Net assets. £4.436bn.
Market cap. £2.21bn.

still profitable with a £10bn t/o and a good dividend even assuming a cut.
decent cash flow.

These are strange times in the market, it is all about sentiment.

People do not really think that Corbyn will get to power do they?

Someone know something ahead of tomorrows results.
But trading volumes are light.

Must be shorters, who would sell at this price?

Changes are coming shortly. It was agreed when they floated that they should make between 5 and 10% net profit. The next results will show a drop well below that. It's up to to regulator to change the rules and help RM back to that figure in order to protect the USO.

If RMG had genuine commercial freedom and commercially educated managers the business could be very successful, but alas it has neither of these things. It's trapped by government policy that works heavily against it, and the civil service mentality of the managers.

Will go sub 100p

Busted flush business model with lazy staff. Seen it with my own eyes.

Cheap these not bought these since the day of the IPO held for 6 min 2 x 237 if I recall :)

If you purchase the bar code postage on line, and the mail box opens upon recognising the bar code, then surely it is very easy to put a malicious box into the system using a stolen card?

Certainly deserves credit for trying it out, I hope it works without mishaps.

[ignoble] 20/5/2019 15:16

Could someone not steal the whole box ?

[buywell3] 20/5/2019 13:46

And the market doesn't like it

[hermanngoring] 20/5/2019 12:39

Farage should be PM. A great bloke.

[joe say] 20/5/2019 10:45

Hopefully

if not, then PM

[encarter] 20/5/2019 10:23

Labour won't get in. We will have a Conservative Brexit part coalition. Farage will be deputy PM.

[creditcrunchies] 20/5/2019 09:05

I feel for people that have these they're a long way lower than the offer price in 2013 the dividends over 6 years make this about break even

[muffinhead] 20/5/2019 08:27

yank my chain

[buywell3] 20/5/2019 08:19

Because Labor will nationalize it

[hermanngoring] 20/5/2019 08:03

Massive broker downgrade.

[joe say] 20/5/2019 07:58

The morals (or rather lack of) of remoaners there for all to see

[oiht] 19/5/2019 16:42

I'm with you on the EU question Porsche, only a fool would vote to end all that cheap labour from the continent, subsidised by the British taxpayer. I've got a large FTSE100 portfolio providing a very nice dividend stream thank you, if the constituent companies had to start paying proper wages to their staff I'd be screwed.

Viva Jean-Claude!

edit: Oh! and the best bit of all - I don't pay any income tax, at all. Ha ha ha stupid knuckle-draggers.

[carlsagan1] 19/5/2019 15:59

ii have decided to up there fees again and from june 10th its £9.99 a month up from £22.50 a quarter

Can recommend a cheaper broker?

I am considering going to iweb-sharedealing(Halifax) for a fixed £5 a trade or X-O(Jarvis) for £5.95, neither have monthly, yearly, or inactivity fees like ii

I invest long term and dont want to pay for months I dont trade

[porsche1945] 18/5/2019 13:10

@careful. Point well made but I doubt anything you will say to the knuckle dragging self harming brexit morons will be understood with their fairly limited IQ. Brexit sxxtshow an impoverishing mess that will achieve little except making the country poorer, ripping up a forty year trade agreement with the biggest world trading block, that we helped build, insanity. UK exports more to rep of ire than china, pathetic and not the fault of the eu. Brexit was a protest vote by the long suffering great unwashed but ironically its they who are now and will be in the future, hardest hit. Weak sterling destroying living standards. Corbyn hopeless but I doubt he could do much worse than Cameron unleashing this mess on the rest of us.

[porsche1945] 18/5/2019 13:04

@fred flange, divi may not be cut next week but it will be cut fairly soon. Rmg a political football and headcount too high, all those expensive pensions and benefits, its a declining business model, like most of the hopeless capital destructive ftse 350.

[hermanngoring] 16/5/2019 11:55

As I have always said if the marxist terror loving Corbyn gets into power he will nationalise RM for peanuts.
