Let's see what happens, I was long vod for many many years going back to the £2.50 days, I'm sure we all remember them. Just decided there's more chance of making money with the debt on the other side of the trade. Long term great company, see £2.50 again, no I don't think so.

I tried shorting ftse but it won't roll over with the oilies. Now just put a big short on Vod as its sitting at 120, I think when school resumes and traders are back this will be back to 110-112 within a couple of weeks. Anything with debt will get mashed

Just put a big short on these think we are going sub 110 close below 120 should confirm. Don't wanna be long come October

I was an investor here I took the divis and finally sold at £2.20 with a 10% loss. There is no get rich quick in the stock market

Please everyone be careful with this market, I personally lost 1000s in the dotcom bubble years ago. If you all remember about 6-9 months ago all the adverts on tv with robinhood and buying fractions of shares. The only adverts now are of buying gold. These are dangerous times and you could have your wealth wiped out in a week. I've learnt my lesson the hard way. First rule of investing is can I sleep at night or go on holiday for 2 weeks without checking the price. If you answer no then you will loose your money because your investment is emotional. Please everyone be careful.

Cine just about gone, I can not believe VOD is still holding up with all the debt. I can see that going back to £1 quite quickly. Anything with debt in this market will get hammered come October I think

Do I go Cineworld or Man u to win tonight? One has a chance of paying off big time

Just added to my short at £5.25. Has anyone noticed gas has spiked 7% today now at highs for the year. Be interesting what happens this week with Ukraine independence day. Good luck all

Have a look at BGEO I averaged in back in March and April. In May director buys £250k. Tim last sold a chunk at £9 why is he not reinvesting to show some confidence in the business?

DRB that's exactly what I'm thinking, thankfully I hit the sell button on Cine a few years back at £2.30 when they took on so much debt for expansion. Personally I'm short JDW and long MAB as a pair trade. I think the directors here need to make a meaningful purchase for people to invest. The price looks "too cheap" if it is why are the directors not buying?

I see Cineworld is just about dead now with the debt, over 7% of the shares were short. Will keep a close eye on positions here, hedge funds might start attacking soon ?

Alas, I'm also looking to add in the next couple of weeks. I've been a holder for a good few years now. Holidays will always go ahead. The pawnbroking side has never had this "perfect storm" behind it which is coming, the only thing holding this back now is the price of gold, once that starts to move north all the chips are in place :)

Tell you one thing though going on old Liz's comments a few years ago I wouldn't wanna ring in sick of I was working for her.... The papers will come up with something next week. Someone I think did mention just before old Boris Pinocchio went that she was always away from work?

Miln, what's the latest with the voting can they change their minds at the last minute now or not?

It's amazing how "democracy" in this country works

I believe the main issue here is the cost of energy. JDWs energy is still fixed at pre Ukraine prices and is fixed till next year. The only way they can generate more income is to increase prices and close the gap between them and other operators. Whether enough of the punters will swallow the increase is the big question. I believe JDW will be forced to, the city will like it definitely in the short term and the shares will rally. At the moment the management are not doing anything regarding pricing. Smart move with the revamps though as it will only cost more next year. Unfortunately I think the hospitality sector is in for a really bad winter. After the summer we have had it should be flying, sods law says we are in for a bad winter weather wise and this will not help

Just added here following decline after ex divi date. This has been a good long term hold for me. Any buyout has to start with a 5, I'd rather continue to be a shareholder tho but everyone has their price lol

Survivor I feel for you but I think fresh lows are round the corner with this one. I could be wrong but I can't see any positive news or results coming in the next 6 months to drive this higher.

Crazy price here, the way the pound is performing DLG and a number of other companies will be on the yanks target list shortly

On another topic has Liz Truss signed an energy deal with someone. If not we'll all be sitting in the dark this winter while she's printing twenties like they are going out of fashion:)

Fishybilly, I was in Cine about 3 years ago, good divi payer a but saw debt mounting I took a small loss and exited at £2.10. I think people focus too much on the actual price of a share. You need to look at it more like Dragons Den. Whats the financials like, BOD can I see gaining market share etc etc. Just looking at a share price thinking it was this back then so it's a bargain is just gambling. Might as well go red or black better odds. Has anyone noticed how all of a sudden the online investment startups have stopped advertising?
