Really great news to hear they are busy. That is what I wanted to hear.

Speculation on more work Tesco's as panic buying I presume. I am not sure if the buying will continue. There will come a point where people more try and save money on food and realise it's still available.

In terms for demand in other goods. It's difficult to know without any update from Eddie stobart themselves and information so far has not dropped.
Unless someone actually knows something

This scenario by the way is apparently extremely unlikely. Perhaps no point in asking the question.

It gives me great confidence to see these director buys:-)

General question... has anyone contemplated what would happen if all UK markets were ordered to be suspended. What would happen to those who were in cash at that exact point... Trying to wait for big buy in when markets started to recover.

Would they be locked out the first bit of the recovery because the were not in at time of suspension?

The company has basically said they are completely unaffected by the virus and if by some chance they are in the future they are in a position of decent liquidity. No brainier.

Fair play Andrew Duff for buying a load

Can't blame some for taking a profit today. some desperate for a bit of gain.

The virus has had no affect on this share. Allow for bit of future operational uncertainty - this share is 50% discounted at least .

Too much doom and gloom priced in. Way too much. These measures are all temporary. Governments will take action to recover the markets. Lots of action. One day it will be boom time.

Elementis is a clear indicator that many companies are not being hit as much as you would think.

Whilst the circumstances of why shares are cheap is pretty aweful. It presents a great opportunity to pick up shares on the cheap.

I think this could push up to 80 or 90 pence you know. Very little has changed and plenty of cash to see it through

Because that was still the position a few weeks ago when it was over a quid. Nothing has changed don't you see

Question ... Is some of this rise because it could qualify for government loans in the event coronovirus affected it. It's difficult to tell as many people say coronovirus is helping it in the form of higher demand for goods it delivera

Investors are speculating it will get massive interest free loans from governments which will essentially keep it a going concern

Yuk Marmite!

The UK is still moving which should put EDSL at an advantage against its competitors in Europe in terms of non panic buying goods. Goods being panic bought will need carriers which may have presented new opportunities. I am speculating, emphasis on speculating that EDSL will come out of this very well, maybe even will benefit. Obviously I paid a higher price for EDSL shares but value is not known until sold.

On a side note, I can't believe how cheap everything is. Even if there are some further falls in the market, taking some very long term positions now would have amazing upside. GASP

I have counted 68 jobs being advertised on the Eddie Stobart website. Mostly drivers.

With descriptions like...
Due to an exciting new contract win, we are looking to recruit an experienced, innovative Distribution Centre Manager into a new site based in Hawke Way, Lutterworth.

Doesn't sound like a company scaling down

Will there be more demand for lorries to take goods into and out of Europe if planes can't do it?

I think in probability this will be taken over also the MCAP is silly, which I think is a shame because actually I rather it was not as the potential long term is potentially amazing

The MCAP is approaching its annual operating profit figure pre-suspension with no news. Wow what is going on.

Interest rate cuts should be good news.

How many people will actually get severe lung damage? Fantastic breakthrough and great news for those most at risk, but remember this is mild to moderate illness for most people and therefore I would skeptical that this is a money spinner for this company equivalent to the additional MCAP added today. How much can they sell this for and what is the margin? that would be my question I suppose.

Anyone have any idea?

Well I'm sure some short term holders have placed a few trades on oil companies. Works well on a quick trade but warnings are quite specific on further falls to below30 dollars per bl.

Can always buy more if the SP falls.
