As it goes, your last comment qualifies as really malicious!

2009 was the year that interest on bank deposits went so low as to be worthless, there was therefore a rush of folks joining sites like this to be informed about share owning/trading. They were exciting times, highly volatile, with 20% gains, or losses, happening daily. Served some really well, whilst others lost their shirts. TPT lost a massive part of its mcap in that era, many folks thought it wouldn't survive. A lesson perhaps that sentiment has a strong role to play. Depends what size of a crisis the current one is, but it will have a negative influence on the willingness of consumers to spend on non essentials. That's just a plain fact, not just the view of bitter old me. Or maybe the word realistic would be a better fit.

When the key commodity that affects the cost of almost everything is as volatile as this is, no-one can control costs. Believe me, at this time anyone who tells a shipper they will not accept surcharges will not get their goods shipped. Live in the real world, your PR spin is so exposed. Are you paid to do what you do?

They can't, the cost pressures are inevitable, and you know it.

Seems I wasn't mistaken then.

Don't see much mention of upwards pressure on shipping costs, and factories upwards pressure on costs.

As for the increase in house sales, watch this space,

Aint going to happen IMHO

Explains the recent flurry to some extent, and confirms the point that anyone who wants to hold more will have to bid more.

All good, well done Stuey Luey.

Doesn't seem possible to argue with Trotters, off he goes, inventing commercial producers in Morocco. Really no grasp of what a modern factory looks like.

Shippers have notified surcharges on containers, increased fuel and insurance costs. Interest rates will rise, not fall, because inflation will be on an upward trend. Judging by the media reports, Iran won't be selling oil to anyone for years now, infrastructure in a junkyard.

That's very wordy. And completely not applicable to the main tile producing countries. In fact, one of the main producing countries has just ceased all activity due to a shortage of available gas (guess which country was their main supplier ! )

You can waffle all you like, there is already worry at the factories everywhere. Hopefully the hints that the worst is over will stabilise prices before inflation and interest rate rises bring on a slump in demand.

Sure is part of retail, a positive blizzard of them lately.

And they cost.

To be very brief. Production of the core product uses gas. Lots of gas. Gas prices are not stable. That's what I mean when I talk of energy price shock.

What they use directly to run their stores is another issue, but that is set to rise as a direct result of our pathetic decision to join in with the hughly damaging EU plan to further carbon tax. I've heard rumours about planned store closures, but stress they are rumours, nothing official yet.

I'm not claiming to know more, or less, than you. Just pointing to the ever strengthening headwinds facing UK retail.

If you are not reading the economic outlook affected by energy price shock, that's your business. Don't try to inflict your blind optimism on others though.

Never hurts to restate the case here IMHO

There may be others wondering what Provexis is all about, the information is all there on the recent update, and the optimism is hard to overlook.

All depends on each person's assessment of what future sales of Fruitflow can be, So many patents for efficacy in so many fields of human health, so many large companies that could either run Fruitflow based products, or indeed seek to own the IP

Since the last update, there has been a step change in positivity here. Suggest you read it, and make your own mind up.

Does it appear to you that they can repay debt when they are not making enough to meet the payments?

Flogging assets perhaps. but are they bound to the bonds ?

Not good.

I think the market is not expecting news this week. I know Dr H thinks otherwise, hope he's right, but it seems to me the heat came off once the holiday period commenced. Having been there, my experience is that Chinese New year celebrations last longer than a week. That many people travelling to be with relatives is a huge task.

A little more patience IMHO

Think of the value of the trades, the fact that they were all taken with no dip in the Bid, and compare this to the total mcap.

Feeling silly yet?

Between 13.51 and 14.11 someone bought a load of shares.

Which all means diddly in the long term.

Too bad we weren't able to see the live trades yesterday afternoon. That was a mighty step up in the Bid/Ask in one go.

Must admit, I'm in "stunned mullet" mode witnessing this, hardly dare to look at what the increase is on my holding. If someone wants to buy any of them, they'll have to pay a lot more than this level.

Does anyone else recall the article by Winnifrith a fair few years ago, when he said there would be a stampede for the exit at 1.5 ?

Let's see shall we.

Surely they've got an obligation to disclose an accurate finish sp?

Most peculiar mama.

A market is being made, and MM's seem to be employing dodgy tactics to hide some trades. To me, that's much better than the period when a handful of tiny trades were all we saw most days. The more than doubling of Bid price must indicate buying pressure?

BWTFDIK

Top button reports 24 trades currently, including the most recent very large one. Detail below shows only 14.

Can anyone else see the missing 10?

Not the first time I've noticed this lately
