Terminal, if its on U.K. high st its fxcked. Their online is not good enough and the competition is horrific. Will go same way as Clintons.

Debt is what is holding it back. Its a giant financial black hole with a very uncertain future, lets think, invest my money in Amazon Goog or Nvidia with USD protection or buy shxtty RR denominated in terminal sterling listed on the dog index of the world. This will end up part nationalised as in the past.

This is terminal even by dog index of the world U.K. standards, when it was a dividend stock and 2 quid plus a share it and the UK were avery different animals. It was not in great shape anyway and brexit ( if you look at the charts ) was the beginning of the end for it ( and a lot of other things ) This is now in debt, poorly managed and with a declining business model. It will go to about .18p and likely be taken private by someone will will take on the debt. A load of rented offices and some idiots driving around London in Foxtons minis probably not the future. You’d be better off buying BTC than this shxt. Christ I remember owning this at 220 OMFG.

Unloaded all my Vod shares at 1.39 and changed into USD and invested in Google the other day at under 2800. Goog in 18 months probably 25/30 pc higher after share split, if a bid or breakup doesn’t materialise for Vod it’s back to 1.10. Vod and BT carried high debt becos historically they had better profits, they have had their profits “ regulated away “ from them especially in the U.K. Vod deals always seem to be capital destructive and the management is pretty poor, obvious now the only thing holding the share price up was the dividend, when that was cut the share price cratered, and it has little to no growth. The problem with this U.K. dividend dross is the epic levels of debt, rising rates are going to ratchet up costs and in BT’s case they are basically a giant pension deficit with telecom attached. Owning this stuff is terrifying, there is a real chance with it that it ends up with suitors walking away, riddled with debt, capital raises, dividend cuts and a sub quid price tag. The ftse 100 now only 600 points above where it was 21 years ago, it’s pretty dire, why? Becos its full of stuff like Vod, Lloyds, BT, and “ other assorted dividend or ex dividend rubbish “ as Terry Smith describes it.

The UK’s one listed tech company that looked like it may have a future, and yet again a ftse waste of time, zero real growth zero profit. Ftse 100 only 600 points above where it was 21 years ago. Pathetic capital destructive rubbish. This will need a capital raise, sub 8.20 afterwards.

The epitome of a falling knife, likely another capital raise coming and this is going to sub 11 quid, good for shorting but has had its day as a “ growth “ stock. Ftse index 500 points above where it was 21 years ago and sterling from 2.05 to 1.34 usd in 14 years, terminal decline of an index and country, nicely helped on the way with suicidal brexit, enjoy.

Sterling and banks down on a 2nd interest rate rise, sterling behaving like an emerging market currency, bizarre, thank Brexit. Dumped my HL holding at 1580 and wont get back in, every time it pops anywhere near 1600 the two fossil owners are dumping huge volumes of shares, it’s killing it, nobody will touch it now, PHNX has the same problem with institutions unloading every time it’s over anywhere near 6.00. HL’s best days long gone, Woodford fatally holed this business, probably rightfully so the way they punted his utter rubbish.

This failed acquisition, Jopes general hopelessness even by dog index of the world standard ftse 100, should put Ulvr in play as a takeover target. Plz come back Warren, shareholders will pull his hand off at 45 quid a share, this is a company in terminal decline, its a break up/acquisition job and this debacle and weak sterling ( thank brexit fiasco ) makes it a cheapish buy for foreign money. Watch this space.

Yes of course brexit a stunning success, ftse 100 where it was 21 years ago, sterling on its way to parity with euro and usd, labour shortages wrecking already worse than hopeless productivity levels. You don’t walk away from the largest trading block in the world that you helped build for 40 years, with absolutely NOTHING to replace it with. ( what happened to US trade deal haha ) The U.K. is a nanny/police state, a covid fiasco, europe a damn sight more free than U.K. which has had lockdown after lockdown, many more that europe. Any axxhole who still thinks brexit was a good idea as they now enjoy falling living standards, parabolic inflation and taxes and having wheezing fat bunter in charge is even thicker than I thought. That’s the trouble when you let the great unwashed vote on anything important.

Sharecast News) - Analysts at UBS reiterated their 'sell' recommendation on shares of Unilever, expressing to clients their concern over the "quality" of the company's margins in the back half of the year, which they said implied a "substantial" reduction in its marketing spend.
First, UBS noted that the company's announcement of a near 100 basis point decline in gross margins year-to-date implied a roughly 150-200bp drop for the third quarter despite a quarter-on-quarter increase in pricing from 1.3% over the first six months of the year to 4.1% over the three months to September.

Furthermore, the consumer goods giant had also reiterated its guidance for full-year 2021 operating margins to be "around flat" year-on-year thanks to multiple factors.

Those included revenue growth management initiatives, savings from efficiencies, some benefit from the unwinding of the Covid-19 on costs and mix and from adjusting Brand and Marketing investments.

But the analysts were now concerned that Unilever might lose some market share after several large fast-moving consumer goods rivals, such P&G, Loreal or Nestle, had flagged their intention to ramp-up marketing spend.

