I definitely agree, that going back a couple of years - the market value went way ahead of events and a correction was a cert - if the company had any sense they would have raised funds while the share price was in double figures - they left it far too late - a real shame..
KNIGELK, I agree, there is always space on the high-street....but for an independent, good quality family type butchers. Crawshaw's in my opinion (although limited), seemed more of a commercial enterprise - thus would be competing with your supermarket grade meat! I made mentioned a long time ago that it had 40 shops or so, made a mere ONE million profit, but had a market cap of a staggering 70 million plus...MADNESS! It was all based on their ideal to roll out 200 plus stores...it was all hot air. I am sure the shop-staff will find employment elsewhere during the festive period.
Maybe let them go into administration & put a bid in for the job lot. Kick out any thought of Halal shy te etc.
Maybe a collective of us could club together and put something up. We could get it for a song from the administrators.
Thoughts, anyone?
I can't help but wonder if 2 Sister's involvement has anything to do with Crawshaw's demise.
When you consider the bad press the 2 Sister's factory got not too long ago.
Just a thought
That's not fair really - the company has been around for a while and was doing ok until recently - also the share price soared a while back ... then started dropping and obviously did not recover. It's shocking how quickly the situation went down hill and I still think there's a place in the market for a decent butchers on the high street - we have two near us in Chipping Sodbury - supermarket meat is not always that great. I hope the staff find alternative employment soon - not great news all round
well no surprise here, anyone thinking a discount butchery chain with a handful of shops going against the supermarkets was a bright idea to invest needed their heads testing. I was always in disbelief at their SP/Valuation.
seriously.......footfall down because unemployment is down? I am sure the unemployed people. oap's and wives milling around or people on benefits make up the majority of footfall.......some places it may be more to do with halal butchery than again the internet and out of town or fringe shops may be the reason? it certainly wasn't the weather!!!!! as the previous RNS stated!!!
hmmm.....I wouldn't worry about the bbc....there going on about legalising drugs everywhere at the minute! I would hope the workers on the ground will be safe I am not sure about the management or directors tho........2 sisters didn't want to inject a further millions and reorganise?.......wonder if they are looking to "buy out" indirectly with a large cashpile under a psudo company name?.....seen this happen before...share holders at the back of the que..... perhaps home shipping was what they had to compete with?....BAXTERS BUTCHERS GIVE US AN OFFER!!!!!
You forgot CTAG. Seriously though I have expected this for months, it’s not just the big retailers who are struggling, I know several retailers in the food sector who would love to sell out but their business’ simply aren’t worth anything so they are stuck at least until their lease is up. Every month unemployment falls and that means lower footfall during working hours.
CLLN, CVR, CAKE, CPI, CRAW.............I’m never buying a company with a C!
I do think it was at 15p per share iirc.
There is an option for 2 sisters to further "buy in" to 50% at a much higher than new issue price...should they wish....not sure on the time limit?

RARE ALERT: Crawshaw said to be working on £3 million equity fundraising - sources - Part 2

Not great but hardly a surprise Should have done a rights issue when the share price was near 10p not near 1p!!
other boards do not share ANY enthusiasm or light at the end of the tunnel.
FYI
This probably explains the longer term falling trend.
Don't get me wrong, the last RNS wasn't peachy.
Big spread on this one. MMs are nervous it could kick off again. <br />
Well its up a little this morning, a small blessing, any reason?
equally IF the shares rise abouve 30p with corrective measures there is also the window to buy in at 15p.......
perhaps I should or should not mention my personal beliefs,
however,
IF they run short of money(crawshaws) the director has the option to buy in at 15p per share giving them a large float and 51% this would then leave 2 sisters owner in a position to possibly put in place other offers to go back to a private company only requiring to gain another 25% in th long term.......but that is very speculative on it being worst case scenario.....and only an opinion of 1 of many possible outcomes.
no different to my opinion on Interserves share price....which others will tell you is where it is through debt and it needs debt reduction......my opinion is the SP is there because if the long term short positions.....I THINK.
I dont think its any type of manipulation.
it just comes up incorrect.
look at ask and bid prices to get an idea of buy or sell.
the store closure in Barnsley was because the market closed where the shop was located.
the biggest problem with all aim stocks is no interest. no interest(lack of a dividend or expected dividend) or pending good news or bad news means no volume. no volume equates to wide bid and ask prices. it also means that a low price now may equate to a low price in 1, 3 or 6 months on and on from any subsequent dip.
historically if you want to look at that try looking at interserve to see the dips because of short positions not anything else they are telling you.
shares do bounce and they also can just keep dropping.most changes are due to an rns but there are hidden jems out there.
I think there is good reason to see this as a long term investment despite people being negative.
the worst thing that can happen is delisting or dilution in reality.
this share has neither coming I THINK in the near future and I doubt has any further to fall.
Happens all the time.
Happened to me on FFI today, happened before, and you'll see almost everyday people complaining about that...
I don't know if it's aimed to be a manipulation or missing info (both cases sound bad!)
I have only been on AIM for 1,5, you just cannot trust that info...
I bought 500k at 12:44 today through HL. I see on the share trades chart it is showing as a sell. Is this MM manipulation, in which case that is sheer criminal activity or is it HL giving false info to the AIM.
I wanted to copy and paste the purchase statement received by HL but strangely enough this is not something you're able to do!!!
If someone can tell me how this can be proved and shown the site please let me know and maybe the cloak and dagger activity can be highlighted.
:-)
Could break 3p today. Momentum looks like its building
Can see a bounce to 3.5p plus very quickly
