Listen to our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode 'Uncovering opportunities with investment trusts' with The AIC's Richard Stone here.
Telegraph article doesn't offer anything new, just reiterates what we already know.
Amigo continues to work on every angle, which includes contingency planning.
Looks incredibly promising - they are evidently preparing themselves 'Properly' for court this time.

I am sure a certain Precum was bragging he had placed a small 20k into SYME the other day...
Which has since become a falling knife....
I dread to think how much he is down....
Looks like it will keep falling to me....
Wonder if he’s bored of watching it go down?...
When it gets really low I may join in and buy some....
Bet he wishes he sold now....
We’ll all be buying in at bigger discounts tomorrow….
Mustn't forget.......
SYME = TIMBERRRRRRRRRR…….. : -)

Affordability check – Regardless of this - to consider every application/claim etc ever made ‘bonafide’ I feel is naïve.
Yes I have noted both – however keeping 15% of profits in place until valid claims are met by balance adjustments / payments, surely would suffice – therefore not affecting shareholders.
What annoys me – a staggering 36% of the redress allocation - lines cmcs pockets.
If shareholders are expected to take a haircut, so should cmcs.
@ Barrdann - Glowing accounts, these would not help their insolvency plea, so not expecting anything great - in turn a negative outcome will cause negative press, resulting in some panic selling.
Redress - I am hoping their 15% profit compensation pool is increased from 4 years, until every case is settled.
Redress could well be reduced at a later date - I suspect a number who are claiming, may have told a white lie to obtain their loan.
So if Amigo presented claimants with a reduced redress offer, or face investigation (if found to be lying, may result in their claim becoming null and void). Or if an investigation was time consuming - then I believe most would accept the reduced redress offer, if not from fear, but a quicker pay out.
Interesting times ahead

March, (prior to BOTH court hearings) we were floating around 15p.
Most (back then) perhaps invested assuming success / administration as a 50/50 given.
When evaluating our position now – administration is incredibly unlikely – The Bod/FCA etc, all working closely together to ensure a successful outcome - for all customers owed redress, future customers (combating the fight against loan sharks) and to secure ongoing employment.
Considering -
Waivers extended – For this to occur, a solution from Amigo would have been presented - or the plug would have been pulled.
Newly FCA approved senior recruits.
GREEN LIGHT – Knowing what the FCA/ Judge require for SOA approval - The fact Bod have confirmed they are working towards a revised SOA – Confirms they have seen a way to appease the FCA/Judge/Customers and a way back to lending.
Also working / considering redress timing, thus working towards an alternative to share dilution. There are so many LTH’s that have lost several thousands – I do not believe share holders should be diluted, nor do I believe they will be.
Thursday’s news – we know/expect to be bad – thus creating a short-lived dip - as a few panic sell.
On the flip – this will create the top up/buying opportunity/frenzy that I am sure many are waiting for.
I suspect a quick bounce above 10p to soon follow.
IMO - It is only a matter of time before people begin putting pieces of the puzzle together – and start throwing their appliances / kitchen sinks at this.
We have all the ammunition to get this through and back to lending.
Following Thursday – I really don’t see this being as low again - wouldn’t be at all surprised to see this in and around 15p by Friday/Monday.

Certainly has - I expect a poor set of accounts and minimal news next week. They will be keeping as much as they can under hat for as long as they can - until everything is 100% water tight. I think September will be an exciting month.
Signal RNS on its way ?

The accounts will have had to have been promising in order to gain the financial backing they have - waivers extended etc etc... Why would anyone stay invested/interested in a company if the accounts were shot.... They wouldn't.... it would have gone straight into insolvency.
If your pleading insolvency as an only alternative - you would show your hand.
They didn't - which to me, suggests accounts were healthy - I say 'were'.... I suspect the delay has granted them time to re engineer a few figures to assist the next attempt.
It will come good in the end - no one has anything to benefit from this going under.
All IMO
The FCA laid their cards on the table at the last hearing - Judge highlighted the FCA must work with them.
No doubt for me this will get through. I doubt there will be the need for any share dilution either as the accounts I'm quite sure will paint a better picture.
