Excellent find. Was meant to be Q1 of 2023 so could in theory have been up to 31rst March

So they have virtually got all those products conceived, produced, nutritional valued, branded and into Iceland shops in record time and so that they are launched on effectively the first day after the New Year Bank Holidays. Now that is really good going.

Just shows that whilst people play and manipulate with the share price MM and team just keep their heads sown and get on with delivering products to market, and ahead of time in this case imo.

Have to agree there is some good choice there.

When the share price is gapping back up on the offer at half points and 3/4 points at a time it wasn't shorters that caused the recent fall it was the market makers. Said that at the time and there was a 10% fall here when most retailers including etailers hardly fell at all.

Presented a nice opportunity for December and Jan top ups and a trading pot on top for a 2nd festive bonus.

That's why people have been piling on over the last few days.

There is a fair chance that the worlds biggest population China just opening up flying without Covid under control could lead to a spread of Covid again or new variants and from commentary could have the potential to reset the clock back to the start of the pandemic.

Personally I hope not but there is a lot of mileage between just over £1.00 and the near £12.00 it previously reached.

Well done those who spied the opportunity first thing yesterday.

Is what probably holds the key here.

They didn't hesitate to buy once the closed period was over. Couldn't buy before.

But several large buys with their own money says they have confidence in whats around the corner.

Well those spread bet short have until 12:30 today to decide what they are going to do before they get locked in.

Clean bill of health then it should open much much higher.

Nice to see it climbing again.

Lot of gas assets for not a lot of money in the present climate.

Half expecting an oil and gas major to take them over.

Most adverts since Christmas have been January sales and Holidays. Its that time of year.

Share price is being played. By the market makers, not short positions.

It's been made to virtually half on no amazing volume.

If the next update surprises to the upside or a bid for the whole or any part of THG emerges the present price will pale into insignificance

Be thankful for the opportunity if you believe.

It's z light trading today and most II's have probably packed up to travel to Xmas destinations early to avoid the rail strikes.

You would think it will get back there prior to the next trading update.

Always nice to see a Director purchasing shares with their own money.

Its made a decent recovery in the last few months and here's to 2023.

Have a goodun

Good spot also Crafty. I did say at the time that I thought they would be on the receiving end of a lawyers letter.
Looks like that or a lawyers phone call might have been the cause of the change of wording.

I agree with the thread title. Now which suppliers to THG need to issue the RNS for if you read back the article it was the suppliers to THG that had the credit insurance withdrawn. Not THG itself.

Market makers get 3 Million traded by sinking the price on a light volume half day and letting a short position come across the back, whilst in all probability another was buying and reducing their position.

If you area believer be grateful for the opportunities that get presented your way.

Nothing actually has changed since good Black Friday to Cyber Monday sales and 79 imvho.

Sir Tom Hunters comments were actually part of the release of numbers for his investment vehicle West Coast Properties which has seen him make healthy returns across a number of his investments. I'd watch for him adding at these levels.

Looks like the shorts on Home Reit (Home) have started closing or going long. Nice rise and timely and did think there were buyers last week. Took the view that that one has been probably been nobbled and their is probably not a lot of substance to the allegations. Nice ex-dividend coming up and I can't see those shorts having the bottle to hold it into suspension with the Board repeatedly saying the allegations are spurious and whilst they have BDO rechecking the accounts with the specific allegations in mind. Comes out the other side with a clean bill of health then you would expect a good squeeze. GL anyone participating there.

Slow and steady rises at THG will do nicely until next news.

Consignment of RevB products received this morning off the Debenhams (Boohoo) website on free standard delivery 3-5 days delivery and only ordered Sunday, so 2 days.

Happy as Larry with that. Probably best now to elect for the next day delivery option unless you wish to chance it.

Ordered a consignment of Revolution Beauty products off the Debenhams website, (Boohoo owned) at the weekend with free standard delivery and it has just arrived today with EVRI. Excellent service.

By comparison I sent a parcel recently to another part of the UK with Royal Mail on 48 hour tracked and it took 12 days to get there.

In my eyes they have definitely been using the better delivery service for this Christmas.

Probably still time for those last minute orders but maybe elect for next day delivery.

Certainly a different day today on the trading volume after those 3 large Director buys.

Those that tried to sink and suppress the price yesterday seem to have got caught short with the rise into the close and the Director Buys news and are staring at have to spend the same money again, probably more to take it back to 63p and 64p. You would expect dips now to be bought into.

Just my thinking.

Ste2000 I don't think they are treating shareholders with contempt. I just don't think they don't need to reply to every piece of imo debatable journalistic content and editorial comment. Same as they don't need to reply to every blog post on here. They have an ever expanding business to run in a competitive world, have already told us that its undervalued at last bids and bought substantial tranches of shares themselves.

It seems clear some entities are trying desperately to feed the journalists stories to try and influence the price, The Financial Times, Times and now the Guardian but when you actually drill down into the actual and factual content very little of it contains THG facts. Most of it is summation and innuendo. Market makers just sliding it with the stories and the spread to spread to bag a buck.

That's probably aided, yes frustratingly, by THG keeping their lips tightly sealed whilst expanding the business in a competitive environment full of snakes and vipers.

Its gone 79p to 52p recently on very little news of substance that hasn't attracted any real volume and all the while it is now back in the zone for approaches off previous bidders, moving closer to next update, breakeven and profitability in 2023 and 2024. Ticking clock all the time also for expiry of the Golden share.

If you are buying in stages just be grateful for the opportunities that the market keeps presenting and focus on others in the meantime.

Can't make my mind up whether or not to get into Home Reit prior to ex-dividend and suspension whilst the auditors double check the books against what they claim are spurious allegations.

Well they couldn't take advantage of the recent 50p drop in the share price due to the closed period but 3 directors certainly took advantage of the further 10% drop yesterday to buy substantial stakes, the standout one being the 1 Million purchase.

Hoping it dips a bit further myself to follow their lead.

They are certainly preferred bidder in several contracts for substantial sums.

Popping it in the ISA for a substantial recovery in 2023

Been an interesting day and remarkably the chance for everyone to top up around 63p and 64p.
