Pardon?

Very mixed bag with Interim Div reduced by nearly 17% and SPBT down 66%. Man has been struggling for years (and me with them!!) and I finally bit an enormously painful bullet some weeks ago and got out as I can not see how they are ever going to reverse what has become a monotonous negative trend.

Stu-you weren't far out. 18% drop at the open but now recovered by about 13% to 115p. Not sure why it has recovered so well bearing in mind its dismal performance but then today is one in a million and Monday may turn out to be a bad one when folk have had a couple of days to reassess the consequences of Brexit

Hope you're right Stu. but I agree it would be unusual for this leopard to change its spots

Uncanny-since I sold last week after years of anguish,SP up by over 4% and up by about 10% from its new 52W low.Talk about jinxed!!

Hi Stu, Bit of a bounce this morning along with the rest of the market. Good sign or temporary blip?

What amazes me is the widely differing Broker opinions and TP's. 19 posted opinions for 2016 show TP's ranging from 105p to 215p yet presumably they must all be looking at the same company data and it would seem ignoring the steady downward trend?

Sure am Panofscouse, though somewhat negated this morning by a bill for £450 for car aircon repairs but small beer compared with my burnt figures due to Man Group flambe!! As for Farage and t'other fella I think they will fade into the shadows if Brexit becomes a reality 'cos in their heart of hearts they know they haven't the public's confidence.Cameron wants to hang on like grim death and I think he and Georgie will have to lie on the bed made by others.As for yesterday's disgusting exhibition on the Thames-words fail me!! All in the lap of the Gods I'm afraid

You could be right Panofscouse!! After much anguish over the years I finally jumped ship this morning which means, of course, that the SP will soar tomorrow...........or will it!!?? Disturbing times and all down to the politicians and fatcats squabbling like kids over a bag of sweets and MM's panicking like hell. T'was ever thus I fear and always will be

When the market drops, Man joins in with gusto immediately. When it rises Man sits and thinks about it. Bad day for everybody today I guess-all down to the beginning of a severe rout thanks to the likes of Cameron, Obama, the Canadian in charge of our Bank of England(!) and all the fatcats who have a massive vested interest in staying in, and hang the rest of us peasants. Let's hope the market is pricing in the "Out" scenario now rather than later.

From Man's front Page "Man’s business model comprises a compelling array of investment products and investment management expertise" Yeah-right!!.Perhaps they should think about revising it somewhat.

Well, you must have passed it either yesterday or first thing this morning-well done on getting out of this pile of poo.!!

Now achieved a new 52 week low-yippee!! Come on Manny-start earning your millions-at present you're just marking time and hoping things will get better

'fraid not at present,-still falling although first hour not always indicative of daily outcome.Now approaching 52 week low however and I'm afraid this company may never recover as the turmoil in financial markets, brought about mainly by governments tinkering about with the system, seems likely to be an ongoing fact of life.

Yep-I'm one of them sitting on a huge paper loss thanks to the idiots who supposedly are the "experts" in their field. Admittedly there were times when an out was possible eg when they shot up to 217p early last year but even then the loss would have been humongous so, like many others I suspect, have to sit it out and wait for these jokers to get their thumbs out of the place the sun don't shine and do the job they are paid handsomely to do. I find it astounding that their wasn't a huge fuss at the AGM but then the Institutions hold sway and they all belong to the same clubs

and Barclays reducing their's today to £1.45. Why do folk take notice of these crystal ball gazers????

250 going ahead strongly-Man stumbling on as usual 4th in losers list and volume traded. 12 of AHL funds are now showing negative total returns (notably all having inception dates post 2013-conclusions??) -I haven't counted how many more there are but the number is probably substantial. Management have lost it I'm afraid.

Open 132.7-hopeful spurt to 137-a figure not seen for some time, but now the usual pathetic collapse as we head to towards the close even though the 250 has continued its steady climb Nearly 3.2 million shares have changed hands making it number 3 in todays rankings. This SP pattern has been happening for months to the extent of boredom making the theory of price manipulation more like pure fact.

Mine looks like the sodding UN. Headline today "Tom Watson: ban hedge funds from cashing in on EU referendum" Ha!!! Fat chance with Man Group-they seem incapable of cashing in on anything
