Ha almost got to 17p . Must rustle together £300 for my little nibble on Monday when I wake up about midday anything less is a bonus.
As for a takeover “ no chance” with that debt pile . Purely speculative on the hope it gets to 35p to take back the cash and enjoy a free ride into the future ,
And if if goes t.i.t.s up its only a small punt

You’d think they’d do well in these ghastly times but alas the social distancing in place low cost funerals seem to be the norm and will hit the bottom line going forward , my father died last year and the company I used was not affiliated with dignity, Sadly listening to how they work put me off investing in here, and even if I got a discount on a funeral as a perk I wouldn’t ,!

Well could boo hoo come in and sweep up mulberry for £100 million of their recent £200 million fund raising acquisition pot? Seeing as it was worth nearly a Billion 18 months or so ago. Cheap as chips for a quality brand.
Mr Ashley you need to move fast

Ha yes I saw the boo boo fund raise and immediately thought sosander may rise on this . Perhaps mulberry is a target that’s bombed out from last years levels of £25 to £1,80s the wife holds these at from £4 area if anything for the 20% discount on the handbags

Noggers at least it finished up and in the £4s

Oh and right at the end of the report it tells you the spread of share holders, only 5% in private investors hands and the rest 95% in corporate hands so to speak, And only 8,200 hold more than 15,000( which I am one) and only 617 hold 50,00-100,000.
I also see they do store tours for investors 3 times a year ,maybe for larger holders !

Yes just read his little bonus goal post move what af shocking disgrace. So after removing the annual bonus for shop workers ( warehouse, managers , and office staff still get it ) this year he collects his near 1,000,000 shares worth £2.4 million looking at his pay / re numeration on page 57 Of the annual report he’s got his snout in deep enough as it is, very very disappointing to read and the board should hang their heads in shame,,
years ago as a driver we was in our annual meeting and we was told Ocado was no threat and the shares weren’t worth investing in !? Oh to sit down with that fella now would be interesting, seeing as they can pick a shop at a fraction of the cost it costs Tescos . Still might pick up some marks and spencer shares . 80p v 240p let’s see in a year which gains the most. Sadly that won’t stop move the goal posts lewis from his undeserved award

Well in for a penny In for a £1 may get back to £1.39 I bought at then!?

Total bummer of a week, anyhow s should it miraculously climb back up to 489 I have a sell order in place ! As this yo yo market could go on for months yet
Putting cash to one side may well be the order of the day

Well at least this was fairly stable in today’s market

Oops said that last night , still the carrot grows bigger, time to take a bite maybe, let’s see what tomorrow brings if it hits 17. I’ll take a small bite

Well there you go to throw something else into the mix liberium gives marstons a price target of 65p a cracking 116% upside potential from 30p.
Pub sale wise better to have sold pre covid than post covid .
Could well be one to stick down the sofa and find in a year or two

For sure.. positives it’s making money, a very low p.e of 1.6, they are paying back debt, pay a dividend ( alas currently pulled due to covid ) covered 7! Times by earnings , director has bought recently.. huge concern however it’s valued at £144 million, BUT has DEBT of 2.6 Billion... now like me I cycle and Drive and was kicking myself with the way Halfords flew up ( albeit they haven’t got a huge debt) but like many families this year on the travel side of the business are not going to be risking a holiday over seas so I would imagine a heck of a lot of families will be having staycations this year. Also I think new cars sales will plummet so people will hang on to there old bangers longer. Which could “ahem” drive the shares upWorth a small flutter but not the house.
Learnt a lesson on Debenhams so be cautious with this one

Even better news we lose some of our temps Sunday, only 5 but that’s £500 a week in costs saved.
Also a better night on out of date waste only £14.

Well in two days I’ve taken off £150 pounds of out of date stuff along with what the produce guy took off on nights I think we’ve hit £400 in two nights just through lack of imbeciles not rotating! Although nothing compared to the £360 of apples I took of the shelf the other week that was days and up to 18 days out of date according to the label on the box , Avacados £100 unbelievable waste at the moment. Sooner were shot of these temps the better.

Missed it as I was asleep may have to set up a sell order . Never mind.
Bit of a late sell off in the good ole USA wonder where that will take us tomorrow

Could be a wake up call or good news for marstons and that is , the word on the street is punch is close to going bust...

Yes Friday was a bit of a bummer..

Yes I spoke too soon! Consensus is it’s a down day with the rest of the market, we live to fight another day.

Now going to sound like a proper rapper here and say “ I wouldn’t want to be out of this at the weekend” ! For once I’m thinking I’d like to be a fly on the wall with the talks to take it private going on .
Although I think I’d like them to stay public and repay the dividend again hopefully once this all blows over as it would be a nice little divi over the year sp would rise too.. Of course hoping upon hope here
