Those 29.4 trades most definitely are buys

Looking a bit better today. Results due 16 October, hopefully with a nice little trading update. 3 new stores about to open and 3 more by the end of the year.

And thats why the ask has jumped up

29.10 trades are buys including those two recent big trades

I like the look of that chart

Ha, read my mind Aidan

I think there are very few people that would want to buy expensive branded clothing or footwear from China. For the obvious reasons.

Yes I know your 24 hour comment was tongue in cheek, but it doesnt counter the point that Circum, as an example, has been on the verge of being a "liquadated asset" according to the CEO for 3 years, so to suggest people are being impatient because they expect short term, results is rather laughable.

Although I do agree with your point that the shares would be less sticky in a placing than paid directly to directors - well that is unless they have a "wedding" or somesuch to pay for like the previous finance director did when she sold all her shares on the 3p all time high just before it crashed lol.

Taking salary in shares is no different to issuing a placing to cover "operational expenses" and then paying them in cash so lets not pretend it is. It just sounds better to already-irate shareholders who are sick of the continual placings. They therefore had no choice. It doesn't particularly annoy me that they are taking salaries in part-shares, but what does annoy me is the way they spin it as if they are doing shareholders a favour. What would be doing shareholders a favour is taking NO renumeration until they start producing tangible results.

And it did make me laugh about saying that you have to wait more than 24 hours to get news on Circum. Fine if you are a new investor. Some have been waiting THREE YEARS for that already! Not to say there isnt an investment case at this level. i think there is. But people should be aware of the BODs past form of failures and constant kicking the bucket down the road - and most definitely these spivvy RNSs that have become all too regular.

Exactly. The only reason they are taking renumeration in shares is because there is no money to pay them with, so they have no choice. The fact they have tried to spin that as doing shareholders a favour is laughable.

"Businesses in the space who get their offerings right are actually flourishing, and even many of those currently experiencing speed bumps such as Footasylum still have healthy balance sheet and relatively good turnover, which from an investment perspective could make them a really exciting recovery prospect" https://www.trustnet.com/news/839379/why-the-retail-sector-isnt-just-under-the-weather

And Debenhans have nearly £400 million of debt. Foot has no debt. Just a small point you omitted.

Another new store opening in Leicester Fosse Park to add to Brighton and Southampton

Is that post a joke? Good grief

Thats very poor to say the least. Was considering buying in at these levels but will hold off.

I think we will start to see some shorts closing

Thats a chunky buy! Good luck!

Trying to keep it down. This is primed for a breakout

A couple of them are sells I think - but it closed on a false high of 32 yesterday which was the last buy price but not the mid. Hence it opened down at 31, which should have been yesterdays closing price.

Peel arent their broker.
