they don't stay long as it's path is relentlessly upwards...for the time being. an inevitable retrace at some point, however small or large, will see a reappearance you can be sure. for the time being...enjoy the ride...

is still under the radar of many investors. Any weakness is bought into in a very wobbly market and uncertain times. Enjoying the ride so far. GLA

correction: cpi swung to a £62.5 mill loss from £272mill profit. Quite a reversal :(

shopping habits are changing to online quickly...decline of the high street is rapid...boo are well ahead of most of the online field and have established good brand loyalty...let's see how good memories and "morals" over pay are when the autumn and winter comes around and/or there's a second spike...boo will take full advantage. GLA

uddin: CPi price 4th Jan 170p. cpi price 4th March BEFORE the UK began to shut down 126.5p. I know because I bought some at 160...watched it go to 175 and then plummeted. Check the historic price charts.

That link wasn't hard to find...

cpi dropped from 170p (albeit not to 20p) to around 120 BEFORE covid hit due to a disappointing trading update profit reversal from being positive by a decent few millions to being in the red by about £165 millions. There are some big issues with cpi beyond and exacerbated by covid.

A severe financial hit but the impact hasn't been severe? Give up hope right now...GLA

Hey alamo. I'm guessing what we're seeing is what you might call a wild swing? Admittedly it's still on a general upwards trajectory for the moment. More turbulence ahead methinks. Still hoping for £2 'ish for a top up...GLA

No wranglings needed...unless someone posts sarcastic comments like yourself who don't actually read what I wrote. My comment was that it isn't untouchable. And you obviously haven't put your mortgage on it which proves the point nicely. That isn't to say that I don't believe that the trajectory will be upwards overall. As I'm invested here, I sincerely hope it will be higher than now in a year...and my £1.90 was as I said, wishful thinking. There's a long way to go with covid I think....and negative at that maybe....jobs data after furlough will prove an interesting point for the market reaction...as will ongoing China/US/Brit/Hong Kong relations not to mention Brexit. A turbulent time coming up. Buy on anything near my wishful thinking of £1.90. GLA

Yep...about as amateur as they get. You're a professional investor, of course. If it was untouchable, it wouldn't FALL...there's a clue in there somewhere for you...covid (oh, was that the reason for the FALL?) or not.... Zero risk, eh? Got your mortgage on it then, have you? Oh wait...

Are you seriously posting that? Nothing but NOTHING is untouchable. Otherwise, it wouldn't have fallen to £1.20 ish earlier this year, obviously. This is all sentiment driven at the moment with wild swings. Nothing goes up in a straight line. Big increase usually followed by retraces...My advice: patience and buy the dips around £1.90 would be a decent entry...wishful thinking maybe on my part...GLA

Sticks and stones. So childish...resorting to trying to score points by commenting on a username. Pathetic. Still, that's what this forum is for, eh? Goldman are notorious for their stupidly optimistic predictions. I'd have thought being such an experienced poster and no doubt investor, you'd have known that? Oh wait....
Don't be late for nursery school in 3 weeks time...

Goldman?! LOL. Typically ridiculous. In fact, probably a sell then...

relentless (upwards) of ocdo. Companies around the world must be looking hard at this platform in the light of the current crisis and further shift in shopping habits to online shopping. The dominant beast of the supermarket world? Just need the capacity to accept all of the orders and ship them out. And what price per share when (not if) the next overseas deal is announced in no doubt not too distant? Predictions for the end of year share price...GLA

It's definitely not a no brainer. It dropped from 1.70 to 1.20 before covid news etc on very poor results swinging from a nice profit on the road to recovery to a thumping loss of many millions last year. Over sold and Sentiment may be changing however. Slow and steady with retraces no doubt as the market swings between positive news and bad and back. GLA

We all echo that. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Greedy and have the balls when others are fearful and your portfolio is down (on paper) a terrifying amount and keeps falling or have the ready cash to be able to do it... Sentiment seems slowly changing in the market so looking more positive. GLA

In my experience, any good news will fall flat...because it won't be good enough (unless they're spectacular...which they're not going to be) so expect a corresponding fall. Bad news...not as bad as expected so expect a price rise. The very stupid rules of the game...Starting to look more positive here though now...sentiment slowly changing...onwards and slowly upwards not withstanding the inevitable retraces...GLA

You can't say it's to the abyss (over reaction or what?) when it's 32p and the bottom was 19p...so far. There's money to be made here...just need conditions and oil to ease. Patience...and a calm head...needed. GLA

from last week unfortunately coming true. Oil price spooks the market. Was just a matter of time. These are very volatile times. This is a buy around 20p and trade for 10/20% gains. GLA

Nope...just able detect BS from quite a distance. You really shouldn't be so naive as to believe what people post on here. I've just banked a nice 85% profit...blah de blah...all because of the negative comments on this BB...the other 5 or 6 BB's there are going as well as this one. Btw please give me a tip as to what to buy...then I'll chuck £10k in there jus5 because you said to on this BB....
