The share price has dropped a bit over the past few weeks. I noticed some directors have exercised some significant share options and then promptly sold most of the shares, but is this the only reason?

The recent disposal of Lonrho Aviation to Rubicon where Lonhro now has 73.7% of the shares in Rubicon, and Rubicon starting to develop Fastjet has got to be better for the Lonrho share price in the future?

Rubicon passenger numbers were up 50% YOY in June.

Anyone else think this is a good time to buy LONR shares??
