I’m happy to take losses. Have done many times. No need for the cash right now so happy to let it sit. Sure it’ll come back.
My point here was that I hope this educates those who have so far been incapable of reasonable discussion. I’m not hopeful.
Sitting on a loss now after this mornings announcement. While it’s bad news it’s part of a high-risk strategy that fortunately makes up a small portion of my portfolio.
This should serve as a wake up call to the commentators on here that ramp unashamedly (smalltrader, LPD, BC etc.) and attack any contributors that want to open a debate on Cineworld (Bonkers, Fun etc.).
There are risks with this particular company. We saw that today. Significant risks are there. That’s why we’re in it. We want big payouts. I’m holding on as the money is not needed now but let this be a lesson to the idiots that comment on here without a shred of objectivity.
Let’s hope for a reduced payout via the appeal. highly unlikely the decision will be overturned. Instalments is also unlikely. Refinancing probably going to be needed.
@Wellington99 - I find myself unwilling drawn into responding to some of these nonsensical comments .
A morality issue. Good luck with your short.
Johnny - have you actually cast an eye over what 'Plan B' might involve?
Lol

Of course, restrictions will only apply to us lot.
@Walshy007 nope mate. Sells exceed buys. Simple as that.
Only a matter of time before the algos come for our livelihood too!
This is covered quite frequently on this bulletin.
Supply demand is the driver of share price (not conspiracies). The price is determined by the level of buy/sell orders in the order book, maintained by CREST. When the share price is down in a given day, yous expect the value of sell orders to exceed buy orders. Transactions are just part of the picture. It’s also to do with orders that are unmatched in CREST.
Hope that helps
TS - the product of being confined to home for 12 months +. Cinema won’t die our. It may shrink/expand overtime but there will always be a ready market to serve. People go there for an experience you can’t get at home. Some may be swayed by convenience or cost but the vast majority go for because it’s a day out and you cannot replicate it at home.
Telling you what you already know
I like you, Olpps.
^^^ why can’t you report a post for being inconceivably stupid? @Adam2003
My bad! That's the one!
Molokai - read up on behavioural investing. James Mortimer is your man.

^^ People who always criticise lending stock take note.
As many others have pointed out in the past, lending stock is a perfectly acceptable and has a number of uses beyond lending liquidity to the market. Banks often offset their risk by taking out shorts in a number of assets. Very little shorting activity is speculative. Some clients of investment banks often want long/short exposure to a given asset. This can be structured in such a way that the client gets the long/short exposure and the bank is left with the short/long exposure. In order to offset the risk the bank has taken on, they will in turn take out some long/short exposure to net it all off. These types of deals are often set up in complex derivative structures to transfer the risk from one party to another. The bank will take a small commission for enacting this but the risk is neutral for them.
Not as exiting as Christian Bale taking on Wall Street but there you go.
If you do find it interesting, take a look at any investment banks financial statements. You will find this activity disclosed in their activities. They usually include financial instrument disclosures too, which show their long/short positions across assets (equity, debt, derivatives etc.).
@Wellington99 - BC has deep pockets.
If the former, I believe and support your decision to share. If the latter, then you’re a lying shorter deramper with no knowledge or sense.
ST - some bedtime reading for you. Investing is not about finding a 100% perfect investment. No such thing exists.
