Summertime
Ella Fitzgerald


Summertime, and the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'

So hush, little baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing

And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky

But till that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you

With daddy and mammy standin' by

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing

And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky

But till that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you

With daddy and mammy standin' by

Summertime, and the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'

So hush, little baby, don't you cry

Damp and boring.


Where is the nastyness and vitriol that we have grown used to?

No, according to me karim is a fraudster and has manipulated the stock and stolen money from shareholders. Branson did no such thing.
I cant blame Karim for wanting to hide his actions away from the public because he has (IMO) committed fraud and it was becoming more and more obvious to everyone...everyone except the incredibly stupid.

Some guys do not understand the benefits of being private. Read on:

Virgin’s Richard Branson, Hugh Hefner of Playboy and Michael Dell of the computer maker have all taken their companies private in the belief that they would fare better out of the glare of the markets.

Other well-known brands taken private by founders after a spell as a public company include Iceland, Caffè Nero and Matalan .

The main reasons for taking a company private include:

Getting away from the glare of publicity
A public company is just that – owned by external investors – mainly through pension and other investment funds that buy shares. Management therefore has to be publicly accountable and subject to scrutiny by investors and in the press. Most chief executives accept that attention but some company founders resent being in the spotlight. After Virgin floated in 1986 Richard Branson, an extrovert when it comes to marketing his products, never warmed to the task of explaining his finances and decisions to the City and two years later he took Virgin private again.

So according to kemch, zipster and co, Branson is Bonkers?

Bonkers. Stark raving.

If you are fuming about a loss on the Stockmarket, then you simply should not invest, not the game for you. Everyone will take a hit at some time.

One day further from David's final ADVFN post.

P*ssing Down !

[zipster241] 12/6/2019 11:22

why would investors who have lost all of their investment, be thinking about the savings 8PG will make by moving private ?

I would think they will be more concerned about never seeing any return at all.......You are a very strange character. Are you not bothered that this firm have stolen all of your cash ? I would be fuming............

[belt n braces] 11/6/2019 13:02

I will be very surprised if there are any trades via asset match.

However, on the theme of going from public to private, my football team, the great Aberdeen FC has just announced they intend to go private as this will help them raise additional funds from investors.

So being a PLC may not always be for the best, just think of all the savings 8PG now have not having to payout to brokers/nomads, etc.

[chinese investor] 11/6/2019 12:23

I just wonder why all those small PIs voted to go private !

[chinese investor] 11/6/2019 12:23

...and of course the Buyer will also have to fork out a minimum of £50 !

[chinese investor] 11/6/2019 12:22

I wish our punter who wants to sell 1,767 the best of luck !
I wonder what they'll spend their £35 on !

No Wait !

Asset Match will want £20.
Their Stockbroker will want a minimum of £30.

Doesn't leave much !

Bright and sunny after a night of rain.


But the weather's not the same without our main man.

[bionicdog] 11/6/2019 08:09

A lovely part of the world. Beware , pleasant days like this can lead to visits to garden centres rather than pubs.

I used to live in rural Surrey but for the last 24 hours I've been living at Sutton On Sea.

Sodden (soaking wet) An al fresco (outdoor) dinner party is totally out of the question.
