MKS up and OCDO down

I am holding both

A shareholder revolt

Of all the Grand Prix you would want a bit of TV exposure for the AML Safety Car, it would be Monaco.
Bloody typical.

Anyone see the full Ocado TV advert during C4 F1 highlights yesterday?
It's the first time I've seen it, but I don't watch a lot of TV.
Onwards and upwards!

But 8th June is 2020 results not 2021 results.
I'm in deep with CARD but shareholders might be dealt a large dose of realism on 8th June.
I'm not expecting any further upward movement until much later in 2021.

28th July, it's on CARD's financial calendar

Your assuming that the 2020 results are above market expectations?

It does looks like those commenting on Autocar are out of touch.
On holiday in Florida 4 years ago I met a gentlemen, Mr Zimmerman, who ordered a DB11 Launch Edition. In his own words "it just never worked" and despite a technician being sent over from Gaydon, they failed to fix it. He returned the DB11 under their lemon laws!
When I met him, he was driving a Lamborghini, and he asked me to tell Andy Palmer that this is what he had spent the refund on (I mentioned that Andy Palmer follows me on Twitter).
Aston Martin may be made in Britain, but it is a global brand, and the people commenting on Autocar don't seem to understand this. Quality at this price point is absolutely everything!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I can see a shareholders revolt brewing.
I'm not happy with the current board or the appointment of the new CEO.

Don't forget we were at 50p for some weeks last summer, but without the shops being open currently, this sp doesn't look sustainable in the short term to me, but long term we should return to 150p+ in a few years, assuming the new CEO proves to be the right man for the job (I'm not 100% convinced).
I'm holding and will buy more when the opportunity arises, which it will.

It's still looking like in April (ie. after Easter) for non-essential retail to me.
Place your bets.
Either way, there's light at the end of the tunnel now, that's for sure.

I bought in during the summer at 29p, and have increased my holding a few times since. Will add more this week for the long term.

Trust me, Drakeford will not risk a spike for the Easter holidays. He will almost certainly release restrictions after Easter. I am no fan of Drakeford, but I have been watching him closely.

There's no way Drakeford is going to open up tourism for Easter. I would lower your expectations if I were you.

I live in Wales, and I guarantee Mr Drakeford will not be opening up much if any non-essential retail until after Easter. He has previous, and lots of it.

Haven't been able to get a quote out of Hargreaves Lansdown for a CARD buy for 30 minutes now

I also don't think we're going to see much movement until Boris lays out the roadmap next week.
He is sounding very cautious to me, so I suspect retail is going to be pretty disappointed next week.
