What a bargain.IMO .Many more buys than sells which gives a view that there will be a deal or an extension which is the same thing. It will be interesting how trading goes in the next half hour
An extension means that JD is very likely still struggling to nail down the financing. That's not the 'same thing'. Not at all!
The is Sheltie banging on day in day out on the negative side
and IK buying a million quids worth of shares.
You could not make it up if you tried.
Dropped on low volume
In all seriousness, an 'extension' being announced is not the same as a 'deal being done'.
One is finite and done - and the other is a 'this is still up in the air and may or may not happen' thing. Just have to try to keep things accurate around here. .
"and lo it came to pass, that yet another month also did pass. And the devotees did fall to their knees and there was much wailing and nashing of teeth. For the devotees had been promised news, from the mighty JD. His light did shine, but now has gone. And the devotees did agree that maybe next month the mighty JD would shine a light once more upon them. And the devotees did depart from this place for the weekend, but in truth, they were still sore afraid, of what was to come".
There Endeth the Lesson.
Nah! Just making light of a truly farcical situation here, that's all! 😅 😠🤣
You are a truly personal farcical situation personified Sheltie
Rayte you have bought into a failed company
"including a possible equity raise fully underwritten by Julian Dunkerton, which would provide additional liquidity headroom for the Company's turnaround plan. It is expected that any equity raise would be at a very material discount to the current share price". . .
Shellie
What an absolute tool.
Fake news, JD has said nothing of the sort.
Loan extension in place, bid coming Tuesday or later tonight.
Told you you’d be locked in at 16:30 and it’s a case of locked in and absolutely shafted. Toffers and the cheerleaders you bunch of ramping clowns. How many have to cost money with your fluent flow of foolishness. £1.20 a share £2 a share. You’ll be dropping 30-40% on Tuesday easy.
Sm66 go read the RNs’s you absolute 🤡. Your money is up in flames
It is verbatum from the 2.8 Announcement you muppet. READ IT!!
Aimed at you Sm66. Read it. It is there to see. You are the absolute tool!
I am sorry for holders here. I wonder if Toffers and other JD fans feel differently now?
Very bad form, IMO. I had a nasty feeling this would happen, but I still had a little hope that he might do the decent thing in the end.
To leave it until the close on the final day, after getting that extension, well disgusting, actually.
No doubt some posters will be polishing this (rhymes with bird) of an update shortly, trying to put a positive spin on things, but IMO, taking everything into consideration, I cannot see the investment case now.
Hopefully IK will bring his opinions to the chat room after this update.
Where is just another noob & all the rest of the cheerleading squad who shouted everyone down? You were told to deal in facts not sentiment. Where have you all gone?
RIP he wants the company but not at a price its trading at on anywhere near it. IMO the board have a duty to put this company in a pre pack and see if the market will pay more than him. Doing it this way is potentially undervaluing the value here IMO
Oh gosh, that's awful, my gut feeling was right last week to escape as it was taking too long. I note it even states delisting. Yes, I was hopeful, but I also sounded a cautionary note when I started to feel it was taking too long, but got shot down, so don't blame me. I've always said it's 50/50 in recent times. Having said that, I hope those who are trapped in can salvage something. At the end of the day It's Dunkerton who you should be blaming, why start something if he didn't intend to finish it, especially as he has the finance himself to sort it. You should all be asking what was Mr Kellett and spouse's intentions? That's when the alarm bells started ringing, as they will become a part of a private enterprise of Superdry I suspect.
There were just SO many red flags here, yet the inexperienced just followed the chatter. JD does not care, as I said last week. He will do what he needs to do; he does not let sentiment get in his way. It was always a total gamble - and never an investment. A very sorry tale this one.
Feel sorry for those who bought, but not looking good
Toffers Toffers Toffers all your sentimental non factual posts are there to read. So don’t take the high ground. And don’t play the long Covid sympathy card either. You with your 80-90 posts on here a day were one of the biggest voices in the pantomime and now you’ve been shown to be the pantomime horses a55
Whatever happened to ‘failure is not an option for people like JD, the circles he moves in it’s all about reputation’!
Been some sad sorry self declared ‘genuine investors’ spinning a lot of yarns and berating anyone with a different perspective. 5 years in, seen it all before. Learned nothing new about JD or Sdry, learned a ton about individual posters and human nature.
Hats off to you Sheltie, Gary, Scotty, you called it right>
I'll be down best part of 2k on this when it falls on Tues - still win some lose some!
There's just the outside chance of course that it could proffer bids from outsiders but I just think the debt is too huge for many to take on and the clothes perhaps a bit too outdated, but who knows. I'm not saying that to raise hopes, because I think it unlikely.
