Ha. I haven't. A risky punt it is. Seems to me the best chance for AST is t.o. Reading previous RNSs it seems the shareholders not keen.on fund raising by dilution. I suppose that's a sensible standpoint but if the other option includes delisting or worse then......
I've seen a couple of posts in recent weeks referring to a possible consolidation at Aex......I haven't found any links, info, rns etc. stating this anywhere......are these posts speculative or has someone read something? Thanks.
From TW. div section of website: 'We announced at our 2017 half year results on 1 August 2017, that we intend to return �340 million to shareholders in July 2018 equating to c.10.40 pence per ordinary share. Future special dividends will be announced on an annual basis at the half year results and will be paid in the following July, subject to shareholder approval. These policies on ordinary and special dividends apply for dividends paid from January 2017. During our half year results on 1 August 2017 we confirmed our intentions to make further capital returns to shareholders in 2019 and beyond and will provide an update on the future approach to capital returns at the next Strategy Day in the first half of 2018. The Board confirms its intention to keep the mechanics of how the Company will pay special dividends, including the merits of undertaking a share buyback at some point in the future should it become appropriate to do so, under regular' ......Nige, I know you will have seen this this by just for info, it's still intended to pay but of course this is no guarantee. Let's hope so. Regardless of dividend intentions, this is a great buying opp, I'm raiding the tax account! GLA
New pants, its all good. HL excellent to be fair, had no issues since moving to them a few mths ago, and problem sorted now. Pretty rangebound here 23-26c.
Not sure if anyone else is with HL but I woke this am to see that my BKIR holding valuation had lost >80% of its value overnight. Thankfully a computer glitch at HL but it was a sobering reminder of where we have been in the past and of the volatile nature of investing in general (albeit I am sure BKIR wont suffer such volatility anytime soon).

RBS consolidated at about 20p per share, in 2012, their price moved well after consolidation, up from 200p.
That's how I read it too. False and misleading. Poor form. I never have an issue with rampers or de-rampers, each to their own and people can make up their own minds. But that post is not in the spirit of this I think.
Thanks 1GW, a very helpful summary. The way I see this, the hytera take over was never a distressed sale and as such if hytera pull out or have the takeover blocked by the Germans then sepura is still in reasonable position medium to longer term is it not, presuming a covenant waiver is given. Obviously a failed take over will send the price below 14.75 p almost certainly, but it will recover I would imagine......
I have not been looking in here and am gong to look through RNSs tonight, but the t.o is still taking place as things stand is it not, just with a possible delay?
Thanks Ej, I certainly err more on the side of risk taking and don't mind some of my PF taken up with a fluctuant stock to trade, and as someone who lives in Wirral, and watches the London property market with a mind of its own, ups and downs, the one inexorable trend is up and any well run ship at the heart of that I am sure will produce good revenues. Famous last words but if they can survive the last 8 years then I can't see the next 8 being much worse even with the increasing threat of the online business model. GLA
How do people interpret the opening of two new stores this year? Is it a strong move by a confident board that feel it is easily affordable to expand the business model given they have no debt or is it a risky attempt to generate more revenue in the knowledge that the bigger the slice of the market, the better your chances are of making more money? Not many businesses debt free out there I would say and as a property market newcomer it seems to me the London bubble is looking ok, as in relatively stable. I guess the only other risk is cheaper, online competition but then am I right in thinking the clientele Foxtons pitch for like the high street presence as much as the online market? Been watching this SP for a bit and thinking of buying in at this price. GLA.
World war? The insidious rise of fascism is not so insidious now. The only thing preventing that is nuclear weapons. If we go to war, well, thats it. However, on the assumption we are all alive and not nuked next year, well, the stability of the market thus far today is very reassuring to me. GLA
Let's hope it censors him as you would expect. No idea what to expecting the markets myself.
Thanks for the reply, really helpful. 18% div !!?? That would be impressive but won't hold out for that. Good set of figures there and will help the reading. Re TW, still holding but only managed a buy in price of 136 anyway as tied up other funds in BKIR but am still holding cash, hence the interest in BRAM. Have been LTH of ?TW for ages and luckily sold half the holding pre ref. not worried about the rest though, TW is a pretty good traders share If you hold enough.
