posters remember their is a bod and non directors who are their to speak out
all they have done is be silent that is not their roll , they get paid tpo make sure the company is run correctly it is not , we need a statement from the chairman

or is he dead

I'm leaving these alone for 3 years to build up not taking dividends but buying with the dividends I see where we are then .

This company will not recover under conn. The city doesn't like his strategy and he's running out of things to sell to fund the future dividends. Said it before and will say it again this is going bellow a pound

141 I know exactly how you feel mitchy. Best of luck

[portside1] 09/4/2019 10:14

all will be ok soon be in reverse ,

[mitchy] 09/4/2019 10:10

To all those who've shared today thank you. It's helped. Maybe we can start a " fund us " fund . But who's going to donate to people who've enough savings to buy shares in the first place? Bottom line is I can afford the loss I just HATE losing money.

[portside1] 09/4/2019 09:57

mitchy . do like do if a share falls sell 25% then if they fal lower buy them back gaining a few more then if they go back up a little sell them again keep doing that you will be surprised how you reduce your holdings loses

[mitchy] 09/4/2019 09:46

I've decided to set a stop loss . 105p and I'm out. Or I could just cash and wait till after Brexit (if it ever comes).

[666james] 09/4/2019 09:38

sorry to read your early morning post mitchy. We have all been there and it is not good. I am only in for a few thousand at £1.45 so not too troubling. At the moment this share is a dog but I will sit it out until it drops a lot lower if only for the divi. Good luck Mitchy.

[jordaggy] 09/4/2019 09:38

Mitchy, I moved most of my money into funds...now I sleep better. Shares are only great to hold when on the rise, but I've also been badly stung when they reverse. These will come good one day.

[mitchy] 09/4/2019 09:37

Who would have thought that buying into a solid blue chip company earning good profits and INCREASING profitswould cost us all so much ? This was supposed to be a SAFE low risk low return stock. An alternative toalmost zero interest on a savings account.

[careful] 09/4/2019 09:35

mitchy
Think twice before dumping.
we investors know of your pain.
It forces us into the wrong moves to bring the pain to an end.

But how will you feel in 6 months time if the share recovers after you have sold.
I suffer as much pain when dumping shares followed by a recovery, as I do when buying shares that fall.

Fight it, go out and buy some more, sod it.
Are you a man or a mouse?
( pass me the cheeseboard)

Having spent last night reading up on cna's contingency plans for a No DealBrexit it looks like they are as prepared as any . I'm non the wiser really though .Another extension or some kind of deal or even revoking of article 50 seems like the preferred choice.But I don't know. I'm just not bright enough to figure it all out.

[snorky123] 09/4/2019 09:18

Your health is more important than any share, if you can move forwards with your life and selling makes you feel better, that would be my choice. I have been in the same boat over the years and now only invest what does not give me unnecessary grief

[mitchy] 09/4/2019 09:12

Thank you for your kind words . Really don't know what to do. Although down its not terminal as the lloytrades recently helped. I know the relief would be massive if I closed. Good Luck.

[snorky123] 09/4/2019 09:11

As much as I feel for any investor who has lost money I have lost more than I care to mention. Sadly on my opinion this share has no upside presently as the dividend is not sustainable as there is no div cover. The sooner the div is cut to say 8p them we can move forward, at this rate the shares will be slowly pushed down as the market does not like the current div policy amongst other weaknesses.

[nortic 007] 09/4/2019 09:06

It's times like this when all seems lost that things can turn around. Don't know what will happen here but never let it take over your life. One positive could easily turn this oil tanker around but it'll take time.Good luck

[susiebe] 09/4/2019 08:55

mitchy I hope you can hang on here.Conn owes us all and if he cant deliver then he should do the honorable thing.Even though its down terribly sentiment can change.Better times will come.

[tim 3] 09/4/2019 08:42

Mitchy like many on here always comes across as an honest and genuine poster.

Hope things get better for you.

[diku] 09/4/2019 08:28

mitchy...I admire your honesty if true...hope you recover some or all of the money back...

[diku] 09/4/2019 08:26

A 2 tier system set up which is in favour of the insiders...and they never get sacked for underperformance...instead a golden goodbye onto the next project as they might just see their pals again... there is a disconnect from share price performance to company performance...and never CEO at fault...always out factors or others...makes you wonder why bother dealing in shares...you are actually paying for insiders lifestyle...

[tim 3] 09/4/2019 08:19

Totally agree shareholders lost millions, jobs lost and Conn pockets a 44% pay rise absolutely disgraceful.
