Excellent news! Just don't pay too much attention to his timelines........especially if it involves an LFT!

"Surely not all down to Labour's promise to build houses galore - we might soon look like Singapore on Thames (but probably without the wealth)"

..........nor the 'houses' with the way Labour are doing!

......Lidl enjoys record £1bn UK sales in run-up to Christmas.

More to the point, m007j, why r u worried about what CARD investors should or should not be worried about. And as for poor Christmas trading......

It's quite clear how the BoD's 'smoke n mirrors' aim of placing all the blame solely on the markets is to deflect any blame from themselves.

Savage, I do wonder whether - when you are eventually lying there on your death bed with 'time' at as much of a premium as the 'air' that is fast running out with your final breaths - whether you will think to yourself, "Well, gee! I really wish I'd wasted an even greater part of my life just posting yet more inane drivel than I did on that CPI page". Seriously, you need to get some perspective on the value of life because that moment may seem a long way off but just remember this post because it will come around far quicker than you currently realise - although I suspect it'll only be at that point that you do actually "realise" that which you have wasted so pointlessly. Just saying, as an observer rather than an investee....

"most in know long sold out". More likely "most in the know" never bought in.

However, yet another example of how our totally immoral markets allow robbing from the poor to give to the rich. Commiserations.

AimMaster2018, no offence and I write as someone who's not invested here at present but I'm looking at your posts whilst thinking this is a clever guy. BUT am I right in thinking you've already been open and honest enough to admit you are shorting this? AND, if so, at what price might you consider re-investing?

A bit unfair, John Henry. natemc's was a decent observation which some might have been missed by some. Isn't that what these boards are for? Consider YOURSELF filtered as a highly likely ramper who "can't handle the truth!". DYOR people.

J.O. "neccesary"....... Seriously? I'm guessing the family wealth didn't stretch to a public school? Anyway, I'm bored now so have a great Christmas & New Year.

I think you might have misread my post, J.O. I only felt it "necessary" to intervene in as much as I was trying to help you understand how those who DO mix in such circles tend to underplay their wealth. It makes them less of a likely target for lesser mortals. Enjoy your "assortment of wines".

People who spend 500 quid for a bottle don't usually feel the need to point the price out. They ordinarily take it as a 'given' that others will know, that is unless it's something out of the ordinary for them - or they are just a pretentious individual.

Did anyone pick-up on the following?

Pre-tax profit increased by 147% to £8.3m. Why shouldn't it leave me wondering why the hell?.......

Reported EPS up 150% to 5.89p

"In the short time since we acquired the Capita businesses, their operational performance has improved markedly with, a number of multi-year million pound contracts secured"

"AdvT made significantly good progress in the six months to 31 August 2024."

Needs sustained cash burn reduction.

Looking at the state of her budget, I'm beginning to wonder if Rachel Reeves is a shareholder here, as well over at H&T, Ramsdens and the like?!

"They all refused to pay back their bonuses"

There was time when integrity and decency counted for something in this godforsaken country of ours. Now, largely thanks to the ineptitude of our two main political parties we are either slaves to the unions or money-grabbing "Executives" such as this. They disgust me.

The other consideration: one in ten people who usually send Christmas cards will not this year, according to a survey, and sales of boxed cards fell by 23 pc at John Lewis in 2024.

As the price of stamps continues to rise and post regularly fails to arrive on time, growing numbers are simply giving up.

In view of the promising outlook for CARD, imo, the only thing I can think of that explains the gradual price drop is the unspoken matter of the impact of budget's NI increase, on top of the min. wage increase (which was dealt with in an RNS). I think the future direction of the SP will be determined by the January trading update, possibly with some leveling-out ahead of that. Just my opinion.

"HHH81 - day off today ;-) - booked especially to witness these results! "

Unbelievable! Somebody agreed to employ you?

Here's an idea for Keyboard.......Just bin him (as I did yonks ago).
