Tullow share price at 22p yesterday on $70 - $75 per barrel of oil (Brent)

To be fair the content of some of these articles are getting weaker and weaker.

One on Matt Mouldings Expresso intake and now this backfire that highlights the FT are not immune themselves. That in itself is probably a blessing in disguise and leaves the door open for THG positive news to have its own iimpact on the share price.

You get the feeling there is a tussle going on but that off such an undervalued shareprice and with a Golden share ticking down, that its a tussle that THG will in all probability win. 2 Bids in a year also backs that up.

Morale of the recent FT article has to be that people in greenhouses shouldn't throw stones.

Manipulation works two ways.

Better day today.

Probably more short reduction.

Have we actually started to get beyond this point now

The proof in the pudding in what I have just said is the lack of any real volume, and amidst that any noticeable "sell" volume.

All too many times @THG, and at many other companies, these press negative stories (however they may come about) and associated fugazy leads to cumulative deductions in the share price that get exaggerated and never fully given back. In consequence that is why you end up with such glaring discrepancies between share price / market cap and Sum of parts, it's why Active Investors hop onboard and ultimately why Bids and Offers get tabled.

Twice here already. A move back up to more realistic levels has to be on the cards or I suspect we won't have long to wait for 3rd time lucky

Last few years this has been a lucrative money conveyor belt for HF's, but now at such low pricing and with 2 bids in 2 years and at such low levels (Lower than the price of Ingenuity alone) investors who were previously spooked are sitting on their hands and rather than being pancicked into selling are actually calling out and questioning the source and motive of the scribings. Something that the journalist themselves should be doing.

This latest article seems to be having the opposite to its intended effect and like it or not, or its manner of delivery, that has been down to quickly refuting any claims.

Matt Moulding is imo completely correct as the CEO of THG to defend the companies reputation and integrity. That he has quite clearly done with supporting examples including the FT's own accounts and that of Sainsbury's. Ultimately though, when THG have clear cut evidence of reputational damage or collusion like this then they should consider taking one of these instances through the High Court for financial damages, but moreso to act as a deterrence to others. That plus direct reporting to the FCA.

You would also think, that at some point, the Market Makers themselves also aware of the fugazy nature of the share price fall prior to the article being published would have integrity and wherewithall to give it back and not be party to things. (Maybe the next few days).

Over and above all of this the part way to resolve these matters is to be Buying Back your own shares and taking advantage of these orchestrated dips and by reducing the free float of shares. On that they have been advised several times.

The ultimate losers in all of this will be City firms themselves that are dependent on the lucrative Fees income from a previous raft of flotations that are now almost completely drying up. Those plus the reputation of "The City" itself. Simple question to be asking is why are there such glaring anomolies between so many companies share prices and their Sum of Parts valuations that is making them subject to bid activity and takeovers.

Here being a pertinent example of such a glaring anomoly. Not once but twice already.

There's a buy order being filled in the background.

Let me finish the sentence off...

"then they'll certainly be interested at 60p"

Or buy low, sell high.

Some have timeframes beyond an hour or a day.

TerryMC1,

Read today's update several times and itis definitely far better than just a 4% gain imvho

Manifesto,

Apollo did their own due diligence on THG and made a good offer, way above the present share price and with still sufficient left in it for them to profit handsomely as well. Why therefore wouldn't they seek to buy undervalued shares. PE is out to profit just like anyone else and bare minimum they will cover their Bid costs.

What an absolute gift it was yesterday at under 67p

Lets get the numbers published, relisted and then this gets Bid for by Boohoo.

There were reasons for why Apollo appeared @THG when it did.

The massive Gap to Sum of parts valuations

Try and do a deal before the £ strengthened further to the $ and

Things on the turn @THG with focus now on those same business fundamentals

Very sensitive to small volumes either way 1pencil.

A disciplined approach says hopefully they closed their CFD's on THG for a nice profit and still have their shares invested.

Been a good couple of days.

Still deeply undervalued.

Indeed 2phevs.

I like how they are quite happy to mention Sheffield automation and a new USA Distribution Centre with phased opening. We said virtually one line about our new New Jersey Distribution Centre opening. I'd choose Boo over Asos any day. Recent falls over there are probably overdone. Proves there's a lot of mileage left to run in Internet retailers.

Well the Boohoo update certainly reads well and shows what can be achieved by a concentration on the key business fundamentals and principles. Here's to our next update.

I take it their update pleased and they are doing the right things
