Andy will continue in his current role and at the appropriate time facilitate a smooth transition.
1. Details of Andy Parker’s remuneration arrangements will be disclosed on the Company’s website in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 in due course.

Cynical from Coventry.

H-L snap numbers PE 7.99 and yield 6.10%. Not demanding.
Best of luck.

APAD
Income, income - I receive it in one hand, and the government takes it away simultaneously from the other.

Bah humbug from Burnley.

CHG on a breakout lots of late reported trades every day on volume

[essentialinvestor] 02/3/2017 09:26

red, the divi should have been cut by 50% imv and that would still have
been generous.

My take is there is some value here, however only adding in £500 lots
and tbh no/little idea where the low will be.

CPI must've cleared the cupboard by now - probably not a bad recovery play, EI.

I finally cleared the cupboard on TRCS - now watch it announce a major US order!

Put the monies into BVXP, largely because I couldn't think of anywhere else, and I like the income.

A long time ago now red, The Priory Roehampton, that was an experience.

[essentialinvestor] 02/3/2017 09:09

I've bought a few CPI, oh my ) - highly speculative,
that should read, Highly Speculative!!!.

I am going to keep a close eye on Hills at the kick off every day.
For the last 2 days the share price has been walked down only to recover. This is planned action, using bots. There is always a chance that it will walk down and keep going but, on evidence to date, it has dipped and risen.
I might just dip in and out tomorrow, should the same situation occur.
Walk on the wild side.

Daring from Derby.

Bots playing with Hill & Smith. Multiple sales of 200 shares in simultaneous bursts.

Hunting
Blood on the streets.

The original 'Sell in May' relates to the day when brokers were 'gentlemen' who did the season. Little business was done as their major clients were doing the same. That no longer applies.

Hunting FY results are a window on post-CAPEX by O&G. If I remember correctly they finished a major CAPEX program of their own, just in time for the bust.

Mantras like sell in May are useless, L, as is St. Ledger day as a signal to return to the market :-) Although there are plenty of political threats rolling in for this Summer.
General market busts are a great time to build holdings out of income.
Company contexts in cyclical industries are another issue.
Like EI, I reckon big generic downs are the time to buy good companies.

FT puts yesterday down to a greater chance of a small Fed rate rise in March, rather than Trump transmogrifying into a smooth talking politico, maybe.

PI's tend to get excited about days like yesterday and while it is nice
to see blue, big down days/weeks are where longer term value is often created.


VTC, as mentioned hope the share price comes back some.

[lauders] 02/3/2017 01:06

The sell in May mantra might prove very apt this year. Can the markets keep going up and up? Would be interested in what those who contribute here plan (if anything) to do prior to May (perhaps during mid-April)? Some may well just hold and probably have faith in their investments to come out of any turnaround stronger others may decide it is better to take profits and then wait for any opportunities to buy back. I am actually thinking along the lines of both at the moment. For example hold BVXP and HOC (latter should do better when shares/markets decline) and sell other things like BDEV, MSHL, ITV.

red - If you are looking at VTC you may be able to get them cheaper in May/June ;-)

Just found out that John McDonough (ex-CEO Carillion) is Chairman.
Very, very big positive. I rate him big time.

Pity apad, you don't do USA stocks, otherwise Broadcom would have been your type of stock

[apad] 01/3/2017 20:53

270p looks good, mod. The 250p placing was the signal. Still a roulette wheel stock though. I do like it.
Flow of funds into and outof the US is so artificial!
Whilst I stick to investing independently of global economic and political opinion/trends, I'm still shocked by a day like today.
Pleasantly shocked, I suppose :-)

Y'oodles have lost all sense and reason - not for the first or the last time.
Despite the giddy heights of 20,000, the Dow has gone stratospheric.
If it is to be believed, some US fund managers have cash to spend, some of it having been taken off the table recently.
Pension funds are constricted, to some degree, by their rules and regulations. Some of the deficits declared in recent years would have been eliminated, had they taken a walk on the wild side, a la APAD.
There are fundamental structural flaws in the European model and, after the usual initial disruption, it is possible that a Euro breakup could be positive. The biggest loser would be Germany who has prospered from a weak Euro.
I have dripped petty cash into the markets recently, but only on very specific stories. I still do not have absolute conviction in a rally, and it is borne out in many sets of accounts that are currently being published. I don't want to sound too pessimistic. Keep accumulating quality.
I agree, keep going with the same story for long enough and it becomes true. Everybody wins, except by then some may not have any funds left.

There have always been nutters around. Wasn't it Diogenes who lived in a barrel on the edge of the City? He set the standard for his successors.

Apad, before Trump's victory, the outflow from the funds in the USA was the highest for many years, those who got out will have to buy back which in turn will push the prices and PER up.I got some FARN at around 270p as a gamble, only 1% of PF, the spread was very discouraging, so didn't get any more. The USA stocks have been on fire recently, and I think this is the start

[apad] 01/3/2017 19:55

Reeling at these rises.
It seems as if there is a lot of money waiting for an excuse (sorry reason) to move into the market on global confidence.
When the pension funds finally work out that stocks are the new bonds there could be another boost.
I wonder if there is a euro breakup the market might see this as positive?
Get rid of all that currency, red.
Or is it too late?
Wait long enough and all the forecasts come true.

It is drawing to the end of St. David's day. He was supposed to spend a night in a freezing river, up to his neck for a night, reciting scripture. What a pillock!
