Re: New FD Silver Panther - I can't see that his age is a problem. The important thing is that he's qualified here in the UK, that he knows the company well, and that he's bilingual. Hopefullly he'll travel back to the UK regularly to meet analysts and investors.The language skills are particularly important since the CEO Peter Chen speaks no English. You say the company is 'high risk', but from a balance sheet point of view it is a CFO's dream. No debt, huge wedge of cash, and awesome cashflow.

New FD He's 25? Don't want to be ageist about this but really? Must have acquired a vast amount of knowledge in a very short time to be able to guide a high risk public Chinese company into safe waters...

68p per share Let's see if I have this rightThey recover 100m barrels at $50 per barrel, of which 5% goes to ARG, shared over 220m shares, with $/£ = 0.6That's 100 * 50 * 0.05 / 220 * 0.6 = 68 pence per shareSo you buy a share now at 7.5 pence, you get paid 68p over a 10 year period, starting about 7 years from now.Sounds pretty good to me.Then put a 10% chance on that, and it still looks pretty good.Have I got anything wrong?

Re: Network Rail contract win Precise financial details of the deal will not be released as they are commercially sensitive, but Edison and Equity Development have reports out, giving EPS of 4.7 and 4.6 respectively for 2015, and 6.5 and 6.4 for 2016. There will be start up costs. Overall not a bad set of estimates, and coupled with Cantor's 'Buy' I am at last happy to be holding here. Into the 90s would see me even happier, and seems quite feasible.

Hargreaves Lansdown suffers first fall Choppy stock markets and falling margins push profits lower at UK's biggest investment supermarket for the first time in a decade.Hargreaves Lansdown (HRGV + ), the country’s biggest investment supermarket, has suffered its first fall in annual profits since joining the stock market in 2007.Choppy stock markets, falling margins, a £4.4 million payment to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and the temporary loss of currency trading income as it brought the process in house, lowered pre-tax profits by 5% to £199 million in the year to 30 June.This is the first time in a decade that Hargreaves has seen profits decline, although profits have surged 2,500% since making £7.6 million in the year before its flotation on the London Stock ExchangeMomentum has faded in the past two years as the group has grappled with the abolition of commission payments from fund managers.The re-pricing of its Vantage platform – which saw customers pay an explicit platform charge for the first time last year – knocked £18.5 million off 2015 revenues with the low margin on client cash reducing income by a further £17.3 million.Chief executive Ian Gorham said: ‘You can’t take a £35 million hit like this and not see an impact. To only see a 5% reduction [in profits] is very good,’ he told Citywire.Excluding the changes to fund pricing and low interest on cash, the company said underlying profits were up 13% and that it would return to profits growth next year.Assets under administration rose 18% to £55 billion with customer numbers up 84,000 to 736,000, although this was less than the 144,000 it attracted in 2014.The company invests heavily in technology and earlier this year revealed plans to launch a cash portal and a push into peer-to-peer lending. It says it is seeing a ‘material’ contribution from smart phone transactions using its app: with trading in shares climbing 65% and in funds by 200% in the past year, although the company declined to give specific numbers.In May the company launched Portfolio+, a so-called 'robo advice' initiative, which aims to bring in new online investors with an easy-to-buy range of pre-set fund portfolios on its website.Despite a 3% dip in earnings per share, the company declared a 3% increase in total dividends for the year of 33p per share.On the stock market, the company’s shares jumped nearly 7% or 75p to £11.90 as analysts said the ‘headwinds’ Hargreaves faced this year would abate in 2016. Stuart Duncan of Peel Hunt maintained his ‘hold’ stance with a target price on the shares of £13.45, saying the stock deserved its premium rating over traditional wealth managers. The shares have gained 15% this year and have trebled in price over five years.See Web page for graph[link]

Re: Ouch! Thanks for the advice. It's always difficult to know how to respond as a long-term investor when you think you can see the beginnings of a new bear market. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm finding policies that served me well during my first 15 years of investment no longer seem to be working, and personally I'm finding it quite hard to adapt to the current markets.My pain will be short-lived if this is the start of a longer-term bear market, remembering that a falling tide lowers all boats. For what it's worth, I have kept my emerging market investments and my commodity ETFs, and I'm short DOW and FTSE100. Doesn't sound like a bad policy once I write it down.Good luck all, and hopefully I will be back in here once the dust settles.

Judicial review - any idea what it might be about? 'judicial reviews are a challenge to the way in which a decision has been made, rather than the rights and wrongs of the conclusion reached'.andy
