Deluded as ever.

Theo I was 79 not 76.

Matlot had no clue and gave us 3 scenarios. The guy who is supposed to know the inside track had less idea than my Nan.

Loans reducing - that’s great !!!
Deposits increasing a bit, equivalent to a couple of big investors getting out of the stock market and sticking it in the bank.
An opportunity missed to be positive, so the markets will assume there’s nothing to be positive about - again.

It’s a car crash of a company..

Think Private Investor sentiment has turned increasingly positive, the numbers are growing and that's unfortunate for ALL THE BEAR articles - they can only throw so much.
Confidence expressed in an extra £741m deposit growth is testament to that.
Controlled increased in loan book to help reduce Loan to Deposit is proof they are being careful and sensible.
Also a reassuring note about not intending to dilute shareholders with further equity raises mid-term.
Idiot Short Sellers can only hang on the FCA - and not remotely bad as SFO like Petrofac etc.
So they can do what they like others are taking note of the slow but meaningful turnaround evident in 17/9/19 MREL Prospectus.

That was September when the share price was 274. Thousands before and since saying pretty much the same things over and over again. Bet the farm, keep the story going, watch it fall then fall some more, keep pumping whilst ignoring everything else being said and countless other opportunities to help recover your money. Accuse everyone who isn't in balls deep or with a different opinion of shorting.

No clue, and even less credibility !

No-one wants to play which is sad, you'll be pleased to hear that I've got better things to do with my time so can't be a55ed to post much on any boards from now on. I'll see you on Wednesday though..!

Most of the big opinions strangely not willing to play.
Cud feeling the pressure, and accusing holders of shorting, no sign of malot which is no surprise as he always goes missing when he's called out and/or when the share price is plummeting.
it's quite easy, pay £5 to a fab cause, name your price and let's see whether all of your research/reasoning/opinions/bluster is close to or wide of - REALITY ???!

so put your fiver in and name your price - or we'll just assume it's 120 and you don't have enough for a fiver or don't care enough about the NHS to donate. Lots of big opinions on here (including mine) so back it up team Rampy and Yappy ?

matlot, don't pretend I'm filtered...

So we have matlot thinking the numbers will be good :-

I believe Q1 will have been stronger than expected to warrant a £2m fund for employees hence very excited"

and Noveckingclue thinking they won't

"more chance of a one legged man winning an a55 kicking competition.."

What will the share price be at close of business on Wednesday, £5 to the website below to enter, £50 to the same charity for the furthest away. Who's in ?

Jim, you take issue with what Theo may or may not be holding but have you or anyone else on here taken the slightest interest in what your messiah is holding.
He's never taken a step back, never given the impression he's sharing in the pain of some on here - do you have any idea whether he has any part of this company - or do none of you care because he just says what you want to hear ?

If you're wanting to start poking people who may be up to no good, start looking in the right place...

Theo, keep up the good work. Your analysis is sound whether the short term traders now long term holders want to hear it or not.

Pander, shorting markets with our chips won't hurt anybody. Shorting the right shares could but I don't do it as a rule - shorted Tesla a couple of months ago at a mere 10p a point - lost £2k in an afternoon and remembered why I no longer spread bet.

You can short markets at generally 1x 2x or 3x the fall (or rise) via ETF's on most good platforms with tight spreads and no stamp duty. If you're trading but predominantly holding it's sometimes a good idea to put short index hedges in - especially when things are volatile. One way bets are only good when markets or shares go up or down in straight lines - which sometimes happens obviously, but seeing 10 days of rises is often a good time to reduce and/or short ?!

No harm in trying it, no-one gets it right all of the time (except in hindsight obviously) but winning a bit when your shares are dropping or in a trading range makes the wine taste better.

:-) took me a while - Vernon Hill ?!

are you a different name on there, been having some fun with the bipolar crackheads, complete drug fuelled lunacy.

you're definitely not SR, or IDF - can't imagine you're pio3 and I get get on ok with the others ?!

above the bed, what will your husband say ?

and no not at the moment - not a f chance - at best a hold

thanks, let's leave it there then unless you want a signed photo ?

that things were expensive again, that the markets would sell off again, that there were some big numbers coming out in the US that would likely disappoint. Shorting the markets as a hedge ! Selling some of your shares to take profits or reduce the chance of increasing losses in a toppy market ?
Or was that all hindsight too ???

Wandering around with a big bag full of sour grapes makes it doubly annoying when people get it right.

Inertia, apathy and just picking fights is probably the way forward though..

shame you took the p155 rather than the advice..

oh well

morning Theo, sorry not on my radar as I'm mainly larger caps.

Can't see why they won't be one of the few big winners in all of this though, in terms of how much of it is in already the price you'd have a good idea I suspect.

bargains to be had already again, some sectors just get absolutely beasted on the bad days

:o)

team hindsight bossing it again...

do you think I should reduce my shorts or keep them running - how are your trades doing ?

it's his only bank short, his biggest short apart from Intu properties which is hard to short as there is a lack of stock -intu is a basket case, he obviously feels the same about metro.

I don't think every time an institution goes short or takes a long position in a share PI's should follow suit, all the fund managers I spoke to in January were still telling me to buy equities for clients. Most lose to tracker funds when you factor in the charges.

Odey is almost irrelevant at this stage, the way that the company is being run and the numbers will determine the direction of the share price after next week, he has momentum and sentiment on his side with metro, only a shift their perceived prospects will change that.

Pander, and a chance to wear your posh dress - maybe next year if you're still solvent

shorts not looking so good in hindsight though :o)

Closed more longs and now big dinners short though, and now more short than long for the first time since the correction.

Big and Short Pander - just the way you like it .. : o) Remdesivir, that's the solution to all of this - it isn't it's an anti viral..

Anyway, lets see how it all pans out over the next week or so in hindsight land..

great to see you back panda, did mum give you some sweeties and a hug to make you feel better ?

we can keep the bb peaceful and constructive like it was after you p155ed off or you can continue to be a d1ck and we can just spend all day arguing - your call big man

short, his missus told me
