It's funny I've been through all your posts on here, " only to find you say Morning. That' tells me your glued to your computer or bored at work. Ovewise in deep with this share' There's a problem with this share underlining issues with sales, profit, leadership. Taking control of contracts is one thing! But working hard with no kit and no profit, along with issues past and present. Your expecting this to rocket in my view. Buy yourself a ticket to the sun and return to this board with valid post and news if any " then I might say " Morning back " instead of what's going to happen " The writings on the wall. Good night
Against market and HSS positives
This will be in the 20's at year end..! Then I will fill my boots for the slow 5 year burn recovery and excellent return. Speedy are in a very bad place but will bounce back, it's a game of Red or Black after all.! There's a Big Bang coming very soon though before year end as Bp123 predicts also.
You'd sell up too if you knew what was coming in November!
Two sales of 2,000,000 shares within 60 seconds of each other for only 35p a share? Somebody has had enough, took their money & run!
HSS look like the winners in this sector to me....
Heads are still rolling.! Nothing been fed down from above and I mean nothing.! No direction, no communication, kit levels still dangerously low, especially in one specialist division that gives the best profit return. And most importantly the competition cleaning up with a smile on their faces. Oh and I forgot, valued, knowledgable staff (foot soldiers) leaving the business. Can't be healthy and can't go on.! & I still have 18K in this company..! (For the none believers) It's going to be a long haul.!!! To put it politely. ;-)
Let the a..hole have his fun. he has not got a glue about me. made my money on this share years ago
I find your glib references to suicide deeply offensive. Kindly desist
You must be into this share with your life saving.Poor call !! Speedy directors brain wash you into this ? Wait until early part 2016 and you might be hanging from a tree. You see there's a lot staff bought into these shares "might has well say it was a bad deal and move on pal
Good morning all{:-))
Got to have a laugh when sp has dropped 50%
You're having a bubble..! Can't wait for year end..! SP will be on it's backside, then fill your boots.!!
Good morning {:-))
Good morning all {:-))
Good morning{:-))
You must be bord in that office of speedy giving you all the time to post on here ?
Good morning all speedy investers see the board has been busy over the weekend{:-))
HSS have shown in updates how they are taking market share away from competitors. Growth may need to slow to align to the market but their growth strategy should pay dividends longer term. Their top line has been growing and cost alignment plans that they have communicated should drive bottom line next year.
Aplant have increased there market sales 20% this year and are going strong. Speedy hire, HSS have not. Been focused on market " in my view leadership along with poor services and lack of equipment. Bad management and long term issues see this not improving in short term. The fact Aplant show they can gain these customers from others and increase turnover/ profit " proves to me that other companies are not geared at the top.Once companies lose there customers it takes years if at all to win them back. This was caused by lots issues with Speedy " No equipment " No Service " Deal with contracts with blue chip companies with little profits.(if at all) bad computerised systerms. If they even get market share back this will take la long time to rebuild. I was in ASH shares when at 2p and did very well. They contuine to grow and have gross sales at 20% higher. I know the US arm has strength and see APlant growing to be the company that on Speadys down fall.
I think a major problem for Speedy is HSS who seem to be increasing market share and reacting well to weak market conditions to minimise impact. I.am buying into HSS next week after reviewing each of the major players in this sector.
Since speedy's self inflicted destruction not one of the national's have a dominant position. However VP have been allowed to go from strength to strength. Perversely Hewden have the brand and ambition but though currently without a proven leader and structure. Time will tell but I believe this is one to watch.
So in your expert opinion who are the most unsophisticated out of Speedys competition?
Your 5-8 years prediction is a finger in the air, so let's add some science. The hire industry is a very simple one, with basic fundamentals. Right kit, right compitance, right availability and last but factually least.....right price. These characteristics if prioritised accordingly are the basics. Return on capital not utilisation and relationships not process underpinn. So why has speedy got it so wrong? Perhaps what I have just described doesn't follow the standard MBA text book answers. Sadly SC who got these basics so right for so long, pushed the boundaries beyond those needed and his limitations were exposed. M R was a muppet and did dent have a clue, the current CEO will make less mistakes but is unlikely to make the quick decisions that Buck the text book that are required. Get the leadership right, invigorate the talent, win the confidence of disappointed stakeholders then attack the very unsophisticated competition and speedy' share price could be at £3.00 + in 2 years. Pipe dream or fact????? I will say no more other than suggest I'm speaking from experience not theory.........fact or fiction?????
look at it this way if save 6 million and lose 10% = 35 million that will not even come to profit !! They come from profit warning !! Think people need to do there maths !!