"We worry that Unilever's decision could soon translate into some deterioration in market share development and/ or does simply evidence a less marketing intensive portfolio with limited scope for premiumisation relative to peers."

UBS kept its target price for Unilever at 3,700.0p.

Says it all, altho buying crxp like l and g and Aviva for a dividend but zero capital growth is “ U.K. pensioner “ suicide investing. Ftse 100 is a dog index priced in a terminal currency. Buy growth, Nvidia, google, affirm etc and swerve brexit covid basket case U.K.

Just forget investing in the U.K. stick to amazon Nvidia alphabet and FB type stuff, ftse 100 where it was dec 1999, sterling down 11 years in a row against every major currency, as for anything on the Aim, it’s a graveyard. It’s not just brexit and nightmare politics, covid fiasco, wheezing fat boris bunter taking the country down the toilet, nobody buys U.K. shares anymore, there are net outflows all the time not inflows, its terminal. I wonder if boohoo gets taken private again tbh.

This year is a write off for both boohoo and asos, combination of factors juiced by exodus from lockdown stocks, i dont really understand the wailing and gnashing of teeth, I have seen this at least 4 times before with asos which has been around longer, check the charts, each time they went sub 24 I loaded up and doubled my money or better over the next two years, the same will happen with boohoo, you just let it play out, i think this will be back to over 4 quid and asos back to 5800….shein isn’t a problem it’s just another competitor in the space, so what. You make real money by buying shares when they are cheap. It doesn’t help they are listed in the U.K. whos indexes since brexit are the most hated in the world, the whole political basket case issue, cretin Johnson, covid fiasco, weak sterling, it writes itself, so the capital flows are poor. A change of government or leader may help.

Jesus the market up almost 100 points and this terminal steaming pile of sxxt still negative. Doing worse under the welsh windbag ceo that it did under the utterly useless Andy Briggs. Avoid UK stocks, stick to S&P and Nasdaq.

...yeah but not crxp like this for Warren after his tesco fiasco. Just avoid UK stocks in general. Utter dross. HL are forever tarnished ( quite rightly ) with woodford mess and the overhang from the fossil owners dumping shares at anything over 15.50 all the time says it all. 10.80 target price, its another ftse dog.

If this was listed in the US would be 2.5 times the price, U.K. listing a killer, U.K. investors have been decimated since 2008, terrible self harming politics ( endless fxxking referendums ) trashed currency, brexit madness ( leave the largest trading block in the world with NOTHING to replace it with ) Until you have a decent opposition and a change away from the present madness I cant see anything listed in U.K. doing any good. If you had just bought an s S&P or Nasdaq tracker over last few years you would have doubled or better your money and had USD protection. I just cant see any good news for U.K., parabolic taxes and inflation, a currency endlessly in decline, fat wheezing Johnson running the country into the ground, asos problems are not just supply problems I’m afraid.

AJ Bell is big news, this is a gonna, i wouldnt trade it, their whole crappy business model has rested on v high fees, that looks like its over. Gone through every support like a missile. Have owned big chunks of these for trading, glad im not bagholding. When i saw the owners endlessly dumping every time it got around 16 seemed a pretty clear signal. Another ftse 100 winner, back where it was 6 years ago. Lindsell T serious bagholding on loads of crap like this and ulvr.

Same price as Feb, what a steaming pile of sxxt. No growth and its lost more than half its value in 11 years so good luck chasing dividend ( pensioner stocks ) cxxp like this on the worst index in the world ( brexit/U.K. political basket case/trashed currency ) this doing much worse under Welsh windbag Blanc that the fairly useless Andy Briggs.

This has had lower highs and lower lows for almost 5 years, it is re rating to a lower range ( like pretty much everything listed on the most dire indexes in the world U.K. ) it has no growth, dividend only stocks have become highly risky and capital destructive, ftse 100 full of it and the index is barely above the level it was in 1999 ffs. I’have sold my position in this and it’s down 30 points since I sold it, hadn’t realised how far it had fallen, one to avoid.

What a steaming pile of sxxt aviva are. They actually managed to hold above a fiver for a while under the useless Andy Griggs, since new ceo has been in place the share price performance worse than ever. Stick to buying US growth, this dividend rubbish on the worst index in the world ( ftse 100 at Dec 1999 levels ) is capital destructive dross. This company has halved in value in 11 years and cant even hold above 4 quid. Glad to have bailed out with a profit. You’d be better off buying btc than this sxxt.

Usual terrible price action. What a depressing UK stock market. Nobody buys UK stocks anymore unless its a company take out by a ( usually US ) foreign buyer. Two of my brokers have said the same thing, even Brits dont want U.K. stocks, its seen as a political basket case, brexit fiasco will roll on for ten years, the place is a disaster, index only 500 points above where it was Dec 1999. Pitiful. By investing in US stocks you also then have the protection of being in the US dollar as well….sterling…really….UK productivity trails even France by 12 pc, all they can do is keep devaluing sterling to try to remain competitive, I just cant see how the UK indexes ever recover. Parabolic inflation and mad high taxes, there really cant be much hope for the UK especially under fat wheezing Boris Bunter. Time to move on with investments, probably better off buying BTC and Ether tbh.
