Omg - just look at their insolvency brochure on their website. The partner whose name and photo is all over it, isn’t even there anymore! He’s at Eversheds. What an absolute shower. There are better places for your money than this.

No problem with the aims Spades, but she f***ed it all up with the worst delivery imaginable. Did you see the whole press conference yesterday? OMG, my 12 year old would have been better. Just embarrassing and entirely self inflicted.

Hmmmm,

1. Why am I watching what I spend? Because my monthly bills for necessities have got up £100s per month so I have much less each month for fun, and they’re going to go up much more when it gets cold.
2. How much worse off am I? About the same amount I used to spend going out to eat in restaurants.
Nothing to do with the press. Simply the facts for most people. You’re living in Trussland if you think different.

I thought it was 1 April for a moment.

Yes, great update, but some way to go still for break even point for me. A perennial underperformer, for once they’ve done better than expected. Let’s hope that continues.

I was excited there for a moment..

Fair enough. Todd it is! I think your psychiatrist may be wrong though. You recognised I was referring to you in my post so I think that makes you a sociopath not a psychopath....from a quick google search it seems the former will recognise this quality in themselves but apparently less so for the latter. Good to see your seeking medical help anyway. All the best.

I almost feel dirty reading this board now, but I can’t help myself. I keep coming back to read the next horrible little trolling post. I’ve been turned into a voyeur of a sociopath!

I don't think I have ever agreed with one of Porsche's posts but I agree with this one (and I am a holder of AV). I'll top on on these, but not yet. I don't think 360 is unrealistic with all that's going on (though would be an absolute bargain!).

Who cares if they’re short or not? This is an open forum for all. I don’t think anyone sensible could say there isn’t significant risk here at the moment. PS I’m in (though I wish I wasn’t)!

Yes, the chart there was literally giving the finger to him!

I wish I hadn't had a nibble; but at least it was only a nibble and not a whole packet of biscuits. The reversal in my NI rate will pay for it if it keeps going south. I may have another nibble if it gets to a tenner. That does not seem unlikely to me.

I temporarily suspended my negativity and took a first nibble on this today. In hindsight, not a trade I feel comfortable with, but hoping for some positive announcements tomorrow. Sorry to all long term holders. My first buy is often not well timed.

They’re probably busy trying to recruit Adrian Biles.

I’m in here for the dividends and (hopefully) stability of the business. Yes, the government can tighten regulation or increase taxes etc, but fundamentally this company provides worthwhile services that benefit individuals and companies, so should not be a target. I would never invest in a gambling company, in part because of the untold misery gambling addiction causes to countless families, and in part due to the risk of damaging regulation/restrictions that is always going to hang over gambling companies. I would regulate/tax them to death if I had the chance.

If I was in already I wouldn’t sell now. But having the luxury of not being in, I don’t feel under any pressure to invest at this point. If they skyrocket, good luck to all holders but I see no catalyst for that. If they drop further, I’ll probably have a nibble for a long term hold.

Nothing wrong with a bit of flourish. Life is very boring without it.

I am glass is half empty Kerching. I wish I was the opposite. Good luck to you, and I hope you are right, I really do, but I have a knot in my stomach about what is coming….and don’t get me started on Liz Truss!

Yes, you’re missing, or refusing to accept, that the housing market has peaked, most of what fuelled the rise has run out, and we have not been hit with the huge energy price rises that are going to wipe out most families disposal income. Yes, Persimmon have a good land bank, yes, they’ve got some cash, and yes their profitability has historically been fab, throwing out loads of cash, but things are cyclical and you don’t want to be it for the spin dry that is about to happen.

Thanks Stxx. One glass of vino too many for me tonight, but I think my post captured my general thoughts about right.
