i dont know what i'm talking about as the BoD are a law unto themselves, we can only hope that things stabilize post TO and share buy backs and that 6m trading numbers are +ve otherwise the SP will tread water

i dont think you will get a divi from CNE unless the annual P & L allows for it and the BoD dont know what to do with the cash. i think for the time being the share buy back is the only value accreting item apart from Egypt and the cash residuals from NS, etc

i have adjusted for TO and the share buybacks since 08/04

from 2011 onwards ! i think i might wait for 100% uplift to 53.5p if it ever gets there

thanks Lunch, at the moment (pending any RNS's due out) MS are out completely and BR are the largest SH with 30.3m shares ~ 9.375% SHAREHOLDING

i meant to say 7%+ which is over 20m shares ?

thanks for explaining that bit of it however does that explain the large numbers, ie 7m + holdings they are taking on their books ?

love Galaxy chocolate (milk) not with all those funny bits in it that they are trying to flog nowadays. if it gets to 230+ by the end of May, i'll send you 2 x real ones !

EC, i love your optimism but you do know you are invested in CNE, the share that always disappoints ?
if it gets to 230+ (or even 223+) before the AGM i'll buy you a virtual big bar of Galaxy !

hi EC, it might need a trading update or a +ve AGM to get this over the 223 pricing i feel, and what they will do with the "excess" cash, ie deferred payments etc

MS have sold their entire holding once again, i dont really know their strategy but they seem to buy and sell large shareholdings on a weekly basis. i for one hope they lose money doing so.

Barney, the RNS only mentions 1.158m bought back since 7th April when i think the new programme started,

just to update, per 2 more RNS's today (mid morning), UBS have sold out completely and Barclays reduced their holding:
BLACKROCK 9.3462%
MFS INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 7.5749%
MORGAN STANLEY 7.2536%
ABRDN 5.1190%
NEWTYN MANAGEMENT LLC 4.2742%
VANGUARD GROUP 3.8664%
CITIGROUP 3.5953%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES 3.4913%
GOLDMAN SACHS 3.2471%
BARCLAYS CAPITAL SECURITIES 3.1353%

Banbury, my numbers i have assumed taken with the apportioned TO share tendering, ie If MFS had 100m shares on 1st April, they tendered say 100m and had the %age set by the company accepted in the TO. so in each case reduced the pre 6th April holding by that %age. then i have taken the post 6th April RNS's to adjust their 13th April holdings accordingly. as i said it might not be 100% accurate but until a new list turns up on the CNE site (i assume it will be 1st May) or from new RNS's, i'm happy with it. i did make a point that the UBS new holding looked very similar to the abrdn old holding (post TO) and i wondered if they had sold out but there is no RNS to confirm that abrdn have sold out.

BLACKROCK 9.3462%
MFS INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 7.5749%
MORGAN STANLEY 7.2536%
BARCLAYS CAPITAL SECURITIES 5.7351%
UBS GROUP 5.1297%
ABRDN 5.1190%
NEWTYN MANAGEMENT LLC 4.2742%
VANGUARD GROUP 3.8664%

this is from 1st april per CNE and RNS's since then - may not be 100% accurate but you get the gist

EC, they had 9.696% as per 1st April already, this is just a minor adjustment from then via TO to now.

its sort of an easy spot as to which ones were invested previously or not as the holding RNS's give you the before and after 3% threshold passed level for number of shares held.

the number of shares for UBS are very similar to the holding of "abrdn" on a post TO assumption, i'm wondering if they have sold out to them and CNE not been notified yet.
