Good to see some appearing.

It always finishes down when MM posts and tries to wax lyrical with the numbers. Why should today really have been any different.

If those average salaries some quoted are true then no wonder they struggle to return anything meaningful to shareholders. There are Fire fighters, Hospital and Ambulance staff, Police officers and Military risking life and limb every day and fighting to preserve the same and who work 24/7, are on duty for bank holidays, and struggle to even get holidays around half terms and most will be lucky if they get 2/3rds of that in a good year. Many of them in London also with exhorbitant living costs.

The market just doesn't seem convinced that THG will meet it's maintained guidance and that's why imvho it's struggling to hold on to any rises.

Both sides know the red lines, but there nothing lost by re-chancing you arm.

However here is what both sides are saying:

"Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov said:

Ukraine and Russia have agreed to swap 1,000 prisoners of war each, noting a date has been set but not made public

A potential meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin was discussed and a possible new round of talks will be announced soon

A possible ceasefire, in "all modalities" was discussed

Vladimir Medinsky, head of the Russian delegation said:

A prisoner swap will take place in the "coming days", involving "1,000 for 1,000"

Russia has "noted" Ukraine request for direct talks between Putin and Zelensky

Each of the two warring countries "will present its vision of a possible future ceasefire"

The share price is looking a bit brighter today

Looks like there may be a Trump / Putin phone call going in this evening. dyor

Cryptic comment off Donald J Trump this fine morning.

Or did it just go Ex-dividend yesterday hence the consequential drop in the share price?

To reinvest or not to reinvest. That is the question.

By John Goold's pension vehicle.

That probably rules out any further Selkirk interest in THG, otherwise it would be deemed to be inside info.

400, lets see what gets offered up at the actual negotiating table. Rubio and Witkoff are both attending from the American side so along with Erdogan and his staff they will all play their part, and no doubt given the American contingent we will get Trump updates. He'll show if it's close (along with Donald J.Trump) and for all we know he could be sat in the Russian Ambassadors residence in Turkey as we speak.

"a senior russian lawmaker said the makeup of moscow’s delegation would be made public on wednesday evening, adding that an all-for-all prisoner exchange could be on the table. “about istanbul, i won’t say anything, you’ll know everything in the evening,” said leonid ****sky."

He could turn up tomorrow at the outset or come in at any point during negotiations JPP.

Twas Putin that instigated these talks and supposedly for '"serious discussions" and without pre-conditions. Far better to be at the negotiating table than not.

Whilst bid fever continues 9I'll just be happy to bank another dividend.

Ex-divi date tomorrow I believe?

I think everyone is adult to know the implications if Putin does turns up as Trump has indicated, and also if a peace deal then materialises. I for one certainly don't expect Mr Putin to be communicating his movements in advance and he certainly hasn't to date ruled out attending.is adult.

Does anybody know what and for the negotiations?

Not far off the 170p forecast davethehorse.

Always seems to make a good recovery from any dips.

Fully recovered from the Donald J Trump Liberation Day slump ... and some more on top.

It's been a patient wait for it to spark to life again.

Stanleyb they are one of the biggest suppliers to your baby, THG, and a contributor to THG Ingenuity so I'd be careful what you wished for. Lets hope If what you say is correct then lets hope THG have the foresight to get well stocked up.

And client of THG Ingenuity btw.

You just need to keep an eye on the REVB situation and I'd suggest adding it to your notifications for on the THG Lookfantastic website they have a full 7 pages of REVB product.

If they do fall into administration it will have an impact to the share price just as it did previously when REVB announced that they would be ending the relationship with THG, albeit from memory that about turned in a week. They are a big supplier to THG.

I think if he is looking to reset pricing, and he gave the example of a certain weight loss drug priced in the US v the UK then any reset should be by comparison with the prices charged in other developed countries. Nobody, not even Trump I think, would like to see underdeveloped countries deprived of much needed vaccines and medications, especially when it is so easy just to hop on a plane. He's probably aiming for the middle ground.
