Member Info for storm

Fekir Trader, You are not alone in having a relatively small stake in NFX. I am totally underwater in almost every UK small cap. I do feel that this one could go to a pound this year and possibly many times that sometime in the future, provided of course we don't get bought out.

sharebuyerzero.

Thanks.

Until your posting it never occurred to me to even begin to think that there is some sort of 'knowsy' selling going on, I am totally convinced that there is not.

If you watch the YouTube video that has been mentioned in a posting below, you will understand that it seems that there is an announcement coming in the not too distant future.

More to the point is a situation where someone is taking a great profit - and why not, no one ever went bust doing this?

Clearly, 'the tap' is still flowing and the seller is now dictating the price on a daily basis.

If this is right then it is a pre-determined market.

What happens when the 'tap' runs dry will be most interesting.

If there is to be an announcement in the near future it seems to be an odd moment to have been selling a large line

of shares, there again with shares it is very often better to travel than to arrive!

This little 'gem' is seemingly unable to do anything in the way of developing the business. If this really is the case, then why not return what money is left to the shareholders?

Thank you very much.
Perhaps I need to take this up with Nuformix.
All the best, Storm.

It is all great, but the thing that really worries me is that China is no respecter of intellectual property and it could well be that we are going to lose out big time. please, someone, be kind and explain why my concern is wrong, thanks.

Seemingly this is a very interesting business with bags of potential.

Only another £2.25 to go until break even. I suspect that there others.

Is this business going to pay a dividend?
Is there that much to go for at the moment?
Perhaps the trading update will help.

hunkynige,
If it is any consolation, you are not alone..
Having sold out at the beginning of 2018, am now back in again.
It seems to me at least, that Bodycote is rather oversold.
There again, most likely there are those who would advise a trip to Specsavers!

With due respect to the man. Giles Hargreave does not always get it right - and nor does anyone!

All that has happened is that the company appears to have done nothing other than falling about 25%. Surely to goodness, these guys must be able to find something cheap enough to buy.

WorldGoRound. Despite all your criticisms it has to be said that M&S fruit and veg and variety are of better quality than most other chains, the same goes for quite a lot of their fresh food. The food department in my local M&S is really badly presented. They need to get rid of the horrible seemingly old-fashioned shelves that tend to make the grocery area gloomy and forbidding, very off-putting indeed. Mr. Rowe clearly cannot yet fully understand about wooing grocery customers, it is not just about price, the vital ingredient is presentation, physical attractiveness and of course quality. A bit like life in general really!

Perhaps what happened is that there was a 'tap' and the became obvious so various people who not unreasonably decided to short the stock. If it is now the case that the 'shorters' have come to the conclusion that the tap has dried up then the sp will rise.
What is interesting was the recent interview with a Director who stated that he knows how the industry will have developed twelve - or was it eighteen? - months ahead and that it will be very exciting.
Time will tell.

In a sea of rising economic gloom, this beauty provides something of a relief. If Finncap is correct with its dividend prediction then we are on a prospective yield of about 6% which seems pretty satisfactory to me. Perhaps it is time for me to top-up a little.

skier1,

Unwittingly you have put your finger on the reason why it makes all the sense in the world to sell off Costa. Costa is merely the 6th biggest coffee chain in the world.
Today with overpriced coffee-shops now beginning to close perhaps this particular game is now past its heyday.
What is of concern is what is to happen to £5000,000,000.
Time to sell Premier Inns and wrap-up the business?

We can do deals with every content outfit in the world but if no one is watching it then the whole operation is useless. In my time having lost a huge amount of money on Nimslo, then DDD which turned out expensive for me, this little beauty is my very last bite of the 'leading edge' new technology cherry, so far am only 50% adrift from my purchase cost!

Costa is possibly missing a trick and could become very much more profitable by attracting a substantially increased footfall.

It is all to do with the shape of the Costa tables.

At present Costa often has small round tables as opposed to Starbucks' that always seat four, and if necessary with two tables pushed together eight.

Most Saturdays a small group of us get together for an hour in a Starbucks that happens to have a Costa next door. We normally spend about £50 to £60 in that hour, by the time we leave we have consumed two sometimes three coffees each and a few croissants. Often a beggar will come saying that he is hungry, so he is offered a drink and a sandwich and that is another three or four pounds.

The other day someone said that we should start going to Costa since they are British owned and pay a full amount of tax. We all agreed but because the tables are wrong for more than two or three people it is impracticable.

As an experiment, Costa should identify half a dozen of their chain that are close to a Starbucks, inside this half dozen they should put in Starbucks shaped tables and chairs, then they should monitor the situation for six months.

I am completely convinced that within one year after conducting this six-month trial every small round Costa table in the world will have been replaced and profits will have greatly increased.

Enough of this £40 per share nonsense, we need to be at £55 - £60, please.

Sometimes it is seemingly small matters that are the determinants of mere success or enormous success.

With great respect, could care less about fundamentals or any of the other rubbish. The real news is that they cost 200 and closed at 260 bid. Makes for a fairly tolerable weekend.

skill58 Something must have triggered a 9.25% rise in the price, please what do you think the reason is/ Thanks.
