Why the offer was oversubscribed?

After all this… Can PFC return to being a profitable company?

I’ve lost so much on paper, I may as well hold and see what happens next… 250:1, that decimates holdings. I can’t see why they have done that? Brutal IMO.

I have a small concern that to fund the election promises the big banks could be subject to a “windfall tax” at some point in the next couple of years. The energy companies are first on the list at the moment but giving the banks a kicking is usually popular with the public. It seems an easy option for a few million quid and political popularity. No plans as yet but if the money runs out…. Just a thought IMO.

I couldn’t resist a few more at 3.72, IMO the world is going to get more automated…. If that is good or bad - who knows but either way robotics is not going to go away anytime soon. A long term punt, we’ll see what happens over time.

At around 2.37, while the FTSE 100 was down nearly 23 points. Could MKS be over the worst of the profit taking and negative sentiment? We will wait and see 😬

Mmmm, anyone guess where these will bottom out, I suppose the answer is - until they become an attractive bargain, personally IMO, I thought around 2.40 would be roughly the bottom after its rise… maybe/hopefully it’s close to it now? Holding long term so I’m not too concerned. Not pleasant to see though.

I will jump in, down over 3% today… this is the equivalent of the discount supermarket but for the pub/hospitality sector. In tough times Spoons will do okay IMO. Plenty of all day trade with breakfasts etc. It’s not really only just a pub anymore but it’s becoming a British institution.

I have been burnt too many times on turn arounds, there are lots of variables in a volatile retail sector with SDRY…. good luck to everyone invested here but in my opinion it is better to risk losing out on potential profit on a stock than risk losing hard earned money. After careful consideration this's one isn’t worth a punt for me sadly.

I was tempted to buy in yesterday but resisted it. If it drops significantly lower I will buy in, I’ve been watching it since it was 48p, maybe I have missed my opportunity but in my opinion this stock seems quite volatile. I will wait and see what happens.

Good question… holding while is plummeting is a mixture of emotions that should always be excluded from the investment. Fear of being wrong, faith in the business and people who run it? A fear that the moment you exit the stock it will rise significantly. If you can detach yourself from the emotion you will be a better investor. IMO - in my case - easier said than done. Another lesson learned. Personally I haven’t seen this scenario where there is complete loss of confidence in a stock in a such a short amount of time without any tangible reason. Surely an RNS would be released before then SP hit the teens, the damage has well and truly been done now unfortunately.

This is a reluctant sell for me this morning at just under 0.19 … I never thought I would see it at these levels, the cash is still earmarked for PFC, to buy more to increase my holding before the 20th of December if it carries on falling for a punt - or to get back in after the update if it steadily rises upwards, either way I have a choice but holding these and seeing it plummet daily is torture.

As Oscar Wilde said, bought some more this afternoon to reduce my average. IMO the best time to buy a stock is when it’s friendless. This is definitely Norman Nomates at the moment :) Time will tell.

Bought into this at 0.81, thinking it couldn’t drop much lower - below half the current SP, the more selling the more fear, the more fear the more selling. Patience is the answer, a long term play… in my opinion.

I’ve lost my shirt on VLS, my underpants on PHE and my socks on EQTEC…. I’m done with SAF & green energy stocks, I’ll concentrate on other investments with a proven track record. I don’t have the stomach anymore for a gamble.

Fortune favours the brave :)

Mars have paid a fair price for HOTC in my opinion, for once I manage to come out smelling of roses… I got in at £1.35 after the bad results last summer - but to be honest I didn’t expect this to happen in the current economic climate of uncertainty. Angus and Co have played a very lucrative blinder :)

The analysts comments are very encouraging. I bought in at £1.10 and have more than doubled my investment. I have no negative sentiment towards M&S and the broker forecasts will hopefully be accurate… my remaining holding will I’m sure be very profitable going forward. But with two wars raging and the current economic turmoil we are experiencing I feel that profit isn’t profit until it is crystalised. Good luck to all who invest M&S.

Sold up 50% of my holding this morning, retail is a volatile business and relies on lots of variables. A future report of disappointing numbers could set the M&S share price downwards…? I still have a stake in the business but I would hate to see any gains get eroded. Just my opinion though.

A tough one… CNA have done well for me over the last 18 months but to see profits daily dwindle away is torture, sold 75% of my holding to hopefully get back in at a lower price or invest elsewhere. Hard to know where this will bottom out?
