Doggy,

Most of know about as much of history as a pig does of lipsticks.

Mr Trump will be elected to the White House in November's election.

*****a do Lago ??

Sounded like Trump's house for a minute!

So, the incentive is to sell before the expected poor results, with announcement of the anticipated buyback. No need to rush back in either, by the sound of it, as the economy is the 'dog in the manger' for some time to come!

It's being so cheerful that keeps me going!

Doggy,

I think you have to weigh in the balance whether immigration is a net benefit (to public finances) or otherwise.

As for what goes on in the corridors of power in this country, it may amuse you to watch (somewhat dated) episodes of 'Yes Minister', where 'Civil Servants' (in Whitehall) are portrayed as subverting/thwarting the Ministers from carrying out their business as M.P.'s representing their country...

Doggy,

China (and Russia) are 'on the march' for sure.

Hopefully the support for Ukraine by the West will deter China from marching 'gung-ho' into Taiwan.

Doggy,

I get where you are coming from in implying that the rest of us should pay our fair share for peace-keeping costs.

Even after NATO was founded in 1949, U.S. leaders tried to limit America’s ties to the organization.

In the 1950s, when President Eisenhower complained of “having the whole defense burden placed on U.S. shoulders” and charged the Western Europeans with nearly “making a sucker out of Uncle Sam.

By the early 1960s, it was clear that steps to encourage Western Europe to stand up independently so the United States could draw down its presence had faltered, America’s aversion to costs then reappeared in perennial debates about whether the U.S. would truly risk a nuclear exchange with Moscow to protect Western Europe.

The net result was a sustained American drive throughout the 1970s and 1980s to push Western European states to assume greater burdens. U.S. officials threatened that the United States might abandon NATO if the allies did not spend more on their defense.

Donald Trump is only echoing the sentiment as seen above.

Doggy,

Trump said "Washington will no longer play the role of the world’s policeman." Actually that may be a good thing, just let the rest of the world get on with it, but the (military) balance of power may have consequences.

As long as China does not step out to play the role.

The situation in Palestine demonstrably cannot be solved by war. Calling Palestinians 'human animals' (Israel's defence minister - Yoav Gallant) and an recently announced policy of collective punishment, against all the residents of Gaza, is lamentable.

Currently Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel live under various regimes of organized discrimination and oppression, much of which makes life nearly unlivable. Also occupying territory is asking for trouble. As America is a friend of Israel it needs to formulate a solution.

The Directors are riding the gravy train, leaving us riding 4th class. They would have had much more, without the large investors applying the brakes!

Stt1 didn't see the red flags on his own investment (TLY) It crashed based on the events he deliberately did not warn about. Anybody can read his posts, he is on a mission which bears the hallmark of sowing misinformation. If only he could be fair-minded and be honest for once.

Stt1 - Stick to TLY where you have lost a fortune.

Curly, pay no attention to the 'throne lady', Tremor knows the markets better than he does, of that we can be fairly certain. Plus he has lost a packet on TLY so he is looking rather silly right now.

Stt1 wins the prize for relentless unhinged outpourings of negativity for countless years. A waste of brain-power!

I almost feel sorry for stt1 - he has made huge losses on TLY, buying originally at over £8.

TLY is currently trading at 8.75p.

I hate to think what the average price for all previous share buybacks was. Or how much we have left in the bank now?

I am not counting on a massive compensation for the Alphonso/LG litigation but would welcome a pleasant surprise.

Tremor have been involved with the mass markets, i.e. the growth engines of CTV, for a number of years now.

They also have a certain footprint in smaller, niche markets.

If they have exposure where the global macro-economy is deteriorating then so will others.

This does adequately not explain why tremor are performing below-par.

It's certainly been a very difficult time for long-term holders. No dividends, just rewards for the management. This is against the obligation of a company to return value to shareholders. We were told that share buy-backs were undertaken partly to return value to shareholders (buying back shares at what the management considered a price too low) but were the buybacks not just more opportunities for the directors to load up?

My enthusiasm is at an all time low - but that being said the shares could revive if a special dividend were declared, or even an ordinary dividend.

H/L sounds like another layer of flannel.

Well, at least we are pushing beyond the £3 barrier now.

By September we shall know whether the case against Alphonso/LG goes to trial or not.

Guy's you seem rather depressed.

The situation is not exactly exciting here but we are not at the stage of a 'tremor tribute band' just yet.

Always look on the bright side of life.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving

And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour

That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,

A sun that is the source of all our power

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see

Are moving at a million miles a day

In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour

Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'
