who is Malcolm Clearly ?

[umitw] 28/11/2017 10:02

Why did the price drop 5% yesterday?

[wad collector] 27/11/2017 17:02

Thought it was a reference to the deceased Chair , whose gender is not immediately obvious from the name.Manjit.
Not Malcolm. Clearly .

[masurenguy] 27/11/2017 16:10

Transgender !

[dexdringle] 27/11/2017 16:09

Mr Malcolm Le May is a she ? Crikey. Has anyone told him ?

[wad collector] 27/11/2017 15:57

Um....he is a she.

Interesting appointment. The blunt end of it is that he was part of the Bridge Watch team during the period in which PFG adopted and executed a catastrophically bad strategic re-organisation. If it didn't go to the Board then the inner workings of the company are unsound.

Independents always argue they have no responsibility for Operating the company, only strategy and compliance oversight. Both the strategy and the execution were so far from good as to be future examples in (mis)management workshops looking at how not to do it.

Compliance failing in PFG to assess and manage the Risk only poor petrol on the fire.

Hopefully he voted against the strategic reorg, had nothing to do with the Risk function of the Board and equally hopefully, non of his affiliations had anything to do with it.

Very sad about passing of Chair. Provident in need of high profile CEO appointment asap imo.

smurfy / s2 - Yes quite a shock and only 53.

[s2lowner] 24/11/2017 09:13

Yes very sad

Tragic RNS RIP

426.60 p was the lowest in 52 weeks share price.

[gregsc] 20/11/2017 16:23

I bought at 458, lowest price I could get.

[umitw] 20/11/2017 13:09

Ever went down to 10p, I think it was 450p or around that figure!

[yazoo1] 20/11/2017 11:04

This may be a daft question but the chart shows a momentary drop to <10p/share. Any idea what causes this and whether any trades actually go through at this price? Thanks and apologies if a simple answer!

[umitw] 14/11/2017 08:15

How first class manipulation of shares being demonstrated this morning. The gap closed @ £8 ..!

[umitw] 07/11/2017 08:57

It is technical IMO..!

[hopefulalways] 07/11/2017 08:29

Why would it break out. There has been no good news.

[umitw] 07/11/2017 08:19

I think PFG is due for a break out!

[ccnp] 02/11/2017 15:22

0.5% for PFG borrowers is way lower than a rounding error.

A vague possibility more funds come into UK that PFG can lay their hands on through the MMs but the exchange rate reaction hasn't helped that thought.

[umitw] 02/11/2017 12:01

Is this going to effect PFG ..?

[umitw] 02/11/2017 12:01

Interest rates are now .5% for UK
