I bought in at £52 - I never forget that day I couldn't choose between Next and Asos

I bought a £1.92

I have been buying since 1.92! This is a poorly managed company, they didn't care about retail investors they should never have floated. The only thing keeping me going is the management buy of shares and an incompetent labour government who will enforce EV at all costs but the loses are sore and the spreads are ridiculous!

The share buyback doesn't appear to be moving the needle....I am in from IPO and this has been painful.

I hope you are wrong! I have been in here since £1.92 and averaged 10 times.

I am 60% down and I am thinking about doubling my holding or taking the loss. I believe long term this is a great play, but can it survive the till the EV times arrive! it's 50% owned by French government in effective?

I have lost so much money on this share, I paid £1.92 per share and I am done averaging down. Still underwater. I just don't understand why, the results are in line with expectations, Is this just people thinking the EV market is not taking off and therefore demand will be well below or is this an issue with the company itself that's putting people off?

If this share was at risk wouldn't the Shorters be all over this, and yet they are not? Not one! Lots of good companies with no bad news hanging over them shorted to the hill, yet not here.

The time to buy is when the shorts start retreating, however until then we pray they get a bloody nose!

I bought this share for £50 per share and have averaged down 14 times. I even bought in the placing at £4.18 thinking that was the bottom. I am still 50% down and got an average of just under £7. It's now my largest holding and I would love to get out of this dog!

I am also disappointed, but if the management are so weak (no opinion) then this will become a takeover target with a good premium. I am going to buy more.....

This is a dog, I have averaged down 10 times, I waited since the placing to average down again and I choose yesterday! I am 70% down having averaged down 10 times...I am throwing my own logic out the window on this dog!

29% up and I am still 66% down. There is only so many times a man can average down in this share.....

I could kick myself, I bought in at 55p - averaged as it fell to 29p with a 41p average. When it dropped to 21p I knew I should have averaged but I didn't so it hurts watching all the short term holders make a huge profit when I haven't even broke even yet - but hey that's how the cookie crumbles. Well done to those who just got in a few days ago - fair play.

Turns out that Monday was the time to sell not buy!

One of the shorts probably got an MM mate to let him out for a 10% discount this morning. They are good to each other.

I hope your right Mary because like Greencore I am a whisker away from breaking even (down 6%) but bought in on IPO at £3.90 and have been painfully averaging down since. I have high hopes for this company still but can't wait to take some money off the table when I break even.

Hi Mary,

I was in at £1.30 but averaged down to 89 so I am a whisker off breaking even, not sure I have the appetite to keep going. I am a large buyer of there product for a supermarket and volume still significantly down vs when offices were full and at capacity. If you believe those days will return then this is a solid play but I am not so sure.

Thanks

I wish I had your faith, it's believing you what you said that has seen me average down from 90% around 5 times and still 50% down today. If you have been holding this share since £52 topping up constantly including the recent Primary bid raising then you can't help but conclude it's going to zero eventually....

I won't top up now till after the results, I think your 100% right correct, The results will be a horror show and this is them getting ahead.

This was a long term play, nothing has changed.

Your comments will be accurate in 10 years time possibly but before electric cars take over there will be a massive prolonged boom in second hand cars as lots resist the move to electric or the costs and that boom only starts when the new market in petrol / diesel cars end which is still 6.5 years off.

In my view Halfords are best positioned at least in the short / medium term.
