Glad to be of service letting the trolls know there's a bit wide world out there!!

Barbados in 11 weeks of so.... Then antigua 10 weeks later.... Then mexico 3 weeks after that....

Oh but it's a boring part of the world i hear the trolls say.....

Wait until the full on recovery is in.... It will be trolls anonymous needing therapy....

Ld - do I see anything negative?

It comes down to what you believe..

I literally don't care what anyone else here thinks, its my money I've invested.... I believe the recovery will be massive.

Sorry for being positive mate, do you want me to mope around depressed like half of society?

Im still out living my life, im doing all the holidays and all the travelling i want, most of these trolls here have been battered elsewhere and don't have a pot to take a plss in.... Thats a where the anger comes from!!

All these high street brands are more casualties of the dying high street than anything else....

The strongest are surviving and the weak are either dying of or shrinking or dead....

The whole cycle is heading back to online which will see more high street casualties...

It's been a tough few years for the online only players but that's about to flip imo.... In a big way.

"Next warns of toughest trading since financial crisis and cuts sales forecast"

"The boss of Next has sent shockwaves though the high street, wiping more than £3bn off the market value of the country’s biggest clothing retailers after he predicted the toughest trading conditions since the financial crisis"

"But analysts said Next, which had a disappointing Christmas sales period, could not hide behind the economy as behind the scenes it is grappling with the waning star of its directory catalogue business which delivered 50% of its £821.3m pre-tax profits in the year to January."

The retailer raises its guidance after a better-than-expected financial performance in the first half of the year."

"Next has provided some rare cheer for high street retailers by raising its profit expectations following a better-than-expected leap in full-price sales."

" Shares rose sharply after the fashion chain reported a 4.3% increase in the half-year to 27 July, though the performance continued to be driven online as store sales declined."

"The Guardian revealed on Wednesday how the retailer’s temporary warehouse workers are subjected to an extraordinary regime of searches and surveillance. Undercover reporters also came up with evidence that thousands of workers were receiving effective hourly rates of pay below the minimum wage."

Then a few years later.....(the British media really are an embarrassing mess with short memories)

Boohoo ringing the changes.... To reap the rewards....

Any of the below sound familiar....???

Management predicting more severe downside and the "numbers man" walking as par of a management shake up...

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/business/nils-pratley-on-finance/2024/feb/22/the-rolls-royce-miracle-is-stunning-but-it-didnt-happen-overnight

Management was modelling a “severe but plausible downside scenario” in which things could get even worse. The finance director skipped off to Ocado, which, at the time, had a stock market value three times that of Rolls. An emergency rights issue to raise £2bn at the miserable price of 32p a share was eventually launched that autumn, with the government playing a supporting role as guarantor of £3bn of the company’s debt.

To say the skies have cleared would be to grossly understate matters. Thursday’s full-year numbers for 2023 showed record cashflow of £1.3bn and a surge in underlying profit of almost £1bn to £1.6bn. Almost unbelievably, the share price, up another 8% to 357p even after the 220% gain in 2023, is now heading towards an all-time high when adjusted for the dilutive effect of the rights issue. Rolls is worth £30bn and is a top-20 FTSE 100 company again. (Ocado’s shares, incidentally, have nose-dived since 2021: terrible timing by one Stephen Daintith).

Rolls-Royce shakes up leadership team

Rolls-Royce has unveiled a shake-up of its leadership team after launching a strategic review into the company in a bid to become more profitable.

Hey dateroll....

Have a listen to that.... Before the internet and trolling.... Remember a time when people probably liked you.

Interesting read for those who think companies can just be nicked off shareholders....

https://news.sky.com/story/from-rags-to-riches-the-story-of-uk-logistics-companys-943m-sale-12548238#:~:text=The%20proposed%20%C2%A3943m%20sale,in%20the%20UK%20stock%20market.

Having pledged to take Clipper's stock market valuation to £1bn, Mr Parkin is known to have become frustrated with life as a quoted company in recent years, in particular adhering to all the corporate governance rules.

In November 2019, Sky News revealed he had teamed up with Sun Capital, the US private equity firm, to take the company private, with a price tag of £300m mentioned.

Those talks ended in early January when it became clear that it had not been possible to reach a deal on terms satisfactory to Clipper's other shareholders. The wisdom of those investors has now been borne out: GXO looks set to pay more than three times that sum.

It would seem I have a nerve as well as the nail on the head.

Imagine all of this yet you still apparently own shares.... the 3 amigos or is it now 4 amigo....

This company has mentally destroying you and is ruining your life...

On here under multiple names 18 to 20 hours a day, replying to yourself from different accounts, searching for news stories every minute of the day...

It goes beyond being an Internet troll into the bounds of mental illness, like a second identity - imagine if your mrs knew about it.

The only time you go a bit quieter is during the school holidays when your mrs is off work - there's a clear pattern.

Your early posting history was quite normal to be fair but the crash in the markets, especially glen seems to have broken you, when glen crashed you were blaming everything and anything except yourself - you were especially angry at the company and management.

I have said this before and Ill say it again - I believe you bought loads of boohoo right at the peak of the rise and you have lost a load of dosh in boohoo, same here as in glen you don't have the minerals to average down so you just sla&g the company off.

Not a single poster here believes your 41p fun punt story. (none that are sane anyway)

The problem is, there is more to come when this recovers - the reality of me and others here making big money is going to further destroy you.

All I'd say is - stay away from those cliff edges when this recovers and hits all time highs as the edge might start to look very inviting.

Seems to have turned around far faster than management forecast....

Imagine the possibilities when boohoo swings back to profit..... 🚀🚀🚀

All time highs possible....

For the uninvested pheasants..... Drop the h...

Rolex Day-Date Anniversary With Green Dial

What we love about the watch:

What makes this Day-Date so special? The Rolex Day-Date with green dial is a classic watch with a design that says “look at me” without being over-designed. Since the model is only made in high-end materials 18k everose gold, you always wear a status symbol that says “I can afford a luxury watch, I have taste and I am successful”.

RE: Umar fancies a changeToday 10:39

DTN, as I type this, the exact amount BOO 'paid' for PLT is £176.77m

What a bargain, eh?"

Yes james that's the cash paid out....

As i have said, the value of the shares was of the exact time they started trading - from the moment thet went live that portion was flexible...

Im interested to hear how you believe the sp value was fixed for the accounting and tax purposes?

"They both describe events and changes in value after the purchase price is agreed and fixed for accounting, tax and every other purpose. There is only one price, it doesn’t change (unless there is a conditional element like there was indeed here but that went to zero anyway)."

Exactly james....

The price paid wasn't fuxed due to a large chunk taken in stock....

I don't believe Umar sold a single bean either at least until the day he stood down as there would have been a notification of a disposal....

But of course crawshaw and hexam are right as they told us so.

So if umar sold those shares today would he pay tax on todays value or what they were when he was issued them?.....

I think you're getting yourself in a tight knot here....

So what figure is correct as of today?

Just so dayterole doesn't get confused....
