To be fair I think it could be a good idea to buy at these prices (I haven't but I am speculating) I mean it's not going to go any lower really and people can't wait to go back abroad next year.
Any thoughts?

I've seen a lot of closed down pubs everywhere I've been the past few weeks (southern England and Wales) and I was thinking that MAB may commence a series of acquisitions and buyouts to replace to the pubs that are currently struggling or have been unable to financially recover from lockdown. Almost like those merchants who chose not to leave Chicago after the great Chicago fire and monopolised and made a fortune since they were some of the only ones left in business. Surely gym and pub chains will also be following this process of buying up all the independent gyms and pubs that have gone bust. Perhaps 2021/2022 could be the strongest years since the mid 2000s for MAB?

Thought the price would have spiked today after a busy weekend of reopening but guess not (well apart from the first 15 minutes this morning), the price will no doubt continue to slide and may worsen after the interim report so tempted to sell and buy back then. The company is definitely very lucrative in the long run- Barclays prediction of 400p by 2022 does not sound unrealistic at all considering all the potential room for acquisitions next year.
Any thoughts here would be great

I'd say the only real threat to the value of people's holdings in this company is that an enormous proportion of the stock is owned by insiders, which makes your holdings subject to their whim, if they feel like taking a profit at any point or decide to pump and dump then the price will plummet and may not therefore recover (may explain the vivid fluctuations this morning).. err on the side of caution as with any AIM.

And the price will go back down again later today so the high net worth investors and the institutions can rake in the profits, either suffer the consequences or play their game.

You can say as much as you want about investments/potential investments, all that does is impact sentiment not profit and hydrogen won't be profitable for years. This right now is more like a mini 'hydrogen bubble' that keeps bursting and being re blown again by pump and dumpers on a regular basis and until hydrogen becomes profitable in a few years it's going to stay that way.

"Liberum Capital today reaffirms its buy investment rating on The Gym Group Plc (LON:GYM) and cut its price target to 255p (from 280p)."
Also think share price will shoot up Monday after a busy weekend, I believe.

All this in the media about people aren't going to go back to the gym is nonesense, even if a fifth did 'cancel' it was only because they didn't want to run the risk of being charged during lockdown, they'll very quickly re-subscribe. So many people have gained weight during lockdown and can't wait to get back to the gym, combined with the instagram culture among young people of having the perfect body- say it's going to be packed out over the coming weeks! (Think this defo has more positive sentiment than pubs and restaurant stocks at the moment, even if the price isn't showing it)

Yes I agree, maybe with news of the establishment of these vaccine centres (or even a vaccine itself!) can improve the share price

Anyone think the price may be closer to 30p in August given the number of bars reopening and public confidence increasing? (particularly as Wales and Scotland open back up) Even a rise to 50p during the festive season/next year?

I think demand for Kape's services will continue to grow after lockdown, since remote working will become the norm for a lot of people across the Western world even when the virus has subsided. Both myself and some of my family members for instance have agreed with our companies that we will be permanently working from home at least a few days a week once our offices reopen later in the year. In this sense I think companies will be rapidly looking to gear themselves up with the sort of security software Kape offers and hence the price (and subsequently the eps) has a good chance of a speedy increase in the coming months (On this note I think there could be subsidence in the price today from those looking to make a profit from yesterday's jump but overall good news).

Well Wales has 50+ MAB owned restaurants/pubs and Scotland have around 84, countries which are not yet out of lockdown until early August, something which will surely improve sales (and improve the eps which inevitably will invite more investors)- I'm sure an eager mathematician could give an estimation on these predicted increases. Interesting times ahead, I think more people have certainly saved up more money than have lost money during lockdown, despite the unemployment rise. I indeed think the 'stay-cationing' will act as a helping hand toward the economic recovery: There are many articles like this for instance: https://www.express.co.uk/travel/articles/1310111/uk-holidays-staycation-holiday-in-UK-destinations-devon-cornwall-isle-of-wight - The beaches are busier than I've ever seen them!

Surprised that this stock has began to decline again, thought that more people would have been saving up, ready to go back out to meet with family and friends again that they haven't properly seen in months, boosted by the fact that everyone is 'stay-cationing'. In this sense I think the economy is likely to boom not recede later in the year- people can't wait to spend! Plus, these 'polls' can say what they want about people being too afraid to go back but I prefer what Peter Lynch says- take a walk down the local streets and see what's popular- and all you can see is that pubs and bars are packed out. Im also in my 20s and all my social media is talking about is how excited they are for a night out. Maybe its the issue of the company's debt repayments or just a worry over a second wave that is pushing this stock down? (Even so, it maintained 200+ for a while prior to reopening). I would love to get some input here about what more experienced investors think about this- since personally I thought the increase would have continued after it hit 170.
