So basically they rate their bond in the lower- medium grade!! Not a lot of faith then in this company right?

I fear we might be making new lows here! Soul destroying this share!!

The BOE, a bunch of id1ots led incompetent Bailey!

They are over tightening, the last 3 hikes haven't even fed into the system yet!

Labour demand is cooling with vacancies down so I'm not sure where you are getting your information from!

Are you getting confused with wage pressures?

JG

It was 75.40 only 3 weeks ago and nothing has changed, if anything, the economy seems to be getting worse!

I personally don't think we have seen the lowest for this stock yet! It's an absolute dog!

So they are issuing a bond right at the top of interest rates?? Is this board for real?? What's this going to cost us??

Why reinstate dividends and then issue a bond?? None of this makes sense!!

Good post Nige. Thanks for bringing Jacob's latest to our attention! He does seem very clued up when it comes to investing so the fact that he is still bullish on S4 does bring a degree of reassurance! What a crazy market we are in!

With respect, It seems you like to tell people how negative they are when they have a different opinion to yours! Being negative is justified considering the performance of this stock! Tell us something positive then so we can perhaps change our tune!!

This share is a disaster, period!! There is no sugar coating that fact!

I'm hoping for a change of fortunes, of course, but as of yet, the market doesn't believe the story and to be perfectly honest, I've starting to lose faith myself!

Now you might say, sell up then, except that it's not that easy when you are 25k underwater! I have seen shares recovered in the past soon after I sold up, however, not all do and here lies the problem! Anyone having bought a decent amount in the 180s who might have then average further would be heavily and royally ducked!! Trapped one might say!

Caveman

Also, it's perfectly valid, in my opinion, to hear negative views so as to have a balanced argument!

In respect to substance, I have highlighted the issues I thought were badly handled by this company before, ie. A trading update that nobody knew was coming, guidance reiterated to then have the profit earning a month later etc!

Like I said before, this is my biggest position and I'm holding, I just get frustrated mate to be honest. Btw, as soon as I find something positive, I will be one of the first posting some positivety!

Caveman

I did and at the time they were growing in double digit figures and all was looking good! Since the AI boom however , this has not benefited at all though and even gone down dramatically! Then the downgraded ebitda and growth rate has just killed the share!

I'm negative at the moment yes and perhaps, as you say, one needs to be patient!

Exciting??

The share price indicates otherwise. The market up yet this rubbish still bumping asking the bottom !!

WPP not doing much better. Maybe AI will be a hindrance for ad agencies yes no?? They are still at all time lows since the AI euphoria kicked in. Perhaps someone with further knowledge can enlighten us.

When is NEX ever been £12 per share?.

Actually to Heathrow they are more cost effective having looked in more detail, however, to Stansted they are just slightly cheaper but the journey takes nearly 2hrs longer!

It seems a bit of a mixed bag, with some routes cheaper, however, they should be cheaper than trains anyway!

I'm getting rattled by the decline to be honest. So many good opportunities missed whilst my money is both, tied up and being decimated here!

I wish I had just invested in the US

@Worthashot

Where you getting that from? On what routes you referring to?

From Brighton to Gatwick the prices are very similar of those to trains, to Heathrow also the same but taking almost double the time to get there!

Nobody in the right mind would take a coach over a train when cost is similar and the train is quicker

Nice one Poker!

I concur with your assessment!

Cheers Paddy

Yes, I hope we turn a corner soon! This is painful. I do worry whether we are entering an era where high rates would be the norm, like in the 70s! And what this would do for heavily indebted companies.

Just looked at the fundamentals in the simply wall street app for FGP and the only reason I can see wHy they are doing so much better is due to their low deb to equity ratio when compared to MCG.

Paddy

That's not really a constructive answer is it?

I was asking you a genuine question! Im just as p... off that this keeps going down. The market its not seeing whatever we are seeing and the decline is just relentless

FGP nearly 3% up today and YTD 40%! Explain why MCG isn't a dog please.

Btw, this is my second biggest holding but sometimes reality just hits you. This my friend is a dog

@Paddy

It's not that simple though is it mate?

I like your optimism, however, all I see is a continuing share decline! What are you basing your fivefold increase on?

Lower lows coming by the look of how the stock id behaving!

No doubt the usual suspects will claim what an opportunity this is to buy more, very cheap at these levels etc!

Meanwhile, cheap is getting cheaper and we are getting poorer! This is a dog!
