Re: CEO buys shares Well there's nothing stopping you doing the same Coops!! But I suspect like me it's a case of once bitten twice shy!! And there was me a couple of years ago wondering whether to take profits at £6 a share!! Jeez was I a dope or what?!?

Re: CEO buys shares great - releases a c~~p vague profit warning that makes the shares tank then buys in at rock bottom

Sector Consolidation required I suggest a shareholder whip round to create a super services co or will that just lead to bigger future profit warnings:-CarillInterMitieBalfor Plc I thought these co.'s profit warnings could finally nailed the debate as to whether taxpayers were being ripped off through JV's, PPI and PFI deals but realise in almost all cases they are generally a result of management incompetence or worse, mediocrity.

Just triggered an alert Last looked at it in 2009 when their pensions were causing an issue and left an alert at 90 which just got triggered.Trouble is since 2009 the profit numbers have not increased but debt/pension has doubled. Am having trouble seeing value at present as I think they have got too much debt/pension to handle now and a restructuring is more than likelyIt does however have some good underlying businesses so will keep an eye onFD

Re: I think this is way oversold You guess right. I have been caught on this but I'd banked previous gains when times were better, so not too overexposed. My CLLN has tanked too. Only mentioned NXT as it's all swings and roundabouts. Having a widely diversified portfolio helps.What annoys me is how smug and under control everything appeared in IRV's results presentation only a month ago ... "revenues weighted to 2nd half of year, etc".I loved "The Office" being a Slough boy myself. Note - it was Slough ... but Ricky Gervais is from Reading which is maybe why you slipped up. Anyway, I must get my stapler out of the jelly so bye for now.

I predicted this...... Honestly i did my mate works for them and i said the new CEO Debbie will sweep up all the bad news as shes just started and they weren't of her making and then will look like a superstar when the price rises in 12 months time.I havent looked at its debt and overall fundementals so dont hold shares yet but they have quite a few strands to their bow so i dont think they are for the bin but the price certainly wont move until they have drawn a firm line under the power/waste legacy issues and got their overall house in order.222

Re: I think this is way oversold your post reminds me a bit of david brent in the 'the office' when he tells the Reading staff the bad news that they have all lost their jobs.....before pausing to say that the good news is that he has been promotedmy guess is that youve been caught on this like everyone else

Re: Lesson to be learned on the 6th of september IRV announced the winning of a £90 million pound contract. I nearly increased my stake then but fortunately didnt-i hold 4000 which is quite bad enough. it seems a lot of these construction/services companies end up shafting the share holders-theres been a whole group of them over the last couple of years. well worth keeping clear of the entire sector-thats the lesson i have learned albeit rather painfully
