We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Should be good for the SP if it comes to pass.
Politicians need to leave adults alone to make their own choices. But it is the hypocrisy that really annoys me most though. The green agenda scam while they take private jets to climate conferences, feasting on the finest food and drink flown in from around the world etc.
Like our ones trying to introduce that smoking age law that just looks incompatible with...well the fundamental premise of the legal system itself I guess. Pragmatically, just a rubbish and unworkable policy anyway.
These tools all fiddle while our various Romes burn. Ah well.
I agree it can be exasperating being accused of being a ramper or de-ramper on these chat boards.
The trouble with non face to face communication is the ease in which misunderstandings can sometimes arise.
Especially when emotions are running high and a lot of money is on the line, or has been lost.
Hopefully a positive outcome can be achieved for shareholders.
If there is a take out at a premium to the price right now, or a premium raise, or a D4E around this price, then I will be happy for holders (and will at least try not to be sad for myself!) - but I will not retrospectively deem it a strategically poor original decision, based on the formal information that we have to go on at the time of print.
Before this time next week, all will become clear. GLA.
Paul: I generally agree with you about the direction of travel here, as I have intimated before.
But I have never seen Mary rant on these chat boards before, so disagree with you on that point.
And quite frankly, I would not bet against her either.
But I am equally not going to make a financial call on such a basis either.
I am genuinely puzzled as to why the price action has hovered around this level. Someone always knows something, sure, but whether that is the shorts, or the longs, well, not long to find out. Good weekend all.
Hopefully the business will be a little more demanding of senior staff in future.
Certainly setting higher strike prices for share awards would be sensible, for example.
Might have stopped those two inside sellers from having the opportunity to cash in on failure.
As you say, eggshead - hopefully the CEO will get things back on track.
And in the process, perhaps making my initial purchases here look a little less foolish than they do at the time of print :)
This actual platform has made an investment error too - some of the words (especially parts of words) that the programme censors is comical.
Took me a while to see what offence you had committed, TomBeef, in your response to the other poster. Orwellian stuff :)
IMO. Nothing to scare the horses. No idea how the market will take it, or whether we will see a return to a more elevated share price though.
I guess we need to wait for the full year June update for some proper meat to the bone, including perhaps some more information about what some of these strategy plays will look like.
Might take a few more if we see this one drop as part of a market-driven sell off, but otherwise, cautiously optimistic to continue holding.
Any others here with bull or bear opinions?
Without wishing to influence your investment decisions of course, I think things are probably going to get worse before they get better here.
I do not think the shorts are betting on Mobico's demise, unlike perhaps one or two of the more heavily shorted stocks out there right now.
But as I intimated the other day, I also do not think the bottom is in yet. I think we will see 40's at some point - unless we see a bid, or an asset sale update. Could be entirely wrong too, naturally.
Much shorter term: let us see how the various national data indicators look today. Especially across the Pond. GLA.
While I never like to see a short like MW on one of my holdings, and the bears have plenty of justifiable criticism to level at the BOD and the company itself right now, it is not like we are in the top two or three of the most shorted stocks (at the time of print - and hope this comment ages well!)
Nationalisation? With what money? I've heard that one before. And if it does happen, it will not be at the expense of shareholders. If it is...then we are going to have far bigger things to worry about than merely our stake here, because IMO it would signify something like a reset.
Anyway, am going to try and chart this one for some potential trades in the medium term. If a take out happens, all good. If not, going to try and make a few quid trading it, if I can. GLA.
Thanks for letting us know, PFCvetran.
Disagree that these chat boards are only for those currently invested though. Variety of opinions makes these platforms both enjoyable and informative.
But anyway, glad you are OK mate and take care.
Your username is apt. I hope that poster is OK. Your joke is in poor taste. It would be good if he did come on here, just to let people know that he had not done anything drastic, as a result of the loss here.
Just in response to the latest US data. More key material tomorrow. Markets fearing the stagflation scenario, IMO.
