Just bought here today at 120. Fundamentals look good and recent large purchase from Kenneth Stannard is encouraging.

Revolution Beauty has 65% 5*. However, the future is not looking good for them. Let’s hope it’s a different outcome for W7 🤞

An intelligent response that deserves the thumbs up. There is also the short reduction on 10th Sept. This could easily climb from here. Happy to watch on the sidelines and prepared to buy at the right price.

Down again today and will continue downwards for the next month or so at least. The Reviews on Trustpilot are very relevant. The share price is often determined by future expectations, not previous sales. Having read the reviews I am concerned initially by the negative comments but even more by the poor response from W7L. It looks like they do not care about their customers or feedback about their products. This is enough to deter me from buying any shares in the company.

If they have a change in their customer service team then I would consider investing when the sp reaches a much lower figure.

Good luck to long term holders.

Sold yesterday. Having bought in July at 330 I’ve made a healthy profit. The tide is about to turn, so time to say goodbye. Thanks for the free money.

Sold everything today at just over 500. It was Tuesday that helped make my decision. The FCA appear to have an agenda that ignores the SC decision. I cannot see a rapid rise from here. I initially bought in Nov 24 and have more than doubled my stake with some lucky tariff trading. Good luck to holders - I may return, especially if there is another downturn.

I have seen the recent fall and was considering buying in the hope it would recover. I checked their website and the Trustpilot.

Trustpilot reviews have convinced me not to buy any shares. They include amongst others: Some products are ok but some are not great. Found that if you leave a review less than 5 stars on the website it gets removed...don't be fooled by all the 5 stars as

The FCA response is incredible. It’s as though it’s been written by a child. I’m so pleased I doubled my stake in CBG today. I’m expecting a big rise in the sp on Tuesday.

The number and style of posts does have a correlation with the sp. As the SC decision approached it was completely understandable that more investors would comment and share predictions. When the news is out the number of posts inevitably declines.

The posts now being added by Manfor and Chid are reflecting anxiety from shorters who are concerned that the sp may rise. They don’t have logical arguments to use because there aren’t any. Instead they resort to insults and comments which are unfounded or irrelevant.

I personally think there increased posting is a positive sign that the sp will rise 🤞

This has got a lot further to go simply to catch up with the major banks.

“I’m down 120000 in profits”. I’m assuming this is GBP. If it was Elon referring to losses in Tesla then it would be irrelevant. If it was an individual’s pension pot in an ISA then it would be very sad. Instead use percentages. For example, I bought CBG in Nov 2024. My money has increased by over 100%. If an individual had bought in August at 550 then they have made a loss of about 20%.

Try to imagine your shares like a personal item somebody wants to buy. If they offer you £500 today and you reject their offer you are very unlikely to sell the item to them tomorrow if they lower their offer to £460. As long as you haven’t accepted any offer you still possess the same item. However, if somebody offers you £600 in a few weeks for the item, don’t be afraid to sell it.

Buy at the bottom, sell at the top and don’t get upset about losing a few pounds : money isn’t real, it’s an abstract concept designed to help people cope with things that are unimportant.

Their initial investment was A$40.4 million in July 2023 for an approximately 15% stake .

I’ve been watching this share for a few months and observing Rio’s accumulation. I’m still undecided as to whether it’s a good share to hold.

I also have shares in BYTES, this isn’t cross ramping but relevant to share buy back. On Friday they announced a planned share purchase. I thought I’d do a bit of homework and read the following article: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/buyback.asp

I think this is a relatively simplified summary that presents both pros and cons of a buy back. With respect to CBG I think it would be positive. It would potentially increase the price a bidder would have to pay whilst also possibly inflating the sp if retail investors choose to sell. The article also highlights the negatives of companies not choosing to invest in growth opportunities. However, I don’t think this applies to CBG.

I think we’ve got several weeks of flat lining after a recent rise but my prediction for this time next year is 750-800. Better than a savings account but with risk. I’m happy with this rate of return…….

If I was new to the stock market I’d probably be selling now, fearing that it was on a downward trend after the recent rise. I’m not new to investing, so I’ll keep my shares and consider buying more if it drops as low as 500.

Instead of looking at intraday movements focus on the long term pattern. When results are announced, dividend reinstated, offers to buyout are promoted the sp will rapidly rise. You need to own the shares before these announcements are given to fully profit from them.

I suspect Coronation may have had an inkling this was in the pipeline and have wisely bought in advance. I think it makes a takeover less likely, however as a long term reliable investment it’s a good buy at any price below 500.

I checked them out today after reading the RNS. I can’t believe they only have 5 investments and one of them is Belluscara. This is against nearly all the advice you’re given when investing money. Just appears to be complete ignorance and stupidity. It’s ok if you are gambling with your own money but who would trust them with their money?

Why are TEK invested in Belluscara? Surely this should be ringing alarm bells that management are incompetent.

I wish I’d bought before today’s announcement, however the fundamentals are very impressive. I’ve checked the Snoop app on iOS and it has fantastic reviews.

Let’s hope it’s onwards and upwards.

Really impressed with their performance and it’s boosted my confidence in my recent purchase here.
