Re: High dividend replacement LOL aimforthesky lets not be too churlish!At least the capital value of our shares are up on this takeover approach and even if it does not suceed FLGs merits are likely to be better seen,like you I am a value investor and like companies that pay a good sustainable divi, if we pick as we hope the right shares then takeovers or at least approaches are an inevitability from time to time as others are going to see value eventually.

Re: Why the drop? totally agree Buffetts. I believe Eland is significantly undervalued given the potential of their assets. Below IPO price this is cheap and it should re-rate back to above 100p. Hopefully quickly...

Re: Why the drop? My point entirely.....but I know we don't have to worry as the market is regulated and operated by gentlemen.....Anyway, enough of our bitingly sharp Monday wit, I would like to think our proper research will pay dividends with this one, just getting the ducks lined up slowly but surely and that production and sales stir this one into life properly and trigger a meaningful rerating for good. At these prices for any new investor there is a big upside

RWS once a week 24 Nov 2014

Nice rise but why? Bought into RWS last week at £7.35 on the back of research into Biotech firms and their patent stuff. Was also tipped by a very tip source on the basis of growing income, profits and dividend stream. Trading statement indicates that shares trading on a PE of about 15. Brokers are positive. I think they will actually outperform the 14 October trading statement. Perhaps the Chinese interest rate fall has had a positive impact today.

Wheat from chaffe I am slightly cynical about acquisitive companies. What starts as a strategy becomes a habit which can be abused by CEO's to get them out of holes when revenues or profits aren't growing except when they are making acquisitions.My guiding star is cash generation, but this in turn gets confused when companies place shares, and you lose track of the fact, and assume a great lump of cash sitting on the balance all the natural cash generation of the business, not the reinvestment by shareholdersIt also becomes increasingly hard to benchmark what true performance there is when every year or several times a year an acquisition is made.Once CEO's get in the habit of adjusting the p&l because of various amortisation issues, and exceptional costs right down (funny how exceptional costs are exceptional every year!) they find it hard to stop. I am not saying this is true of GB Group, but beware of acquisition as a habit.You would never know that the business that the business GB Group recently acquired was significantly loss making from its announcement on acquisition. Those losses may have arisen from sunk development costs, which may not be recurring. GB group may be significantly trimming down to an appropriate size a badly managed business. It may be taking the core development it likes and dispensing with other cost overhead. Let's hope it won't be earnings enhancing purely because GB has capitalised the development costs, an habit of some financial engineers.Many a time cash generative businesses have got out the torpor of boring daily business by an acquisition strategy that uses its cash to acquire, and gradually leverages the balance sheet with borrowings, and deferred acquisition costs. That's all well and good when the cycle is ever upward, but not so much fun when the cycle turns. Just saying....
