Cloudtag... another AIM market dream that screwed shareholders over to support the owners lifestyle.

Must be getting cynical in my old age but the whole story of Faron just smacks of every other AIM market dream that turns into cesspit of dodgy deals and corrupt financial mismanagement. As always I can dream of one day having some success with a AIM share. Have to belive this will be the one but fairly confident it won’t be.

Agree but with AIM the patient are usually screwed over by lazy, greedy incompetent BOD's

Up or down after the trading update?? anyone care to hazard a guess? im going for down :(

Georgie Boy trying his best to justify his xmas bonus again.

I don't think clogau is nuggety. It is described as minute particles.

Yosemite George needing his christmas bonus.... AGAIN

Yosemite George want his Xmas bonus paid. His Xmas shindig for his city mates must be being planned.

So basically employers will longer take a gamble on employing millennials, gen z folk or anyone who claims to have a uterus?

But that is how alba operate with its shareholders. always offering unjustified hopes

I don't want a single teen mom with zero qualifications and a p**n star son taking my money and spaffing it up the wall again. Labour have already costs m2 and my wife 4K extra this year alone. In the short space of time they have been in power the markets have dropped. My company has been in a very strong position even before/during/after covid and now everything has ground to a halt in our industry. In 2007 i was very nearly made redundant from my company that has been trading successfully since the 70's. I will never forgive Labour as they are a bunch on whinging half whits with zero experience of even running a bath.

I wouldn't mind if labor were Overgrown polytechnic students but they are council house, zero graders and sons of garden shed tool makers.

If Labour are running the show then the profits will go to the HIGHEST bidder.

My point is that repeat customers generate more income than those on a single visit. Regarding paper prices the pulp prices are still historically very high. My A4 printing costs are still around £13 - £15 per box (used to be £8 - £10) even when buying pallets of 40 boxes. Container prices from the far east have been astronomical upwards of £5000 per container. I'm a manufacturer and we are currently adding a £4 surcharge for each product we ship as the raw material comes from Korea to combat the freight surcharges and we are not adding any markup to those costs.

Selling 10 greetings cards for £1 is such a daft idea. A granny makes 1 visit to a card factory store for the year and spends £1 for all her grandkids birthday card rather than making 10 trips to buy 10 cards for 80p or £1 each. I don't get the logik especially when paper prices are still sky high.

Someone is confident

Will people be selling the news or hang on??

Card factory don’t need an online presence though unless they diversify. They are successful because they have stores where people need them and have products at a price point that is correct. Other only thing I don’t like is the 10 for £1 deals. Nobody makes money selling anything that cheap. It doesn’t need to use the offer as a loss leader either. The card range is well stocked and at affordable prices so 10 for 1 to me just seems like a silly offer

Can they still afford chocky hobnobs? these days probably Home Bargains rich tea are only option.

There ain’t no rich pickings. Only a few minute scraps
