The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
I have very little of it….
The signs were there starting almost 5 years ago when it became clear, to me at least, that JD didn’t have a viable plan. I regularly commented along the way as to the issues.
To all the posters who argued from a place of total ignorance, especially Toff, you were warned, repeatedly.
Sad that this is where SDRY finishes.
To a
Personally, I think this board, thus chairman are toothless against jd and his 30%. No jd, no sdry. He has to come to his senses and go back to the time he hired Sutherland because he’s just not ceo material. Seems Peter Williams was right to walk out as chairman when JD didn’t take that advice. Let him do product, let someone with ability come in. But jd has to come to this conclusion himself.
Whatever happened to ‘failure is not an option for people like JD, the circles he moves in it’s all about reputation’!
Been some sad sorry self declared ‘genuine investors’ spinning a lot of yarns and berating anyone with a different perspective. 5 years in, seen it all before. Learned nothing new about JD or Sdry, learned a ton about individual posters and human nature.
Needed a new CEO 5 years ago. Everyone knew it then but Jules was too emotional about things having Sutherland push him out earlier.
Still curious to know exactly what he’d do if he took it private that he hadn’t over the last 5 years.
Again, you simply cannot read. Who said I was instrumental in removing anyone from the board? You literally make stuff up as you go along. I have challenged some of the things that you have said because so much of what you post is complete nonsense. Whether it’s talking about Julian’s children’s toys or fantasising about meetings that James Holder’s defence solicitor refer to in drink-driving hearings. You are not a lawyer, whatever you say. Your attempt at advice on having a will was amateurish at best, and as others have observed, your corporate knowledge is atrocious.
Here’s one for you. Try and find out why James Holder was moved out of the Superdry business to work independently as a private contractor for Superdry.
In the meantime, to borrow one of your most common quote, ‘filtered, end of’. Thank you, have a good day.
You further demonstrate your abject lack of understanding.
Pandemic was a bump in the road. The decline in sdry set in long before then. Take a look at the sp performance of nxt, anf, fras, rl, urbn, ulta and many more. Especially in the case of anf, which is as close a comparison as you can find, sp at 10 year highs. Nxt at 10 year highs, fras not far off. Sdry, by comparison, record lows after 5 years of Jules in control.
The pandemic is not the reason.
You are not a lawyer. A number of posters corrected your ‘musings’ about Jules using company credit/cash to aid his bid. Genius.
Thanks for digging so far back. All the way to 2019!
Indeed, as I had told Jules that Sutherland was a mistake right from the outset, I was fully supportive of the bid to have a change of leadership. I discussed this at length with Peter Williams who, as you must know, went on to become chairman upon the ousting of Sutherland and his team. Further, I was asked to write a letter in support of the bid to wrest control away from Sutherland.
So yes, I did have a very different attitude back then. Difference now is I’ve watched the promised turnaround fail to materialise.
I like to write in an informal style for people such as you. Simple past tense suffices here. As has been observed by a number of posters on here already, you have an inability to accurately read posts, and thus you misquote to an embarrassing degree. Proof enough you definitely are not qualified.
Starbright, you are quite correct. I watched Cineworld closely, didn't comment as its not my area of expertise, but it was an amazing education. Nothing about cinema per se, but amazing human behaviour display. Even when it was in black and white print that nothing was going to shareholders, they were still ramping for multi-baggers. Utterly remarkable.
Love the CAPITALS Toffers. Attacked in tandem...Im beginning to feel very sorry for you now. Any voices yet??
ATrades. Thank you for your unsolicited personal opinion. It is, of course, no business of yours, but I do have a strong personal connection with this company, and I shall not move on as I enjoy watching how the brand is managed or mismanaged.
Deramper? Personally, I think I have made observations about the company, and its management, and the decisions it has made. Been bang on target I reckon. As we see, the company has been in a downward spiral for as long as I have been posting, and Ive given my considered thoughts along the way. Ive been both consistent, and importantly, correct. God how the 'rampers' hate that.
All along the way, new posters rock up and think they've discovered this share. Somehow they think they are clever enough to have pinpointed a company that everyone else has missed. Geniuses one and all. They write utter bilge about the company. They hate a contrary opinion. They get personal. Its pathetic. Ive seen dozens over the years. They come, they go. As someone with near 40 years in this industry, its immediately apparent who does not have the faintest idea about a brand like this.
Used to be a few posts a week here. Then the sh*t hits and there's 400 a day. Most of them from clueless bottom feeders looking for a gamble.
All the best.
If you could actually read properly, you would see that the quote about being invested or having to leave was me disagreeing with somebody who took that very position against me, namely Hawi. I don’t have to be invested and I don’t have to leave. Is that clear to you?
