good to see your optimism. I feel a bit wary about more upwards price movement. I dont like the way that the directors overpay themselves, and in general directors are becoming more brazen when it comes to appropriating shareholder funds via pay. The government should introduce a law to only allow voting on shares, by the owner of the shares, not the controller of the shares as at present, or else this malaise will get worse.

That said, it was a good performance and things are going well. I just hope the directors can bring that debt down a little bit more.

the trading statement doesnt get much better than the one they issued today. Perhaps my top price of £1.60 seems a little low given this news.

I am afraid whilst he is typical ladbrokes, cautious and thoughtful(like Cyril Stein) he has cost lads a bucketful of cash and even though he was probably right in not going for SBT, the booby of his career thus far must be, walking away from 888.

This error means Lads will miss out on the opening of the American online market which is looking increasingly likely sooner rather than later.

The 20% tax replaces a licence duty (+vat) which was about 16%. The bottom line will suffer (according to analysts) by about £12m - £13m for Ladbrokes and Hills - probably no more than short priced horses filling the top four places in the Grand National.
150p will be a buying opportunity in anticipation of better days ahead when on going changes and cost cutting are implemented later in the year.

someone is picking these up and thinks that there is value in them. The rise has been steady and sustained.

Any idea who it might be? I guess it could just be a general market thing, but who knows? By nettle124 ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:LAD.L&display=discussion&id=9407674&action=detail Fri, 09 Mar 2012 08:44:00 GMT nettle124 tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.9373134
Those of us that have visited LAD's existing HQ Imperial House (Rayners Lane) on business, will know how difficult it can be to find a parking space. At least the space is cheap, thanks to a shrewd move by the property people some years ago. Whether LAD'll find it just as inexpensive elsewhere remains to be seen.

If they do go then it'll clobber retailing in Rayners Lane again, just as it did when Avon Cosmetics moved of of Imperial House before LAD leased the building.



(I'm not a shareholder in LAD; conflict of interest)
