They ought to scrap it, but Moulding seems altogether too greedy to do so.

The prospective break up coupled with the murkiness around SoftBank's (now well-overpriced) option hang over THG like dual swords of Damocles.

It closed at 197.4.

"Kando, 135p? What you smoking because I wasn't some of that.

Wowsers"

I bet you said the same at 600p when someone said they were waiting for 200p. You have your investing strategies, I have mine. This selloff does not look over.

"BTW - If this gets down to 135, I will stop investing and give you a handout and a 'Dummies Guide to Investing' :-) Keep to your tried and tested strategy............losing money !"

You won't, you'll be the sort of coward who stops posting. You're all full of tediously repetitive wind. Now filter me, you're boring.

You can post trades I made last year all you like. In and out for 8% profit. I hold no Boo shares and haven't for over a year.

None of this makes you right on THG, just more wrong.

Sorry to upset you, but I sold at 670 after buying in at 605 a few weeks prior. I took profit in the rise before said results.

Hence why I haven't posted here in nearly 9 months... but don't let that get in the way of your vitriole. I'm here now to assess whether there's a chance to get back in again at ~135.

"Just picked up 10,000 @2.03. Accumulating as long term hold.

As the master said

'Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years'"

This share is going much lower yet.
Given how toxic you were yesterday, and how frothing-at-the-mouth angry you were at the suggestion it would fall further, your hubris is embarrassing. Keep floating those platitudes. If you need 10 years to turn a profit on a stock you've no place giving advice.

You timed that well!

There was no attempt at being witty. You can eat your soup. Won't stop this share from going where it's going.

Nuri is a very silly person, and seems to think he can ramp and deramp hour by hour to personally pump and dump shares on his lonesome. This is not the first share I've seen him spam hot then cold on the same day. Bizarre egocentrism.

Saying all that, I still suspect this share has more to fall, as I said last week. I'm waiting on the sidelines to see if, at some point in the next 30-60 days it falls to the 135-140ish region. If it does, I'll buy in. Doesn't matter if not, but wouldn't feel comfortable buying at these prices - looking as they do as if they still have more to fall.

Comments on a board like this are not fuel. They don't impact price movements whatsoever. It's a place for investors to discuss the companies and speculate, but it's not going to change the price or where the share goes. Don't worry.

It's just the way the charts look, it's not a personal attack on your investment. There's other, variously comparable or incomparable companies who have experienced similar falls from grace. The timescale and chart movements suggest THG isn't ready for market forgiveness just yet.

The price looks very tempting now, but it looks perhaps more likely to fall to ~135ish before any recovery or bounce back begins. Momentum is not on its side.

McDonald's and fast food is just the tip of the iceberg. Labour shortages are happening across the economy, in the US, the UK, and on the continent. Could be the calm before the storm, with a recessionary backlash.

Could be that these circumstances of record job vacancies yet still low unemployment, somewhat paradoxically, induce a spike of much higher unemployment. When businesses can't hire or retain staff at salaries that allow them to run at least at breakeven and have the numerical workforce required to remain productive, then they will go under, and those staff that had stuck around in those firms will have lost their jobs as a consequence of the unfilled vacancies.

What's true of pelosi and the democrats is also true of mcconnell and the republicans. Historically, the highest budget deficits have been run under Republican presidents and a republican congress. If Pelosi can't answer who will pay for it all, then neither can the Trumpists and McConnell. Unfunded tax cuts and dubious economic stewardship (trickle down and boom-and-bust economics) cost just as much money as big infrastructure spending (which at least, over long periods of time, pays for itself in productivity increases).

Americans are addicted to spending more than their means whoever is in power, bouncing between two wholly unfit and moribund political parties.

Basically UBS are trying to get the market to dump metals, to get in at a lower price - because they see the same thing Goldman see: $2000 gold and $30 silver by EOY. Costs them nothing to put out the most self-serving, manipulative claptrap hail mary.

"oh everyone sell, panic panic! woops, we bought in though."

Nonsense, silver is not going to crash any time soon. The fed just announced they're two years away from any rate rises. They've also acknowledged that the "transitory" inflation spike will have a longer tail than they anticipated. Both of these things are ultimately very bullish for precious metals. To compound things, the delta variant will cause some sort and scale of market pullback in America over the next two months and when equities start to flounder, the money will pile back into metals. Fres has its rally yet to come.

Perma - I agree in parts. But no, I don't think this is the beginning of a USD fightback. The US has spent more on covid already, inflation adjusted, than it spent on both world wars. There will be consequences to this. At the moment that money is mostly sat in accounts as dry powder, but once it starts to actually be spent, and to impact on the velocity of money, America will have some phenomenally complicated problems to solve - more complicated than the problems of say, Spain or Italy. Velocity of money has dropped to historic lows in the US given the deluge of money supply (same amount of transactions - or less! - with more money sloshing around to make them). Given that the velocity is expected to return to normal levels over time, something has to give, either in GDP, inflation or contracting the money supply, but most likely some combination of all of them. The tools you need to solve that riddle are the same tools that will ultimately weaken the dollar further.

Sorry Perma, you seem to have over-egged my interpretation of a capitulation. I don't mean the ultimate end of USD as the global resersve currency. I simply mean a drop back to levels seen in December and May. In my humble opinion, the Dollar has no business strengthening into what will ultimately be another, perhaps larger wave of Covid for America.

And yes, I think Europe and the UK will ultimately endure the current wave in a much better condition, given their much higher and continued vaccine uptake. Only 161 million fully - 24 million partly, out of 333 million Americans are vaccinated. That leaves a lot of room (150+ million people's worth of room) for a more transmissible variant to circulate. Europe will perhaps reach a herd immunity of sorts long before America does. And it's been shown repeatedly that no country can simply ignore the virus and hope it goes away. America will probably need further restrictions, and further stimulus, which will weaken the dollar. The UK and perhaps to a lesser extent, Europe, might just about ride it out over this summer.
