    Back in March they had a change around with Josef becomming Chairman and Youssef becomming General Manager (Egyptian Operations).

    What that realistically means to the decision making I'm not sure.

    why they need 86m in working capital when they are revenue/profit generating is beyond me !!

    Often overlooked, the Source and Application of Funds Statement within a set of accounts is far more important than the P&L. Worth taking time out to learn to read them.

    More businessess suffer through lack of working capital (cash), than trading failure.

    This week the S&P has been at levels not seen since Sept 2008.

    Banks still ok, looking to take some out of Barc if it can reach 280

    I bailed out of Barc today @ just over 275, having bought then a few weeks ago for 256. Good luck with 280. :) I can see the stock going sidewards until the Lehman case is sorted.

    Well, St Leger day out of the way, the old adage was not very predictive this year unless you had sold at the very beginning of May.
    6000 year end for me.

    Close 5862. I'd still expect 6000 by end of the year
    I'm still expecting it, very close with a couple more trading days to go.

    FTSE 100 just hit 6K at 16:29 today.

    I think there are one or two on here who are probably feeling aggrieved, they sold out at low 5000's waiting for 4500, we may see it yet.
