The Government and media are scaring people witless in order to push the jab and in the process taking a hammer to retailers like CARD. Add in the short position of Lombard and hence the SP is stuck.

I am happy to buy at these levels in anticipation of a bounce in 2022, cash call or not.

Some dates for your 2022 card and gift diary.

GLA. And whatever you do, don't forget your partner's birthday.

= Minus 4% SP

Is this on account of the single short position, algorithms, or is someone taking the Michael? Or all of the above?
For holders it’s very frustrating watching the shops bursting at the seams.

There may be less footfall today after the latest BS from the “Government’s” latest nonsense and perceptions should quickly improve but CARD holders are definitely being short changed here. Meanwhile MOON does very well.

... and yet again buys outnumber sells by 2 to 1 and we are down 4%. Strange times.

The cleaner would make a better job of it.

My wife is a bit of an expert on cards and on saving money. She sends cards to long lost uncles, aunts, nieces & nephews that live hundreds of miles away and no longer see. She just spent two days writing out Xmas cards. I took her advice when I put started to investigate buying into CARD.

She tells me that Card Factory has slightly more expensive cards on the top shelf plus others, recognisable by being wrapped in cellophane. Both she avoids in going for the cheaper ones which are ideal for the long lost just mentioned, the cards being equal in looks and quality, but far cheaper to ones she might buy in Clinton, a newsagent or a post office.

As I mentioned quite recently, our local CARD shops Blackpool (2) , Cleveleys and Poulton le Fylde are always busy, especially so at this time of year as we might expect.

CARD’s business plan does seem focused on shoppers looking for value for money and that seems to be working in these difficult times. Difficult times will continue when rea inflation takes hold in 2022 but people will still buy cards and look for VFM.

The Cleveleys shop was rammed lunchtime/early afternoon. A constant stream of shoppers with about 40 people at one time. Constant queue at the checkout with Xmas stuff having big gaps on the displays. Till staff seemed too busy to restock while I was there but the town goes quieter by 3pm.

The Poulton le Fylde shop bursting at the seams on Tuesday afternoon, even at 3pm.

Belated Happy Birthday ROX.

From Tuesday for those not exempt. I'm going in to buy a get well card for Doris.

If only I could multi tick that comment. Big buys this morning.

Correction 53.71

Retry. Good summary. I topped up Thursday at 51.7p. GLA.

Thanks BB.

I'm sure RDH wouldn't sell at such a low price. LSE must be wrong. On the other hand the SP hasn't reacted much if a buy. Sort it LSE.

“As bad as inflation is, consumers, know that it is a lot worse in the real economy.”

"Mr. Market out there knows inflation is greatly understated," he said. "If you used shadow statistics, which uses the 1980 algorithm, inflation is at 14%."

Holmes added that gold is now starting to move because it is such an unloved and undervalued asset.

After that director buy.

(Kitco News) - Gold prices are solidly higher and hit a nearly five-month high in early U.S. dealings Wednesday, following a hot U.S. inflation reading. There were also hot inflation numbers coming out of China Wednesday. December gold was last up $16.30 at $1,848.00 and December Comex silver was last up $0.282 at $24.58 an ounce.
