Sold my holding today at £19.10 came in at £8.80. Whilst I can see may have further to go in short term, I think long term a significant fallback is On the cards. Saying you can order every 5 days could be due to improving background processes. Or could be fall off in demand. If you go to Supermarket in evenings, you can walk straight in shop and out with no queues. Customer retention is the name of the game. I think we will see £15 before we see £22. Good luck those still onboard. I will come back in at below £16.
Only have a small holding here, and got out of EasyJet before the crash set in. The Reasons Government did not do this earlier are pretty obvious. Faced with massive bills for repatriation flights, were they really going to then pay for all those people to live in hotels for two weeks. Now repatriation is coming to an end, cost can be paid by the passenger. I wonder how many of those repatriated actually have a UK home, compared to just. British passport and coming here to stay with family.
Been in and out of EasyJet over the years, Managed to get out at £14.30 and came back in at £5.11. Just exited again at £5.69, can see this going much lower. I can not see people back on planes for at least 9 months.
As an ex staff member, the bonus rules as applied by HM GOV are that bonuses to all staff are paid as follows in Cash £2000 in March salary. Remainder of any bonus in shares in June. Many staff opt to have the shares sold in bulk and receive the cash in the June share distribution. I assume that this means these staff bonuses are also now cancelled. Are any current staff on this board who can confirm this ?
Unless AHO can find another bloody HBOS to try and snap up in this crisis, then I think this drop is way over done. The financial crisis in itself did not ruin Lloyds for the last 12 years. That was largely down to buying HBOS, god forbid AHO is looking round eyeing to screw us over with another bankrupt purchase. I will top up at 45p.
Wine cellar. Your comment indicates that we could (Maybe) expect a payment of around £1 per share from the funds held in Escrow. What i don,t understand is whether this £1 is currently included in the Market Share price. Basically what i am asking is if Watchstone distribute £1 per share to all current Share holders, would the price drop to 47p per share ?
The one thing I love about Fevertree is their innovative marketing. I have been in John Lewis this morning and was drawn to a busy sales stand offering a taster of 9 different gins, along side the Fever Tree tonic range. You were able to purchase a Christmas Cracker packaged double shot of gin with a fever tree tonic . It was an interesting and innovative offering at £8. Sales were brisk whilst I was there. Once again well done FT you are so ahead of our competition in promoting the product.
Just a heads up that Goverment rules are applied and a maximum of £2000 can be given in Cash. Lloyds staff will receive this in March pay. Any bonus over this figure is by law given in shares in June. Many Lloyds staff take an option to immediately sell these shares without ever actually having them in their ownership. These shares are sold into the market, and further dilute the share capital. Why Lloyds can not keep the shares purchased through its buyback to issue for staff bonuses I don't know. On one hand we cancel 1 million shares and weeks later issue a million new ones.
Just for your interest. Lloyds is only currently offering a 3 year option to staff. the limit set by Goverment is �500 per month. Lloyds options are usually oversubscribed and therefore cut down from that �500 limit. The current one I am in completes this year and the max I got was �380 per month. There used to be interest paid on the savings at the end of the term. However, that is no longer the cases and only the amount saved can be used to purchase shares , with the 20% Discount applied when purchased. With the relatively poor share performance, it's certainly not the cash cow it was in the past. When staff could double or treble their money in a 5 year SAYE. LLOYDS also runs a SIP share investment plan. This is a maximum of �150 per month, shares are purchased at market price, but with no dealing cost. Shares must be held for 5 years to become Tax free. The benefit of this schem is that the �150 is taken before tax and therefore a 40% tax payer only sees their take home reduced by �90. Lloyds also matches the first �30 of shares at 1.5 to 1 . So if you buy �30 you get �45 of shares fron the Group. So a 20% taxpayer buying �30 would only actually pay �24, but reiceve �75 of shares.
Blimey 4.79% up in one day. I hold share that have not done that in a year. Well the rises of the last few days must be indicating that Tuesday's results are going to be well ahead of expectations ! I did hear that a broker forecast was for �30. Will we see the barrier breached next week ! Or will we crash and burn if the leaks are unfounded. Never boring with Fevertree !
Well, that's a good end to 2017. We bike through that £22.50 and end with a good December rally in the SP. I came in again at low £21 before the drop to £18, for a while I thought I'd called that wrong, but good old Fevertree has not let me down. Why am I so low in this and yet up to ky ears in bloody Lloyds.
Muthu Hotels is a small chain, I stayed in their Southend hotel last Saturday. In bar and customer lounge had a special gin menu selection of 6 or 7 gins, all sold with Fevertree tonics which were shown within the menu. The menu was all hotel branded, but I am guessing is supplied from Fever Tree. I was impressed to see us, putting such effort into a small hotel chain. All the small units add up to big sales. Any competition has to go some, to out perform the FT marketing.
