10/4/2015 13:48 | Best way to encourage us to sell would be to raise the price 650 would be fine with me | randomwalker | |
09/4/2015 19:08 | I feel/hoping something's cooking as the bid/offer prices over the past three days are unusually tight. Are they encouraging us to sell? | thehearse | |
03/4/2015 16:17 | Let's just hope that if they engage Dlar to print a new currency, they pay up front. They may not be able to pay with anything of any commercial value after the event. | redartbmud | |
03/4/2015 16:11 | Greece draws up drachma plans, prepares to miss IMF payment | cockneyrebel | |
11/3/2015 23:13 | Does anyone know whether there are any similarities in business models between DLAR and DNO? | thehearse | |
01/3/2015 12:19 | Well, it will be interesting to see the outcome. | james smith | |
01/3/2015 11:19 | It was indeed very strange how Lloyds somehow purchased HBOS at a time when HBOS was on the verge of collapse and RBS had already been taken over by HMG. Remember that LLoyds had earlier tried to take over Abbey National which was diminutive in size compared to HBOS and that this was blocked by the Monopolies Merger Commission. Yet HBOS was waved through rapidly. There does somehow and sometimes seem to be a firm but invisible hand on the tiller with certain commercial organisations in the UK which may or may not be in the so-called national interest. For me, I find the posts of certain participants on this board highly insightful, knowledgeable and speaking with a great wealth of experience which I find difficult not to learn from. On the topic of potential new currencies, it would appear to me strange and most unlikely if a certain country or countries had not already put in place advanced contingency or backup plans about new currency printing. Not sure at all whether those contingency measures will be called upon or implemented but the need to have those important measures in place seems very reasonable to me. Those contingency plans would come at a distinct cost and are unlikely to be borne by any currency printer in my view. ALL IMO. DYOR. QP | quepassa | |
01/3/2015 09:27 | James I congratulate you on your laudable attempts to defend a company for which you have a long association and great affection. Times have moved on in this brave new world. My observations are: 1. The company has badly misjudged the marketplace in which it operates. 2. The board has failed to deal with the serious problems that have been presented to them. 3. Nothing is sacred. Dlar does not have a divine right to survive, or remain a UK operation. If they cannot manage the business properly, they should be removed and replaced by those who can. red | redartbmud | |
28/2/2015 18:56 | I have no idea what they are doing with regard to the Greek Currency, if anything. It would make sense if they were unless of course someone else has the contract. de la Rue are in a unique position of trust with regards to foreign customers and indeed the British government. Falling into foreign hands would be unthinkable. They don't make chocolate, they make currency. Smart cards are not currency, mistake or not. Perhaps they realised that if the government opposed a take over they would be on a hiding to nothing whatever the legal basis. | james smith | |
28/2/2015 13:38 | JS -- assuming for a moment that DLAR is working on the new Greek currency prep....I imagine that it is DLAR who is absorbing the costs associated with that if Greece did not end up needing a new currency? What's the order of costs this may involve? When you say "not allowed to fall into foreign ownership" -- do you mean the government will block it? How would they go about it, legally? They were completely helpless with the Kraft takeover of Cadbury and arguably bungled up the whole thing. DLAR certainly seems to have made a major error of judgement when they sold the smart card division to Oberthur. Anyone know/guess why Oberthur insisted on getting BOD recommendation for the takeover rather than do a hostile takeover? | casual47 | |
27/2/2015 12:26 | At a time when this share is a little dull, some very interesting and colourful posts, especially about the history of de la rue. Well done! Keep it up. It's great stuff to read. The tales are on par with Ian Fleming! I want the next story. QP | quepassa | |
27/2/2015 12:06 | Fine -I have some shares and would like the share price higher -as would we all. | meijiman | |
27/2/2015 11:47 | Meijiman -- James S is not the one digging up slabs of text to "prove his point"....so who is the one with time on his hands? Let this car crash be over please, thank you | casual47 | |
27/2/2015 08:48 | You have way too much time on your hands-think you need to get out more. | meijiman | |
26/2/2015 22:22 | You have no case. You know nothing. I worked with these people from Gateshead to Dublin, USA, Colombia, Nigeria, India, Brazil and so on all round the world and your image is so way off the mark as to be absurd. | james smith | |
26/2/2015 22:14 | meiljiman LOL In 1975 the de la Rue head office was a pretty boring office block above some shops in Regent Street and the banknote division was in a brand new office block in Basinstoke on the industrial estate next door to the AA. I know, I worked in both them. I was Group Management Accountant for de la Rue International. The printing works were in Gateshead. You really are a numbskull. | james smith | |
26/2/2015 17:46 | Giles de la rue who was there from 1948 to1951.countless others as well. | meijiman | |
26/2/2015 16:50 | Come on meijiman, you little twerp, name me a chinless wonder from de la Rue's management. | james smith | |
26/2/2015 16:47 | So, who are you getting at? Arthur Norman maybe or Peter Orchard? From my memory neither of them chinless wonders. | james smith | |
26/2/2015 16:46 | So, I see: meijiman, you said "but used to specialise in employing chinless wonders from the right sort of school" and I stand corrected then. Always happy to bow before an expert such as yourself. I'm not talking recently but in the past-when you were in short trousers. and when you were in short trousers -no idea really. maybe you still wear them? So, you dated your knowledge to the time I was in short trousers but don't know when that was. On that basis you don't have a clue what or when you are talking about. What a prattling numbskull. | james smith | |
26/2/2015 14:36 | when you were in short trousers -no idea really. maybe you still wear them? | meijiman | |
26/2/2015 14:24 | LOL He won't answer. He's just a know nothing with a big mouth. | brer_rabbit |
