The paperwork

Where every claim comes from

I only trust a company's own words: the accounts it files, and the announcements it has to make to everybody at once. Here is everything I've read lately, in my words, with the original a tap away.

If I can't read a document properly, I won't pretend. I'll say so and point you at the original instead of showing you a number I'm not sure about.

Where I look

  1. 1. The company's own announcements page.
  2. 2. Investegate, which carries London announcements for every listed company.
  3. 3. Companies House, for accounts and director changes.
  4. 4. The company's own reports, including the long PDF ones.

Share prices come from a free public source, one closing price per trading day. They're end-of-day, so they can be a little behind. If I can't get a price, I say so rather than guess.
