Well it looks like GW's policy of alienating its loyal customers with arbitrary price hikes, draconian shipping arrangements and shoddy products is working

What exactly are "current market expectations?"

GW Board Member: "Given how badly we screwed the pooch last year we expect to sell nothing at all."
GW Sales Manager: "Some fan-boy in the US just bought a pot of Chaos Black paint!"
GW Board Member: "Quick, put that in the report."

looks like the stockprice has increased, the problem is the value of the brittish pound. In Sweden the prices if models are orded from wayland or maelstrom have decreased. Brittish companies have an advantage when competing on a global market of the low pound and that could be reflected on the share price.

Interestingly enough, GW will give out a 16p per share dividend this year.
Last year it was 20p per share. So thats a drop of 20% per share to all the shareholders.
Now, either:
A) They are investing the money carefully this year
or
B) They dont have as much money this year.

Hmmm........
