Close Bros has been a big car finance funder and now the FCA is wading in on historical commission payments to car dealers going back as far as 2007. Along with other banks, Close could end up with a big compensation bill.

Of course thanks very much

Close Brothers Group thought about it and still thinking but will wait a while

Do I really need another bargain of a lifetime or another disappointing impulse buy

By election results won t have me doing cartwheels

Conserving cash is my bag for time being

Never heard of Coats Banking Group, Jim. Do you mean Close Bros?

[jubberjim] 15/2/2024 10:52

Haven t got enough problems in sock drawer at moment

Coats Banking Group has popped up

Am in two minds whether to get in now or hold off for a bit

Price has taken a tumble dividend cancelled sound familiar to anyone

My sort of share but will stick with ones I ve got

[heatseek77] 15/2/2024 07:17

Jim also thinks you need to give Justin a chance

[heatseek77] 15/2/2024 07:17

Jim what's your price?

[jubberjim] 15/2/2024 06:57

Armand, Heineken.

Everywhere I look I see more news which is not inspiring me.

Will hang on for as long as possible but will sell and take the hit unless things improve.

Holding out on hope ? but have basically given these up as a bad job.

Give me some good news !

Will sleep a lot better when this manages to break up through 35 but is not looking good to me

New years resolutions over and done with with very little upside evident so far .

We are now fast approaching the run up to Easter with again similar abstinence resolutions for the next month or so.

These shares and others have been in hibernation and I don t believe in any significant change for the better anytime soon.

Hopefully when the new tax year dawns investors will wake from their slumbers and again partake .

Has been a long hard winter so far.

The sock drawer is feeling the cold

Hanging on for time being.

Good luck

Does anyone know if they sold that package of 61 Freehold PH's last year..
Christie's were selling agents?

[boffster] 06/2/2024 16:55

Recent revamped menu looks to be an improvement.. it was somewhat behind the GNK offering before IMO but is now up to par.

[heatseek77] 05/2/2024 09:31

disco thanks for that essentially though wellcome have bought what Morgan sold....
Anyway 👍🏻 that the neds partner has bought a £25k block too

[disc0dave46] 02/2/2024 17:38

Well spotted, hadn't looked tbh. Both are working out that there's 187m shares in issue rather than 634m.

[darrin1471] 02/2/2024 16:12

"Total number of voting rights held in issuer" looks wrong on both holding RNS

[disc0dave46] 02/2/2024 14:07

Don't know what you are reading but they are share purchases / sales not swaps.

[heatseek77] 02/2/2024 13:14

disco looks like swaps....

[disc0dave46] 02/2/2024 12:08

*bulk not bull

[disc0dave46] 02/2/2024 12:08

The 31st RNS was Morgan Stanley selling just over 1%.The 1st Feb RNS was Welcome Trust buying 1.2% (I guess the bull could have been Morgan Stanley's sale?).

[heatseek77] 02/2/2024 10:48

disco there's 2 RNS 31st & 1st

[disc0dave46] 02/2/2024 10:19

NopeIt's 1.2% circa 7.6m shares and bought on 30th not 31st (that was the date of notification).

[heatseek77] 02/2/2024 09:22

So welcome trust bought 1.2m shares on 31st then 👍🏻

[heatseek77] 31/1/2024 08:49

Dex would add though circa £2bn in assets 👍🏻

A couple of them around here were pubs before JDW took them over, but many are converted from previous uses as they want a larger footprint than most tradditional pubs. I suspect the majority of Marstons pubs that they may want to offload are probably too smal.

[darrin1471] 25/1/2024 15:27

I can't think of a single location locally where JDW have bought a pub off another operator. JDW normally buy or lease a non pub building and spend £1m+ making it into a pub.
JDW have been shrinking their pub estate for a few years now, so Tim Martin talking about 1000 pubs again raised a few eyebrows.
I hold £1 in MARS shares for every £6 I hold in JDW. I have be waiting for a MARS breakout since November 2022
