How the City Boys laughed when Pop said he didn't understand the valuations of Tech stocks as they made 100%/1000%+ gains during the Dot.com boom. The Old Guys lost it! - Right up until the Big Bust, when the only stocks with a REAL value turned out to be the ones he had invested in, many of which he still holds, DECADES later. I know - I lost 50k, but I saw the light.

Don't be shy:)

Where are you mate - has TRAF sunk you? What was your Loss?

Will that potential exist after the Divi cut the Times/Telegraph refers to today? Strangely enough, I saw that one coming, and you...

Never mind the Quality feel the width! More mates rates on Loans from directors? Any advance on 15% interest.... More 'keep it in the family', BOD deals selling off completed properties to each other ? Who cares what happens to the rest of the stock? We're All Right Jack - Pull up the Ladder!

I think you talk a lot of sense, perhaps even more than Bhodhi in Point Break...

Nurse! Nurse!! The restraining straps, quickly please.

You may like to ask why Pop has never owned SBRY or MRW, but still owns about 3.7% of Tesco

Wozzer knows about bad management, he is TRAF shareholder, 'nuff said..

It may that some LSE members sit on that Council & live in the Tunbridge Wells area. They may be as familiar with cheap wine & beer at the 'Spoons Opera House as the charms of the Pantiles. Is it wise to label them, 'Toffs & Upper class Morons'? It may well be as wozzer says, that they have studied TRAF's background, plus the latest RNS & been underwhelmed.

Whew! Extra English Classes for you, my boy. I have to disagree about MRW & SBRY, compare the Short Interest,( Big Boys, not Clowns like Seif), Huge difference, Short tracker: TSCO 0.74.%. SBRY 8.6%.

Become an Invester, NOT a Trader. Don't 'Play' with Mr Market - you will lose 9 times out of 10

Crocodile Tears, I'm afraid, from this Long Term Hypocrite.

This is what Sief Posted on the TESCO BB after saying, 'I am sitting on the fence'. I confess (and thought my copious hints alluding to the same) that I have been shorting here (I only stay in a few days, and use spread betting, so only making cash in the low hundreds (thus far!?). This was my hint at the 'shorting strategy does make sense' and it applies to me, although risk aversion and caution forces me (wrongly it seems to date) to close out early. - My views, if you look back at my posts, have been consistent, but have not alluded to shorting the stock out of sensitivity to those who are long here, and brought in for sound economic reasons. I do not want them thinking I am profiting at their expense, as my stakes are middling compared to the colossal sums (short and long) being made by the crooks and gangs who operate, run, and manipulate this market. You can think me a shorting swine,

One last try - if you had the cash to buy a mouse-trap - would you start building your own? Burning Cash is what these Yo-Yo's do best,IMO.

This scenario takes me back to an interview with a FTSE100 firm where I was told they were going to write their own Payroll Package from scratch, using contractors like me , to plug a lack of in-house Talent. You need the job, so you make agreeable noises, while thinking - they must be out of their minds...

An article sums up things well, IMO. The Cupid model is so great, they will now copying the competition. As I said months ago, why not just buy them out?
