Not far off the dreaded and unbelievable 50p.

What's the stock yielding now

[salpara111] 09/8/2011 11:15

Yikes...and I was kicking myself for only getting out in the high 70s, missing the peak at 90 ish!

If it strikes the 50 line again I could be tempted.

[lionheart79] 08/8/2011 15:14

Wish I'd sold at 90p! Still, was always going to be in it for the longterm

[fangorn2] 08/8/2011 12:14

Siga buy another million shares...down 5% so far today.

Anyone topping up?

[fangorn2] 03/8/2011 08:18

Interims out

[a1samu] 02/8/2011 23:03

Unfortunately these lunatic directors not only lose their, but my money too.

What an unbelievable bunch of incompetent fools.

[ccnp] 01/8/2011 08:30

Blackrock wins by a short. Nice to see Directors who run companies into the groudn losing a little of their own money

F&C disappointed by court decision
StockMarketWire.com

F&C Asset Management has commented on the judgment that has been handed down by the High Court of Justice Chancery Division in respect of litigation between its subsidiary, F&C Alternative Investment (Holdings) (AIH), and the two individual founder members of F&C Partners, the Group's majority-owned fund of hedge funds business which is now in run off.



Pretty poor show imv not honouring the PUT option.

[a1samu] 28/6/2011 10:53

This is run by a bunch of ninnies lacking all imagination. They are giving the City a bad name in that they are ineffectual and returning losses only.

They should all be sacked and replaced with one of those american hedge fund managers making billions each year.

It is beyond belief how these directors and fund managers prounce about, believing that they are the answer to sliced bread and awarding themselves megabucks out of losses to shareholders.

It is also amazing how placid major shareholers are not asking for major changes at the top.

[ccnp] 26/6/2011 20:29

Am I arriving at an exciting moment ? I have just noticed the Director buys and then see Blackrock disclosing a sizeable short. Who gets to take the bath ?

F&C was such a good return in the 70s and 80s. Woudl be nice to see it turned around instead of milked

[a1samu] 29/4/2011 15:15

ii are calling this a BULL on the 28 April with a target price of 104p. Stop loss @70p.

Mind 100billion+ under management and cannot make a decent return for fund holders or shareholders.

This should be paying massive dividends out of massive earnings, instead of paying a pittance and making losses.

[lionheart79] 28/4/2011 11:58

am i missing something with the rise today?

[salpara111] 17/4/2011 11:39

Well I got out for 85, will look to re-enter around 70, dont think we will see 50 again but never say never!

[a1samu] 17/4/2011 04:30

Before this returns to 200p, it will first visit 50p.

ii called this a Bear on the 14 April 2011 with a target price of 69p.

The interims are due sometime late August 2011, so there is plenty time for this share price to girate around the current levels and test out previous lows.

I am waiting for the 50p, before investing and then I hope it will rebound into the 200p range over a period of time.

[solarno lopez] 07/4/2011 14:41

How much time have you got!!

[lionheart79] 06/4/2011 13:31

what chance of this eventually returning to the 200p mark, where it bounced around for the majority of the last decade, i wonder?

[cammy3] 20/3/2011 07:01

This chap now spent c£700,000 on shares -

[lionheart79] 09/3/2011 14:03

2p ex-divi at the end of the month.

[salpara111] 09/3/2011 10:38

Well, the market appears unimpressed, I wish I had bailed at 91.

If it does not close in line with the market today I am getting out as there will be no catalyst to drive the share price back up again.

I have a decent gain so will put it in the bank.

[enami] 08/3/2011 12:45

Results tomorrow. Don't know what to expect from the new management

Quite a big gap up at the open today, some leakage of results?

[tom111] 07/2/2011 14:06

Must admit to bailing out here too much uncertainty, in the meantime will watch from the sidelines.

Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust was established in 1868 and was the world's first investment trust. A major innovation of its time and a pioneer of collective investments, it was specifically designed to reduce investors' risk by spreading their investment between a number of stocks. Today, the Trust is one of the largest global growth investment trusts in the world.
Over the years the Trust has helped finance a diverse range of projects and industries such as, North Sea Oil, Cats (the musical), the Independent newspaper and the Channel Tunnel. In 2002, Foreign & Colonial committed £150 million to private equity, through HarbourVest Partners and Pantheon Ventures, for investment over the next 5 years. Further information about the private equity investments made by the Trust can be found in the latest

Did anybody else know that F & C (Foreign and Colonial) were once in the Ftse 100?????? (BBC business news told viewers)

What an ignominious end being hijacked by Sherbourn, but if we get a share price of 150p in next few weeks, I'll forgive anything
