Yep, Rob Cotton is finally gone. The share price reaction will be interesting - I suspect it will be rather positive :o))

[igoe104] 01/3/2017 07:35

Yep, good to see.

[lizard370] 24/2/2017 10:09

yes divi paid this am-one bit of good news in a shocking few days for this volatile share, not long ago a star performer in my portfolio!

[tsmith2] 24/2/2017 10:04

What was ex div date?

[seans66] 24/2/2017 09:49

Anyone got their dividend yet?

Barclaystockbrockers always seem to be the last to pay dividends...

[spoole5] 24/2/2017 07:51

Although morrisons 15% short position and nice recovery! They aren't always right!

[staylow1] 24/2/2017 07:32

I also have a new one for myself - don't touch a company that the institutional shorts have an interest in. Chances are they'll be more like them following the others.Question - is there even a single small entry on shorttracker / fca?Yes - don't touch it, move on

[spoole5] 24/2/2017 07:24

i think i will just put it down to experience, learn some lessons and move on! New rule: never invest in companies that have issued profit warning within last 12 months!

[staylow1] 23/2/2017 22:44

I think I'd of followed it with a tight trailing stop and see if the up trend continued. But there again you've probably been in a very emotional place the last few days, so easier said than done!Not so sure if I'd get back in though, you might be too tied emotionally, if it goes the wrong way, and all it takes it a bad RNS you'll be back in that place, and watching every single tick. But then it's the FOMO...

[spoole5] 23/2/2017 19:53

Out today at 1.17 after trading my loss down from 50 to 30%. The question is do i get back in if it falls back and try and trade back some more of cut my losses and move on.

Any bid at whatever price will be subject to due diligence. But I agree under the covers I feel this company is a bag of worms currently.

[ptgint] 23/2/2017 16:39

I agree with you rivaldo but maybe the consultants will also be briefed to find a buyer for the co. ? I'm staying in meanwhile as a bid would seem the best option here albeit I can't see it being at the 200p level without a lot of due diligence by a prospective bidder. My opinion only so dyor.

[tsmith2] 23/2/2017 14:07

Shake and vac going on

[igoe104] 23/2/2017 14:05

A good/new CEO with a good reputation, would probably add around 20% to share price when announced.

[wigancasino] 23/2/2017 13:41

I don't think anyone cares about PI's even though they say they do. Any bodies set up to protect us are nigh on useless. Think it is more a case of buyer beware. I added because of the previous RNS that implied we were on on track to then get the RNS at the end of the day which led to this fall. Disgraceful from management, blatant lying has put me into a large negative position. I am prepared to hold as has been pointed out the Escrow business is worth more than the current market cap.

Some of these CEO's have no morals and just look after number one. Hoping for a good take out price around the £2.00 mark or Cotton replaced with a more honest and transparent CEO. You take your money and you take your chance, just doesn't help when clowns like this blatantly lie, and in effect rob you.

[j284] 23/2/2017 13:26

In my opinion Cotton needs to go, arrogance is tolerable as long as you deliver. There will be plenty of high calibre replacements in this sector.

[emso] 23/2/2017 12:19

Now the dust has settled on this debacle, can anyone tell me whether there is a body that looks into dodgy dealings - not least all those who opened up short positions post 19th January.

[tsmith2] 23/2/2017 09:43

Start your engines time coming up?

[opodio] 23/2/2017 09:41

Losing customers also makes forecasting v difficult

[opodio] 23/2/2017 09:39

Sold and took a nice profit

Worried strategic review will result in added worms

Battered balance sheet and goodwill write down

[boozey] 23/2/2017 09:29

Investors want transparency, so they would have insisted Cotton use external consultants so they can get a first hand view of the root causes of company's problems. He is a lame duck of a CEO now.

[effortless cool] 23/2/2017 09:28

rivaldo,

I imagine the consultants have been brought in by the non-execs, rather than RC, as they do no longer trust their executive team to do the job properly.
