Yep, typically advertising on the car that currently sits in 16th last place with 0 points in total haha.

A rabid dog is more pleasant than Ste2000 ...just add him to the filter list and he may go away
Thanks for that, i knew I had got it wrong but i couldn’t find the information, even 5% would be a big change to where we are as most funds cant hold THG...
Fingers crossed as we go forward.
Tracker funds typically hold between 5 and 15% of FTSE 250 companies according to my research.
Aren't you missing all the passive ftse all share trackers, small cap trackers sector trackers and the active funds also. Can't see hiw this will.all only add up.to 1% or 100m or just 15m Shares
It possible because fund managers get special dispensation for upcoming events , under certain limits of course, that allows them to take positions in anticipation of the actual event.
That prevents a surge of buying / selling that creates a false market as the changes happen.
Typically a company exiting the ftse 100 or 250 will see their share price fall as funds divest in anticipation and buy others that are joining, they try to do it slowly to avoid huge price swings.
Normal procedure.
How can it be possible that “and it could be happening now” when “funds that currently cannot take shares in THG”….eh
So perhaps we can start to think about Ftse 250 entry and possible ramifications if any..as THG has approximately 1.5 billion shares at todays price it has a M Cap of around 1 billion , that puts it at 160th place , the top 5 have market caps in excess of 4 billion, so a share price of over 3 pounds is entry onto the Ftse 100.
In the Ftse 250 i can find only a small number of funds that automatically take a position in Ftse companies and if there are only a few then 1 to 2 percent of the shares in THG will be taken without any other selection criteria. This is a smaller number than i envisaged so hopefully i have got that wrong and any help would be useful.
At some point ( and it could be happening now), funds that currently cannot take shares in THG will start to accumulate and perhaps that is showing in the relative strength in the SP, should the position change and THG does not enter the Ftse 250 the of course the opposite will happen and funds will start to sell of any shares they have accumulated.
I think that it is a very interesting couple of months coming up, will we see steady accumulation for any interested funds prior to the change or will they wait to see if THG will be included?
Will THG/MM care whether or not it gets included because it will be taken private ?
Or
Outside chance, once in the Ftse 250 will the next aim to be in the Ftse 100 looking at a share price in excess of 3 pounds ?
An interesting time ahead will MM like to be part of the organisation fighting for change or will he depart in the next few months.?
I remain invested and will be watching with great interest a hopefully i can make a decent wedge of cash over the next couple of years.
As always GL to all.
Well done team. I think everytime we see the tits ste2000, APH01 et al, we should keep morphing them
I like this upgraded Ste, much more pleasant.
Hes a gimp in mouldings cellar
When the Great Deluded One wants him to come in and make the tea and put out the biscuits. Apart from that, he's just the Great Deluded One's lap dog it seems? JMO
Glad to hear he’s well. Makes his radio silence on THG all the more disappointing though. Wonder how many days a month he works for THG.
My brother 2000 must have been turned off.
Looks like it's turning into FOMO Friday...
Correction, I haven't said the company is bad, it's the Great Deluded One that needs sacking. It won't matter, I have a feeling the big backers within the 65% club will soon be giving the Deluded One an ultimatum. Watch out for the Red dot...JMO Adyor!!!!
No, Hungarian...
Mate - about a month ago you were spamming the board about how bad the company is. Now it's worth £3?
Are you bipolar or something?
The only price I'm interested in is the 300p+ the 65% club will take. JMO Adyor.
SP movements are making little sense today. Then again, they never have made much sense....
The Big Middle Eastern backers within the 65% club are losing £millions every month, they could have earned vast amounts of cash if they had just bought Government Bonds or invested in US market trackers over the past 3 years instead of listening to the ramblings and false promises from the Great Deluded One. These guys will definitely want to start seeing a significant return on their capital very soon imo and The Great Deluded One will be having his feet held against a very hot fire before he knows it. The clock is definitely ticking down to something that should reward shareholders imo, the Great Deluded One is definitely becoming more isolated within the 65% club with his intransigent position you would assume. JMO Adyor!!!
@pencil: Is that good for THG?
