Ann: Completion of Placement, page-309

Apart from the odd quality post, the LBT threads have been taken over by romper room.

All this hand-wringing and indignation - feigned or otherwise - is childish and embarrassing.

Several here need to get a grip, grow up and move on. You don't need to live long to realize that shit happens and that, often, you can't do a thing about it.

Sure, the CR was handled badly and I hope that everyone concerned about it has represented those concerns to management either by getting on the phone (as I have done) or writing to them. That - and exercising your EGM vote - is certainly worth doing and may be beneficial in the longer term.

But to go on whingeing here, day in and day out, is pathological. Selling shares - or talking them down - to vent that indignation is even worse. Incredibly stupid, in fact.

It is either that - stupidity - or unethical, self-obsessed pip trading manipulation (for which the embarrassingly transparent GG is a standout) and which warrants just as much condemnation.
