Re: Sweepstake to help pass the time From past experience I feel they are unlikely to comment on the trading so far this year, they should but probably wont. The key to a movement either way is the dividend. None now, but the promise of interim and final payments of significant size and we will go higher. No such carrot dangled and the market will be disappointed. However, I am optimistic and go for the good news and opt for 142p post announcement. I dont know what Burnie is taking but I think I should have some of it, a burst of euphoria would not go amiss!
Re: Sweepstake to help pass the time This is a tough one because we know that the numbers for 2017 are good but we don't know to what extent they will comment on current trading and cash levels, dividend expectations going forwards and progress of license. I could give scenarios that would see the sp between £1.10 and £2.50. Much depends on the communication. Based on current figures, a modest dividend and no license £1.40-£1.60 would be an OK outcome.
Re: Sweepstake to help pass the time BC. If you are correct I am sure we will all send you a prize.
Re: Sweepstake to help pass the time How very sensible of you CD well done. In light of my new found powers and even though I'm not allowed to enter these competitions becauce I'm female and significantly under valued. I would like to go with if i may. £2.53...
Re: Sweepstake to help pass the time Hi All Sensible Posters & BCIMO the mid closing SP will be circular £1.38 , hope my estimate is consevervitive , with regards to divi , I know the BOD are always cautious however I will be dissapointed if they do not declare a divi of say 2.5/3 Pence Good Luck To All in particular all us long term hold
Re: Sweepstake to help pass the time WP. I think your p/e of 10 is reasonable but not sure the 2017 accounts will show 18p per share as financing costs were prevelant for 11 months. IMHO though a reasonable call for 2018 - perhaps a bit conservative even. That's why I have been suggesting we will not see really decent dividend until this time next year. A 'taster' perhaps Tuesday or definitely July interims. Only time will tell all!!!
Re: Sweepstake to help pass the time I'll go for 180p (based on EPS of 18p for the year).
Re: Sweepstake to help pass the time I received the prize because I won the competition, he just couldn't face upto it in public, he did however grant me with all seeing special powers...
Re: Sweepstake to help pass the time All I know is that I received nothing!!
Re: Sweepstake to help pass the time Lol - last time he offered a prize of a turkey from turkey minder , without his permission. I think the loan of his Bentley GTC for a week seems reasonable

Re: Results due 10/4/18 Leaky leaky so let's hope another rise Monday to give us a low £1.30s base for the results on Tuesday.
Re: Results due 10/4/18 They are due 10th April (not February!!)
