I got 408.5p on what was a totally unwarranted fall.

Easy money picking this up on the dips.

That's me done with researching and popping anything up on here after that comment and you wonder why Moulding supposedly doesn't care about the 35% and impatient "fast cash".

Happy to sit back and wait for the Q3 update and to nab my October monthly top up, if I haven't already.

GL all and catch you at Q3 update.

And another - The Independent this time and it highlights both the Lookfantastic and Cult Beauty Advent Calenders.

https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/christmasgifts/beauty-advent-calendar-makeup-uk-b2235321.html

So that's Cult Beauty, Glossybox and Lookfantastic X 2 hitting the headlines.

Well they must be doing something right with all the positive reviews.

Just looking to order one myself for a nearest and dearest off Lookfantastic. Which one though do I go for. We actually sell more than our own.

Nice results off Tesco with raised guidance this morning.

Another that seems to be doing rather nicely out of a cost of living crisis.

Looks like the first of the green coffins has popped up so its shut up shop time for a bit from me.

Whilst we wait for any other more pertinent news.

No 1 spot goes to our very own GlossyBox Advent Beauty Calender. £80 for non subscribers. £70 Subscribers.

No 2 spot goes to our very own Lookfantastic Advent Beauty Calender £99.

Both well cheaper than Sephora which is almost double the price and makes it to Number 3. (£189)

The Telegraph if you remember reviewed 33 of these and gave the Lookfantastic Calender the accolade of "Best Value" Beauty Advent Calender.

Excellent results off Tesco but if the numbers are up across the likes of banking and supermarkets then ultimately it's the consumer they are profiting from and that has been paying for it, either through increased food prices, mortgage and loan rates and petrol prices on their forecourts. I do like the way though that they are convincing the market it is otherwise.

Not me that called 425p but sub 420p was irrestible.

Everybody is probably sat scouring to see who's the first to mirror the React News article in print without paywall and to confirm who the new suitor is.

Would be a good reliable income stream for a Pension Fund and given they are not investing in Casino UK / UK markets

Will it be Propertyweek, CityAM, Sky News or one of the Tabloids or a Regional like the Manchester Evening News....?

*Now what will Matty boy be doing with his new found wealth. I thought last night it might have been a Pension fund but a sidekick of the previous suitor means most of the legwork will have already been done.*

Excuse the previous typo.

Dafad - that job advert looks like they are looking to expand the frozen ready meals and foods offerings into the US through the companies listed and "Canteen" are a big company in the US on the vending machine side. Good routes to market if they can nail a few.

Specimen you can't even get your numbers right on how many shares and CFD's Kelso still have and they Kelso also set out their full rationale on why they sold and why they still hold 80% of what they had. All down to the volatility of the THG share price. Not many can argue with that and personally speaking its the correct thing to have done if you had CFD's running i.e. leverage, and if you have a targeted minimum 25% return on your investments.

On a personal note I'm not really bothered what you or anyone else thinks on Kelso for they'll prove you wrong. Its a very cheap share price, now that it has diversified interests and is banking money along the way - and if you're here because you think the THG share price is going to significantly appreciate.

Each to their own.

No what will Matty boy be doing with his new found wealth. I thought last night it might have been a Pension fund but a sidekick of the previous suitor means most of the legwork will have already been done.

New Consortium reviving the previous deal. That's how it reads.

Game on again.

Now here's another Casino movement today.

PFC - otherwise known as Petrofac. An Oil Services company that has been winning many contracts, one after the other, and one a Multi-Billion pound European wind farm project with Toshiba.

Today they announce another new £600 Million pound contract. The share price opens up (and rightfully so imvho). However it ends down 2.5% and at a recent low. Yet last week it goes up roughly 10% when Fitch Ups their Credit rating. Just remind me which one of the two would add to the bottom line and profit and loss, and which one doesn't

Complete and utter Fu gazi markets in the UK and zero rationale behind daily price moves up or down in many shares.

That's not just @THG, it's actually across many shares.

Nice recovery in BOO today and although it is no comparitor for THG (other than they both do online business) it actually ended up with a lower fall than @THG. Happily for some of my spare cash and effectively a 10% turnaround in its share price.

Can everybody Place their bets please. The Croupier is just about to spin the Roulette wheel. Thats actually what it feels like and although I don't agree with everything that Matt Moulding says I do personally agree that London markets are resembling nothing more than a Casino at the moment and why not an independent body like the Gambling Commission or properly sourced FCA to deal with the daily manipulations.

No point perpetually moaning about it Matty when you are actually spot on with what the problem is. Hatch that plan and get something done about it - to the betterment of the share price.

For a top up and just based on the share price alone.

Its getting to a good entry point again given the last update.

Wil I / Won't I. That is the question.

Indeed it's a weird drop again today.

It's starting to get appealing though for a top up with some traders.

Oh I remember those days of the Postal dispute last year very well Anacott. Last year I had several longer distance parcels to despatch to different parts of the UK. Those I elected to post at a sorting office to try and save time and all amidst the scenes of parcels stacked up in piles and piles outside the sorting depots as they accumulated and accumulated and overflowed the inside storage space. Now that was Industrial action all timed for massive impact and disruption and it worked. I think all will be able to recollect the scenes. Fortunately for me they all arrived prior to Xmas Xmas as I posted them early but some took an eternity to arrive, on 48hr tracked postage. Yes last year the postal delivery of online goods were severely disrupted and all the negative publicity generated caused people to take the alternative route and shop on the high street and pay the higher prices instead.

You're entirely right that it's a different dynamic on that front this year for online retailers.

Indeed it does seem to be guilty by association (with BOO) even though it is it's own being.
