Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Good morning my little ray of sunshine.
Culls are pretty standard in the industry right now. LEANing up pretty much everywhere after the bloating that came about over the last 3-4 years.
Go on the London stock exchange and look at the trade types. The algos have gone home. All real trades.
I think they have some real insider knowledge...
Always a good time to build up a trade pot to sell on the rise and mitigate the longer term loss on the main holding.
Morning Steve(s)
Your post history says otherwise
When you are AGAIN fudding by saying "seems late" i.e. keeping it subjective to keep it legal, but pushing the idea it is late when you know FULL well it's by the end of the month which we are half way through.
There are two options. You are either overly pessimistic and see fear everywhere (likely needing some kind of medical intervention) or are up to no good. Which is it?

Whoever was asking what genuine FUD looks like... This is it.
A grain of truth but largely fear selling. "Better sell up now..." Jeeeez
They are not daft though to be fair.
Anyone that uses protein knows they float around based on price, taste and other drivers (carbs, sweetners to avoid etc).
What can you do to counter that?
Sell other related products that people need in the same space so it's easier to order it all from you? Check!
Loss leader sales in eyeball locations like Iceland, shops and supermarkets? Check!
Get your brand regularly on screen in one of the worlds biggest sports? Check!
I don't think you are completely wrong there. It's similar to bars /nightclubs. The same owner closes and reopens as a new identity very few years to be the new hot thing.
Or they are a big business and it takes time to pull these things together, get them approved, audited etc, lots of leave at the moment across all the internal and supplier dependencies adding friction.
If you have ever worked for a sizable business you will be aware of the gap between what customers/ investors are saying about you and what is really going on. In the real world weeks and months can slip by. They are focused on operations not us.
Indeed, true FUD is planting seeds of fear, doubt and worry based on fiction. It can be done in quite smart ways. For example saying the results are late when, objectively we are only half way through the month!!! So people see things like "why could the results be late???" But it's a false premise as the results are in fact, not late! If it is said enough people stop actually thinking and accept it as true.
That is the only non FUD reason I can think off.
So it's not "late". Interesting...
You just focus on enjoying Bali mate. Just keep it moral and above board ay ;op
they will be going long after the sell off causes by it.
i also observe the sort of "journalists" they have at the ft. little beta males that drive electric cars and eat avocado on toast. they use their platform to **** on companies and people like mm to feel better about themselves. this time usually hide behind the wheel of a car and perform the same compensation on the road. basic psychology.
It's amazing. If you have been around long enough you will have seen many of these accounts be quite bi-polar. Some may have genuinely changed their minds? But the question is why push opinion on a shared you don't care about. Unless it's like a tasty ex you just can't stop Facebook stalking. I often wonder how many accounts are tools Vs genuine thoughts. Heck even wild tiger randomly went bullish at one point!!! Until it got what it wanted.
GTC you appreciate how big companies work right? There will be a team responsible for this, MM isn't personally sat there with his Casio. He will get a briefing.
It's also essentially self funded advertising and brand awareness building. Which I believe is really the point of all this.
They want people to think protein, then think MyProtein. This is a great, zero cost way of doing that. Putting the brand in front of eyeballs.
