Are you saying no company ever issues extra shares?

AFAIR When pressed, there were 3 items on TNPs list one of which was moderately anti-German so should perhaps be discounted. The other two were not significant enough for me to remember.

Nope, the UK will do fine outside the EU with its current economy, just like all of the USA, Canada, Japan, Korea, China, India, Australia, New Zealand etc all do.

Don?t need anything like that.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

No surprise you'd like us to be like India or China.

Voluntarily and usually when in trouble and it clobbers existing shareholders as with LTSB.

But isn't that current Labour thinking?

Corbyn and McDonnell want us to be like Venezuela

No, much more often to raise more capital for another venture. Its just another way of raising capital with advantages and disadvantages.

Not necessarily.

[Ray]

The UK would actually be like the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand etc.

But existing shareholders get first refusal.

It does if the extra shares and associated dividends are confiscated by the state.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Just like the US? Where health care depends on the size of your wallet?

Or will you just remove that one from your list too?

[Ray]

I said LIKE, not identical to.

There is no reason why the UK leaving the EU should see the NHS scrapped.

[charles]

except, Boris seems to want to bring in Trump's friends to run it.

[Ray]

That?s always been just another Labour lie and even if it did happen, that?s nothing like what happens in the USA,

[The Natural Philosopher]

First I have heard of it.

It could certainly use professional management though.

[John Rumm]

Well they are fans:

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Why do you think the NHS would remain as it is - owned and funded direct - when the Tories have privatized everything else?

[Dave Plowman (News)]

You really need to get out more.

You're an expert on that now?

If anyone anywhere says the NHS needs more money etc spent on admin, near everyone pipes up it should be spent on medical staff.

So the company goes bust then.

Like the goverment.

Perhaps those working in govenment or for the councils will get money off their council tax or something. I was told that years ago regarding pensions and how my end of salery pension schme was better than anyone elses, but that came to an end, as did the longer holidays and London weighting.

[whisky-dave]

They do, but it lowers the value of all existing shares, which makes sense as it a share in a company. The best way to do it is give them emmployee shares while they work for the company and they can get dividends from those shares, but NOT allowed to sell them on or give them away and they stay with the company.
