It could very well be Net, it looks like him and probably smells like him but it could just as likely be a photo of our great (hic) leader DC's reaction to hearing about Sam and Boris' ongoing get togethers...yikes...

Yes Jack, them Parkinson mentalists were London Italians I seem to remember, there was a weirdly short "scene" around the turn of the century, in London, this was one of the 'founders' ... WARNING, the name of this band is highly offensive (to some) ... I like this one, but tbh, it was short-lived because it wasn't very good LOL

Morning Net, I'm off the sauce at present but that's unlikely to last long hic, the Bevis Frond eh, have heard of them, will have a listen when I can turn my speakers up. Crazy summer lined up, gigs in strange places, If I do Morecambe again I'll let you know lol.
GKP has been cheap of late, had to top up, LRL looking feisty too, catch you later, hope all is hanging well.

Yo N3L - Might have a bit of a problem eh.

Big game mate and you haven't turned up. To use a pool analogy you're stuffed behind the 8 ball. When the chips are down you can't hack it and hiding behind an avatar can't help you now.

By all means moderate this – but bear with me here – and try go with this – it actually kinda melts away. Yup it melts away. Those clever IT guys at ADVFN with their uber expensive software. The post doesn\'t vanish fast, it just melts away! (Think of Joyce Grenfell talking to a class of 5 year olds - no probs with the last bit eh - "Now then children, I want you all to imagine – Timmy, please don't do that, – I want you all to imagine that I've moderated your flopsy bunny stories, and they've all melted away. Now then Netley, you mustn't cry. It's ooonnnly a story".

But don't you worry your little brain about moderating mate coz it can all re-appear - anytime, anywhere. Today, tomorrow, Monday.

You and I know your losing control and there's two more days before the markets come back and anyone's gonna get too hacked off and I decide to desist

I just need to get one of the paid subscribers on board and help me out with some graphics I've created - - - -

Got quite a few votes for my earlier post on Iofina so there\'s a good majority with me. I\'m sure someone will help out.

Good day!
I hold this stock since late 2011 in my high yield portfolio (stocks bought on > 6% yield) but had not accumulated, other than a dividend re-investment as by the time the price took-off it no longer met my criteria.
I see folks are \"lightening up\" on the stock so am attracted, as a contrarian, to accumulating now that the share price has pulled-back somewhat.

The yield is currently 5%, next dividend goes ex- on 12/06 so, although not back to 6%, I might accumulate some. The only thing that worries me is the technical chart and whether there is a reversal or the pull-back breaks the upper parallel of the 14% CAGR line.... but if it yields more than 5% (in a time where I think corporate bonds yielding 4+% are over-priced) then I could be tempted...

However a bad point is that Bunting, the Chief Commercial Officer, seems to have sold a lot of stock recently...

Good luck!
