Don't say you weren't warned......................... You don't get in that big and retract so quickly out of an investment, most are done over time to extract value like Mr Buffett does The red flags are all over this like a cheap suit, beware !

I think I can safely say, you now owe me pint !

I get a feeling one of the funds had had to dip in their pocket and cover their position once more...

They won't be getting taken over any time soon, god knows how many times Ive had to post this......

If anyone now knows the potential of Ocado's OSP its Kroger, what we don't currently know is what else is there in development, the next generation CFC will already be on the cards no doubt

Thanks for the acknowledgment, as I'd said last year to a few nervous posters patience is the key although I believe they'd bailed out to early unfortunately, its a nervous share to hold which you've mentioned and the swings can be staggering, ecstasy to depression and back again !! Only today we've seen the House of Fraser in trouble with a raft of store closures announced only confirming the sea change within retail, food and non food ! Ocado are unique, there's nothing else like it and I hope to see many more deals announced this year and next. I believe the catalyst for the recent movement was Amazons purchase of Whole Foods which was a game changer globally. Ocado's automated supermarket or OSP if you like will gradually replace the bricks and mortar stores which won't happen overnight but it will happen. With regards to Hool, his argument always revolved around the fundamentals and the crazy valuation of the company whereas the shorts just didn't understand Ocado and what they were trying to achieve which is now there for all to see.

Excellent podcast, if you�re not excited after hearing that you may as well sell up and leave

I had a substantial holding here once, which I'd gradually sold off for a car and property ventures In for the long haul with whats left..................

SP doing well this morning, there were some big buys after hours last night, not really much change in the shorts either so is something else brewing ?

5 yrs old now but a quote from the chief boffin:- Ocado's technology director Paul Clarke said his firm saw significant potential in 3D printing for the grocery business and custom foods. "The commercialisation is very interesting for us," he said. "The ability for us to use 3D printing when it comes to food, to be able to deliver that sort of personalisation is of interest to us. We're uniquely equipped to be able to do it in a way that many retailers wouldn't be." The technology is already there, you can print your pizza's and put them staright in the oven, maybe you could print your pizza in the oven and cook it, who knows? https://www.techrepublic.com/article/heres-how-3d-food-printers-are-changing-the-way-we-cook/

See the latest RNS !

There will be news on the way, you can bet on it Gioviano

Do I dare say, there appears to be some confidence appearing here again after a dismal run.......

No chance of a buyout as Tim Steiner was against it plus Kroger now own nearly 6% of the company so would influence any decisions made. The only real candidate is Amazon so how would that go down with Kroger and the other grocers who have recently jumped aboard precisely because of an emerging Amazon into grocery, they want to get one step ahead of the game not watch Amazon buyout Ocado and run their operations for them, poacher turned gamekeeper? If an approach was made today I would guesstimate a doubling of the SP, some shorts still hanging on like a bad smell, bulk of the shares are tightly controlled by a small number of large investors, there's unlimited expansion possibilities globally I believe, automated supermarkets replacing your traditional shops. I look round now and you can see the OSP will be dominant in years to come because there really is nothing else in comparison at this time. I'm talking end to end, last mile solution, supplier to cupboard, freezer, beer fridge! I did post elsewhere today that we will all be printing our food in future on 3D printers, something that is already happening, maybe we should invest in 3D printers today? (I think I saw something similar on Star Trek once) !

The biggest market would be China, there's also Australia and Germany to go at, first mover advantage gets you exclusivity to the OSP, something to take note of you grocers out there ! I believe there are plenty of deals to be done yet. As more CFC's are built, more traditional supermarkets will close and a gradual transition will take place, Ocado are in prime position to take advantage of the change is this sector. I saw it 5 years ago and nothing has changed my mind since....

A down day for the crew today Gioviano at Ocado, remember big swings up and down........ I see my recent tip was up nearly 10% today ;o), nothing compared to whats coming.

There will be more deals on the way, its only a matter of time, Germany, Australia, even China some of the biggest markets to aim for

Could you just elaborate on the environmental point you made, not sure in what context this refers?

Gioviano55020 - A little more research methinks......................

Down we go again.......................
