George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
Totally agree Common. 100%.
Although I feel that the government has now lost that much credibility and also won’t have enough money to fund another lockdown. But even if they did…as you say, and Rox has said. 2/3 weeks in Jan won’t make any difference. All we needed is now and the next 7 days.
Sold today, had enough, gone all in on CARD. GLA.
That’s what I like about this share. You can see what’s happening with your own eyes. High Streets and shopping centres are rammed! Even at 11am on a Monday morning. Bring on Jan results
I think Lovelace was talking about the predictability of the MM’s behaviour.
HEAVING!! 30 people shopping, 15 in the queue, 5 tills pinging. Constant stream!
Yes a good start. I was hoping to pick up a few more if went lower. Something fishing about the Lombard short, makes no sense, just 11 trading days left now till Xmas. All part of the game I guess! Going to check out White Rose Centre, Leeds today. Any questioning tips Rox?! Haha.
I live in Wakefield so could just hang out in Head Office reception:-)

I don’t hold BME, but always keep an eye on them because they have the same customer demographic as CF, on the high street, and a value/stack high sell cheap. So it’s good to gage just on those points ONLY. Especially footfall as they have zero online presence.
They have just released a special dividend. As below. So it’s a good sign for high street etc.
B&M European Value Retail S.A. (the "Company") announces that the Board has declared a special dividend of 25.0p per share, equating to approximately £250m in total.
At its FY22 Interim results on 11 November 2021, the Company announced continued strong performance versus pre-pandemic levels, with ongoing evaluation of its leverage and cash position.
Rox - that’s a great bonkers bargain article!!
Something I have picked up on when googling ‘Christmas Cards’ & ‘Birthday cards’ for there online, is that. They appear first and second or high up on the ‘Natural Rankings’ as opposed to Moonpig who come top but is an ‘AD’ on a pay per click basis.
Moonpig & FunkyPigeon will have eye watering amounts of marketing money to purely spend on ‘pay per click’ search engine advertising to come top of the search term. Whereas it seems CF although further down the page, but not by much, won’t be paying this! Or have not adapted this strategy. And more reliant on its brand name and search engine optimisation.
Might seem minor, but the Cost per Click advertising is MASSIVE!!
Well having just watched the news and the rehearsal press conference about the Downing St lockdown, I’m feeling EXTREMELY confident they couldn’t lock down even if they wanted to. Cheers Boris. https://www.itv.com/news/2021-12-07/no-10-staff-joke-in-leaked-recording-about-christmas-party-they-later-denied
Cheers Rox and BB. We are all in it together either way!
Yeah I have no doubt I’ll be back in again with Saga before the late Jan update. Have my eye on it everyday.
I’ve just sold my house, as new circumstances, so going to put a little sum aside to gamble and have some fun with.
I think once you go swimming, you’ll end up surfing!!
Always good to know someone like that! Always helps.
Only IMO I must stress! The Xmas trading will be very very good, similar theme to September in terms of Bastet price/footfall but better! will stave off any need for further ‘dilution’ of shares, which is why the directors bought above the now price. Which IMO will cause a jump as predicted in the link above.
If Shoe Zone did it, on the back of there peak time ‘Back to School’???
The main threat was a further lockdown, and that’s not going to happen with our vaccine programme, and even if it did…a few weeks in January won’t make any difference. We needed Xmas/NewYear trading. But it’s not happening anyway IMO.
I’m only a rookie…but based on all the overall analysis. I feel confident. I bought 25000 a while ago at 50p and sold at 57p. I’m now back in again at 50.80.
All IMO DYOR GLA
Cool, the link I posted above sums it all up to me.
based on a positive trading update in September, and we’ve seen busy Xmas trading for ourselves and with no lockdowns…this will all come down to Januarys trading update.
Put it this way at 50/52p I’d rather be in than out!!
What does your guy in the city reckon Couchman?
Check the ‘Cup and Handle’ formation also from the 23rd Sept to present, on the 3 month chart.
This is a very detailed analysis, link below -

This is clearly a deep value play with the following two most probable outcomes (based on model assumptions):
Heads - (part/full dilution at £0.30) - generating a smaller but above market return.
Tails - (no dilution) - more than 100% return with potential for 3x.
There’s only one top shelf I like.
Playboy or Readers Wives?! Same question. There is a market for everything. What I like about CF is the ever growing range of ‘hard goods’. The Mugs, the key rings, socks, slippers…etc etc. There are now 141 items like this on their website.
Its the ‘value hard goods’ you can put alongside a card. It’s not just about cards anymore. The product range is increasing.
GLA.
Again!! :-)
Going to buy some more. IMO. No way another lockdown or shop closures is going to happen. No one will put up with it anyway, and the speed and organisation of the vaccine/booster programme puts us well ahead of the virus. Despite the bu**sit headlines of these variants. Not washing with me.
Stores are very very busy as per our ‘feet on the ground research’
Debt managed and coming down
As previously said and I’ve mentioned before, big backlog in all forms of celebration all linking to CF products.
If SHOE results are anything to go by.?
GLA, DYOR, IMO.
