I'm not sure that waiting for the market to turn is what this needs or we should be hopping for, Imean I would like this to be the case but we are opening ourselves up to disappointment again. I was holding NIO till yesterday and the share has been disappointing due to the EU, USA Canada heavily taxing Chinese EVs, that in addition to bad economic data from China and the current outlook on people not purchasing EVs a expected, I'm rumbling on but bear with me. Basically, the company has come up with good numbers in the latest statement, margin improvements, sales etc and the share price has rocketed. Casing point; the market/ rhetoric/macro outlook has not changed at all for Chinese stocks and particularly EVs yet the share price is up significantly. The point I'm making is that S4 needs to produce the goods and be profitable, without that, any rises are not sustainable.

Let's be clear, if S4 results are disappointing, this could go back to mid the 36s lows we have seen before.

I want to be able to trust that SMS has finally the business in order but the price action here over the last 8 sessions has been diabolical, as a heavily invested ordinary working man, the 24% drop prior to results does worry me.

Never fails to I should have said. Sorry, it's just sheer frustration! 🙄

"Down day on large volumes"

Maybe the people in the known already know what a disaster the results are going to be.

The dog never disappoints!

The stock is an absolute joke! Never seen anything as volatile as this.

5th consecutive session that S4 is dropping. A most frustrating stock would be hard to find!

The shorts are only having a field day because this is a risky company. All this talk here all along about how this will do well when interest rates come down is proving to be wishful thinking. Let's see whether S4 can deliver the numbers. Like many said, only traders make money here.

Nige spot on!

Redwine

I agree fully, the worry is what happens if they really disappoint? Not beyond the realms of possibilities with S4's track record.

So the drop continues, from 66.7 to the current 56.25, that's 16% down since Powel's speech. It just doesn't make sense. The most frustrating stock, just don't seem to hold the gains!

Very nice Nige, reassuring also!

Yes considering all the hype and excitement a few days ago!

I thought the Fed indicating that rates will be cut was going to impact this positively??!!

Its gone from 66 to 60 since that speech. that's a 10% drop.

Same old with this stock, a lot of speculation which never materialises into anything.

We have to be opened to the possibility that this may never recover. WPP results not great, big tech not spending and they might never have to again. Nothing new

If the markets throw a fit??The markets are in turmoil right now, having a fit right now (3rd consecutive session)

Abode

My sentiment, exactly.

The crooks market manipulators are making investing no worthwhile for the ordinary men like us.

We haven't had the exuberance rise of the AI stocks yet we get the same hammering. Always the same with S4. Hopeless

I couldn't agree more Redwine. Back to 53p again, trader's paradise!

Thanks for the link Nige. Great stuff! Martin is without a doubt a great speaker and knowledgeable, however, I so wonder whether that will translate into S4 achieving success and the share price following. In 3 days that clip has been viewed 66 times, at the time of writing this. It seems to me that thete is no interest in this company whatsoever.

We are still in the s..1t here 2 years on. Only good financials will revive this. We
