Two posts from Ryelodge in one day!! Well done Ryelodge! Ryelodge has posted 81 times in the last 18 years, so his performance today represents over six months worth. Quite an effort today I think we would all agree. Well done again Ryelodge, really great work.

RR? BUR? Don't understand the comment.

[jackdaw4243] 14/8/2019 19:47

Not for me , Red ,dark Red and Red. could have been worse, not in BUR or RR.

Great day on the market folks. MRO steaming ahead. Still in love with Humpty Trumpty? ROFLMAO!

Same meat different gravy!! ( 25 million shares traded.}

ryelodge, You say "MRO has two hotshot house brokers -- they need to do their job." I must say it looks as though they're not doing their job but we must remember that Melrose are 'smartened up asset strippers' and it remains an activity not to be bragged about, or even openly spoken about. The value of MRO has no reliance on day to day trading of GKN, Nortek or the other bits but it depends entirely on what price MRO can get for the bits when it sells them off, although, of course, there is some relationship between the two. I see no reason to buy MRO for GKN's or Nortek's rather boring future prospects. There's little reason to buy MRO except for a likely good profit from eventual disposals, whenever these may come, but nobody wants to wait for that these days.

ryelodge, such apparently irrational movements in MRO have always been a mystery to me, from way back, long before GKN was acquired. These long silences from the Company do not help. Today's fall just reverses the recovery made yesterday on Trump's announcement. Now to gravy. My advice is to not use giblets as a source of meat essence in preparing a gravy and to not add French wine as some EU lovers do. If you do want to add some liquor to the gravy, try a bit of Mackeson or other stout.

MRO tops FTSE fallers (again} on low volume.Last week price stable on 50+million share trade day. What are the traders up to? MRO has two hotshot house brokers -- they need to do their job.

Meanwhile, I’m not sure your gravy-related posts are going down too well on the Burford board? Maybe you could try your ‘hvs’ character out on the Burford board??

There is no dispute around the existence of global warming. I understand the causes are being proposed, discussed and disputed.

[jackdaw4243] 12/8/2019 14:08

And to day we are saying "Global Warming" does not exist.

That Socrates theory is a bit out of date now. When that was said, they thought the world was flat.

”I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know. —attributed to Socrates, from Plato, Apology: Before Dunning Kruger was diagnosed .

These long-running disputes involving a number of regular posters, around their investment successes, levels of honesty, demanding of respect etc. are driving me into a depression, a particular weakness to which I am prone and have to bear. The truth of the matter is that none of you posters come close to me with regard to level of intellect, investment skills, levels of success therein, honesty, decency, integrity and a number of other commomly admired qualities. I am also extremely good looking, by the way. Now just accept this conclusion and let this be an end to these disputes. Just all get along.

[sliotar] 09/8/2019 12:48

Oh please. No split infinitives.

[brexitplus] 09/8/2019 09:55

Yes, back to the good old times, Porky demanding respect.😂

Minny has just been labelled "the biggest prat on ADVFN" - and not by me!!! And he is DEMANDING respect from people again, dear oh dear...

"I have been in this business over 20 years." Hahaha. In Settlements maybe.

[minerve 2] 09/8/2019 07:56

No because when I said less than 2% I was only a few months into the position. I do have stocks that remain at about 2% which are long holdings. A bullish share would occupy more. Brexit was SO BULLISH about Bur yet could only find himself enough courage to buy less than 1% in about 18 months. That doesn't sound like a bull to me. It smacks of someone who has no courage or faith in their own choices. Anyway, enough conversation with you today. I have wasted enough time on you already.

Yes, it's safe to say his love affair with Woodford is over! Very funny! 😂😂😂😂8514;😂ԅ14;😂😂;😂😂😂
