Title: And the value of Oxo's shareholding is.......
Post by: Scouse Pilgrim on January 09, 2012, 12:48:19 PM
Shareholders funds currently (2010) worth a negative £1,091,980

This makes Oxo's shares worth £3,000/£249,848  x  -£1,091,980  =   negative £13,112

Would you pay £3,000 for something worth -£13,112?  

Is this a shrewd investment of members' cash .

Better putting the £3000 on the National Lottery!

What are you muttering on about Isaac?  How can shares possibly have a negative value? I thought you were a bean counter by profession?

Thomas Cook for example........debts in excess of £1,000,000,000, yet I can sell my shares (if I had any) for  around £15.  Share prices and the balance sheet have no direct correlation, they're worth what somebody else will pay for them?

You going on Saturday....not far to go for you?  Remember to cheer the team in Black and Amber.....I know it's been a while.

Surprised I haven't seen you in The Perseverence or Rugby Tavern of a Thursday evening?

I used to get invited to little chats at half-time KON. His name was Gee Evans. Don't be intimidated by the bully boys who do not want to answer questions.  :bunny

What are you muttering on about Isaac?  How can shares possibly have a negative value? I thought you were a bean counter by profession?

Thomas Cook for example........debts in excess of £1,000,000,000, yet I can sell my shares (if I had any) for  around £15.  Share prices and the balance sheet have no direct correlation, they're worth what somebody else will pay for them?

It is all about future expectations Mr F.  Thomas Cook has the potential of improving its position and the market believes it will. It has brand loyalty (something that seems to be deserting BUFC looking at the gates). I imagine that Thomas Cook also has some decent assets unlike BUFC. If BUFC shares were listed on the Stock Exchange they  would have to be suspended.  :-*

Can I bribe you in Dartford Mr Oxo not to spill the beans on my Trust funds, offshore accounting practices and other dodging accounting ideas (I blame Mr F).

Not to mention all the dirt I have got on BUFC and Boston Sports Funds Ltd!

The real me? Now that does sounds very scarey!  Yikes  :dan

In the meantime you have the chance to say sorry for badly investing the Trust's  money and for not knowing the meaning of vitriolic.
