I'm not VP's greatest fan but to be fair he has been correct with his calls overt the last 2 years. Ocado has been good to be but only when it has been in a good positive uptrend which is not the case at the moment.

So short it in October and go long November and December for guaranteed profits ?

I never realised investing was so easy !

I've made nice profits on this over the last year, very happy.However the wife is not so happy with the prices and also the use by dates. I hope they are not cutting back on quality in the quest for greater profits.

Oh Airfix, you do make me laugh.

How much have you lost shorting this share ?

Sharepad consensus price target is 234.

I bought at 89p so very happy this time, I've bought these 5 times before and made losses every time, it owes me !

On Sharepad they have twice as many buys as sells

It's a long time since I've been on here. I bought some during lockdown boredom following advice from TomE at 9p and sold a year later at 21p. I saw that it had fallen 30% and came on here to see what the reason was.

I am amazed that most are celebrating the big fall. This is madness. The current share price is what the market believes is the true valuation, taking into account all future possibilities. The blind faith on here beggars belief. A lot of people have lost a lot of money, actual or paper.

It's a pain if you hold ITFs

I've sold today after holding for my normal 12 month period. A dissapointing loss of 42% but my successes with this in previous years still leaves it as my best ever investment.

I have no idea of the fundamentals of the business but in the past when it takes off it has rocketed and there were many doomsters and gloomsters during those periods.

Hopefully it will rocket again and I can catch it at some stage.

Some of us remember VP hyping OCDO when it was £20 + which is why we are so sceptical about him now shorting the share.

If he thought it was good value at £20+, it is difficult to understand what changed that made it not value at £3+

Up 32% in a month, very impressive

The most heavily shorted share on the FTSE is PFC.

It went up 67% today !

Shorting is a fools game unless you have inside knowledge or can influence the share price

Glad I've held over the last few months.

I wonder how Airfix is getting on with his shorts

Boyobach, you are right, I read this board as light entertainment !

To be fair I don't have any idea who the 14 brokers or analysts are or the publication dates but it's the only data I have available easily.

I have an affection for OCDO because it has been my most profitable share in the past. I currently have a small losing position. I suspect I will end up selling at a loss but that happens with 40% + of my investments so I don't lose any sleep over it.

According to Sharepad the avergae target price is 676 based on 14 brokers.

Beware the wisdom of the crowd.

Investors Chronicle big tip this week was to sell Ocado.

They made a similar sell tip last year for Hotel Chocolat. It was then the subject of a takeover at a premium of 170% !

The most you can lose when going long is 100%, the potential losses shorting are limitless.

Kieran,

Beware, Valueplay has a poor track record.

In fact if you are relying on comments on these boards to make decisions then I suggest you stick your money in a world tracker, much safer.

Petrofac still down 85% so the shorters have still won on that one. Fight them at your peril !

Very dangerous to short any share.

Much safer to go long in one of the many thousands of companies available.

Not a good example, ASOS fallen 90% since
