BBC pro, pull the other one.

[fireball xl5] 30/8/2018 14:48

Richie, it’s all part of joined up government, not.

[spike_1] 30/8/2018 14:46

Richie, yup as I thought, it is a common belief (which I share) that the BBC TV has a pro-remain bias.

Cheers - Spike

Edit: sorry grabster - slapped wrist!

[grabster] 30/8/2018 14:45

Every day we get someone saying they don't want to bring politics onto this page, but .. and then proceed to do so.


If the urge is so great, just set up a thread about it. It can be set up in under 20 seconds and costs nothing. Thereafter just direct people to it. Simples. ;-)

Sorry, DIT not DTI.

Spike_1 Some good news DIT press releases have been issued but given hardly any coverage by the BBC. I assume the BBC makes its own editorial decisions and so the angst from my DIT friend fits the facts

teepee - "Couldn’t they get their spouses if they have one to invest in their isa’s on their behalf? Is that against the rules?"

No, rules are very tight on that sort of thing. They would still have an interest in the shares. My son works for KPMG and I am not allowed to invest in any companies that they audit.

[ellissj] 30/8/2018 14:34

Looks v positive ash. I wonder if we shall get an updated target from nic soon ? Aimo best ellis

[club sandwich] 30/8/2018 14:33

Well if it's the DTI it's the wrong department, because Matt and Peter work for the DIT...

[sonsonnyjim] 30/8/2018 14:31

Matt and Peter wanting shares is great

Spike - I did say suitably distant ;-)
And it does happen of course.

[spike_1] 30/8/2018 14:28

Richie: re: 'kept off' by the BBC presumably? yes?

[richie32] 30/8/2018 14:23

I understand the need to keep politics off of this board but with this stock I think it will be unavoidable since the DTI is heavily pushing a positive post-Brexit outcome (at odds with the rest of govt & civil service).

I know someone in the DTI who is livid that good news DTI stories are being kept off the BBC.

[spike_1] 30/8/2018 14:20

grab - still at bit iffy if Matt and Peter in possession of confidential price sensitive info'.

Far better IMO that it be done formally through VRS employee scheme if it can be arranged.

[1teepee] 30/8/2018 14:20

Couldn't they get their spouses if they have one to invest in their isa's on their behalf? Is that against the rules?

[ashehzi] 30/8/2018 14:18

Healthy 45K and 55K buy

Are the 2 DIT resources able to invest and benefit in the share price growth?

Does that imply that Peter Jay and Matt Walker do want to buy shares?
(in which case might suitably distant friends or relatives already be doing so?)

[haz101] 30/8/2018 13:53

Thanks guys

Fest

They feed the ducks (MMs)

Putting in chunks as the share price goes up.

Don't forget the PIs that lane flip who add materially to the sells at times.

The 2 majors left had a bout 30 mill between them not that long back, and LO did 27 mill before that.

All things considered it's a fantastic share price rise. Some of that fund selling of course has been simply down to handsome profits.

Zero left by them or holding what they have left could prove very interesting if we ran into some major positive China news. I suspect the media would also jump on that.

That would be be hang onto your hats time.

[1teepee] 30/8/2018 13:40

My day off today though

[festario] 30/8/2018 13:26

They should have dried up ages ago Super.Those last 2 named collaboration RNSs should have cleared them out, it's been going on months.

[superg1] 30/8/2018 13:20

So far it's been strong Fest with clearly underlying buyers.

If they were not there we would imo have had more volatility with 10p swings and so on.

Put this way if the fund that sold during July has been as equally as active in August then they now have less than you.

[festario] 30/8/2018 13:08

Each buy costing a little more, if the seller is done this could move up nicely. However, there's a strong chance as usual that a big red number will appear to drive it backwards.

[superg1] 30/8/2018 13:03

There will come a time, not too far away that will mean oil juniors and chasing the big oil fields will fall off a cliff.

The projected petrol and diesel ban for sale of such cars is 2040.

Sounds a long way off doesn't it but as we have IQE guys here that has been around for 18 years on the AIM I can can see some names from day one.

So countries like Saudi are already making plans for post oil as with a falling oil demand if they don't change, their empire it's screwed. Trying to do that when the tide turns is too late others will be way head of you.

Hence when my son asked about that to do the answer was electric, anything to do with electricity as the demand for expertise in that area is going to be enormous.

There has been no need for car batteries hence there has been no need to find the answer.

I say that because I wondered if the Bosch quote will become one of the laughed about quotes in the future.

They say £20 bill to get 20% of the market isn't worth it.

Are they thinking 20% of the current market or 20% of the future market which will in be just about everything that needs a source of power.

20% of that market for £20 bill now I suspect will turn out to be an absolute bargain.
