That's me out (sold).

Seems whoever bid it up last week has been selling short since.. no rns but maybe to get in cheaper still?

Seemed a nice entry price at 132p before the auction.

Except there are rules around industrial pricing behaviour and competitive practices. Be aware that trade prices are cooling considerably now though, the "discounts" are already flowing..

Very naive to assume internet visible pricing is anything like wholesale, Eccles. Indeed, many sites are brass plate companies all coming back to the same core suppliers. The trade deals with merchants face to face, job by job. With possibly the exception of cement and some timbers, most goods have been readily available this year but at much higher prices. Wickes note this themselves. That is my point Culpepper - prices were hiked acrosx the board yet supplies were always maintained and demand readily satisfied. Daft comment from you Stefano, I'm a builder myself, we rarely get tucked up.

Highlights the pure profiteering behind the ludicrous price increases on many building materials and suspicious simultaneous increased markups applied by the sheds this year, as if anyone was in any doubt. No real competition exists in this industry, so tradespeople simply had to accept prices and try to pass them on. Government turns a blind eye conning uk that inflation is transitory. Levelling up, sure, of prices not productivity.

It is 'too' much! ;)

You see, you seem to be shouting people down. You want the last word no matter what. Whereas I simply want the last pound out of my investments.

Putting it very bluntly though, does this proclamation improve the investment case for LGEN? Selfishly I'm only interested in my pension performance and really couldn't care about the "woke" agenda where shouting people down appears to be the main objective, so what's the financial value of this manoeuvre?

This stock's price is primarily manipulated and managed by its major backers, so if they ain't buying it drifts, imo.

Depends upon your opportunity cost I guess, but we know markets are massive BS game, talked up one day and down the next, to maximise the churn rate. Bounce will be along soon enough.

Down... can't fight the gaps. Took me out early doors.

4 days of significant drops in wider market, across most sectors with significant gap downs, but DFS doesn't move, seems it's backers set auction prices protecting it and themselves.

Yep, I was watching it on Thursday too, and nearly bought in at 1550s but was distracted, so took a modest position in 1570s. Probably regret not piling in heavily, but still cautious obviously.

Laughable City shenanigans...wow, they got the 20% extra placed away after close at a 20% premium and despite stores all closed for foreseeable...nice work chaps.

Inevitable City driven funding (debt) bounce before 20pc equity issue. Still can't ant get 2 man delivery teams into private houses, tricky. Chinese supply chain resellers may not be UK flavour of the month going forward either..

30% off sale today! Looking more reasonable @115p..

Profits were down before Corona virus effects on retail activity are taken into account. Still looks expensive at 177p.

Come on, it's been for sale since at least April 2019. If its going anywhere now its going back to PE, and they will do you the *favour* of taking it off your hands cheaply.

Nowt.
