Re: S&G Society General have dropped back to 4.3%, either a quick (small profit) or they were buying for someone else.

S&G Slater & Gordon have really been brought to their knees arguably by the purchase of Quindell legal services....the curse of RT. Feel sorry for the Aussie investors. I cannot see how they got their due diligence so wrong....although personally I was glad they did go through with the purchase.

Re: results TX2 - apologies for the smart.a.rse comments earlier - I was influenced by the times you were giving it out freely on here. You can throw a free (no response) insult at me as recompense but please keep baldness and obesity out of it as I'm a Piscean and easily hurt.I looked only at the cash flow statement and not the balance sheet and hadn't picked up that for some reason WTG have decided that putting money on deposit is an investing activity. The net amount 'invested' in the deposit was £37.5m and it therefore was not included in "cash and cash equivalents" in the cash flow statement totals - I didn't look at the detail, just the cash (and cash equivalents) at each year end and took the difference to be 'cash flow', which it wasn't. If a term deposit isn't a 'cash equivalent', then what is? Cash outflow is as you say it was, however and not what WTG says in its cash flow statement - you should be preparing WTG's accounts. I expect the accounting disclosure rules have changed since I packed up - not much makes sense to me anymore.Gailles - as you're stalking me and watching my every move (bit surprised you haven't got better things to do) can I ask you to look at something for me on a company called Juridica (JIL)? I posted some info and links on the BB there recently (ignore the one asking people to contact me). Let me know what you think of the agreement I refer to - particularly the swap agreement involving the subsidiary (it's in a RNS dated 14 Nov 2008 - there are two subsequent loans). See also the admission document re the loan agreement: [link] Then look at how the information is presented in the accounts.Please let me know what you conclude. I'm not wasting your time - it really is intriguing and I'd appreciate your views as a former broker.

Re: Results Term deposit is cash. Eagle is wrong but will never admit so.

Re: Results HmmFrom the balance sheet Cash at beginning of the year £103mCash at end of year £43mTherefore cash movement (in year) -£60mSpent for operations (say) but also bonuses obs -£32.5mTransferred to term deposits -£27.5mCash movement -£60.0mBut I still have £27.5m on deposit which in my books is good enough as cash. Could it be both eagle and TX2 are both right (but I am ever righter)?Not so shabby (and could be due a bonus for my troubles)

Results Sorry, slight mistake, cash at start of 2016 £103.2m not as I stated £101.2m.

Gailes5 27 Apr 2017

Results TX Have you not realized by now that you cannot contradict the self appointed guru of the investment world without getting his usual courteous response. From today's announcement, Cash and term deposits £81.2m ( £101.2m). As at 21/4/17 £71.8m

eagle51 27 Apr 2017

Re: results From the group cash flow statement:Net (decrease)/increase in cash and cash equivalents: (60,689) Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the year: 103,839Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year: 43,714The small difference is exchange movements.Before you publicly correct someone, I'd suggest you ask someone clever to explain things to you first. Otherwise you make yourself look a bit silly................Hope you don't invest big amounts.
