What is happening was slowly going up, past week down 25% Good entry or further down.

I hope the Septics get the $700 billion loan through in the next few days otherwise I can see the FTSE tanking.

Options Cancelled

WOW! . . . an RNS telling the Market they've withdrawn their Options - jolly good, they were a freebie Win-Win which is a charge on retail shareholders.
Let's hope the overpaid-Directors use their own money to buy shares and show some confidence in their own abilities.

Only "we" know that this is a precursor for New Options - at far more easily-achieved levels. . . . Grr, they aren't worth it . . . . . Let them use their own money!

Indeed, it occurs to me that it would be easy to remove some Directors . . . let's start with those that don't buy 50k-worth of stock at these low-levels, between now and Xmas day.
THIS could apply to many other Companies.

Yell sees hard fourth quarter after 9-month sales fall 2 percent


LONDON (Reuters) - Yellow-pages group Yell reported a 2.4 percent decline in nine-month sales at constant exchange rates and a flat core profit on Thursday, and said the current quarter would be tougher.

But the company said its results had been helped by strict control of its operations and its online business and it expected its rate of revenue decline to slow in the first quarter of the next fiscal year, which begins in April.

Like its peers in the local classified directories business, Yell has been caught out by tough credit conditions and a steep decline in advertising spending in the midst of a costly migration from print to digital.

It renegotiated its loan covenants last year.

On Thursday the company said it expected full-year adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) to rise about 10 percent to over 800 million pounds, a decline of 2 percent at constant currencies.

It had previously forecast broadly flat core earnings.

"The economic trends in each of our markets show no current sign of returning to growth, and the fourth quarter will undoubtedly be tougher," Chief Executive John Condron said.

Yell operates in Britain, the United States and Spain -- some of the countries hardest hit by the global financial crisis -- as well as Latin America.

Its net debt was 4.3 billion pounds at the end of December, up from 3.8 billion nine months earlier, and 4.7 times annualised pro forma adjusted EBITDA.
