Melrose Industries Share Discussion Threads

Oi, Meanwhile! Where's that photo of your wallet you promised us? I've been waiting and waiting and - zilch. It's almost the only thing that keeps me looking in, de temps en temps because there's b- all about Melrose.

It's not my place to judge people on this site, Minerve or getting or anyone else.

"I hope that you never have that experience"

Oh yes, me too. :)

I wouldn't want to rely on the NHS with Boris and the Tory scum in power.

Minerve 10945

Making comments as in the above post shows what a disgusting person you really are. If you ever had someone close to you suffer and die from such an illness, you would know the pain, upset and distress that sufferers go through.

I hope that you never have that experience

Here is wishing you a happy brain tumour of a new year! LOL

If you do get one, let us know what your experience is in hospital, will you?

I gather the Tories, nearly ten years in power, haven't managed to sort the mess out yet.

Can't blame this one on Corbyn.

I guess its Big Foot's fault.

LOL

No, I decided I couldn’t stomach an evening with someone who keeps cuddling up to trolls wishing cancer on other posters (see Lloyds thread). Sickening behaviour frankly.

[brexitplus] 09/1/2020 08:27

Getting, have you arranged a date to travel to bandit country to meet the multi-personality poster yet?

One to watch, S4 Capital, headed by the excellent Martin Sorrell.

We now have the Cabinet Office failure to protect confidential information on the recipients of New Years Honours. The breach took 1 hour to correct so they obviously didn't find it themselves.

Again our local library's system can help here. After uploading a file to your website, you check that it has appeared, and in the form you desired. It takes 2 minutes.

I can't believe this wasn't a deliberate act.

My wife's shares in Balfour Beatty were little affected by the news of the company being sacked by MI6 from the renovation contract they were involved in.
BB reportedly lost some of the floor plans they had been allowed to draw up, from a so-called 'secure room' in the MI6 building.
Why MI6 are blaming Balfour for a failure of their own security is not clear.

Now our small local library have a system of signing and recording movements of all books & documents so they know the whereabouts of all books at any time, (except for any books stolen of course).

If there are any MI6 staff using this site, they can report back to their bosses that the local library's system can be made available to them free of charge.

Seems the world has got to hear about Halma!

NMC - I sold all at £33, bought same number of shares sold (£21.40) and sold all again (£24.90). The writing was on the wall as soon as Muddy Waters was mentioned in August - and a large number of newly created ramp bots on ADVFN exploded into action, 'promoting' the company with idiotic statements, so I got well out, thankfully.

Enjoy your break, GRS. Weather in UK is truly appalling this Autumn/Winter so I don't blame you for escaping!

[gettingrichslow] 27/12/2019 17:58

Afternoon all, just landed in the Canaries in the hope of a break from the drizzle, and it has certainly delivered so far. Car says it’s 30 degrees!

Yertiz, I thought we agreed to not tell anyone about Halma!! Did you sell your NMC Health before the implosion?

Off out to one of our favourite Italian restaurants tonight by the sea - as B+ would say ‘all is right with the world’...

Reviewing my portfolio has shown the 3 most profitable shares in 2019 (so far) are:

IWG up 107%
HALMA up 103%
SEGRO up 57% (in 7 months)

Sold and rebought Melrose shares twice this year, this has boosted the paper profit to over 50% in 4 months and released a large wadge of cash as this was a huge constituent of my portfolio.

Dogs I hold are:
RDSB up 6.3%
RELX up 3.3%
Tate and Lyle up 14.7%

Tips for 2020:

SEGRO
Melrose
4Imprint

2019 has been an impressive year with my portfolio up over 30%. Happy and successful New Year to you all.

Rockrose. Too dependent on the oil price for my liking.

[bigalan3] 27/12/2019 16:05

Dear All,
Thank you for your advice.
35 years of experience tell me this is an excellent investment - but I may be wrong.
Valued at restricted cash. Producing 22,000 barrels of oil per day.
CEO Andrew Austin owns 29.9999% of the shares. He is about acquisitions, above their existing market cap, in the North Sea.
They suspend the shares on acquisition - they then come back about 2.5 x time
share price. It is about poo and making the correct acquisition(s).
Worth a look.

[meanwhile] 27/12/2019 15:46

Yes, an interesting prospect, bigalan3.

Of course, many would advise you not to put too big a chunk of investment in one company, especially a small company and in an uncertain sector.

I'm personally not of that mind. You're not going to make a fortune spreading your money across a wide range of industry sectors, like backing all the runners in a single horse race, so I've always put most of my eggs in a single, well-researched basket.

[yertiz] 27/12/2019 15:01

Interesting, bigalan3. RRE look to be fairly cash rich in an industry ridden with debt and highly dependent on POO. Good luck with your investment, but until the effect of the reverse takeover of Marathon becomes clearer, investment in RRE is a bit of a lottery. Good to see they are now paying a decent dividend though.

[bigalan3] 27/12/2019 09:07

Dear All,
Thank you for your very rigorous analysis of my rather meaningless prediction.
What is far more important is the Rockrose energy (rre) price at the end of the coming year.
Rockrose energy is by far my biggest investment and I suggest you might want to look at it. Many on the interweb said it will be life changing and I am sure they are right.
Happy New Year Everyone.

[meanwhile] 25/12/2019 20:54

getting,
You’re absolutely correct on the rules of the share price contest. Please accept my apologies.

Now on your question - ‘Do I ever get anything right’?

Yes, frequently. I was right, for example, to keep all my investment capital in MRO at the beginning of this year and not to put a large amount of this investment into Burford Capital or MINUS900.

[gettingrichslow] 25/12/2019 20:33

Meanwhile, do you ever get anything right??
The invitation for entries clearly stated that entries must be submitted by 5pm on 01 Dec (see original post below). Bigalan missed this deadline, therefore his entry was excluded. It’s really not that complicated. So it’s your lack of attention to detail and carelessness that has led you to believe I have a lack of attention to detail isn’t it???? Now back to my turkey sandwiches. 🦃 🦃

Right, it’s that time of year again - time for the traditional Christmas share price prediction competition!

The question is: “What will the closing share price be on Christmas Eve 2019?�;

Submissions by 5pm Sunday 01 December please?

I believe the last 2 champions were Casey the Dog and Mattboxy but I may have got that wrong.

The winner gets a night out with Meanwhile in the Wrexham Wetherspoons.

[meanwhile] 25/12/2019 15:41

So getting got the result of the contest for MRO's Christmas share price wrong. bigalan3's post of 2nd Dec. states :-

"My estimate for year end is 242 p. If there is any hint they might sell Norton then it could be a lot higher."

If I hadn't recently reformed my behaviour on this site, I would have said that this was a very typical case of getting's carelessness and lack of attention to detail, spanning all areas, including matters relating to investments.
However, I have reformed so I wouldn't say it. I leave it open for others to say.

But I can congratulate bigalan3 on his successful prediction.
Nick Robinson has now also been pulled out. He wanted a paid Taxi from London to Wrexham. The vacancy has been taken by the duo of Minerve and Vince Cable. The prize also comes with a passport-size wallet photo.

Angela never had the invite, she's at my place for Xmas dinner.

[meanwhile] 25/12/2019 09:30

bigalan3,
I’m sorry to say that Angela Rippon has cancelled.
The BBC’s Nick Robinson will take her place.
