Really glad all the emails sent to the management told everyone exactly what was going on whilst they sat on their empire ready to pounce and grab 1million shares....

Inevitable and only outcome.

The nonsense on here was precisely that. Hope not too many people were fooled or tricked.

The company had been struggling badly for 2 years, this board was a sleepy hollow until the ambulance chasing started on 9th September which is always a warning sign for anyone.

Sad news for all the hostmore employees today.

Because email the company as PI is a certain way for someone to communicate with you in the uncertain times that are ahead for this business.

Absolute bile that.

Anyone in the company will be frantically filling out their CV and applying for new roles rather than stroke the ego of some ambulance chasers thinking its a get rich quick scheme for the needy.

Unreal.

Bidding war for what? The best sites? Trafford centre, metrocentre, leicester square (with its mad rent) and bluewater? After that its a mishmash of indifference coupled with big rents to massive corporate bodies.

Still cannot see how a dying brand with poor LFL sales, no bricks and mortar sites, a pretty average following of consumers in a pretty harsh environment is going to be in any kind of bidding war with anyone.

The company has been on a steady decline since Q2 22, statistically any bids will be vultures looking at a twitching corpse for scraps.

People need to wake and realise this is a no value entity. No nostalgia is going to fix this, its a business which is failing hence its now 17pence a share.

Dyor.

The blind optimism strikes again.

The leasing and term will dictate what offers are needed to make this viable to major creditors who will of course put their own endeavours first.

How any of that washes into a good news piece for a PI seems like nothing more than a fantasy.

Youve quoted the RNS which in the past 8 days has seen a few developments on how the sale and bid process is maturing. Doesnt read like its a big catch.

Correct.

LFL is down

The summer trading was a disappointment

Many of the 87 stores are in woeful condition needing sizeable investment to modernise and improve (which with cash deficit is unlikely).

Its only salvation would be a prepack administration with CVAs. Still cannot see how in the short term that makes this a majorly viable prospect. Any offers are to be made by the end of the month, can imagine only the viable stores would be salvaged with the poor performers jettisoned.

Alot of people will be hit financially on this including former NEDs, CFO etc. Just be careful you dont join the list of victims!

Long term lurker.

The blind optimism here is so deluded im struggling to see how anyone can rightly see a pathway to success on this.

LFL dreadful, no bricks ane mortar and waning confidence in the brand....

Yeah sounds like 1.5million when an RNS is saying they are delisting.

Complete head wobble on here all this.

A sleepy share since it was listed and now its crashed all these experts turn up to sprinkle their wisdom on a dead dog.

Frightening.

Correct.

The business is dead and any bids will reflect this.

All this pumping yesterday and then it collapsed.

Best read the RNS details as to where this is heading.

No bricks and mortar sites so only LFL trading which is regressing.

Wheres the value?

Looks like doors will close shortly, CVA for better performing sites from a newco and thats it.

Doc83 - I appreciate the views.

We all know GDR is a separate world but the issue to flag was a 'huge' RNS for them but crucially 'no order' so hence it fell flat on its face. I always find AIM can be a true lottery on senitment, with alot of ambulance chasing.

In respect of this its good to see the confidence on the board and measure it. I admire the billions remarks, truly, just not sure it will all happen overnight. The upside here is big so again good to harness that and if you all feel my 260-300p is low then great, more the better!

We have been awaiting the early '22 news eagerly.

I am curious as to levels of confidence across the investors here?
do you feel this will bag or just be a soft % raise on positive news?

I appreciate alot will depend on any content of the RNS that is pending, however to me its interesting to see and hear sentiment.

I was here in July 20 and it was remarkable, I am not sure that is a distinct possibility % wise at 523% but id welcome views on where this may head, as you see it.

To start things I think there is a chance of breaching the all time high of 266p (approx) with positive news and possibly stretching to late 200s. Id imagine alot of the long termers and those who bought on the crash down to 95-120p will be quick to disappear leaving 'new' money to come in and join the party, which may take 3-6months to further mature over 300 (all in my opinion).

I guess no one wants to talk about this, but given the huge fail of GDR when it pushed up massively and has now bunked down, is that a possibility here? (appreciate its a different offer/ business) but AIM is very fickle!

I would say today is typical post fridays rally. Boost up to beyond 200p and a bit of slicing off due to the 'no RNS' status this morning.

To me a quick stop loss raid is also inevitable too, easy way to hoover up the line of visible targets that PI's will let their holding go at which can then be easy cannon fodder for the MM's to take advantage of.

The value erosion here has been fairly brisk, however given there was a ripple before xmas I think it was evident a bit of tailoring needed on exposure.

For me now this represents a good buy, not sure if this will breach the 52wk low but id expect a recovery here now after market tension yday.

Purely my views not advice!

Manic monday, yes. 523% it hit. Ill happily take that again.

Its hopefully going to land soon, small rise back up to 200s please then....lift off

Its a shambles and highly frustrating I agree. However the market sentiment is driving a huge element of this. At the end of November, the media frenzy over omnicron and associated messaging saw a peak on here of 498p (approx). There was giddy tones talking up £6-8 which was based on absolutely zero actually physical market value - no contracts no nothing.

We got a tweet or two off the company and that was it.

In 6 weeks from there 'omnicron' is over (is it?) and the sentiment moves with the market picking up on holiday companies and their aspirations for the best summer ever. I think we heard all that garbage last year, but reality was that the 'summer' didnt really happen. Anyway, on testing, its hear to stay for the vast majority of this year.

The outcry for testing at the end of 3Q '21 with omnicron just showed that. As we march through Q1 22 the vital market trading update will allow an informative to be drawn on the business and its standings.

Is this being dragged in the gutter, yes, are other covid stocks doing the same, yes it would seem so.

I see alot of resentment towards the board which I get, but before doing 2+2 and getting 5 is worthwhile understanding that the comms update in the fall of '20 when this picked up 3/4/5/6/7% a day wasnt daily but no one was greeting.

Theres a huge amount of rotten posting on here and if you read all that and feel sad then just sell up and move on.

The prospects here will be announced in two weeks, so either hang on, 'enjoy' or say 'ta ta'.

It may be savage but this is AIM and the risk is high here, the shorters are winning and to be fair all the rubbish on here about the board should do this/ that and the other, clearly isnt doing anything. Its noise.

DA will update at end of the month. Strap up and buckle on.

Simple for me

Stay and put up with shorting and poor perf and see what the update is for Jan.

Go and pick an exit point or loss/ small gain you are happy/ willing to write off

Hold long term. Ignore the current issue, see DHSC to a resolve and see where DA goes.

You pick.

End of this month update will confirm ncyts standing and id expect itll trade around 380-420p at that stage.

Dont expect any future fireworks as whilst covid is here for long term until DHSC is resolved this will just be a slow lingering shorters paradise as it has been since April.
