Amazon, it’s the cloud business and ad venue that’s driving it, the online shopping is flat. I personally think the D2C model is the right one, not buying fake tatt on Amazon.

I would certainly like to see the financial forecasts/investment thesis for the hotel/spa business.
I agree with others, just seems like a money pit. Let’s focus capital on the core businesses - can’t go wrong with Beauty and health/fitness.

Evening all, catching up with todays events, seems to be Groundhog Day! Some good posts tonight, Pencil keep up the good work - your research etc very insightful and helpful, your efforts are very much appreciated by the vast majority on here.

Good theory that Trenners. Whatever the reason I’m pretty sure the beneficiaries won’t be selling - I’m sure he’s briefed them on past history.

Agreed as As1 described it - financial waterboarding. Although no buyers coming in doesn’t help, just have to suck it up for now. Easier said than done I know.

Great little WB quote following on from recent goings on…

“Forecasts may tell you a great deal about the forecaster; they tell you nothing about the future.”

Steve, maybe don’t bother posting then? Clearly the majority of this BB don’t want your opinion. We are more than happy with our investment and you certainly won’t change our opinion. Numbers and strategic updates do that. Why converse with us idiots anyway? Not being rude.

S4 Capital shares “way too cheap” says Barclays

Strangled, everyday you post inflammatory statements regarding takeover news etc. unless you have evidence can you reign it in please. It doesn’t help anyone.

I personally think the numbers will be strong (especially in the current conditions). Like I said I personally think too much mud slinging in the press etc has stuck. I’m on your side Maestro. I have a large holding and think over time will be a great investment.

Completely agree, it stinks. Just got to ride it out.

Maestro, the cold hard truth is the wider investing community are not currently interested even at these prices. We all have our suspicions why that is. Just got to let the figures do the talking, if they hit the numbers then sentiment should change.

It’s a constant FUD tag team, now we’re trying to cast doubt on the Lord Allen’s purchase, what’s next? Brilliant

Did we doubt it?

No I’m not worried, I added a few thousand this morning. Still underwater by a fair amount but have a 3-5 year outlook. Obviously frustrated i bought the bulk of my holdings way above a quid.

Running scared? What do you base that on? Strange comment.

Dg, we like balanced debate, but when posters agendas are blatantly obvious they get the treatment.

Steve, your tone seems to have changed today. You seem to be on the attack, thought you were invested trying to look for balanced debate?

Rodders, look at his 2 posts today - it’s great isn’t it!!
You won’t get an answer.

It was fudged together and put out for a reason, yesterdays action demonstrates that. For who’s benefit?
