@zstars, I reckon anything under £1 is a steal when looking further down the line.
Especially if you take the seriously long term view of where we'll be 3-5 years from now.

I really thought Jangho might've sold a load on last week's spikes.
They have previous form for that.
But no RNS today says to me that they are either deadly serious about a T/O or they now see more profit down the line as we see the light at the end of the Covid tunnel.
Either way, it's good news for us that they are still around and haven't unloaded.
Keeps all those nefarious shorters and manipulators on their toes AND we get ever closer to that re-opening RNS.

Sound advice, Chris.
Whatever MF advise, do the opposite.
And we'll all be retired in the bahamas!

I don't mind popcorn at the cinema.
But I prefer ice cream. And Mooky would prefer you did too - he said it himself! ;D

LSE doesn't seem to have updated late trades on any of my stocks today.
Where is the next best place to get a look at these, please?

That is indeed a huge milestone.
10 million in just a month - give or take a few days.
Out of a population of 67 million. Wow.
And we don't need to vaccinate everyone.
At this rate, by somepoint in May, we'll have vaccinated everyone bar children.
We're also getting better and faster at it with each day that goes by.
Absolutely fantastic news and what a brilliant advert for the UK as a whole.

@PinkEye.
I only have JazzFM on whilst I'm working from home and their news is running the fear campaign for the new variant, quoting ONE doctor that he thinks that the vaccines won't work against it.
I'm guessing the other MSM's are running with similar and spooking people while the shorters see an opportunity to bash the price down.
Hopefully Jangho have their hoover out.
Be intersting to see if they sold at the highs last week. If there's nothing this eve or tomorrow on the RNS front then this gets VERY interesting.

Most of our shorters took their positions before the pandemic due to Cine taking on debt for the Cineplex takeover. But they never saw Covid coming. (Or did they..? One for the X-Files!)
Anyways, my question is - when will they close that position and buy back?
If most of them were taken out somewhere between £1.50 - £2, you could say they are in no hurry to buy back.
But conversely, will they ever get a better return? I doubt they ever saw it going sub £1 initially.
So surely with things now steaming ahead for going back to normal, their profits will diminish?
They could've banked an absolute fortune in the teens and twenties but can understand that they thought Cine was going bankrupt at that point so held.
But now that the UK and the U.S are on a roll with the vaccines and both governments eager to get their economies open, why wait for the sp to rise further and lose profit?
What will make them buy back?
The reopening RNS?
Hitting 1.50?
Is it all computerised?
I just don't get why they would wait until the price is back near what they sold at.
Any ideas?

Good to see you again, Z.
Hope all is well now.
It's all gone a bit weird on here of late!

I don't like to politicise here but for all the criticism they got at the start, our government's handling of the vaccine roll out has been incredible and will probably make the history books.
It looks like we'll be the first western country to reopen our economy fully which is absolutely brilliant and a source of pride.
Just need the U.S to catch up and we're in great shape.
Great way to start the month. :)

*STREAMING IS THE FUTURE CLAXON*
No it's not and you damn well know if.
Streaming is not a social experience.
Streaming is not a day out.
Streaming is not cheaper than the cinema.
Multiple subscribtions + Sky package +TV licence=£100's per month for a poorer experience in your sad room with the same people you've been couped up with for the last year.
Cine Unlimited Card = lees than £20 p/m.
It'll be stronger than ever.
Try again paid deramper boi!

My brother has been asking me all sorts of questions since the Gamestop situation went viral.
So I've been explaining it all and he's been lapping it up.
He then asked me about how shorting works and I was doing great up until he asked 'so, why would you loan out the shares you bought just for someone else to theoretically never give you those shares back?'
And it stumped me.
In our world for example, Goldman Sachs buys tens of millions of shares at a cost of millions.
- They lend the shares out to people who think Cine will fall
- If Cine goes bankrupt, those shares are worthless
- Goldman Sachs lose all the money they paid for them
So why lend them out?
Do they only lend on companies they think will come back eventually so it's extra income in the meantime through loan fees?
Cos otherwise it makes no sense and I couldn't provide an answer.
I know we're all just pretty much average joe's here but if anyone could explain the reasoning behind that, even if I'm missing the bleeding obvious, I'd be grateful!

It's shone a very bright light on the fact that the Big Boys at Wall St don't like it when the boot is on the other foot.
They will resort to forcing trading platforms to deny the average joe a chance by actually REMOVING the buy options on their accounts or limiting them to small trades for certain stocks.
Even AOC is wading in to get this evened out.
It all absolutely stinks but this is the world in which we live in.
But back to Cine, good storng finish and no reddit army required.
The Covid battle is being won and we have what looks like to be a possible takeover candidate waiting in the wings.
Vodka tonight.
I'll catch you all Monday.
Love and kisses, Crumpets.

Usually, the BBC news homepage is plastered with the numbers of increasing deaths and cases.
Couldn't find the numbers anywhere on their frontpage. I wondered why.
Then I saw the governemnts actual figures: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/
All the metrics are coming down.
This will only snowball in the coming weeks.
New vaccines coming onto the market all over the place.
We won't need redditers. This will stand back tall on it's own two feet.

Loved that video, NOFEAR.
Particularly the Dead Cat Bounce shot at the end - very familiar for this board!!

Is it just coincidence or has anyone else had the thought that Jangho's build and possible takeover was the motivating factor behind the incentive plan?
A nice gooodbye for Mooky to sweeten the passing of the torch of a hard earned global family business.
The timing just makes it very convenient.
But as I said earlier, not getting excited yet. Does start to make you wonder though.

I'll get excited if there isn't a RNS next week saying they've sold that 1% again from today.
If they hold a week from here, then Cine really is a 'target' as they like to call it.

Ah, Mr. Bond.. Looks like you need a vodka martini to rinse out all that saltiness.

As an old hand holder of this share, I'm just happy it's above 50!

From an outsider's viewpoint, it looks like they want to take it up to 100.
Guranteed that if i invested, it would bomb straight off the bat!
In all seriousness and in my very own opinion, I thnk the U.S redditors hold and buy and don't sell as easy as us.
I expect a big increase up to the weekend on that basis.
