These shares are heading for 50p short term. I was once a holder.....I saw them go as low as 20p in the last major downturn. Sure they will recover eventually. I hoped for a takeover at the last downturn. I think someone in Italy were the favourites at the time to take them over, but it never happened. As we are about to enter a really bad recession, I think these shares have further to fall.

I disagree, I think these shares are heading for £18. Over £2million sold on Friday.

I just sold 80% of my holding and grabbed a nice profit. That's never a bad thing to do. The rest of my shares are now at a very low cost average and I can just sit back and watch the fun. Somehow I sense they will indeed go to £4.00 to £4.50 in the next few months.........but who cares? My profit will go some way to getting me a nice business class flight to Bali.

Auson, well done! I wish I had done the same......and I probably would have done if Id got out of bed early enough to catch £3.40. I fear these markets are very treacherous and volatile.

I still think that these shares may have turned a corner. And they were looking over sold. But anything could happen in these markets.

I am proud to declare that for the first time ever I have bought in to Dignity at £2.99 I'm already in profit, which has cheered me up no end. I think short term this could go to £3.50 and maybe even £4.00 Despite the virus and people swapping to cheaper funerals, the company does have a large market share. And the funeral business is probably one of the safest money earners for the long term. It will be nice when they start paying a dividend, but they have always been a bit stingy even when the shares were £26. But they have expended the business. I have also noticed that the Directors have begun buying again.

Why have there been no broker ratings on this share since August 2019????

I said back in March that I would not look at these shares until they fell at or below my target price of £7. It could be that my target price is getting ever closer. Come on my lil beauty!

Indeed! But when do you think "sense and sensibility" will return? I'm retired now......if I have to wait too long, I will either have gone 'gaga' or will be pushing up daisies!

Down she goes again....it will soon be sub £2.00 I guess the nearer we return to normal after the effects of the virus, the worse it is for the value of these shares. I bet the Directors are happy they bailed out!

Down she goes again......sinking like a lead battleship!

I beg to differ! This board needs people who raise cons as well as pros. I was once a shareholder of ITV when the share price fell to 20p. It soon recovered to 40p, but was well off its high of well over £1 for many years. And I remember experiencing doubt when all the time people were saying that advertising was low. Well it looks to me that the same problem faces this company.
Ultimately it survived and things were turned around. But I am not buying any of these shares any time soon at the current price....as I see that in the future, things could potentially be much worse. I remember at the time there was talk of the Italians buying up the company....but it never materialized.

I've certainly stocked up on gin, whisky and wine....in fact there's a hot tip for you! If you are a drinker, its safer than shares, and provides a much better return than you'd get from a bank! They will probably slap 15% or more in tax on both to pay for all the bail outs! And then of course there is inflation...….back in the 1970s I think it got to 15-20%. Funny isn't it...…most of the mugs will think they are making money when shares go up......but in reality they will be just standing still or worse. It is all smoke and mirrors! I think you may be right...…..these shares could go to £20 short term anything could happen. The way I see it now it looks like it will play out like this...….shares will rise a little more and then decline in MAY. Possibly there will be another pull back.....then another nice rise from September onwards with everything rosy for the November elections. There after...."woe, woe and thrice woe!"

Olig, I strive to give a well balanced opinion. At the end of the day none of us know what will happen for sure, especially, short term, because what is blatantly obvious is this market is completely false and NOT reflecting the reality of the situation. But let me assure you, with 100% conviction...….those things that are currently appearing to defy gravity will sooner or later, come crashing down! My buying price for Fevertree currently stands at £5.00 I will buy more should they descend to the more pessimistic of my predictions.

Of course, it is more than possible that shares will continue to rise up to the November election in the USA or at least reach a plateau at around Dow 25,000. Which would mean that Fevertree will happily rise a little more....maybe another 10 possibly 20%, but in these markets, it is a risk that I, am not prepared to take. I note that results will soon be made manifest. Past results of course are no guarantee of what lies in the future, but if they are good, it probably will not drive the share down further. Ironically, in today's crazy markets, the more bad news issued, the higher prices seem to go. I await the short term and in particular, the long term outcome, with keen interest.

Hi Olig, it's nice that you find my posts amusing, but my aim is to be interesting and informative. I am indeed confident, because I know what I am talking about. You make two huge false assumptions. Firstly, that I am uninterested in these shares. Why then do you think I am spending so much time on this board? Secondly, you assume my motive is to de-ramp these shares. Fevertree is a good company and I do want to own some of these shares, but at the right price. My honest personal opinion ( which I must emphasise is NOT investment advice ) is that these shares at the current market price are too expensive for ME. My passionate warning is really not against the real value of this company, but a general warning about these phoney markets, which will definitely only get cheaper in the coming months as economic conditions deteriorate......or whenever the financial system or the dollar collapses. I am trying to make the wise aware of the bigger picture, rather than focus narrowly on the merits of the share itself. …….that ought to be to the ultimate benefit of us all. Im not half as impressed, as you seem to be, with the current market reversal. I see it only as a good opportunity to sell.

It's great that Fevertree has gone up and I'm pleased that some of the shareholders have got some of their money back. However, I agree completely with Jongle about this share's recovery. He is only stating what is plain for all to see, that the shares have moved up on average with the general rise in the market, due to the market being completely manipulated and falsely inflated with QE. it just goes to show how utterly false ad unreliable the stock market really is, when yesterday, the USA reported the worst employment figures on record, worse than the 1929 crash.....and yet the market still went up! What is happening right now has absolutely NOTHING to do with the relative strength of shares. However, had you bought some of the other shares that I have been following.....like National Express and William Hill, you really WOULD have made money! The interesting question here is why did they go up so much more than Fevertree? Was it because they were considered too cheap to the true value? Even I cannot answer this question for sure.....but I would like to think it had something to do with it. Anyway, good luck to everyone! I am only writing all of this to try and help people think objectively.

So the next question, after hounding the Directors for the last couple of years about not buying the shares is why aren't they selling? If I were them, I'd do it quick before they reach £1. Will Mike Mc Collum have to inform the shareholders of the sale of his 93,000 shares? Hurry up Mike...…..get that 186, 000 quid in the bank before it sinks to £93,000. "Let the dead bury the dead"! Get the money in the bank mate!

Oh Djframboise PLEASE filter me, I beg you!s Filter out common sense and insight if you wish...…….. and just see where it gets you!

Now we know why the Chief Executive Director wasn't buying any shares in the company......he was planning a dignified exit! And now he is probably planning a dignified retirement in the Bahamas. I wonder what sort of retirement most of the shareholders will have?

So Alton1, do you think this share is worth taking a gamble on? Or do you think the risks of the debt burden too great?
