BFD, I am with you. I hope now, many investors have taken time to dig deep on the Fraser Group, and their future plans and realise its not in our best interest, so vote against them. I also noted from comments on the board that some have changed their mind but have already voted. I may be wrong but I am sure you can still amend your vote. Can anyone confirm that.

Ask Studio Retail investors, and see what their view is. If you want to take the risk, then you are entitled to vote for MA. All I am saying, is look deeply into previous practices., and then decide. Both of these major shareholders built up major companies from nothing, and both have gone through dubious times, but I know who I trust more, and it's not MA.

I said I wasn't going to msg anymore on the boo board, but having looked at some of the companies that MA (Frasers) have invested in, I suggest you have a look at Studio Retail, and then make your mind up, on which way to vote.

I am always bleating on about this company, well managed, undervalued, and manufactures quality brick products.In recent months I have seen some very large buys, is someone interested in them! I am sticking to topping up on the lows, with a sell price of 150.

I am still sticking with the current board and will vote against MA and Lennon. In my opinion MA is not to be trusted, and I would not want to tell you " Told you so" six months down the line. No more posts on this matter from me.

You didn't read what I said. No I am not naive, just saying it as it is. I have no problem with investors or analyst taking a view, two views make a market. I wouldn't buy Ocado, but that's my view. My point is about short selling across the board, and in my view there are corrupt practices going on, and if you can't see that, with respect, you are the naive one.

I think you are missing something. If by corrupt practices, the value of a company is brought down, then they can be bought out on the cheap, or even worse. Like I said, there is nothing wrong with taking a view, but taking a view and then spreading untruths to bring the share price down, should be illegal, and it's about time that the Govt, did something about it. We all know who the culprits are, and it's about time that legislation was brought in to stop it.

I have always felt that anybody who is involved with short selling and disseminates untruths about a company, just to create a sell off, should be liable to prosecution. That said, Ocado have, over the years, received positive updates from their friends in the City.

They don't seem to be bothered about Shein and their manufacturing processes. Once again, the media are very quick to point out UK businesses, or is this another sponsored article.

Well said, my feelings exactly

This is old news but worth reading:

Mike Ashley, the founder of Sports Direct, promised to pay an investment banker £15m if he could double the clothing chain’s share price in three years, according to reports.

The Outcome:

Newcastle United owner and Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley has won a high court battle over a £15m deal allegedly made in a London pub, calling time on a case that will be long remembered for days of evidence concerning excessive alcohol consumption.

The case revolved around investment banker Jeffrey Blue’s allegation that during a “night of heavy drinking” at the Horse and Groom pub near Sports Direct’s Oxford Street store in January 2013, Ashley agreed to pay him £15m if the company’s shares doubled to £8.

However, on Wednesday, Mr Justice Leggatt, who had said he found the case was “a lot more interesting than some”, ruled that no one would have thought what Ashley said in the pub was “serious”.

“The Sports Direct senior management meetings certainly show that Mr Ashley is happy to combine discussion of business matters with the consumption of alcohol,” the judge said in his ruling. “But there is no evidence to suggest that Mr Ashley has ever negotiated or concluded a contract at one of these meetings.

Think very hard about your vote. I have placed my view already about the intentions of MA, and in my view, this man is in it for himself and not for us the PI or for the good of the company. I accept that MA is a wheeler and dealer, and I have the utmost respected for him and what he has achieved, but I don't want him anywhere near boo.

This is my opinion. I will not vote for MA, he in my view is attempting to obtain Debenhams on the cheap. Without doubt boo has been impacted by the likes of Shein, who are allowed to carry out their business without the trading and employment regulations required by UK companies. Hopefully, these issues will be addressed by Govt in the near future.

Well I topped up last week, confident in my previous comments. And for those who have a few pennies to spare, I would get into REAT & MBH, two companies who are very much worth investing in. Lastly, piled into TW yesterday @ 145, no brainer.

Well Bon_Scott, its looks as though you are going to recover your investment made @70p, as you can expect to hear some very good news, about a friendly Middle East Investment Fund in the very near future.

Ah, a response from bon. A simple yes would have sufficed. I don't often post msg, but in your case, I felt it was worth it.

Bon_scott, a question : are you invested in BOO? I expected a speedy response from such a prolific poster on BOO

I agree. Revenues generated from tax receipts will go some way to supporting the military garrison on the FI.
