There is nothing creepy about commenting on companies you are not invested in. On the contrary it is extremely creepy (and unwise) to attack any opinion that is different than yours. Ever heard of challenging yourself? Your own opinion? It's a very healthy way to get to a better place. You may want to try it out sometime.

Yes, and out of the followers 12 commented. 12(!). Hardly a reason to celebrate, is it?
You are too kind :)....(but is has been a great run so far).
Happy days indeed.
my pov is that you are better at this then I am. Really mean that. Still feel that the UsD will win vs GBP. Stepped in again, against better judgement perhaps. But think at least until new budget announcement there is an opportunity. Choppy water's thereafter but Dec-mid 23 there could still be an opportunity. Gets more challenging as time progresses, but I think we are at a point of such weakness in Uk economy that even a raise by the BoE won't make much difference. But what do I know :)
"hoping it doesn’t fly away immediately as I have some serious top ups to do this month and next"
Comedy gold!!
well. was a good time to press sell. Too much downward pressure. US house market took me by surprise. It's been a good ride so not complaining. Too turbulent. I prefer somewhat calmer, longer periods. Bit too choppy for me right now.
that is not what I mean. Debenhams has no stores anymore, they have been bought by Boohoo and only the online sales remained. But prior to that the majority of sales was in store. So only the smaller online side survived. One can hope Boohoo revives Debenhams but that is far from certain. Old fashioned brand in decline. It is not really a big deal to get listed there.
I really wonder if most of you guys here have ever been in a commercial environment? Judging by most of the comments on here: clearly not!
Getting listed is the job of any junior sales representative. It's EASY! The fact CG couldn't pull it off is beyond comprehension! But let's not get too excited because you got listed at Debenhams. Btw, only online. Not in store, where the real money is. On-line. Retailers are happy to do this these days: you start online, the retailer takes zero risks: very often via dropship arrangements. If there is no sales, there is no risk to the retailer. If it works, the retailer wins: he offered his consumers something new.
Now the real question is: how to succeed on the retailer's platform? Answer: you need to create demand. For that you need a good strategy and marketing investment. Does CG have that? No! So, there is zero change to the CG story. Only a couple of peeps kidding themselves a bit more than they did the day before. Rookies at best.
What will the Sp be post equity raise, faites vos jeux!
Sign of an astute investors in my book!
hahaha :) Hope it works out for you
Just had a look at the website of Love CBD and compared it vs CG's. Some observations:
1. Much better brand name vs CG
2. Very different market Love CBD is in: they are fishing in health&wellness as opposed to beauty that CG so miserably failed in
3. Pricing strategy very different as well
4. Love CBD making a big song and dance about naturual CbD vs the idiotic "our natural ingredient has been made in a lab". Still makes me giggle.
Overall, the 2 brands are miles apart. Anyone thinking this RTO was done because of marketing and business synergy reasons may need to reconsider. Given CG was running a massive loss, had little no sales, has a different sourcing strategy and marketing strategy there is really nothing on the table that will change the fortunes of this newco post RTO. They get a listing on on stage stock market and an opportunity to raise equity. That is it.
On to the question "what they will do with the money". Well,
1. Pay debt: but we don't know how much?
2. Invest in marketing? Sure but (a) we don't know how much will be left given we don't know the extend of their debt and (b) they don't have a marketing investment model with generates profit. We know this because they are loss making. So every GBP they spend generates loss. Hard to see how that's is exiting: "you now have more budget to make an even bigger loss".
Obviously the Taliban-self proclaimed investors will know better
agree. In this game, boring is excellent
i think, but again only my view, the charting side is the easiest for fx. A lot less volatile (unless something daft like brexit happens) but overall far more predictable. Once you see the patterns it is relatively straightforward.
Not touching shares with a barge pole for a while.
and really: continue doing what you do. You seem excellent at it. Why change your winning formula?
Hi Windows,
Amazing trade: we'll done! I am not one for taking advice from others: not because I am smart but simply because I like to trade what I know. And by definition, if I get advice it's about something I don't know. Too much trial and error (and usually a lot of errors) are needed to learn trading a certain asset I think. Just my 2 cents.
My view is that there is still strength enough in the usd for a while vs currencies like gbp. Not just gbp, but I stick to what I (think) I know best. The UK economy is not in great shape, borrowing has grown a lot lately and will only go up. Inflation will continue to rise, pushed by fx, energy cost. Disposable income has been squeezed, there are no big plans to boost the economy and even when they appear they will take years to have an effect. Productivity is low in the UK. Political leadership at an all time low. We could go on for ever. Confidence (a major factor) in the UK economy is low too. I see only weakness in sterling for a while.
Yeah. Rude awakening incoming
You will likely not own this because there is a good chance Canary will end up owning over 60% if I am reading this correctly
