"Also why has MA gone quite now? We all thought he was savoir and with letters of support, what was all that about?"

No. We did not "all" think that.

Or
"no equity value for the company's current shareholders"

Twice they warned that. Literally told everyone what was going to happen.

Agree DC, some ex shareholders of Debenhams don't understand that immediately after administration, Debenhams ceased trading and was sold to the lenders. Its there in the final rns.
I guess Celine UK Newco LTD just doesn't have the same ring to it.

You're lack of understanding is profound Pearls and contributors here are wasting their time trying to explain to you, as they wasted time before Deb went into administration in explaining why this was a terrible investment.

It very rude of you to keep repeatedly asking people to explain only to then dismiss them, repeatedly, imo.

My question to you: you are upset with the situation you find yourself in.

What are you going to do about it?

"what else can investors do but read the RNSs including outlook and results and make an informed decision?"

Thats exactly what they should be doing. But the reason you have lost out here is because you have drawn the conclusion that this was "was a gamble", when the reality, and history will attest to this, it was a "a guaranteed failure"

Its nothing to do with what your job is. Believe it or not, some investors go long and they go short. And they base their decision on the same research. The sort of research that would make them realise that Debenhams stock was junk.
That is why the assertion that this was a gamble that could have gone either way is utter garbage. It was only going to go one way and it did. Same with this ridiculous notion that a game theory calculation gave it a chance of success, well it didn't.
And btw, this research isn't even that difficult and is not restricted to pros, maybe its your "this could go either way" attitude that is losing you cash.

Cool story bro.

Shorters *generally* open positions when they consider failure to be a very high outcome. Unlike punters who go long, the risk is greater, because going long the biggest risk is that the SP goes to zero. For the shorter the risk is infinite. You say it could have gone either way, it was always knackered, thats why you pick so many turkeys, because you don't educate yourself as well as shorter does, you are just punting here there and everywhere. Shorters are usually right, which is why genuine short squeezes rarely ever happen (despite being predicted on almost every distressed share).

"I rather be positive - look from share value appreciation - and recovery"

Well bully for you, but you don't seem to be vert good at picking winning stocks

I doubt it, hedges who short rarely close a few days later, just because of a 5% increase.

Well done those who sold on the high. Dropped back down again. I wonder what the Canadians will think when they have had a proper look at the books?

Been a while since I dropped in here. All the stalwarts still out in force, still jam tomorrow? Or just a dog of a share?

Interesting what has happened here today. Touched nearly exactly 500. One would expect this to be a psychological point and for one of two things to happen:
1. Stop losses kick in and along with panic SP collapses futher.
2. The price becomes an (arbitary entry point) and a bounce occurs.

As you can see, in the last hour this has bounced hard.

My guess is it will fall back to 500, if it holds then we have a double bottom and I would expect that to hold until the findings of the review. A possible entry point.
All conjecture of course, will be back to see if this happens.

I am going to put out 280-300 as the support level again. If not for any other reason than for you all to have a good laugh at me again.

Glad I stuck it out. But I don't see an awful lot more growth here.

Disclosed shorts have increased recently.

The trend is down. At what point will the upper end of the profit warning be fully baked in- £40m? Or is there more to come that we don't know about?

If if if.

If my aunt had wheels, she'd be a bicycle.

The fact is none of those events were bull signals and we told you as much at the time. That isn't hindsight, its foresight. Some apparently are still too dim to get this.

Oh bore off.

"Wasn't MA going to save a substantial number of jobs if he'd been given chance?"

Your hero had his chance. And he blew it.

I guess investors see that TW margins are down due to material price increases. So logically they expect GT margins to be similarly down. Which would be a hit to the part of the business that has been propping everything up.
