Oh well that covers the entire range.
Any opinion on tomorrows open SP?
Whatever it all is 41.5m bought today 13.8m sold SP down 14.29% . What is this all about .
Card Factory went from a 65.2m profit to a ( 16.4 m ) loss during the lock down, current market capital 160m
Shoe Zone went from a (14.6 m ) loss to a 9.46m profit after the lock down, current market capital 70m .
Hi a good point ! Me and the mrs were in CF looking for a card and felt the same. The Company ought to look at the competition and do some comparisons with competitors shops and make some improvements on this one. The big Supermarkets are never out of their competition's Supermarkets otherwise they would not know that their shopping basket is cheaper than the other.
I remember reading a book about how to make money on the Stock Market . Irrespective of weather it was a good book, one thing I remember is it said " Have a look for yourself how the company is doing first and read the results last" something like that anyway.
Hi Mr Simes
Oh well okay you are entitled to your opinion. I judge this business by looking in their shops then I try and work out how much they might be taking in a day based on the number of customers at that time ( various times and occasions) then I do some sums and multiply it by 2016 premises and I think they are doing fine since the lock down periods. Shoe Zone which is a couple of shops up from Card on the contrary always seems to have just a few customers. However Shoe Zone shares are only 20p off the year high £1.40 against £1.60, whereas Card are 51p off the year high £0.46 against £0.97 , this is because IMO the numbers in the January statement were badly represented making us all have to read it 10 times to make sense of it some of us on here are still trying to decipher it all.
Hi Mr Simes
I have read lots of your comments over the year and never once have I seen you type anything good about the company, always negative things, what you must always remember is this is a general outlet for cards in many towns. This company provides jobs for thousands of people, often young people who are perhaps in university and trying to earn a living. So can we perhaps be a bit more positive sometimes please.
I also think that 45p has become the bottom price. It briefly touched 38p but the best I could get was 41p so it is onward and up over the present time to two years, £1.50 £2.50 £3.50 ?
I think that they offset some of the forecast profit money toward the debt , hence the 8 to 10 Million estimate which might have been more had it not been for lock downs. So I remain optimistic and I am keeping all my shares.
Good amount of Customers probably 12 in the shop not bad for an in between time . Easter Cards 8 for a pound , few Mother's day items left in the half priced sale. Generally prices are all higher averaging £1 to £1.29 a card. Not too sure about the Birthday related Tankards and Glasses there is loads of them. But each to his/her own regarding preference.
That's all well and good and good luck to you if you get it. Only problem is if you get that we will all be down 50% lol
The short positions can be found on the little picture showing a zig zag line down near the chat and fundamentals motif. You can't see the price at which they are short just the percentage so 1.21% is around 4 million shares, which we think they averaged a short of around 56p
Just bought 5000 might as well have a few more while they are on special offer.
Age related celebration Birthday Tankards not Fathers day Tankards
They were not Father's day products they were Birthday related products.
I hope that Lombard keep their 1.21% short position open until the update, because the longer they leave it the more they will lose. They have already faired good from the Invasion and the Covid lockdown. But the Gravy Train is coming to the last stop. They will get their (Cards) soon.
This is a good essential improvement the Apple Pay good post thank you. I checked out the Crystal Peaks shop today they still had a few mothers day gifts in the 50% sale, I thought they had gone but they had been moved to a smaller middle aisle shelf. The Mothers day stock in the main entrance has been replaced with age related Birthday products, Tankards , large wine glasses with numbers on them 18, 21, 25, 40 etc looked good stuff. The best is that the shop is still busy, well lets face it Birthdays are 365 , why this business is priced at 46p ??? just on the strength of fully open again & taking in the losses in the shut down current business must be worth 60p to 80p and at a very minimum 54p to 56p which had director buys in the last few months. GL everyone.
We have seen an 8.37% increase in one day. 3p is a large move up on a 45p share. So it is chocks away folks upward and away. ( Just a bit of promotional hope) Good luck everybody.
Hi Roxbury thank you for your opinion , I did wonder about the short sellers, but I have been keeping an eye on the daily movement for a long time, often during small trading days sometimes only 300 trades with every sell / buy having an effect on the SP . Citadel are below .5% & only Lombard are showing 1.21% short. So I would conclude that Citadel are still short but below .5% . I still think that today has been one of the most unusual trading days that I have seen for months, this can only be that the numbers are going to shoot up or there is going to be a bid on the company. So let us watch this space.
