Corbyn implying MRO are asset strippers.
Bit rich coming from someone who would use the state to take wealth from anyone who has more than a few quid to their name.

MEANWHILE. Do you remember Mystic Meg? Well I think we should call the old boy Mystic M. It’s amazing how he can weigh us so well up without ever meeting or speaking with us. Amazing.

He’s absolutely correct of course. I’ve never had a proper job, lost me last employment as a shelf stacker in Tesco through drink so me and the missus and five kids live on benefits in our Council house. I smoke 40 a day, drink too much. To try and raise me self-esteem I post here a pretend that I’m someone that I’m not. Sad I know. Parasite, as he called me, yes. And I really don’t know anything about engineering or anything else really. The booze really mucks up the brain you know.

I know I’ve got lots of problems but one thing I know I don’t suffer from is NPD.

Off to get another tattoo. On me benefits of course.

Well done, my friend.

[brexitplus] 20/2/2018 12:19

Agree. I’d include Bernard Manning in the mix. Not someone you would want to be friends with, or indeed an acquaintance or in fact neighbour.

Really top job there teaching prison inmates. You are a real high-flyer. I wish I could have done that by going to such a class university instead of Ponty. LOL

[meanwhile] 20/2/2018 12:14

Yes, he's completely lost it now.
I would best describe him as a cross between Vince Cable & Little Jimmy Krankie.

MRO picking up a little now.

MEANWHILE. I’m sitting here wetting myself with laughter. The poor old soul has definitely had too much and lost it.

Definitely double glazing, or perhaps cleaning sewers. There’s money in that I’m told.

Don’t reply. Am going to change my name to BREXITPlusPlus asap.

Back to some real ethical investing based on decent moral values - see you later folks.

[minerve] 20/2/2018 11:11

MEANWHILE

Yes, you went to university and as soon as you left personal development halted. It is completely obvious to me that that is the case. What have you done since old boy?

Made £250K from Melrose. Woopy doo!

Is that all?

I really don't think you are in a position to judge intellect Little Englander. LOL

[brexitplus] 20/2/2018 11:03

MEANWHILE. Your brain certainly isn’t in the same league as the old boy’s. I would say yours is far superior. Unless you suffer from the inability to be civil to people.

Do you think the old boy is a a Scot? Would explain the chip on his shoulder.

[meanwhile] 20/2/2018 10:58

Minverve,

Thank you for your advice on these important matters.
Perhaps my brain isn't in the same league as yours.
As I think I mentioned before, I had applied for a degree course at Pontypridd Polytechnic but was rejected as not meeting the standard, so had to settle for Univ. of London and York instead.

[minerve] 20/2/2018 10:40

MEANWHILE

Shouldn't you be helping your son stack the shelves today? I think your brain is best suited to such matters. Obviously your son understands your true family position in life.


Packet of crisps and a newspaper, while you are at it, old boy!

[minerve] 20/2/2018 10:37

Different business different size different skills.

I know Melrose has made you some pocket money but you really do need to start thinking about what is best for all of us rather than where you are going to get your poxy little holiday money from this year or how you are going to buy a corner shop.

We don't want a bunch of restyled asset strippers taking our industry for their own selfish greed.

Vince Cable's imaginery friend & stooge is back I see, swearing and ranting as usual. These men of conscience are always so despairing and miserable.
It reminds me of Woody Allen's quote, which I think he made at a jazz concert in Pontypridd, :“There are two types of people in this world, good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more.” I suppose Monivera sleeps well, but has miserable days.

MRO. It seems that these results have given MRO shares a bit of a boost, and raisied the bid price a little, but it happened last Wednesday & Thursday, presumably when the important people learnt the results, before the small investors did. I had hoped for a bit more, but it may yet come, although not today by the looks of it.

GKN aside, the problem with current MRO shares is that a doubling of Nortek profits has long been in the price, most coming with announcement of the rights issue in 2016. So today's results, however good, are already taken.
If the GKN bid is successful, and I expect a doubling of GKN value would then be forseen (although perhaps over 3-5 years in this case), the question is at what point, or points, would we see this expectation reflected in the MRO share price.

Monovere, please don't comment.

[brexitplus] 20/2/2018 10:19

Very low volumes for both this morning. Analysts meeting at 11am. The battle lines are set. GKN results next week will be interesting. Margin of only 7.4%, well below the consensus expected will be a talking point, particularly as Melrose have driven up the Nortek margin a lot.

Regarding Brush, I notice it is still making an operating profit with a margin of 8% which is more than GKN

[minerve] 20/2/2018 09:49

"Everything was pretty well known about Brush from the update on 1st Feb."

Ah, I see. That makes it alright then. LOL
