The only thing that stops this dropping is the close. Back to the top of the 250 fallers. I’ve said before but we’re pretty good at that!! Sick

Perhaps you are correct Mark.
You’d like to think that the price it’s at now, a flat report wouldn’t harm where it sits now. We all know better though.
Although a CEO isn’t there to be flamboyant, charismatic etc... it would be a nice change if ours was a little more upbeat on prospects than usual.
If indeed there is prospects!

Nuri,
I’m not one to call out people however, don’t understand why you persist in berating the company and other investors when you have stated on nunneries occasions you don’t have a current holding in the business. I can only presume it’s to start a rant on the board and get an argument started?

Movement on this share hasn’t ever been an issue. Sadly, usually the wrong way. Was hoping yesterday was the rise into the anticipated update, nope again. The 5 year chart is a joy to behold. I have been “invested” here long enough to be sore when sitting down! As the continued drift into obscurity presides a good update may only get us back to current levels. Will need to put my trust in the board and hold for another year or 2 at least. At just under £500 a point these can be “paper” expensive days! ??

Getting better!
Only in the top 30 ftse 250 fallers today.
Who knows, one day, maybe soon we may see some blue.
Market down, red, market up, red, tech down, red. Tech up, red...This share doesn’t even follow the rules of probability.
Depressing.

Cheers Power, I’m kicking my height now!
Good news today. Not in the top ten fallers, bad news was we are in the top twenty though.
Terrific.

Agree, no interest in this at the moment.
Taking a hammering on this. Down 60k from recent highs. Arghhh
Please don’t someone come back with investing is for the long term and fluctuations are irrelevant. This has been on a downward spiral for years now.
Please. Someone buy this. I live in hope and reside in cuckoo land.
Just wanted to moan really. Bloody sick of this company.

Add the debt to the market cap.
In my line I stated “material”
Doesn’t need to be a RNS a newspaper article gets bounced everywhere. We even have a button for it on this site. News.

All companies are just companies. There is no comparison offered or suggested. Do your diligence on each and if you like what you read then pull the trigger on the investment. Doesn’t matter whether it’s Nasdaq, Ftse, dow, aim or any other banding they happen to be in.
Are they either “best in breed” or a growing company? (Apologies, take on a Jim Cramer statement). Anyone who doesn’t do the background reading is open to market sentiment and usually they have jumped in after the hype and should expect to be caught in the sell off.
This share reads well. Is 5.5 billion the correct valuation for this?? Perhaps, but that is what the market have it at due to the debt on the books. In today’s world, growth is everything. Cost savings thereafter. If indeed micro has stopped the reduced revenue though that would be a surprise as they have stated it won’t for the time being, then we will see an increase in the price. If not, the quickest saving to show on the P&L is head count. Sorry, but that is the case.
Think the common thread and feeling is there is not enough updates from the company in general.
Plenty stuff comes through on LinkedIn and I’m sure some of these are material enough to warrant something. For a techy business they certainly don’t bang the drum enough.

Only thing we appear to be consistently good at is our frequent position on the ftse 250 fallers.
Serious capital erosion experienced here.
Shame, did well from BP, Rdsa, RSA, Llo, evraz and Av. This has pretty much taken all of the above.
No capitol gains when you have Micro on board.

Hope the trading update brings some joy. Very surprised it took a dip yesterday with the markets going the other way. Fingers crossed it’s not relative to the forth coming update. £4.60 may well be a good exit point, we will soon see.

There is no connection with “Pure Cremation” dignity is a traditional style funeral service provider.
In that it has a retail presence throughout the U.K.
They manage the service they provide and excuse the pun. “Undertake” all the services themselves.
Pure cremation is a disrupter. This is a collection of the deceased and taken to the crematorium. That’s it. Tbf this service has become more popular in the past few years and is certainly eating into the market share of the Dignity and the Co-op alike (the big two). There are a number of similar style service providers for disposal only.
Volume is everything as margin is very low. As such Pure Cremation have no retail presence and everything is pretty much carried out from a single service centre which keep the expenditure as low as possible. Man with a van you could say!
Dignity does have an entry level business trading as “simplicity” look it up.
Hope this helps.
FYI they own a load of the properties they trade from, add in a bunch of crematoriums and cemeteries and their market cap is below the book value. This should really be separated and parts sold. I’d be so bold to state the crematorium division is worth 500 million alone. I come to this number as a competitor recently sold 11 crematorium for over 110 million. Dignity have way more than that.

I hope so. I’d take £5.50 now.
This share doesn’t fail when it comes to disappointing its investors.
So annoyed with myself that I didn’t take £5 + recently. I pray I don’t have to wait till the end of the recovery period and oops... that didn’t work either.
No news, no volume, no joy.
.

I too enjoy the updates, would really rather the company gave them out as it would enhance confidence. First time I’ve check for a number of weeks and to say I was shocked with yet another retrace is as they say, an understatement.
Have to believe now £5 is the high water mark for the foreseeable. Other than relative newbies I like most others will be nursing a decent loss.
Today’s price would bring my average down but can’t quite convince myself to pull the trigger.
Done all my diligence previously (after hp horror)
And Tbf not a lot has changed. I’ll wait for now with fingers crossed and we get an approach to take the company off our hands.
Pity Stephen Hester is going to Easy Jet and not here. Oh well, I live in hope.

Love the updates opulenta however, long term holders haven’t got in cheaper. Long term holders have been savaged by this investment. I was lucky enough to have additional funds to lower my average when this was in the early 3s and this brought the average down but is way north of the current price. Would bite the hand off an offer of £7.
IMO this will take years to recover and not to some of the delusional numbers suggested. I’d love to be wrong, don’t think I am though.

In principle I agree, though I can’t recall the s&p losing a third of its value in 2 weeks?
Now we hear “great level for entry” which is exactly what the same folks said at £5.50.
I am so disappointed with the CEO of this company. Whilst it’s good to manage expectations, he has no charisma whatsoever. If he is still in the post at the next fiscal update I’d have someone from marketing deliver the news. I’m confident someone else would at least talk up the company who pays their salary.
Divis are great and was nice to get a few ££ but no point when your capital is decimated by share price collapse, again!
Suppose I’m ****ed clean off. £40k paper-loss since results and this shows no sign of stopping.
Thought £4.20 would be base and I was going to add to holding however, the speed at which we descended to this is more of a concern and could be £3.50 which is a problem.

Over reaction, I hope so.
Market, like us were looking for an update on how our partnerships are performing. Didn’t really get any of that and this was priced in.
We did get the declining revenue and it was hoped (certainly by me) that the short time we have been with our partners would have halted our revenue bleed.
Great day for the Ftse and a 8.8 cent dividend.
We still lost over an 1/8 of the market cap.

Treading water time again. With slow tail to 420.... repeat...

Wave ten was T in cheek so to speak. By the analogy of 240 to 480. I’m more in the gang of £25 - £2.50
The market doesn’t forget this so easily considering most of the players were obliged to buy during the bygone days of the ftse 100 club membership. My fingers are still warm from that one. There are green shoots and all that but this will and is pushing against a lot of resistance.
News always helps, not enough comes from their pr people on that front.

I was very confident we wouldn’t see 3s again. I am less so now. I believe in the medium term this will prove to be fruitful to all. Though I thought that 25% ago. All it proves is what do I know!

Will I never learn with this share!
Saw it at 520 yesterday and thought sell! Sadly no.
I should know better by now as we enter wave 10 on the downward spiral.
Concerned the bottom will be in the 3s and only a five weeks ago I didn’t think we would see the fours again. Don’t understand it at all. Been doing this for years and this one astounds me.
