Midlands trains to get to and from work. The train crew were always very pleasant with me.

I'm in. RNS released on 28/10/20 @ 15:00: re JV.
Est SP close - 62p.

@ Barchid.

Yes, you raise some valid points that I hadn't thought of. Time will tell where all of this jumps. I just hope that they redeploy as many staff as they can, and keep redundancies to the absolute minimum. I don't really take any pleasure out of anyone being made redundant.

Nothing there I didn't really see coming to be fair. Pub revenue down because of lockdown, off -sales up. This was nowhere near as bad as I thought it might have been.

I think we can guess a lot of what's coming to be fair, as it won't be anything too much unexpected trading wise. That said 2 redeeming features are likely to be the Carlsberg update and the off sales uptake at supermarkets et al.

I bought some yeaterday. My broker had a dealing offer on so I had a little dabble. Only 100 but still.

Yoyo, no, I did not see that. I'd I would have waited.

Fairdealer, Who'd think that lol.

Don't forget that discount cards expire at the end of this month, so need reordering. I've done mine just now. It's always good to have for when some sort of normality (whatever that might be) returns.

Piers Morgan has a PHD in B.S. Does that come close?

I have a fantasy head to headfootball team set up as I did last season, and know some from here joined in. If anyone wants to again this season here are the details.

I'm quite bullish on this one. I only have a small 4000 share holding here, but still. I think once normality resumes everything will be fine. Who's not going to want to go to the pub to celebrate the end of all this bloody nonsense? The serious drop in sp we're currently experiencing is a perfect opportunity to top up whenever you can.

Another one I am in is SGC. This is Another one I am confident in that I have recently added to. For the same reason. When normality returns, they too will benefit.

Thanks Expru. Will do. We've been there many times before. We normally go with TUI but they wanted over a grand more than normal so binned them off. We got almost identical holiday with Jet2 this year at much better value. £3k for 2 weeks for the 4 of us. Well happy with that. Hopefully more of the same next year. I'll certainly be checking.

I'll look into your recommendation too.

@ Expru2000.

That's good to know. We're due to go to Zakynthos in the not too distant with Jet2, so it's always good to know what to expect beforehand. Thanks for the info.

@Ash78. I live in Greater Manchester & it seems we're going into a regional lockdown again, same as parts of The Midlands. Doubtlessly this will have some impact on the pubs in this region.

So thanks a bunch all those selfish B'Stards that went out protesting and ignoring the Virus

@Supercharger. I concur the point about those doing staycation this year.

We are off to Greece later this year with Jet2, assuming of course it does not get cancelled. Friends of ours that usually go at the same time as us have not been so lucky. The hotel we all usually go to is remaining closed so they are looking at cancelling so they may well stay somewhere in the UK. Plenty of others have either cancelled themselves or both TUI & J2 cancelled so they may well have decided to stay here. Some of this may well result in bookings at our inns.

Swings & roundabouts I think.
