That's very helpful Wyn. Thank you. I have about half in an F&S so I could bed & breakfast that half – either side of Dec 1 – and hope that SNOW doesn't just keep going on up on results. A straight 'up' is quite unlikely.
(Trouble is I might put it in eve instead!)
I don't have a sure fire alternative in mind and I am in for the longer haul... I have time to think before December 1st.

I know you have trouble getting some people to understand that TA is not predicting the future. I quite like this analogy, not that I practice TA other than looking at previous highs and lows..
There was a programme many years ago and they talked of early roulette wheels. Some people spotted that there was a bias in some wheels and, for eg, red would come up more than black, or whatever. So they bet on red all the time and, more often than not, beat the casino. They were not predicting that red would come up next throw, just that it was more likely on balance to be red. That's about it isn't it? (They now move wheels from table to table so the bias can't be tracked).

I got back into G4M, just a small amount, this morning.

Still most hopeful that eve will come through!
Atb, D

Agent B, booked my 3rd jab for Dec 9th (2 days after the earliest possible day). Why wouldn't I? Could help me travel to France at Xmas.
And if I do catch Covid I'll have fewer symptoms and potentially cough on fewer people (OBVIOUSLY I'll be testing myself at home with AffiDX by then so I'll know if I'm infected :) thus minimising the spread.

Dontgive, I just looked and while the sleep away 'set' (£299) is out of stock, people cane still buy all the items separately (for £307).
Could be a bit of clever stock management going on ;-)
They must be popular which is good news.

(Wyn, are you still popping in? If you have a moment what do you think of the chart for $SNOW Snowflake? I'm up maybe 50% over two accounts. I reckon you'd bail around now but I never can. They have news on Dec 1st)

CC said Argos sales were particularly important and seems that people can’t just return their eve if bought through Argos (or other shops) so maybe fewer returns going fwd. Also, I doubt Argos sales would register on similar web website traffic site. And people would leave reviews at Argos rather than on the TP eve site

'Eve is another bed-in-a-box mattress brand. Mattress deals can be found on the brand's Eve Sleep website, or via some retailers, such as Next. Similar to Emma mattresses, Eve also offers trial nights so you can try the mattress. Currently there is a 100-night trial, and if you don't love the Eve mattress you can send it back free of charge. Be warned: if you buy an Eve mattress via another retailer, such as Argos, the Eve trial nights offer doesn't apply. Check before you buy.'

and they refurbish them, new cover, and sell them (some on eBay).

I imagine that when CC predicted consistent profit in 2022 she didn't know exactly when they'd report it herself. But it would suggest middle at the latest to me or could hardly be 'consistent'.
They *could have* posted a profit last time but didn't as they wanted to grow the business... Rather down to CC when they post a profit then, unless things go off-track.

At least a profit, even a small one, would mean eve would get bought for a fair price at the very worst.

(Hopefully things will go better than that and the 2022 profit will be as consistent as CC suggested it would be, and then grow some more.)

My recollection - completely without double checking – is that he paid.

sales = shares

Might account for today's 1.3m share sale
Afraid I'm really not with you on the share buyback dontgive. The share price will go up if the profit arrives and then goes up more. Buying back sales reduces the dilution, and yes, theoretically helps the sp, but does nothing for the fortunes of the company, imo..
Someone is still buying 100k chunks of eve.

1,300,000 Sell* 36.40k – are very round numbers so unlikely to be an entire holding. Subsequent large sales were of very random numbers (284,337 Sell* 8,274) so could be the seller clearing out completely?
From our pov I think better they are out before the next update. I would've held on till then, or just before. Perhaps they simply spotted something they prefer to invest in and now was the moment.

Just catching up with posts on other BBs (which involves reading wyn on Boo-hoo)
However there was another poster there giving all sorts of interesting stats regarding the move to online shopping. Here's the poster and it's his /her posts titled THINGS TO REMEMBER IN THE XMAS RUN UP......
https://www.lse.co.uk/profiles/southcoastbather/

Neighbour – early 60's – in our road lost his wife to lung caner week before last (never a smoker) but was very careful throughout lockdown as she was vulnerable so double-jabbed etc. Learned today that he's got covid and staying at home, feeling pretty rough with it.

He should be ok thanks to being double jabbed.

Woodstock, if you give us the key words (author and title, and site name for example) we can probably google it. Copying the link is best but doesn't always work either.

Could be the correct figure for CC but not sure that it isn’t whole of 2020 according to this site. Eve were (purely from memory) advertising for a manager recently on a salary of >£50k so for the chief executive officer of a public limited company to be on £102K is probably understandable. I imagine she’d nearly be on that salary at the AA if she’d stayed. Also, she is doing the job of the chief marketing manager at eve so saving £50k – £60k there. To me the important thing is that she turns the ship around.

I wonder why TP is, on the face of it, receiving more. Maybe her options are better and a better incentive. The buck stops with her whereas he is crunching the numbers so has less effect on the strategy of the business.

'A lack of sleep or that of poor quality can leave us feeling grumpy and irritable, as well as fatigued' – come on Inch, treat yourself :)

It's never been more crucial to get a good night's sleep. Life is getting back to normal; regular work hours are resuming and our social calendars have never been more packed.

With both physical and mental health on many peoples' minds more than ever, we have looked at how you can sleep better, including what to do before, during, and after a night's shuteye.

A lack of sleep or that of poor quality can leave us feeling grumpy and irritable, as well as fatigued. It's hard to work at your best when tired but sleep deprivation can also have serious effects on your health.

Sleepless nights result in more than just a bad mood, putting you at risk of obesity and other physical health conditions - not to mention increasing anxiety and chances of depression.

According to Cheryl Calverley, CEO at Eve Sleep, sleep is always the answer. "Without good sleep it’s impossible to lose weight or be fitter, improve your mental health and be happier, be a better partner, friend, parent, or son/daughter, be a great leader, manager, team-mate or colleague at work, reach your full potential in whatever it is you want to be and do, or simply live a life as full of happiness as each and every one of us deserve."

She goes on to say that, frustratingly, many people don’t realise the importance of a good night's sleep and that prioritising other aspects of wellness ahead of sleep will ultimately not help improve your physical and mental health. "Sleep is where it begins, and ends, and is fundamental to living a healthy and happy life."

Docdaneeka, might cycle past you in Bushy Park one of these days!

Yanis, yes, should be around December 2nd, or maybe they'll make it the Friday or following week. I re-read last year's December 3rd update earlier and it was very strong with great Black Friday sales. I hope we do as well this November.
I hope Inch was talking about the original management and not CC :)
Still, I guess we all have our freedom of opinion

Looks like we'd be up were it not for the uncrossed trade at the close.
Some more 100k chunk buys today.
