What I've seen over the last year or 2 is results, good or bad = share price drop, but I agree that a price drop before results does not bode well

Heading south again, over 7% held in shorts, if there is negative news to come next week then I don't think "old boys club" is a suitable description.

Anyone working in the Sakania area is going to need some heavy duty armed protection. I lived in Mufulira, Zambia, up until 1995 and the Mufulira to Ndola road passes a few 100m away from the Sakania border post. When I left there was 11 Zambian army road blocks set up along the road to try and combat the armed bandits that crossed over from Zaire along with patrols and camps in the bush but it was still a brave man that drove along that road.

At least the discount vouchers are something to look forward to. Mind you, I used 1 from the last batch then the wife put the rest "somewhere safe" never to be seen again. I'm looking forward to the time when I have to book in advance to get a table in my local F&B's

Needs to get back to 36 months ago before I'm back in profit!

I guess I must be a bit thick because I cant understand the big price drop. Forget for the moment the recent trading statement and picture me standing at the door of my local Wetherspoons pub. If I was to shout "Chinese stock market and price of oil have both collapsed" how many people would leave their drinks and go home? Most people would think "Good, now the price of petrol and home heating bills should fall so I can afford another pint or 2" As for the increased wages having an effect on profits, the Wetherspoons pubs in my area are all ways crowded because of their low prices. They could increase prices by a penny or 2 and still be the cheapest and busiest pubs in the area. Buy now and rake it in in a month or 2 when sanity returns.
