If you look at the dates of movement in share price against barclays shifting their lot it looks like somebody helped hype the price to give them gain in price while selling! And since that event the price is dropping again! Just reading up on them though...I have a fair knowledge of franchising though over the last 10 years & one thing is a dead cert ...a franchisor charges for the business, fees & generally you have to buy all their products so it is very unlikely they will ever go bust.. However i know a Chips Away franchisee & he dosent own a Mercedes!!! Would buy at 15p or 16p for a long term investment because steadily this company will grow profits...