Anyway, the chart here looked like it wanted to go lower, and so it has.
Am going to sit on my hands with this one for now; feels like we are going to have the chance to buy cheaper and not just here. GLA.
Looked her up on Companies House. Very young. Not that it matters - if you are good enough, you are old enough, of course. Shame that maxim did not apply in this case, although perhaps it will be an aberration in an otherwise great career. Not that it would be of any comfort to shareholders either way! Perhaps the person who hired her should take a pay cut to offset this mistake :)
Anyway, these things happen. I remain somewhat concerned with the other, and more sizeable inside sells we have seen of late.
But as I said before, going to take the risk of sitting tight and hoping the next update does not suggest this one should have got binned instead. Based on the last update, this should, IMO, be a buy at this level. Not long to find out anyway....GLA.
Indeed. If memory serves correct, even larger inside buys by one or more of the 4D Directors. Look what happened there.
Remind me, how many shares has the CEO bought here?
Regardless, watching with a degree of morbid curiosity to see how this plays out.
Clear expectations for what the ultimate conclusion is going to be of course, but maybe this time it will be different?
I can only imagine that is the basis for anyone taking a punt here right now. Like an unhealthy gambling habit, lol. Your money, your choice of course.
You said a very similar thing back in early April, when the SP was 1.85p.
Maybe this time will be different, eh?
I suspect a few of us have our doubts, based on the history here.
But of course, that is what makes a market.
Not really. Just one of many (most?) examples of where a buy and hold strategy in the stock market does not work very well, IMO.
Certainly insofar as recent times anyway.
Plenty of opportunities to trade/top slice in this one since then. Not to mention solid dividends too.
Anyway, you are still above the 200 DMA, so might have a nice little swing trade opportunity soon.
Whether it remains above the 200 in the weeks ahead, is the big question in my mind.
That tempting dividend might do the trick, although IMO a potential trap too.
But with a long term investment horizon in mind and as part of a diversified p/f, I would not be overly worried if I was a holder here, FWIW and of course, only IMO. GLA.
Not really much of a surprise IMO. I remain bullish on this name and its ability to weather the storm, but I have been surprised at how well the SP has held up since the last update.
Far too frothy at this level, in the circumstances, IMO.
Hence my being out for a little while now.
Watching to see if I get a chance to return, but am not going to jump in at any price. If it remains too expensive (to my mind) then I will remain on the sidelines. GLA.
And no thanking her for her time in the role etc, as often happens in these announcements. Perhaps a case of good riddance?
Naturally, now just hoping that there is nothing to worry about. However, the new appointments look solid to my mind and fingers crossed the update is one that does not scare the horses.
Just holding, but not adding further at this stage. Hoping to regret not loading the boat at these prices though! GLA.
Agree. If Jose had taken a big chunk of shares, IMO that would likely have had a much more positive impact on sentiment here.
The chart has turned bearish again and from a TA perspective, could do with finishing above the 50 DMA today, IMO.
Short interest remains stubbornly high, too.
Against that, those substantial Barker purchases and the most recent Frasers RNS with yet another increase in stake.
This one continues to captivate my attention, although still on the sidelines for now. GLA.
None at all are, to my knowledge, neon. That is why I said I was disappointed that it has not happened, given everything that has gone on here.
I think that there have simply been too many unusual happenings here, not just the recent misleading information concerning those prescription numbers, which in itself was very serious, and IMO warranted regulatory scrutiny for that alone. Especially as the BOD have not followed up with their allegations against that third party, which they should have notified the market of by now.
As someone who has lost money here, but who gave the company the support and benefit of the doubt for quite some time, the lack of any update since the last RNS is the cherry on top really.
But not investment advice of course. Draw your own conclusions from all the previous RNS material and interviews, the fund raises, some of the historic share price movements just before certain events and where the company now sits, as far as we are currently aware. Perhaps you will draw a different conclusion. GLA anyway. Except the BOD.
