Does anyone else find it strange there's no information coming out at all since the initial disclosure. Normally the press do articles on stuff like this and speak to people concerned. Cant find anything. It's almost like there's a complete media blackout! Very strange.
I don't comment a great deal as you've seen but my take on it is that I think and I hope that JD and his backers will take this private. I'm guessing somewhere between 70p and £1.20 which is a steal. Not sure how long term holders would feel about this though.
Starbright,
If 75% of a company's creditors agree to reduced payments through a CVA, all creditors are bound by the arrangement. Unlike other insolvency processes, a CVA means that the shareholders remain in control of the company and stand to benefit from its success.
Evolve,
You do you mate I'm just explaining why some people think you're scum. Whether you short a company using shares or you go short using a CFD you still want to see misery and misfortune and then profit from it. As I say, you do you.
Evolve,
Lots of people have problems with anyone that shorts a company. If you're short at £1500pp like you said yesterday then your ideal scenario would be complete wipe out, store closures and hundreds of job losses. You'd enjoy your money while some of those people that have lost jobs can't then feed their kids or pay there mortgages. Some families could be made homeless. As long as you make a few quid though that's ok.
I went in to my local WOSG store today (Goldsmiths) and they actually had 6 Rolex watches for sale alongside the demo stock! In amongst them were two Sky Dwellers, a Yachtmaster and an all Rose Gold GMT. What surprised me was the GMT. Years ago you would see all gold models for sale quite regularly but over the past few years even these have been hard to buy and normally involved waiting 12 months plus. Just goes to show demand is slowing down and the market isn't what it used to be.
I've gotta be honest I've never been a fan of Superdry clothing. Always been aware of the brand but it's just never appealed to me in the same way Next hasn't. Anyway today I thought seeing as I'm invested I thought it would be a good idea go and visit a store and see what it's like from a customers point of view. Being pretty neat to me I went to the one in Liverpool One shopping centre in Liverpool City Centre. It's quite a large store compared to some on there probably around 3000/4000sq ft.
Anyway, far from it looking like a retailer that was facing insolvency like some would have you believe it looked fantastic. It was really well stocked (I'm talking full), all the stock was arranged well laid out and looked really tidy, the place was spotlessly clean and it was well staffed. It had customers and people were buying. It DID NOT look like a retailer in distress. I even came away with a couple of t-shirts!
Made me feel much better about my investment here. Now can we have the offers!!!
Good luck all.
Over 1000 small trades around 1525-1530 this afternoon that look like sells to me. Says they're delayed publication OTC trades. Never seen this before at the end of a trading day can anyone explain what they are and would this have caused the big drop at that time? Thanks
