Sub 200p is a bargain.

I should have sold this morning with a small loss

Careful. No Rolls-Royce workers are not currently laid off on 80% scheme. I work there and they gave us one week off on full pay while they reassess H&S procedures and do a deep spray clean with a view to starting back as normal next week on revised working practices . This applies only to civil aerospacee section of business as defence and I think Nuclear are business as usual

This whole emergency package where the taxpayer pay the wages of laid off workers, with conditions restricting share buy backs, dividends, bonuses, is a sort of socialism.

Are the RR workers currently laid off being paid by the HMG scheme?

HMG will use taxpayers money to keep key businesses alive, but as last time with RR. and in 2008 the banks, it will not be a free gift to the business owners (shareholders).

It is not RR fault, but neither is it the governments.

---------------- Covid-19 a very insidious virus ------------------



The Covid-19 situation is bad enough in this first wave sweeping through various continents and ALL countries of the Globe.


However till a treatment and cure is found then after lock downs are removed


There is a very real IMO chance of a second wave of infections which would then lead to a second tranche of lock downs

Therein lies the nub of the Covid-19 problem

Circa 25% of people with Covid-19 do not show any symptoms and do not even know they have got it BUT they are spreading it to others .


buywell believes some FTSE100 constituents may have to be nationalized

RR. went bust once before, in about 1971 or thereabouts. I believe it was trying to develop a carbon fibre bypass fan for the RB.211 engine. Breaking technology at the time. Huge problems I think to do with damage survivability and they spent all their money on it to no end.

The government stepped in to save it.

They use titanium fan blades nowadays.

St.Petersburg Russia 2017.
After the Russian revolution the stock market went down to zero.
Investors used to paper their toilet walls with share certificates.

I know an investor who used to hold certificates and framed his share certificates of Northern Rock, Woolworths and Eurotunnel, all failed companies.
Hanging the wall to remind him that he was not that smart.

I was lucky buying BP Shell recently.

The one problem that can be easily fixed by America, Saudi and Russians agreeing to cut supply.
The problem is that American shale producers expect the other 2 to cut to leave them to pump like crazy with better prices.

Saudi, Russia refuse, and who can blame them.
America are the biggest producers at 13m barrels per day.

A deal will be reached.
Reduced demand but 2m barrels per day each will fix it.

[teamwork1] 02/4/2020 12:10

I missed out on BP I regret not buying bp

[ny boy] 02/4/2020 12:09

Happy to accumulate here, added more 280p, have been doing the same with BP, IAG & VOD, taking a 2-5 year time frame for a 50/100% return..CV is a temporary thang!

Who knows Big1day

Someone was asking about "Rights issue" chatter...so I merely linked what I had read.

Havent an opinion myself on this

Don't think we will find a bottom before US coronavirus figures peak. A rally, then a fall again until the dust settles and we see what the consequences of the shutdown are.
I second wave of coronavirus in the Autumn likely to result in an overreaction by the markets.
Economic and financial impact of 2020 will take 5 years+ to fully recover from.
RR. share price likely to double or quadruple but from what point is the question.
Just an opinion.

ADVFN financials quote 31.7bn at end 2019.
After taking offsetting items into account cash, cash flow, stocks, debtors its it looks like about £20bn.

A bit scary in todays situation.
Company valued at below £6bn.

[tricky1992000] 02/4/2020 10:33

How much debt on the books?

[careful] 02/4/2020 10:30

There was talk of needing to improve the balance sheet before the virus panic.
RR. Must be working on these things now.
