I do not share your confidence but let’s hope so
Just doing an end of year portfolio review and Angle is my dog of the year for the 2nd year in a row. Will they go for the hatrick next year?
Thank you to Rolls Royce and M&S for providing me with a generous windfall this year to more than offset my losses at Angle.
New Year and new hope or just hopeless. Please discuss
I love how people on this board get excited when there is a presentation coming up. Have you not looked at what happens normally after one of ANs presentations? Will it be 10 or 20% off this time?
I told this board months ago that 10p was the bottom and would be reached and got lots of abuse. Will be interesting to see if this is the lowest it will go? When you see the shareprice graph for the last year, I am amazed that people still buy this share
It’s been a long time coming but 10p by end of the week. What an absolute shambles. Now wonder if this is a case of going into administration or a really low ball offer in the region of 5p?
I think that M&S will have a great Christmas and will pick up a lot of trad from John Lewis who have really lost their way under the current CEO. The risk is that JW have such a bad Christmas that they sack the Ceo and get someone I. That knows something about retai.
I believe that the update tomorrow will be very positive especially on food. I also think that MKS will pick up the trade of thousands of former John Lewis customers over the Christmas period. Christmas will be fantastic for them as their seasonal offer (again especially on food) is great. They are also finally moving forward on womens clothing but sadly mens clothing is as poor as ever. Even my dad is turning his nose up at M&S clothing. The momentum is finally with this company
Who would have thought that Holly leaving would lead to an increase in the shareprice? I for one am glad to see the back of her and Schofield. ITV must stop trying to build a company on boring fake so called TV personalities
Start of an overdue correction or dead cat bounce? I have no idea this time
75 % decline last year, 100% next year. Absolute scam, just sorry I got sucked in. Made loads on way up, sold out and should have stayed out. Sadly bought back in at £1. Live and learn
I can see this going into administrationwih Dunkerton then buying the most profitable parts of the business at a bargain price. Only hope for shareholders is someone like a next making a bid
Let me guess - administration followed by Julian buying top 50 stores. Shareholders get f all. This time next yr profits of £25m+. One big game with only 1 winner
So I thought that we would be at 10p by now but we are seeing the dizzy heights of 12/13p! I have written off my now very small holding as I still think that this is going to zero. Funny to see some still think that this company is going to make them rich. Hope dies last
What a terrible business update and the shares go up 4%. I do not understand this shareprice. The bit about the ladies World Cup generating additional revenue is hilarious. Who is watching lunchtime games where the quality of football is lower than the average 12 year old school football match? There is woke and there is fantasy!
You know that you want to get there, 10p by end of next week as I predicted earlier in the year?
I said that I would return when the shareprice was 10p but I am on holiday next week and so will not be able to post. Previously I thought 10p was the bottom but now I am thinking zero. Great idea, no ability to commercialise, CEO with a massive ego and no real commercial credentials and no buyers to take it over.
It was however a great share for me, riding the waves. Sold, made money, bought back in and sold again. I did slip up by investing some of my profit at £1 and then holding but if you bet on black every time, red will eventually come in.
Lessons learnt, money made and slightly burnt. Overwhelming lesson is do not believe the hype.
We can all keep moaning about the CEO on this forum or hopefully someone can come up with a reasonable suggestion as to how we can get her removed. Her strategy is to allow ITV to loose viewers each year and invest in the studio business. It is a managed decline of half the business and the balance needs readdressing. Her strategy is wrong and she is taking £2m a year to reduce 50% of the business and only adding marginal increase to the other 50%. There is a place for ITV that does not involve the same programmes every week with a few favoured presenters. Where are the new ideas, programmes and younger presenters? Dancing dogs and eating insects is a pretty niche and declining format.
Carolyn giving more evidence that £2m+ is a ridiculous salary to pay someone of such little talent. It’s time shareholders upped the pressure on major Changes at ITV.
Once the CEO goes (and it is just a matter of time), we will soon be back to 80p+. ITV still has a future, we just need someone more dynamic at the top. We need someone who realises that you cannot just keep doing the same old programmes over and over again. Britains Got Talent has had its day and I am a Celebrity is becoming very tired. There are so many channels and so it is important to have exciting new shows. It is probably also time to say farewell to Holly and no more dancing dogs!
This media storm is never going to blow over with Holly making this all about her. Phillip had an affair with a younger man (more fool him. This sort of thing goes on in every workplace in the country and colleagues just get on with it. iTV is more than brand Holly
