I'm not sure if it will be legal to carry this through. I understand the intentions, but you wouldn't ban alcohol because of underage drinkers, so I doubt that they'll get this to stick legally. Otherwise the heavy drinking population in Australia will come under threat. If they get this to stick, where will it stop?

People are taking their profits.

May see movement back up once this has run its course.

It will be interesting to see how this goes tomorrow.

Tractor Supply Company? Am I missing something? Are they being sued for having big yellow wheel hubs as well?

I think that it was the "Every Lidl helps" that gave it away :-) Sorry, but what a joke! So you can't use a yellow circle for anything because Lidl own it. You must be joking!

Anyway, Lidl stole their logo off Dell. Both have components that appear to be falling over. Just like my Dell laptop!

I'm hoping for an uplifting RSN from the new CEO.
Perhaps they will now expand their scope to include news/TV media.
Expanding in this direction would surely turn this company into a mega-bucks entity.
The new CEO seems to have experience and contacts that he could leverage.
My advice: never stand still, always be on the move. There are always new horizons to navigate, if the will is there.
I'll be watching with interest.

Cringe worthy RNS.
"winning culture", "performance management".
What it all means is that the people with the privileges are going to screw the rest. Not a healthy culture at all, in my opinion. A healthy business environment requires that all participants benefit, not the few at the expense of the many. I see the end of the Roman Empire coming down the track at speed. I will not be investing here, although I might take out a short just for the hell of it. Bring back the Emperor! I foresee a hatchet man being employed followed by a failure to fullfill contracts due to insufficient intellectual resource. All my opinion.

I note that JP Morgan Cazenove maintain their rating at 2510.
Marble Bar Assett Mangement have already made a killing by shorting here. Will they be trying to cash in some of their hand ahead of the new CEO coming in? I'd think so. Signs of some shorts closing and pushing the price on? Lets see what happens tomorrow. Might see a 5% rise. But I can't predict the Future. I'm only here for the pun, by the way.

Yes, but during the start of the previous recession, so particularly relevant in its observations.

I would also add a speculative note that people tend to keep some luxury items even during a downturn. They like to have these items to cheer themselves up in spite of the economic gloom. This has already been shown for some items in people's grocery baskets. So may be worth a speculative punt at this level. My opinion only, but a weighty one. Will be watching for an uplifting RNS from the new CEO after March 31st.

I think that the Jefferies statement forgot to mention that the whole point of the acquisitions is to leverage economies of scale. If sales are flat, that's not the point! You still increase your profits through the aforementioned economies of scale. Economics 101.

*correction: read "Jefferies" instead of "Berenberg" in my last post. Good job they're not paying me for this cr@p :-) * Berenberg are veering on the positive side for this company (Future).

Marble Bar Assett Management appear to be a fairly aggressive investment company and have increased their short on Future. The company has not always fared well; previously it has lost millions in its strategies. Lets see if they've got it right this time. I still note that the relatively negative statement from Berenberg appeared just after Marble Bar increased their short on Future. Must be just a coincidence, I imagine. I wonder how much pressure Marble Bar put on its operatives to deliver a fast buck and if this could be their own undoing. DYOR AMOHO

*...with it?*

If we took the £8m that we took from Zillah and divided it between all the shareholders, that comes to about 7p per share. Hardly seems worth it, particularly when you consider that she would have only ended up donating much of her millions to charity in the end.

The share price took a big hit as a result of Zillah leaving.

Anyone know if she was planning on leaving anyway, or did the loss of the proposed £8m have anything to do with it.

A lot of big trades went through late yesterday. Shorts closing? Are we ready to move back up again? Who's in the know, I wonder. Someone with connections, no doubt. Who can predict the Future? Someone seems able. Almost time for a revealing RNS that no one knows about in advance, I suspect. Catch my drift? As usual, all my own opinion.

Too late for a reply from Vas, Phil. Delhi are 5½ hours ahead of us, so he'll be wrapped up in his cozy chadars by now.

Just on time, Berenberg Bank, on the same day state a target of 1,780. Makes one wonder why Jefferies have suddenly waded in at 1300, looks very suspicious to me. I wonder if there is any relationship between the latest short being taken out and someone, somewhere, somehow, but without attaching any suggestion of impropriety at all, I should add. All just my own imaginative opinion, of course.

Ha, I laugh at Jefferies. I wonder if anyone from there has actually visited Future in person and spoken to them in any depth. I know that other major fund holders have done this and found that their business principles are sound. GLTA and keep the faith. DYOR As you say KC, monkeys might do better than scaremongers after a quick buck.
