Was the payment 56p?

I don't think Quatar are buying - the buyback of shares has meant that their percentage of the shares has increased. The real point here is why are GLEN closing their Cobalt mine in the DRC - the world's biggest - yet re-opening one in Canada?

Seems happy to award a franchise to the dutch company that is making a mess of the Scotrail franchise. It's about time oxbridge grads are banned from govt and the civil service posts

Anyone know what it is/was?

According to the daily mail, Glencore has been dragged into another corruption probe after Brazilian authorities accused it of paying bribes to employees at a state-owned oil company

looks like the city is punishing the TCG board for their rather pathetic excuses over the profits warning, and div suspension - AND their lack of a plan to resolve the situation

Global warming - LOL

from 1993 to 2007 was chief executive of international IT services company Logica, where he oversaw a period of major growth and led the merger with CMG in 2002, which doubled the company's then-size.

Both Logica AND CMG were FTSE100 companies - both dropped out of the index - ask yourself where they are now

me too thechancers - If I had taken my grand profit on Glen last week, I would have more cash to put in here

Yes, Fosun is the wildcard here, and, apart from the recent drop in price, is the reason I finally bought in at 80p

Hardly anyone is shorting this share - but no one seems to be building a stake either, as volumes seem stable over the last month. And no announcement from the company to explain the drop. But the market makers seem to have set on a course of slowly reducing the price

Does it matter if the govt in Egypt are honest? I'm not following this story - but the family will surely insist on a UK post mortem, which will, hopefully, establish cause of death

Are BLU going to be looking for money from us to fund this?

The share price has fallen from 146p in the middle of May - the drop today is part of a general trend, and probably nothing to do with USB. Other brokers have been generally positive about TCG in the last few months. However - Invesco have dumped more than 20% of their holdings since May - do they know something everyone else doesn't - or are they simply adjusting their portfolio?

Very bizarre. From 146p in he middle of May - down to 90p today - yet almost nobody shorting the share

If Advent have a sizeable holding, aren't they obliged to declare it to the London stock market?

got a good write-up in the Daily Mail on Tuesday. They are currently running a trial with 6000 members

Those shorts must be getting very tight and uncomfortable at this point

If Advent - or anyone - is a person of significant control, then Laird would have to update their PSC register, and inform Companies House in due course. The company PSC is available for inspection, free of charge, I believe

Bob Mackenzie is suing for up to 220M. He was was paid 1.4 million in his last full year at the firm, and is trying to hold on to 33m shares he was due if the firm hit certain targets (LOL). If these are not paid, he argues he should get damages equal to their value � between 85 million and 220 million if the company hits certain targets, with annual dividends of over 3 million. If this is the kind of silly money they are throwing at ONE DIRECTOR - no wonder the company is in trouble
