I haven't lost any money? Who has lost money?

Me thinks it is you on PURP and more specifically PLUS. They aren't getting back to anything near where you bought in you numpty!

ROFLMAO!

[minerve 2] 23/4/2019 18:36

I could, but I'm not. Short term gilts are good enough for a small part of my portfolio.

Buffett understands. You don't. ;)

[gettingrichslow] 23/4/2019 18:34

You could buy some more of those negative yielding bonds too!

If losing a load of money on a complete dog is your way of managing risk then you might as well give up now Porky!

[minerve 2] 23/4/2019 18:23

Posted twice old boy. You could call me Minerve2, that would be nice.

You know absolutely nothing about risk management and it shows. Oh yes it does. It screams out loud to those that know what they are doing!

ROFLMAO!

Porky is around £35k down here now by interpolating various statements he has made. Poor investing from the one who's stated aim was 'to not lose any money'!

Aren’t you being over optimistic when you say “Bankrupt in 12 months.”

[minerve 2] 23/4/2019 17:50

"what a short this has been"

But you are not a shorter. Never mind eh? One can pretend you are in the big league. ;)

[porsche1945] 23/4/2019 17:45

Wouldnt take too much notice of either Itcm or Minerve, both a couple of deadbeats, what a short this has been, nice to see usual business resumed. Bankrupt in 12 months.

[minerve 2] 23/4/2019 13:19

You either think there is value in the current price or you don't. It is very simple. Which direction the share price goes in over the next day, week, month or year is irrelevant and you might as well just ask a clairvoyant.

[ltcm1] 23/4/2019 09:49

Guys does anyone look at the chart??? You can see the trend has been down for years.

Fair play if you can see the reversal coming as Minerve claims to. However isn't it prudent to wait for confirmation in the share price and buy then???

To me it looks like Minerve is trying to catch a falling knife here.

As long as it is T&M, out of control costs are fine by me

"Porky" - Another word you used to hear in the school playground. Obviously some haven't developed much further than their school years.

Porsche and Brexitplus, the two pelicans who do not know the difference between a house you live in, and a bridge you cross!

Some ignorant posters here, Kier tied up with Crossrail for one, but not all construction companies tarred with the same brush, at least GFRD realise that their civil construction side needs to be rationalised, at least they have a great business in Linden Homes along with a regeneration business, many of the big civil companies do not have that luxury, this being one of them to some degree. But anyone working on HS2 better beware, that is the next Crossrail, years overdue and costs out of control!

[gettingrichslow] 18/4/2019 18:16

There are problems in all elements of rail at the moment Porky. WS Atkins are struggling, Siemens are struggling, particularly in the signalling side but also in consultancy. Costain in civils and track. So when you imply there is no broader problem you are showing your ignorance I'm afraid.

[minerve 2] 18/4/2019 09:33

"Relates to the construction industry in general."

What does?

What a chimp.

[brexitplus] 18/4/2019 08:28

Relates to the construction industry in general.

[nomdeplume] 18/4/2019 08:20

The delay is with the signaling system and this is the responsibility of Siemens and Invensys. In what way is your post relevant to Kier?

[brexitplus] 18/4/2019 07:06

Crossrail opening delayed until 2021?!!!

[minerve 2] 17/4/2019 22:46

If I accepted every bit of anecdotal evidence and used it as part of my judgement I wouldn't own any shares for a reasonable length of time. Having problems is all part of a company's life and should be accepted. If the problems are serious they will become apparent in the regular channels. Just execute good risk management and limit the percentage of all companies in your portfolio. You will sleep easy at night. I do. If Kier fell flat on its back it will make no difference to my plans this year, next year or forever.

Hi Minerve, I'll find out for sure later in the week when i see some of the Kier direct labour guys.

I do believe the company is poor to work for, as in T&C's, difficuly in obtaining PPE, but then it's the same with MUS & KN-Group ( the latter i believe is/has took over kier? )
