More positive news with regards to a leading brand that THG own.

THG's high-end beauty brand Espa has opened a luxury spa at the Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria is Brussels. Little or no value is given to such highly rated brands that THG own. One day the market will wake up and recognise it. ESPA alone has to be worth more than £100m and it would be worth more for companies like Hermes or LVMH.

If THG is so undesirable to american investors then what are Apollo? They seemed pretty interested.

The fudsters are back in town.

Well that is rather ironic considering the largest open shorts are from the US.

People will have their own agenda Stanley. The trajectory is up and you will get people trading it for one pence here or there but the problem is with that is you can't rule out a takeover here and for me personally missing out on a 200% rise is not worth the risk of a 5% rise and fall every now and then but each to their own.

With 25% of the free float being shorted any good news and the hedge funds will struggle to buy back the amount they need to close their positions. Let's face it they have done very well bringing the price down so much but the rise should be better than the fall.

Still no sign of director buys...

Roxie Nafousi has become the new ambassador for Lookfantastic. Another positive step after the announcement of the Bristol shop to be opened. It would seem they are going in the right direction and the share price should follow.

Thanks Ryan for the clarification. The ai came up with a picture of MA when I googled it. Anyway good news with regards to another company recognising Ingenuity's benefits and let's hope the economies of scale help THG.

I like this comment with comparisons to Amazon and Mike Ashley is the new ceo of Huddled so he must like Ingenuity. Hopefully others will take note and use Ingenuity's services. If Ingenuity scales up then costs could come down for THG.

Martin Higginson, Executive Chairman of Huddled Group plc, commented: "This partnership represents a step-change in our ability to deliver circular economy solutions at scale. THG Ingenuity's fulfilment capabilities rival Amazon's - something we've aspired to since we started this business. The ability to process orders until 1am for same-day delivery is a dream for any e-commerce retailer.

A bid is a real possibility as is a sale of a division. Selkirk's offer valued MP at between £400-600m, if it was worth that to them it will be worth a lot more for a larger established company. A bid would have to be worth 100 plus, this is not hype it is a realistic price. 25% of the free float being shorted has resulted in the current oversold price.

It looks like some have sold out and want a cheaper price, like MA.

Plenty of sellers! What the two hedge funds who that have increased their shorts to manipulate the share price. One of which has just 3 shorts above 0.005% which consist of THG, ASOS and BOO. I wonder who else is trading these 3 companies.

More like there are not enough sellers for the hedge funds to get out. THG is a sitting duck for a takeover.

To think back in the end of October the directors were purchasing 100,000's of Share between them in the late 40's and not even a 10,000 purchase since. I realise they wouldn't have been able to buy when they were in discussions with Selkirk but we know that ended so any thoughts with whom they are talking to now. It can't be MA as he has been trading THG shares.

The comment was a joke hence the smiley face. Having said that I wonder how MA would feel if someone were to buy a stake in Frasers and then p1ss around trading shares in it. Since MA has got involved with THG the share price has fallen whilst his stake has increased. Perhaps the FCA should look in to his trading practices.

Instead of buying back shares or paying dividends they could make a hedge against the retail market and short Frasers shares. :)

another classic was vw and porsche. what i found amusing was that the hedge funds took legal action against porsche. what a bunch of spoilt ******s.

Tages have increased their short position. They also have short positions in ASOS and BOO. I wonder if they are working for the same investor... It looks as though someone is trying to bring the price down to increase their holding. It would explain some of the negative posting on here and who they work for.

I think the recycling companies are part of Ingenuity, like I have mentioned previously Ingenuity isn't just a courier as it offers many services to THG.

One sniff of a bid rumour and this will fly to at least the 60's. The hedge funds have a lot to buy back and is it really worth them hanging around as there is a vast upside but minimal downside. There are better shares too short unless of course they have an ulterior motive to keep the price low.

Like I have mentioned, the directors can't buy if they are in discussions which could materially affect the price. This is the reason I put it down to but who knows. Personally I'm not trading this as if it goes down to 28 I will just add but I would hate to have sold to see an RNS stating that the directors have recommended a takeover for 100. That's not worth selling for a few pence in my book but each to their own.

Astec, they have bought back and reduced their short but we don't know if they have exited the entirety, they only have to disclose a position above 0.005% so in essence they could still have a short position of 0.0049%. Judging by the volume they are most probably still in the 0.004's.
