RE: Not about us (we do get a footnote) but still of interest26 Jul 2021 00:30
Okay... to a few of the pointers raised so you’ll have to pick out who they’re for and/or related to.... unless directed at such said person. (And in no particular order)
Simba 130% as to eve 13% - this could be as simple as typo, or bad period against good period for Simba so it could be misleading, whereas with eve... it’s a further increase on what had been really good results for at least the past 2 TU periods. An increase on an increase
@Cfan - great input...some intriguing info
We keep saying this and seeing this being published but there has been and now will be an even greater ongoing shift to online purchasing. A much greater confidence in us to trust the online shop without the “need” to try in a shop beforehand (the x-day trials are really good boon for this) and if for anything else the overheads are dramatically reduced by not having to cover costs for retail outlets, staff and the gubbins that go with it.
With regards to my last comment and having confidence in online shopping - well done that superstar Mrs W ( zero patronising meant) as I know from your previous posts, Wyn, that she’s not all that keen without physically trying in a shop first, but on this occasion (totally biased here) she’s done it!
With this too, funnily enough, and from previously working in retail selling sofas (for a sin), unless you’re going to stay in the shop for hours upon end chilling on a sofa or lying on a bed, you can’t truly know if it’ll be the right one for you. So often people buy a sofa or a bed from a mere handful of minutes sitting, lying etc on them. ........... this is another reason why the trial for x-days is so good. In addition, if one hasn’t tried memory foam before then it can feel a little different to start.
Sorry in advance here Wyn, but again I find your posting @ 11.52 confusing. On one hand you say eves’s lined up to fail, yet you say you can see them succeed. Another hand you say you don’t really do fundamentals but you’re often breaking all of that down, in detail, and then over analysing. Is it on 2 points here worth you being invested if you don’t have the confidence in them or the other point, is that you wish you invested more, to then see if you can help bring the price back down to then top up? Personally I don’t get knocking down a company that one’s invested in if they want to make money out of them. Frustration I get, and can have, but I’d rather keep that to myself. Losing confidence in a company I’d rather not be invested in. Not thinking a company is going to do well and possibly fail....well, I wouldn’t even consider investing in it. Not rocket science really.
On a positive Wyn, yes again, a pointer to you, I agree...... intriguing dilemma.... risk/reward over not so risky/not so rewarding.... my angle of wisdom would probably include the words of a pre-hatched bird and a something to carry them in combo’d with if you don’t try you’ll never know.
Finally, best thing Eve did was to expand to
