CR888. people have them sussed and it looks like they have chickened out throwing any more money in support of their yarn. Looks like the placed story has already gone time expired imho.

41.5p seemed to be the breakout point.

Hopefully it signifies the start and the day traders have to keep paying more.

It is good of them to let us sit and digest the last update and to present everyone with a good top up opportunity. They similarly are after the same available stock but to close up and profit.

CR888 I think you are probably correct in that now is the time that SF is probably buying back.

Tactically Hedge Funds only have two real tactics.

1. Is to borrow stock and to sell it into the market. the hope being that they drop the price. Buy back and repay the stock. The balance being their profit. But there comes a point where it becomes risky to sell if others see it as a buying opportunity. I don't think, given the last update, we are far off that.

2. Feed the press a story and assist it with 1). That i what I think you are seeing this morning. The story though becomes past tense at the time it is published and also if the company countenance it. Conscious decision has to be made on whether to close up and bank profit, or sell more stock into the market if it is not prompting enough sellers for the ethos of shorting to win.

I'm sticking with the last update and further growth to come.

You can wait till Tuesday if you want Cavendish3 but it looks like we are heading back into the 60's. Restrictions are being lifted on the 26th and we are just about to bag in full the key 20% trading period that we missed last year (Valentines day, Easter and Mothers Day). All companies face inflationary pressures but it just so happens that we have the lowest priced option on the High Street to increase off and it is down to management to drive cost savings.

Has too be the fact that the Omicron infection rate is now falling off a cliff (exactly as it did in South Africa) leading to more than strong hints in the media today of a lifting of present restrictions on the 26th January. dyor

Should help boost High Street footfall and this year we get to bag Valentines Day, Easter and Mothers day in what should be a 100% revenue year.

Next one out there for the horror movie fans. Opened today in the UK and US.

RS2002 I'm glad you posted this for it is confirmation of a post I made in the not too distant past that there were an increasing visible number of new advertisers showing up through Digital Cinema Media - which is of course a 50-50 joint venture with Odeon / AMC.

Bodes well.

smorty365 I think you are having a laugh but then I also hold Cineworld which if you believe unoffical figures has had such positions as high as 12% in recent months. So it is tame by comparison.

You do realise that Citadel could have already been short to the tune of 0.49% and under the publicly disclosable 0.5% figure, in which case they might only just have scraped over the threshold with a small further increase. Given the FCA actually gets notified on all such positions over 0.1% there is clearly a case for greater openness and transparency on that front.

It is however reassuring that Lombard are reducing.

Well inflation is nowhere near the 17% of yesterdays fall so there is a lot immediately to be given back into the share price.

Then if you actually work out that if CARD actually gain a full years revenue and profits without any 20% loss of days and the regain the 3 key events (Valentines Day, Easter and Mothers Day) they missed last year but all the event card sales (Birthdays, bereavements, thanks moving house, moving jobs) then there is a highly undervalued share price here.

Here's to a full year of revenues, adjustments to countenance inflationary pressures and hopefully in a years time my CARD shares in my ISA are double and higher where they are now.

I'm sticking with a full recovery over the year ahead. That's in sales and share price.

I've read many RNS's in my time investing in shares and Liberium imho are calling this absolutely correct. Yesterdays RNS was treated unduly harshly and for a fast recovering company at worst it should have stayed flat. Fully expecting it to readily make yesterdays 17% fall back and for it to further gain over the quarter with Valentines Day (1 month away btw), Easter and Mothers Day on the immediate horizon.

If there is one thing that both Omicron and yesterdays update have taught us it is that shops are now remaining open and footfall numbers during that month were getting back to 2019 levels.

Another maybe less obvious positive in all of this is that whilst imho we shoould have generated enoough monies to see us well through to Batman prseales, Cineplex whilst closed and deprived of much needed revenue and profit will also have been landed with Mr Mark and Co's court case fees and now face further ongoing costs with the now lodged appeal.

Indeed, a very robust update and sadly one that CPlex won't be replicating.

Has kept the concession sales, gift cards, online booking fees and advertising revenues a secret till March.

Should keep it in beer tokens though until Batman pre-sales in February.

Caught a few of the traders out with a nice spike early doors imho

Caught my eye yesterday. Both looking like Buys. Institution or Director purchases?

We must be getting close to some news.

''Cashflow may well be an issue for them short term, it's not as if CW don't have our own cash issues''.

It is a big issue for them right now as all know what payables / liabilities will be stacking up for them right now during closures: Rent we know from the court case they had multiple default notices served upon them last time and dubious deal done previously to avert an uncertain future; Payments to the studios - we know they defer them also. Trade payables to suppliers we know they also defer. All these are amassing up. But the biggest point here is that they have missed a massive revenue share from the biggest film of the year and its cumulative audience through January. I think it was mountainoous that pointed out that at their last update they were down to $24M - that's Canadian Dollars and laid off 6000 staff.

The difference with Cineworld is that for the last quarter, and having been able to fully capitalise on Spiderman No Way Home, I'll be very surprised if the 4th Quarter isn't overall cash flow positive from ticket sales alone , and with enhanced concession sales and gift card sales on top.

The difference at this time I think is manifest and CP need money. CW I think are in a far better place.

ollienorwood , well done for actually grasping that this is a very good 11 month pandemic trading update that most retailers would have been envious of and proud t release to the market and which would either have caused a rise or at the very least remain static.

During December they had all the uncertainty of Omecron and Plan B and mask wearing inside retail premises and the effect it may have on consumer confidence, yet for December it was trending virtually in line with the pre-pandemic trading period in 2019. That is excellent going.

You are also correct in pointing out that restrictions and closures have impacted on those 3 main events: Valentines Day, Easter and Mothers Day and which had we been pen would have added significant revenue into the tills.

''Restrictions resulted in the full closure of the store estate for approximately 20% of the available trading days in the period (compared to approximately 40% in FY21). Stores were closed from the start of the period on 1 February 2021 with a partial re-opening from 12 April 2021, and the entire estate trading from 17 May 2021''

Make allowance for that 20% of available trading days lost and those 2 bigger events and all the scaremongering and hesitancy that has prevailed and you actually have a business that is recovering fast to pre-pandemic trade levels, yet the share price is some way off where it was before the pandemic struck (plus some more after today)

*Back to making healthy profit. Tick.
*Footfall and spend indicators good. Tick
*Reducing Debt. Tick
* Other end of the spectrum now from ''will it survive''. Tick
*Confident Outlook Statement. Tick
* Vaccines, Boosters, Therapeutics + Diminished Threat. Imho Tick also

The only real blemish for me is the "gettingpersonal" website. It needs revamped and maybe targeting a younger audience with some "influencers" to encourage usage or to attract the more high end customers. Ether that or its getrid.com

I think if you read the update in full for what information it provides and the year it has involved and it is actually a very robust trading statement and points to a full recovery quicker than most other retailers will achieve and you can easily see that they will bag Valentines Day, Easter and Mothers Day in full this coming year.

ISA'd a good few today.

It's just as well that CARD issued an "exceed expectations" for the year, and given all that has gone on over the past last year.

Otherwise the share price might have gone up !!

That's markets and logic for you.

Vaccinations and boosters are working, Covid and variants are having a diminishing impact now in the UK and the shops have and remained open and should do now for the rest of the year. Next up Valentines Day.

By the looks of it.

The discovery news was far too big for only a couple of measly pence imho
