It seems in a sound position, low debt so rate rises not a great concern, offers great value for money so appeals to many when consumer confidence is low. Surprised the SP is this low and not showing much bounce at the moment- any suggestions anyone? It all seems an overreaction to the ceo selling a large stake but I had the chance I’d do the same at his age, got to enjoy it while you can!

Has the positivity from the reading update evaporated? RTN seems especially hard hit today. Anything else happening to RTN?

Ukraine-Russian tensions finally hitting the headlines over partygate. Airline shares doing worse if that helps!

The mix of people you get in spoons is something Tim Martin should be proud of and it means it appeals to a broad section of society. I remember being in Penderel’s Oak in Holborn looking for a table and a baby in a high chair had dropped its bottle, I picked it up to give back to mum and she was Indian. I thought if Indian women, with a baby, think of Spoons as an option for a meal then that is quite a change from the image that many pubs have (rightly or wrongly), all a plus for market share. Penderel’s Oak has a fascinating history too that you can read about in the pub.

Many companies were healthy with good dividends two years ago. The money is still around to invest and will go somewhere, buoying up share prices.

Spoons does have the advantage of suffering no cancellations (as you can’t reserve of course!) and a big freezer to “preserve” a lot of the food, along with having the app before the pandemic - quite a few pluses over the competition.

Many hospitality/domestic travel shares dipped this morning but have now come back to reasonable decreases, even the govt seems wary of imposing further restrictions as the effects are not as strong now we have a vaccine anyway.

Possibly, but we have seen the rises too on good news. I’ll top up if it drops, but I’m not convinced it’ll drop too much so will stay invested. The end game has to be a return to normality next year (my assumption)

Nex holding up well, even the sp has got bored of omicron :-) Dow futures up so making back the drop from yesterday. Complete overreaction after first case confirmed in the US, we’re so globally connected it had to be there anyway.

Same again! Big drop in the us indexes, Nikkei and ftse to follow tomorrow- of we go again on the daily yo-yo.

Ftse up, nex up today. Enjoy before the drop tomorrow but look forward to the rise the day after! Uncertainty in large amounts is very wearing.

Normally last 5mins, not sure it’s good news.

We just need another ceo to big up their vaccine and back up everything goes.

Ftse futures currently sub 7000 so holding 216 out of the question. A bumpy ride ahead.

Ftse and Dow futures showing a small bounce around 0.6% so maybe rationality has returned. Travel restrictions will still have an impact but not the drop that could have occurred. Maybe the positive reports coming out of Africa over the weekend about mild symptoms.

Has any variant been more evasive against the vaccine? Or our herd immunity for that matter. Boris can’t say this of course, all politicians have to play it safe. We just have to wait for the bottom or just after, lose a little upside instead of buying early and dealing with the extra risk.

If it goes sub 200 I’m in for a few more! Uncertainty is the biggest killer for the SP, and this weekend the media is going to supply plenty of it.

I’m resisting any top ups as this could easily dip, along with other transport shares, on covid woes or media hype.

Beware the media in need of a story. Run up to Christmas is perfect for a “covid crisis, is Christmas cancelled?” type of narrative. Remember the run on petrol stations, completely and utterly forgotten in a week.

in the city of London, went into a spoons opposite the Tower of London around 5pm and no tables available- they have over a hundred I think! So we walked into the city more to a larger spoons and we only got a spare table right at the back in a small room that had been opened up! Had pizza and fried chicken plus two alcoholic drinks for £20, no complaints about any of it, and better than many places charging more especially in that area.

The city of London is normally quiet at the weekend so that is very encouraging, people are keen to get out. Office workers are still staying away for now, why commute if you can wfh? but this will slowly change back to normal to a large degree (but not totally).

The west end was heaving in comparison, good atmosphere too plus lots of Christmas lights. Think the future is bright ahead, as opposed to all the doom and gloom of previous months so will hold for sure, may still be some bumps ahead to ride out. All IMHO.
