everybody talking about the price of their travel insurance? what that has to do with their share price is beyond me.
1) they don't just sell travel insurance (motor insurance, home insurance and various other products)
2) the travel market is ridiculously competitive at the moment anyway and i doubt anyone is making much money
3) Saga has a loyal customer base and sells its products alongside the holiday/cruise side where customers clearly value a product that from a provider they trust.
instead of focusing on how much your travel insurance is to assess the investment case here, have a look at the cash generation and profit margin.

i said this some time ago...14% is a quite a substantial stake to have and seems out of the ordinary for an asset management company simply investing for clients looking to get a dividend.
Somebody wants a certain amount of clout when it comes to company strategy it seems.
That feels like a precursor to something else.
this should build nicely all the way to the main dividend now and positive year end results/q1 trading statement will only further rebuild market trust.

i can see this back at 140-160 by april

almost at 10%.
SL are a pretty sizeable entity. I can't help but wonder whether there is a bit of M&A potential here.

DNV have been around for 130 yrs +. Highly credible, highly regarded.
By putting their name to this, they are underwriting the validity of the claimed technology with their reputation.
This must be taken seriously now.

would have to wonder why...

pure share price manipulation!

wouldnt surprise me to see a third party bid on the table soon. they obviously want it for a song

i'm many things, but an idiot is not one of them.

doesn't look like there are many at this leg on the basis that the MMs aren't interested in taking even small volumes

I stand corrected.

Selling. Again.

Nah, with the best will in the world you�re not THAT interesting

something like that Marc.

if my maths serves me correctly, this director of an e-PoS systems company (and also something to do with furniture sales) has just dropped another �100k on this, taking his total investment to somewhere between �500 and �700k. that does seem like someone is literally 'betting the farm' on it. it looks like the same individual spent over �200k on Galileo Resources in late 2015 ... (ticker GLR) i would refer you to the chart for that company circa jul-aug 17 which seems to coincide with when Mr Packwood jettisoned most of his 21m share holding at a 6-7x multiple profit. I just wouldn't want to be trying to get out after him is all i'll say.

1. you dont speak for everyone here. it's entirely arrogant to even think that you might 2. being able to choose whether to invest based on expectation and not based on historic performance isn't bipolar, it's intelligent. If i've become bipolar (in your non humble opinion) by commenting mildly positively about this stock then it says more about you than it does me 3. Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard, Beckham, Cole and others vastly underachieved for their country - with the crop of talent we had through the years 2004-2014 we should have taken major honours. 4. Your very personal attack on me has been reported. 5. When you filter someone, the filter stays on regardless of being logged on or off. It's actually a bit pathetic to not have someone filtered but to pretend you do so you can create the illusion that you are being 'forced' to read posts and respond.

i'm not gonna lie, I retain my scepticism and will continue to do so until Mr Kuensel and any other whiff of Perth-originated London charlies are fully out of the picture here in the same way as it took for Rooney's "retirement" from the England set up for me to re-embrace the national football team after more than a decade of undeserving and at times maschostic loyalty from fans. however, this is beginning to feel a little interesting again and I'm paying particular mind to the VAST example and what happened there between late 16 and early 17. one does wonder whether an announcement of agreement on commencement of gold production would send this north of the 20p mark. there is undoubtedly a tonne more dilution to come here over the next couple of years and beyond but nonetheless, this could see its value exceed �30m with some substantive progress (compared with the last 6 months of nothing). being entirely dispassionate, i'd say....ok for a punt aiming for 20p + based on recovery trend and the likelihood of the arc of the story to follow. but while there is any hint of the ghost of placings past hanging around, this could easily be just another soufle [sic] without much rise. #familyPackOfPopcorn

watchlists keep going blank + the value of trades is wrong by a factor of 2/3 decimal places ...looks like someone fked up a code change. good to see my 20 quid a month going up the swanee!

IIRC Apple was once a couple of geeks fiddling with circuit boards in their parents garage. everything is nothing until it becomes something

160p this drifted from 200 to 180 and then fell off a cliff with the profit warning bottoming out at 108/109 I don't think it'll take more than a quarter (next trading update?) to see this back up in the 160 area. longer term, obviously all depends on performance against plan but no reason that it shouldnt get back above 200 toward year end.
