On my travels, I note that Cards Direct has opened a store a few units along from C.F. in the Fishergate Centre in Preston. Similary, there is a large new looking unit in Blackpool where C.F. has two shops, one being just around the corner from the CD store. I appreciate that competition is healthy and C.F. has opened stores close to Clinton's Cards in the past, but wondered if this is potentially a new trend that others may have noted around the country? Still hold a lot of shares in C.F. and added more on the recent fall, partly for the dividend but mainly in the belief that the share price will recover over time.

I was reading on another website that there is a gap to fill at £1.00, perhaps others with technical analysis knowledge could confirm? A share price of £1.00 that may have been a barrier to break on the way up may now offer some support, the next few weeks will tell. I have a disproportionate share holding in Card compared to other shares that I hold, but I am comfortable with my position. Don't just listen to the rhetoric around this share, go out and make a visit to some of the shops and see how they are doing and what they are offering or perhaps visit their on line business and compare and contrast with the competition. Like others have said, if you are in a position to hold then take the dividend and in time value will out, but as always do your own research.

The Preliminary Results in April will cover the 12 month trading period to 31 January 2023, so will exclude the early 2023 events like Valentines Day etc. I can’t help but pop in to CF shops when visiting new areas to see how busy they are and they are definitely getting the offer right. I’m glad I moved CF shares into my ISA last year and now need to decide whether to move the rest or my WRKS shares whilst the latter are languishing a little. Haven’t taken profits from CF shares, as waiting until a dividend is paid, which hopefully will only be about a year away.

Thanks DBW for posting and thanks too to Seav for the find.

A very welcome post Porvenireal and comforting tweet PAULUS57

Hi HB

Yes, AGM showing as today from the info above, but tomorrow on the C.F. website. Not long either way.

Around 9am yesterday, £20k of the sold/bought trades were my bed and ISA. I had a choice to make between a few shares I hold, but made the decision to move just the CARD shares, as I thought they had the best chance of increasing the most over the medium term. I'm keeping the faith and time will tell. Good luck all.

Solgold is not an AIM share.

Thank you rcgl2.

A quick question please. My only previous experience of voting for a resolution was for the recent CGP offer, which resulted in not having access to the shares until the vote was concluded. If I were to vote tomorrow for the various resolutions in SOLG, would I still be able to sell some or all of my shares prior to the AGM in the event of an increase in share price or would I be locked in until after the AGM was concluded?

As one of the small shareholders with 2000 shares after the consolidation that took place a while back, I voted to accept the generous SOLG offer, why wouldn't I? I knew that the main majority holders would have the real say in the outcome, but thought no would make my voice heard. I wish I hadn't! I had to pledge the shares when I voted and only received them back in my account yesterday. So, I have watched the share price fall, unable to sell until last night. I used all the money from the sale to purchase SOLG this morning to add to my main holding.

Curious as to what the last bullet point means on the RNS “Geotechnical, hydrogeological and sterilisation drill testing commences at Cascabel, ahead of release of Preliminary Economic Assessment report.”

It is the use of the word “commences”. Does this mean new areas and we now have licences?

Please put me down at 62p. Expect it to sell for a lot more, but not gone by September.

As you can see, this is my first post. I have been a member for many years, watching from the sidelines, and then mainly the lloy chat area. BT has been on my radar for some time from both a dividend and share growth perspective. I’ve bought in and sold from around £2.80 down to £2.30 getting out with a small profit or small loss; each time thinking can it go lower. I’m in now at £2.18 and £2.08 currently. I’ve very much enjoyed reading Velo’s comments, can I even say look forward to them, that must be the case, as I missed them for the last month or so. I’m convinced BT will come good and that debt is the issue. Now it’s easy for me to say when I’ve bought in at a lower level than many but I see a cut in dividend as being necessary to reduce debt; just good house keeping really. Whilst I know that I should not take advice from anything I read in the chat areas, I took some comfort from Velo’s analysis that not all is bad with BT. BT may be a legacy company but one I believe that has a very good future.
