AMFW Kenj2 06 Nov 2015

Re: Dividend cut Thanks for the links Damp Seaweed.Many of them look more risky than AMFW to me, especially as I don't like banks and financial companies. Others like Shell are imo overpriced at the moment, and Tullow is in the top 100 somehow, despite not paying a dividend since Oct 2014. The drugs companies are indeed good divi payers, but mostly at very high unit prices. The other obviously good payers are the Utility companies, and I have previously held some of these, but again at the moment overpriced imo.I still think that AMFW looks a good bet for a price recovery and a healthy divi in the next 8 months. After that as iii have said divi drops to below 4%, so time to sell perhaps.

Hosking Hosking now holds more than 19% of shares. Up gradually from around 10% in early 2015. Announcements seem to follow a fall back in the share price.

Re: not my fault The Millipede - I nearly choked on my apple pie (made it myself - quite proud) on reading in your post: "And while I think justice probably demands the former CEO never be allowed to serve as a director again, and might even send him to prison"...................if the situation turns out as all the signs are that it will, this was systematic fraud that's probably gone on for years; thousands of people being misled and parted from their money as a result and in the end the main perpetrator greedily trying to cash in his shares - we don't know how long he'd been selling and therefore how much he gained from his dishonesty. I don't expect the cash was ever there (probably hidden from the auditors using inter-company balances - they can hide a myriad of sins?). It certainly isn't now. Did they just steal it? Don't forget the complicit role of the CFO either (the POS); he may not be a qualified accountant - a red flag if ever there was one - but that doesn't excuse him, nor the other directors either. No-one can seriously pretend they didn't know at least something was going on. If you take a position as a NED in a listed company you're deemed to be streetwise enough to do the job properly - they took the pay readily enough. They can't just walk away. Their D&O policies will be worth looking at.I don't see that much difference between what the Greek slimeball got up to here and what Bernie Madoff got up to a few years back in the US - except in the volume of money stolen. He parted already wealthy US Jews from their savings by tempting them with unrealistically high returns on their money - he played to their greed. So did CP, whose constant promises about GBO's spectacular future didn't somehow ring true to some, but he won over a lot of disciples nevertheless. Evidently not BDO, but certainly Grant Thornton it would seem. Surely they'll settle (after a token fight), to minimise the damage long proceedings there was no hope of 'winning' would cause. All very embarrassing. Time will tell.I dare say there were some pretty powerful Jews inside the American legal system who were always going to ensure Madoff was never again going to set foot outside prison walls during his lifetime. Don't really know how his wife got to keep their swanky apartment and $10m - she must have known what was going on - maybe it was difficult to prove and there was some kind of trade-off? .What was good for Madoff should also be good for the Greek conmen - all those found to have been complicit anyway. What happened in GBO should never be forgotten and a crystal clear message should be sent out about what will happen to anyone else found guilty of fraud/criminal deception on this scale. My guess is that the CEO and Gryparis - assuming they don't disappear - will go to prison for a decade or more. If they don't it will be a travesty. Becoming part of a new flyover somewhere, before they even get there has to be a possibility - depending how seriously they've p'eed off people like the rich German family with the dedicated fund management set-up that ended up holding 11%.

Re: Breakout?? Completely missed this opportunity. Had it on my watch list and was waiting for sp to fall. Well done for getting in - I reckon could easily reach 6p to sell very soon.

Interesting One of their biggest shareholders reduces its stake & the share price is up over a pound.

Re: Directors Deals Good pointThis table shows many deals at 41.5p when the Ask was 55p and the Bid was 45p - ? ? See 15th, 16th and 26th Oct[link] note that it is a rolling list and as more trades come in, these 41.5p will drop off the page.

Re: Dividend cut Hi Kenji2I'm sure you are more than capable of doing a bit of googling. I tend to use these websites as a starting place.[link] can toggle from the links to other pages provided by the host.But as a word of warning just as you have used a simplistic approach, so do they and only use historical data, So take careThese sites don't pick up Investment trusts and what could best be described as odd ball investmentsegNA.L&display=discussionhttp://www.iii.co.uk/investing/factsheet/J408/henderson-far-east-income-ltd-ordor" target="blank" rel="nofollow">[link] something really racey (not for widows and orphans )[link] above is just a random list that has popped into my head.

Re: Read Paul Scott [link] tells that if a company assumes its R&D efforts are linked to a project that is expected to deliver revenues largely in excess of the R&D expenditure, a company can capitalize r&D..so per se it is a statement of suipport that their R&D investments are due to generate profits.I agree it is not prudent but if they generate free cash of 20 M and they book 12 m of that intangible asset sounds ok. anyhow I guess that to me what matters is the net debt position. if a company pays taxes and generates positive cash flow, who cares how they book R&D? if of course they issued debt to pay taxes and were cash negative I guess it would be kind of bad... seem not the case. Anyhow I guess that the taxman will want their policy to be consistent and that they writeoff intangibles according to some documented logic...If it will ever happen...

Re: The Legitimacy of our claim. Oh, I agree, the arbitrators won't give one jot about shareholders - they won't give one jot about Company"Justice" either, if they find some technical anomaly etc etc..My point is, they're almost serving the system itself rather than Justice..(and ultimately, shareholders are at the end of that justice/injustice) However we've been down this track before with links etc etc...but...well...I'm past that phase..Just bring me a giant pint of booze!!
