Nobody on here has opened a new short position on Superdry this morning if you believe otherwise I've got a bridge to sell you! The de-rampers spouting rubbish here are already caught in their short positions and they're trying to minimise their losses before they cash out. Who would short a stock the morning news drops on every investment platform that multiple companies are working on a takeover deal? Stop it my sides are hurting ha ha ha

Sorry my last post was for Deano not Evolve! It's been a long day.

Evolve

Yep every day is certainly a school day alright. We all get things wrong I just wanted to try and help you for future trades. When you buy a stock you've had your reasons to buy it and you've made a decision. Just don't let anyone in here then change your mind with their negative talk. They all have a motive.

Since JD announced he wanted to explore taking the company private nothing has changed. Absolutely nothing. All that's happened is that you've listened to people shorting the stock and they've changed your mind. That's what they want. Never mind what's done is done. I'm long and I'm still hoping for a good offer to come in. That seems more likely now after Sky reported JD is in talks with some of the big boys.

Good luck in the future mate.

You've got a lot to learn mate.

The de-rampers come on these boards in force trying to influence inexperienced investors like yourself into selling your shares and driving the price down. Evolve has even told you he's playing the share and switching from short to long whenever it suits. Always do your own research and never listen to people trying to de-ramp the stock. If they were genuine and didn't hold the stock do you think they'd waste their time on these boards "helping" everyone???? It's a lesson learned mate.

Ok thanks for answering. I did a bit a few years ago on IG with the FTSE100 and that could be traded 24/7 but wasn't sure about individual stocks.

Regarding you mentioning the £100m of debt. As off 2022 Davidson Kempner was ranked as the 8th largest hedge fund in the world with assets of over $36bn!!!!! £100m is buttons to these guys.

Evolve

Genuine question for you as I don't know. With your CFD can you close your short position 24/7 or do you have to wait until the market is open? Also is the SP fixed now until the open or in CFD land can it fluctuate after hours?

That's a great point. Hedge funds have analysed this forensically (that's what they do) and they've seen the SP double over the past few weeks and they still don't fancy shorting it. That speaks volumes.

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.

What faffing around Deano?

He said he's exploring taking it private and he has until March 1st to do it. What have I missed?

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.

Have we hit 20p yet?

Asking for Asartara.

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.

Thanks Bilbo.
