Rathbones Share Discussion Threads

it has an excellent track record.....and the UBS acquisition of laing and bang increases interest in these sorts of situation....this will move through 850p ahead of the figures as ...as you say.....its highly geared and tightly held!

Although this firm runs some exciting unit trusts -like Special Situations it is primarily a discretionary funds business. Last year its profit margins slipped and the cashflow generated of £15mn was weaker than in the past possibly due to the effects of large acquisitions. Results will come out in early March and it is hard to guess what they will be- though I am an optimist here. The company has almost no paid up share capital and massive intangible assets (which amazingly it is amortising over 20 years) so the share price bounces quite strongly with sentiment though I would guess it is not traded very much. Do you buy shares with 91% gearing (excluding intangibles-81% allowing intangibles)? Only if you have seen the whites of the eyes of the senior directors I venture.

What caused the slide? or alternatively what caused it to rise from the 600 level? Any one know?

Just look at the chart boys....plenty more to go for!

I just sold my gold and put it into Rathbones Special Situations.
This made me think of RAT and I suppose that with NMS at 1000 I need £8,000 in a self select ISA. Any ideas for finding it?

I think there is a picture of Haystack on some bbs..may be a good idea to put it on the header..I think Lesk/Aimraider is in the process of finding out his home address for any of you who want to pay him a 'friendly' visit. LAH ;-}

Haystack's real name is Gregory Paul Hayes
D.O.B : 31.12.1946

I exist to enlighten the ignorant and I can see that I've got my work cut out with you.

Karma.

You went to a lot of trouble to tell me that I bore you. Surely if someone really did bore you you wouldn't answer.

Also, you may not be bothering with me again but what happens if I bother with you?

...and you don't like a challenge. You like everyone to agree with you and it is my opinion that people who are unable to discuss issues in an even-handed way really are ignorant.

You live in an eggshell world Karma, I exist to enlighten the ignorant and I can see that I've got my work cut out with you.

Sleep tight Karma, it's been fun.
