The stock market has taken a complete beating, if this was with russia does end shorts will get demolished next week.

Love to see it.

As a long time THG shareholder I have been through two (yes two) possibly buyouts. Each time, the share price rises to levels that seem like a recovery or a nice buyout is on the cards.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a tactic to inflate the share price before making it crash again. If you were a hedge fund investor with ties to Apollo, wouldn't you load up now before knowing that you were going to offer a bid (that was never going to be accepted). Then sell your shares at a 100% premium (you could even short on the way back down).

It really does seem like the big boys really do hold all the cards.

Anybody find it crazy that a company worth billions gets 1/4 of its value removed because of potentially a single article. It blows my mind, it also feels like for the first time I could honestly say there were some dirty tricks at play for whatever reason, we won't know.

If you were short and didn't want to take a risk, getting out at a 25% premium for 20 minutes work seems like good business.

Saying the share price wouldn't change (or fall) if a bid didn't come in is like saying gas prices and energy profits wouldn't be high if Russia didn't go to war with Ukraine. Which is a daft statement because share price changes are based on life, and the unexpected change that go with it.
Yes, if nothing in life changed then share prices wouldn't go up or down very much, not much of a statement is it.

You wouldn't sell once an offer has been placed on the table correct. It would have to be higher than the current share price so makes little sense to sell.

The only reason I still hold this stock when it's 98% down is for 2 reasons.

As a reminder to not buy stupid shares with an awful background.

Secondly, one day they allow share holders a go on some of their machinery before they go bankrupt. I have always wanted to have a go on a huge digger or drill. I could sell 600,000 shares and buy a hard hat.

To become established in the PCW world takes years, even if you are a big brand. You need above the line (non internet based) advertising over a long period. Either that or Amazon would need to run at a net loss for 3-5 years to grow an established base.

Even google ran 'Google compare' for a year in the UK for both motor and home insurance before pulling the plug, and they own search.

My broker (freetrade) wont let me buy these shares due to Russia. But they don't mind selling shares in oil companies making millions off the back of war. They tried to make me sell ages ago. I am holding for the long run, these will multibag.

This share has dropped 99% for me. I still hold the shares as a reminder to try and not make stupid decisions in life.

That, and don't buy magical unicorn shares. How is this company still trading again?

I hope there is enough sun tan cream for to go around for the shorts after the bidding war ends and we get the real share price value. That's if MM doesn't take it private for even more!

Odd you pick those two ratings for two reasons.

Firstly THG is in the middle of possibly multiple offers for a takeover, with a floor price of 1.70 already.

Secondly this is from a ratings website, which shows basically nobody knows where this stock will go. It could go between 8,60 and 1,50. so thanks, but, you are right it's totally pointless.

THG stock is Buy based on the current 1 hold rating and 4 buy ratings for THG. The average twelve-month price target for THG is GBX 485.40 with a high price target of GBX 860 and a low price target of GBX 150.

Anybody who sells now must be out of their mind. A floor offer of 1.70 has been made, and it's clear things are happening behind the scenes. The risk reward is...yes this could drop a bit, but we are talking like a 10% drop vs a 75% gain or even more. I love watching this share.

Even if it dropped, you just have to wait for the return. The business metrics are solid.

Has a peace deal been agreed, or are we closer to some type of resolution? You can always tell by looking at the stock market. This is going to be interesting. I don't see why this would be 37% up, unless anybody can shine any light?

My frame of mind is that I never sell a share for a loss. Although moat of my portfolio are 5-6% divi shares I do have some growth ones. Only a few hundred £ as a punt on this share but it will be my first to go to zero. Congrats CEG you win at being the best losers.

THG achieved huge yoy growth at a slight hit to margin. This is normal for many businesses who want to scale. This seems like a no brainer. I have seen businesses in the pandemic fall in volume YoY and profit been less effected. Just hold until your happy with your profit.

Just bought more shares.

Take a step back and look at the businesses. Myprotein and almost every online brand is profitable. We are still in lockdown and may be for some time. All of their businesses are online. They are going to benefit for some time to come. P/E ratio is stupidly low, the risk/reward with this share is crazy, it's not like they need a big turnaround.

HBR is like that one problem child. You give it all the extra love and they still let you down. Well I finally got out with a slim profit today. I have Carnival, BP, Capita, Investec all up between 20-60%. With gas and oil how it is and ot positive movement this needs to go. If it goes up 200% in the next 6 months, then I will be happy for you with no regrets for putting this dog down. Good luck all.

What I find odd looking at these forums you have a group of people who continually post bad news all day every day. It's like saying you hate a specific TV programme over and over. Why not just change the channel? or in this case sell the stock and buy one of the other thousands available.

I love the simple things in life. The stock market is so easy. You buy low sell high. This is near the 5 year low, why would anybody sell a high profit generating share at it's lowest poin? Utter madness. I am buying all I can and going to hold until about a 20% swing, and a divi payment.
