MA stated he might make a 5p offer for Debenhams - he never did .. Then he was going to take the company to court - this week he bailed out. Probably the financial state of his own retail empire might be the reason he is now probably just going to focus on what he holds rather than try to buy the rest of the high street!!

BBC news reporting that the results were due 8am! Opening drop coming...

Not sure you need to worry what bears or shorters think + it's not as if the share is currently listed and trading. Just remember we expected loads of news when it was trading several years ago.. so some are entitled to feel it's more groundhog Day. Let's see...

So you are posting on the Europa Metals thread? Makes sense if you been trading this (higher risk/small cap- cough, cough) share... if you want to (just ) post on DEBS thread off topic re tips - fine. Just don't expect more than 1-2 posters to "listen"

Well done on your tip - made some money on AMER recently. However, not sure the Debenhams thread is the best place for putting tips out there - few will read them. Best to use "general chat" GL

RKB, I noted your other posts earlier this morning. I do believe that if four posters report a post then it gets automatically removed (it has happen to me). I reckon this is the most likely reason for your missing posts GL

Don't you have to be a shareholder? I'm sure you sold out recently?

My advice to SPD (I know, they will not be listening) is to have a rights issue.. NOW. While the share price is still at a decent level to allow a decent fund raise - strengthen the balance sheet as high street retail is likely to get worse before it gets better. While not mentioning any other share - I can think of one or two that did not have a fund raise and subsequently their share prices tanked...

At least you admit it is YOU that has a grudge.... also YOU never stated YOUR position here - pot,kettle,black... Well... did you short this or not? The truth is - the company continues but the shares will not be coming back... I can't see any return for shareholders even if court action is successful... back to monitoring every two weeks... unlike you, who judging by the speed of your initial reply today must be monitoring this thread 24/7 pmsl

Just to be clear, I rarely DAY trade - but actively trade.. there is a difference (do'h).. I don't actually recall buying and selling Debenhams in the same day but within the same week - my point about day traders is that they tend to pump on LSE and then sell out without selling on the spike - I stated when I purchased here AND stated when I sold - unlike most day traders - this being the element of BB day trading posters I detest - be honest about when you sell out - not just boast about when you buy in (btw why you care what I did here is beyond me - you be better off focusing on your own stuff)..

Well the Bath store has apparently not been receiving new stock.accordinf to someone I spoke to ..btw the apologies should come from SPD for suggesting a 5p offer was pending which never happen and the BoD who didn't try to keep a listing via any D4E - still sure the option they took was to lock MA out. The only thing some of us BB posters were guilty of was being too hopeful of a bid or continued listing. Remember the company continues to trade.. .

Whether it's MYV, WRN or CTAG you get some posters who - even after years - refuse to wake up to the fact that the longer a share remains delisted the less likely it is it will return. Indeed can anyone na.e a company that has returned to the market years later and shareholders got their same entitlement back? Look, you might be right here and I could be wrong but can.i ask "at what point do you accept reality that it's not looking likely?" ... end of this year? Next year? Never?...
Good luck and I only posted because some here have managed to keep this thread active!

One large spike... at least that's more honest...

What's the point. Market value is so low that there is no point in shorting

BTW in hindsight I am happy to admit not only did I call this wrong but I was too positive - but I really doubt ANYONE trades on the comments of a BB poster... without repeating ourselves - a few of us felt SPD would make an offer - they did not .. I sold - and said so before the delisting which the company clearly stated would happen on x date.
We can all call an investment wrong - if anyone purchased shares here because of comments please say so. Just as I would be interested to see if anyone sold at sub 2p before the spike to 4-5p on the posts of the shorters. I am trying to move on and only look in on the thread every other week now - why can't you?

RNS OUT - interest bit ""I am pleased that M&G has recognised the necessity for the CVAs and that as a result of the discussions we have had, it has withdrawn its challenge. I call on Sports Direct and CPC to do the same. If they do not, we will seek to have it thrown out. In the meantime, we continue to make good progress with the company's restructuring plans."
Meta - just read your post before logging in (a downside to filtering) .. if anyone asks me to apology for posting on here and somehow traded because of my comments - I will do so. I was not dishonest - I did NOT day trade BUT I was an active trader - meaning within a few days I sold after buying AND I did say so on the thread.
Now when are YOU going to be honest about your agenda here at the time - were YOU and others who suddenly appeared shorting the share - yes or no - be "honest" :-)

Just a suggestion - but if you need to mention me in a post - at least get my user name right, thanks. I will repeat, I will shares in various brackets - low risk, medium risk and high risk. For years, Debenhams was a medium risk share and I would argue it was only in the last year before delisting that it became a higher risk share (eventually an exceptionally high risk share - and the warning was there by the BoD). Money was made here ... money was lost here...
Personally I have made some of my money in property - but even property has cycles and I have bailed out due to expecting a long overdue correction. The only true safe investment is probably cash - but with a return of 1% p.a. it's safe for a reason.
Re Debenhams - we should get an update on trading soon as even though the shares are now delisted I suspect the company will be minded to update the "market" occasionally.

True - the share price can move quickly - and few of us will be selling atm being so under water ...

Strange, I thought I read an asset by asset (or claim by claim) update within the RNS results the other day? Agree, it's complex but personally think it was even worse 2-3 years ago

Spary1, if you look at the CLP long term charts, we have seen highs over 1p and also lows and personally I am not going to sell at a historic low nor when I calculate the NAV is a little higher than the current share price. Nor when various claims are in the works not when debt might be converted hopefully at a share price premium as before. Nor will I sell in an investment which should be treated as a long term holding due to its nature of gradual asset disposals and new acquisitions. If others want to trade for a 10% possible profit that's up to them..
