@ Pearls - No one beleives (except you maybe) that the next RNS will be good. The form book says bad and that is form built over a pretty long period.

Last quarter RNS was frankly poison to any investor - totally at odds with three months before statement and deliberately deceptive by THG.

Unless this changes we will be back to the low 40's.

My expectation is for THG to disappoint again and only just edge inside the bottom end of guidance - 70m. Sure there will be jam tommorow promised like 1Bln GMV added to Ingenuity but as we now understand thats just spin and BS to keep us all strung along.

Pretty much everything up except our much ramped but 90% busted THG - kinda' special to have such a share.

Give us another couple of down days and this will be back into the 40's despite all the baloney spouted on here.

Always easier said than done. I crystalised some serious losses to go to 150K - mostly Capita which has since gone up by 50% Grrrrrr.

On an honest accounting basis THG needs to get to £1.10 for BE myself. Thats a big loss on the current sp - £50k plus on todays sp. So like most on here I travel in hope more than expectation.

Maybe the Goldenshare expiry, full listing will happen, maybe the input costs at Nutition will drive better margins and maybe just maybe the 1Bln 'whale' will land.

Its a lot of maybes however when the evidence all points the other way. Heres hoping.

Silly old Canary thinks I just post to pass the time without holding a single share. Wrong and quite sadly for me very wrong.

For my sins I doubled down on this in the run up to January's Q3 update firmly (and stupidly) beleiving the numbers would be as per the prior update - afterall no profits warning had been issued.

Currently I own slightly more than 150k of THG shares and suspect the April update will disappoint again. Quite how I am not sure - its just the form book now says it will be less than expected.

No one wants this share to go up more than myself.

The truth that struggles to be heard on this BB is THG is a house of cards, a litany of broken promises led by an individual who has enriched all except THG's shareholders. A man who has cemented his finacial future at the expense of pretty much everyone who he cares little for.

No wonder he hankers to take this all back, equally no wonder he gives no statements to support the business and reassure the markets that his empire is more than a over paid collection of companies stagnating in debt funded by a well timed IPO.

If we have a run up into the 20th April results and get to 80p I will be selling at least 50% of my holding and maybe more. I for one have had enough of this outfit.

Trouble with Oke' is he is a touch Bipolar on the topic of THG and a bit repetitive.

Pens a nice post I will freely admit and adds a touch of calculus to give it some gravitas but none the less is often wrong. Like the postings prior to the last update.

THG have lost trust with the market - if they are quietly tipping the wink to a selected few who are buying than I guess we should be pleased but for myself they need to lose MM and install someone who tells the truth.

@ Oxford - The power of Dreams as Honda might say.

You quite correct though - memories on this board are very short and hope very high.

@Oke - Lets all hope you are correct.

Me - I have my doubts, MM is just too tricksy for it to be straight forward.

Unless trading, sit tight as a PI , something has to give - equity wise

Oke - that could mean we plunge to ??? as well - you appreciate that I guess?

Everything going on screams price manipulation by MM to get the sp down. The only point of hope within the last results was the 1Bln contract almost signed. If you are right Monimon this was just as set up to drive the price lower when it fails to appear.

Never have i put money (quite a lot) in an outfit that I do not trust one iota.

Some balance Oke. Bravo.

From being reasonbly comfortable with THG (post Nov) this all feels like a gamble with as much on the downside as the up. Throw in a man whose motives and honesty I hardly trust we are more than ever dependant on II's and activists to unlock value here.

Its not investing for sure.

"Technicals not great since yesterday's close."

FML a Terwatt talking 'technicals' Jesus wept.

If indeed the 'whale' never lands then this is toast - trust entirely gone. See Quindell and Rob Terry for how that ends.

I am still clinging to the notion that the big order will arrive and shortly as to have stated so with no certainty is suicide for a proper Plc.

Is THG a proper Plc or indeed Quindell Mk2? There are many similarities so for one I hope not.

Indeed @1pencil our esteemed contributor Oke is selective in his recollections, as selective as he is keen to post (Oke - you have posted incessantly for weeks - do you have any other interests?) and the stand out currently is the complete lack of any big clients for Ingenuity. Almost as if it were a lie to take the sting out of an otherwise poor set of numbers which completely U turned on guidance less than two months before.

POSTI You raise a very valid point.

My personal belief is MM will do exactly what is best for MM. That I strongly suspect diverges from what anyone on the shareholder register wants or feels is appropriate.

Peeps - Be honest most would reluctantly take £1.00 here to give the whole sorry saga closure?

Oke - You are the biggest ramper on LSE - following the update you seemed tp appreciate THG was far from in good order or indeed safe hands. You seem to have forgotten that moment of enlightment and are back in full ramp mode.

Your credibility is shot through. Give it a rest.

Moulding treats THG as his own private fiefdom, playing fast and loose as if it was entirely his alone. Do not underestimate the damage he can do if it falls from his control.

Personally I do not think MM has any interest in getting the sp back to £1.70, he wants the shareholders to be another Softbank. Merely a finacial stepping stone to the point when THG is firing on all cylinders and he can flog the thing lock stock and barrel to the yanks.

The likes of Kelso might just have changed that plan, hence his gloating Linkedin message yesterday.

@Okehurst - Despite being specatularly wrong regarding the last update you have gone back to full ramper mode - seemingly endlessly you post positives and numbers that are at best hopeful at worst delusional.

Can you ease off a touch?

Far from a premium listing this fast and loose outfit should be on AIM.

Okehurst1 - You seem to have gone from bullish - ramper? to bearish. Big turnaround to my eyes.

I think the crux of last Tuesday was indeed how far we had travelled from Octobers statement - I was surprised at the Oct for being as positive as it was - suspiciously so at the time. I had forgotten my general distrust of MM and his announcement when I added a 100k of these - silly me.

Now underwater with everyone else (OK some might be ahead but they are few and far between) - still for some reason think this being gamed and when the narrative is changed we will see better than a pound. The agenda and MM in particular is the concern.

Crumbs of comfort from last statement - it does not read like a firm being deliberately crashed for a v cheap sale.
