Please ignore Liquid Underpants.

He is a rancid little recluse who sits all day in the middle of a field digitally pleasuring himself. (He never manages the end bit, though, LOL LOL).

He fancies himself as a bit of an investment guru and gives advice on all kinds of shares none of which he knows anything about. For instance he's been slagging off Woodford's Patient Capital Trust for aeons, quite impotently. Indeed in July he was shorting it, or so he claimed. He was trying to get other holders to do the same. So what happened? They shot up about 15%, that's all!

He is also pretty thick about other financial matters. He avoids making a profit at all costs in case he has to pay Capital Gains Tax! Can you believe it? As if!!!

He excuses himself for always making losses by saying that they can be very useful to put against his tax liabilities. The dope hasn't twigged that you've got to make said gains before the losses can be used.

He has also been making psychopathic fantasy posts pretending to smash those that disagree with him with a cricket bat about the head! Weird ain't a strong enough word.....

A little bit accident prone perhaps. Could be a nervy time ahead of the numbers on the 11th ?

Thanks, Aishah. :-)

£5 to 8 million I should say. Do they know how to do the calculation, or not?

[zcaprd7] 26/9/2016 12:49

Programme delayed. £5m hole in the accounts?

HSBC downgrades to HOLD with 205p target.

That's all we need this am ...

Payed out £40mn for the year in dividends around 70% of earnings which was 14p so sitting on a 7.5% yield at 190. The exceptional cash cost of £5-8m announced yesterday along with further delay to the UK platform coud add up to at least £10mn - No small number it's 25% of the dividend.
"all areas of the business are (were) focused on ensuring this lands on time and with minimal disruption."
Looks like the market is pricing in a cut.

Some temporary irritations but a permanent derisking in getting FCA authorisation, may go up from here. Sector not doing great though which is not helping, bad update from Bonmarche today, but they have many shops to support and this has few.

[alex1621] 21/9/2016 16:06

Exceptional cash cost and delay to US launch? Not a great update ... 11 October update will be interesting ... but possibly not in a good way. Mmm.

[mister md] 20/9/2016 14:10

thought I had a bargain here at 200p - they'd better pay out that juicy dividend to compensate ...

[zcaprd7] 20/9/2016 09:23

When's the next set of disappointing news due? There must a bargain price for this at some point?

[alex1621] 14/9/2016 08:44

Having said that, Spindler, the CEO is under pressure to land the new IT platform successfully and start recouping some return on the investment. If my memory serves me right cap ex next year should be much smaller. I don't believe it will all be in place until 2017. The share price could drift further back on a poor update and the div is by no means a certainty to be maintained.But in balance, I think the strategy is the right one ... and I'm not for changing the CEO until the results of that strategy are clear to see ... which they are not at this moment. However, I understand the concerns.

[alex1621] 14/9/2016 08:38

What? After all the good he did saving Jewish people during World War II? A bit harsh. :-)

[dlku] 12/9/2016 14:45

get rid of schindler

[salpara111] 12/9/2016 12:26

They have been "turning around" this company for years now but pretty much every metric is still negative.
If the next set of results show real improvement then clearly it can re-rate back towards the 300 line but I am not betting on that happening so I am waiting to see what the results look like first.

[dahhad] 12/9/2016 09:05

Not now it doesn't nw99! But surely you will be proved right in due course.

[danieldruff2] 09/9/2016 13:42

Bad writeup in IC this week, probably accounts for weakness

[nw99] 09/9/2016 09:39
