Yep, "jam tomorrow" should be emblazoned above the door at company HQ.

Another 2 years of speculation-I'm out to put my money to better use.

GL to you all.

Search me.

Earlier on this afternoon I posted a distillation of an article from the weekend press but named the newspaper.

LSE has deleted it-they really are quite pathetic

The small article in "The Telegraph" on Saturday quoted another City source as saying "... the reports appeared to have questionable origins" and that a takeover seemed implausible in view of the unattractive wider economic environment.

If proven to have been false then some august names who were propagating the "rumour" should be called to account (but won't, of course).

... of a massive P&D exercise

Apols. my incorrect terminology-the price achieved by the seller is what I meant.

08:55:20 80.90 10,000 Sell*

008:54:34 81.56 10,000 Sell*

08:53:47 82.111 10,000 Sell*

unless my maths are way out.

Yes, and in the space of less than 2 minutes during which the 3*10k sells took place, MM's shaved the Bid by 1.47%.

Insurance is already subject to "Insurance Premium Tax" at 12 or 20% so how the reds are going to stick 20% on that as well is anybody's guess. As usual it will hit the poorer sections of the population the hardest but lateral thinking has never been the politicians' best suit.

As for the SP, a minor politician on the other side of the world breaks wind and Aviva staggers. It beggars belief that the SP of a "blue chip" company paying chunky dividends does stagger around like a drunk but with the present CEO gradually whittling market concentration down to a few territories one begins to wonder if the dividend is sustainable.

Just my thoughts

My heart missed a beat when I saw the RNS prompt this morning. "Here we go" I thought, but had forgotten the imminence of the AGM/Results requiring a RNS.

Sigh!

(Well summed up elcap-everything crossed)

.... is this poxy share going to hang on to its gains?????

Like most of the Brokers' Rec's. pie in the sky achieved, it seems, by throwing darts at a board

If you can access narrow band UVB phototherapy it works wonders. Treatment 2/3 visits/week to hospital for 6-8 weeks starting with a 5 second exposure through to 5 minutes over the period. (AND you get a blazing suntan all over!)

Deeper issues with the UK?

The deepest is a grossly incompetent Government, possibly the worst for decades, followed closely by billions being spent on social engineering to satisfy the whims of a narcissistic minority.

A friend who holds a senior position in a large London firm of management consultants tells me she has to waste countless hours of her valuable making sure any publication by her company, internal or external, is worded so that it can't possibly upset anybody. Multiply that across the country and you get some idea of the gross waste of resources which should be channelled into getting us back on our feet.

No wonder no one wants to invest in UK plc

Let 'em all come Ahfam, let 'em all come -I don't give a Donald provided they don't sink to abuse level.!

Sure am Ahfam-lovely to see a sea of Blue this morning! Keeping everything crossed, throwing the bones, reading the tealeaves and sacrificing the odd chicken or two

(the last bit was a joke by the way just in case we have any AR campaigners on the BB)

Enjoy the sunshine and GL

This time last year the SP stood at £1.57-let's hope recent momentum continues to get back there.

FTSE 100-slightly up on 12 months ago

DJI +11.23%

FTSE 100-5 years-static

DJI 5 years + 33.67%

Must say something about UK plc and this despite 75% of FTSE 100 constituents earning 75% of their earnings overseas.

At the risk of being the subject of abuse, which seems to be commonplace on this BB nowadays, may I be boring and ask exactly where all this money is going??

Between 6/22 and 6/23 the company burned through 3 million bucks. Allowing about £500k for salaries etc that leaves a big chunk of moolah to which will now be added the drawdowns under the recent much criticised finance package.

I realise that this sort of research is expensive but it would be nice to know how costs are broken down rather than just the bland heading "Administrative Expenses" as contained in the annual accounts.

Such a heading hides a "multitude of sins"!

Perhaps those more well versed in the mechanics of medical research could enlighten us.
