Each to their own, we've been trading in this range for weeks, and you've just sold at the bottom of it... I would understand if we broke 170p, but we haven't, yet...

Inflation data out, 5.1% followed by Omicron. Geninuely don't think omicron will be an issue in a few weeks but inflation on the other hand...

THG shares are enough risk for me thanks Mando lol.

Ouch, 145p support broken. Not sure where this will end now.

Being taken private normally boosts the SP. But that may still leave plenty of people underwater.

Blackrock panic sold at the bottom.

Anyone heard from that deramper Nuri recently? Last I heard from him he'd bought £80k of Boo for 175p.

How brutal would that be if the entire day's gain was wiped out at 16.49

Blackrock are one of the biggest holders of Evergrande's offshore bonds which are currently trading at 20 cents to the dollar. Its entirely possible they are trimming positions to free up liquidity in the coming Chinese property crash.

Such is life Hosai... I don't see it as positive news, unless you can spin that the sellers are being exhausted.

Oh yes, it was a work related meeting and all of the rules were followed... But they may fail to recall any other parties, I mean work related meetings dates when prompted... Might I add that Allegra did a fine job at COP26 :)

My suspicion is that an email has been sent round saying how well the numbers are, and they had a party because of it. The not so business savy employees got excited and posted about it.

Soon, Blackrock will have sold all their shares and their name will not be mentioned here again.

I've said it before, investment banks will often sell out at a loss to show their customers they don't hold 'loser stocks'. If Blackrock customers think Blackrock hold 'loser stocks' on their behalf, Blackrock will see large outflows of funds, and they will earn lower rates of commission. To be clear, I, and plenty of others, including investment bankers who have done their research, do not think this is a 'loser stock'. But possibly a stock that when it IPO'd, was overvalued. Blackrock clearly do not see a way back to the IPO price anytime soon, so will take the hit just to get it off their books. I tend to agree that we won't see £5 any time soon, but I do believe we can be at £3.50 in a year's time.

This is where us retails can capitalise on low share prices, and to wait until sentiment to change and forecasts to be smashed.

At least Blackrock can now plow the proceeds into overvalued US stocks...

Buy high, sell low.

If your time horizon is 5+ years and you don't mind being subject to high volatility, this is exactly the kind of stock you want to be invested in. If your time horizon is less than 1 year you're better off leaving your cash in a tracker fund.

I might ask Alice if she has any plans for the weekend.

Nothing wrong with staying in a cramped plastic box for a week in windy/rainy Bognor Anacott!

Mando - Give her a right good Moulding ;)

We were trading at all time lows, I was at THG conference and MM delivered insane numbers for Q4 and the SP jumped to 500p. We all went mental celebrating and by the time we stopped we were back to 185p.

Happy Friday!

When the FTSE is down, THG is usually up. Mind you, my US tech have been absolutely wrecked today so it could impact THG too.
