Timy, i got similar dilemma. Bought a load of these at 200. half are in ISA but probably want to sell others before 5th April to use up full CGT allowance!

I'm rather sceptical now as to how much the SP is related to the OP: 14th Jan SP 311, OP$56; 5th Feb SP 252, OP$59 etc. I think macro economic issues now far more influential. Wed:budget; Thurs:OPEC meeting. Either of those could drive this either way although i think we'll see a steady upward path!

way past your bedtime. Remember you gotta get up early to press sell at 8am like the rampers who beat you to it on Friday afternoon!

oh & i like the white lies about Boo. you only bought there in January. Must be on a loss there too. Explains the frustrated stress i suppose. Give up this share game mate. Stick to the paper round!

fundamentals you obviously paid to much for this stock. I bet you claim to have bought cine @14p as well. Come on.How much you out of pocket on your bizarre investments really?

it doesn't really bother me if Boo goes down or up really. Just noting it's on a down trend. That's all. Likewise, i don't care too much for what price this goes to either until it descends to a true & realistic value entry price which is below 30p!

Wiscos you should perhaps also advise extremist rampers to desist from falsely inflating the stock which might encourage people to buy at a falsely inflated price. Especially when a vast majority of them disingenuously bolt out the door when they sniff the profits & realise the crash is coming! if you don't like it filter button. simples!

I think it's going sub 3 again in next few weeks. Just saying, not deramping but it's back on a downhill spiral!

so what price did you pay for boo? i bought some at 250 last year & flipped at 300

those knowns are not knowns: 1)exchange rate changes daily; 2)£6m on the way-yea right; 3) Stores opening-still no certainty on that!

i hope you didn't pay too much for BOO. Could be some real boohooing there soon!

Ah, Boo & Cine. Now i understand where you get your social graces & etiquette from. The bubble gum boards!

what shares are you invested in fundamentals?. I'm fascinated to know

fundamentals: buy high-sell low: great advice thank you Warren Buffett!

Danl, You are making predictions relating to an unknown future. If any company knew exactly what the post covid world will look like, life & investing etc would be oh so simple. The reason that a fund raise will be required is to prepare the company for the future, factoring in possible further mishaps. The same reasons why countless companies have carried out fund raises in the past year. Anyone thinking the worst is all behind us now is being very optimistic. The date of 12th April for reopening shops is still an 'at best' scenario & is by no means a certainty!

Danl, i do not accept EBITDA as a true measure of a companies worth. It is an accounting measure used to gloss up the books. A better measure is pure profit. Without getting too intricate with the numbers, CFs profits have been falling steadily for the last 5 years or so from £100m+ in 2015/16, down to just over £50m pre covid. The SP has fallen at an even more dramatic rate from a high of @400,down to @100 just before Covid hit. It then plummeted like most shares did hitting a low of 22p. It has hovered generally in the range 35-50 for most of the pandemic. Various highs & lows. There is lots of talk about where the SP may go in the future but there is really no reason why the pre covid trend will not continue, (trend is your friend as the saying goes!). As Scorpion has stated a lot of business has been swallowed up by online competition & there will be the large debt & lease liabilities to deal with. These factors will have not escaped the attention of the bankers/backers & i would expect part of their negotiations would be a restructure of the business moving forward. Sunak's business grants may provide short term relief for sure but will not replace the need for refinancing. It will be interesting where they decide to go here but i suspect a decision will only be announced when new CEO comes in which is 8th March i believe.

yes, your strategy is buy high, sell low, you've already stated so. Good luck with that! i look to buy at a value price. if you get the bottom that's great but i buy when i can see good reward for limited risk. Simples really!

Fundamentals you are obviously stressed & that is why you resort to abuse. Advocating that a £160m mkt cap company should use the equivalent of Wonga.com for their financing shows you do not know what you are talking about. You should jog on before you lose more pocket money lad!

fundamentals. Do you know what a bridging loan is? i am very familiar with this as i have a BTL property portfolio. Bridging loans are horrendous & are not for the faint hearted. They are short term in the most short termist way. A company the size of CF despite it's financial woes does not need this type of funding. A RI or placing is a cost effective way of raising finance. I'm not sure why people are against it. yes the SP takes a hit short term but long term you have a sustainable future!

LoveGolf. If you are prepared to hold this for the long haul & take up your full rights should they opt for a Rights Issue your in vestment will be fine. The problem here is near term they have to refinance to ensure survival post covid. I'm sure the whole merry saga will be done & dusted in a few weeks time
