If Directors were buying in the high 250s & 300s as you say...I'd hope that's a good omen that they believe in the future of the company and didn't foresee the issues with shipping and Covid etc.. and expected the share price to keep growing.

What they do need to do is improve the rate of returns if possible (possibly by improving quality of material?). Hopefully when the factory opens up in the U.S. that will improve profits and delivery times.

I also saw that Zara was starting to charge for returns.

Am gutted lol....sold out at 28p the other day as I was getting to close to my average at 26. Held out as long as I could. And now this is flying again. That's stocks and shares for you...was a pretty big holding too. I guess everyone would do this if it was easy.
Good luck to those still in...

I think people are panic selling now with no good reason. Nothing has changed with the fundamentals, progress, debt, cash-flow..etc...

Hopefully this settles down soon.

Things will improve. This is a solid company which is winning contracts all the time and is becoming the preferred company in other parts of the world due to its reliability, comfort and affordability. The U.S. is opening back up.... people need to travel....money is scare for so many people and using buses will be the only affordable option in so many parts of the world. Give it 24 months and this will be back to all-time highs...... imho.

I agree... not looking too good at the moment but I would still continue to buy on the dips as in a few months things will open up and this will go up again. We've already seen how it can easily reach the high 40s, so once 'freedom day' eventually arrives this will start to move. No doubt. Many positives with this company....just needs to be allowed to be opened up completely.
On a separate note...I wonder how their online games are doing? Virtual reality also to come?
Hate seeing this drop after a steady climb but it is only short-term.

Wow! 12 years...I only entered this share about 8 months ago....hopefully your patience pays off as demand now hopefully increases globally. I have no idea what the share price could realistically reach but a friend of mine who invests in this type of market seemed to think the JLP had a lot of upside potential moving forward, even though it has been around for years.

We'll see where this goes.... 20p onwards and upwards...

I just bought a significant amount more and averaged up to about 23p in the end. I was waiting and waiting for a pullback... but it went from 25 to 35 and now heading to 45... there may be a slight retrace in the coming days or it may retrace when it's significantly higher from the current price.... Wish i had a magic ball lol!

I have a friend who works in investments and he said one of his colleagues had chosen this company to add to one of their funds recently which gives me reassurance as well. There is definitely momentum with this at the moment.

Hope you're right! Aside from the UK expansion, it will be interesting to see if they manage to make headway with the US franchise expansion...that really could sent the share price way above 1.50GBP in the next two to three years (fingers crossed!)

Some big sells at the end of the day today. I wasn't expecting it to jump so much recently as I was looking to buy more at around 30-33p. Now I have to decide whether to buy more now or wait for a pull back.....if there is one. The charts suggest there may be but they suggested that recently and it didn't really happen.

Why do we think this is suddenly jumping? Due to lockdown slowly coming to end ??

The rise has only just begun ...in theory..... so, it's not too late and really is still at the beginning. The question is...what could this realistically reach in a year or two? £1 or £2 even?? I have a small amount invested and will probably invest more even though I have watched the share price rise recently too. But...if we really think this could reach at least £1 then it's clearly still a good time to buy in. Everything on paper looks good for this company. It is slightly overbought at the the moment according to the 14 day RSI, so perhaps wait for the pullback and get it a couple of pence cheaper. Good luck.

I do agree with you JW has a vested interest with a significant 3% stake in this company and clearly does his best to promote the share, however, his arguments for the growth of this company are fairly compelling. Yes, there are many other sites on the markets but not all of them has done business with the BBC, Netflix etc... they are also expanding at a respectable rate with each site leading to the reduction of build costs and have also moved quickly with moving into the online arena. Their feedback on TripAdvisor is also a clear insight into what the general public feel about the company and the experience they had with over a thousand reviews giving it 5 out of 5. I have a small holding in this company and do believe in the future growth of this company now that their previous financial woes are behind them (fingers crossed). I'm not sure what this share price could realistically reach from the market cap they'd be able to capitalize on as I'm not experienced enough but I do believe there is significant short-term growth to be had...and then a future dissection of their progress will need to be re-visited. Anyway...that's my humble, novice opinion. Live long and prosper! \w/

I think a bit of FOMO might be happening. Otherwise, there's no proper explanation

Why has this sudden tear upwards, happened in the last few days? What has changed???

Congrats! I think it will pay off. Now, just leave it be ;-)

I agree completely, if you hold onto this for a year or two, you will definitely see profit. Just look at the the historical levels the share priced reached before their financing went a bit pear-shaped. Things now seem to be in much better order and I believe this company will make take full advantage with this second opportunity.... the proof is already in the pudding with the actions they are already taking and are planning to take in the future.

I wouldn't say you've missed the boat....I'd say this is just the beginning. If you truly believe in the company you will expect this to reach at least £1. Financials are in a really good place and it is still generating money in lockdown and securing new sites for a cheaper price in the meantime for when the world eventually opens back-up and ironically people will be paying to be locked up in a room for a couple of hours ;-)
