And speaking of BooHoo how are those shares doing? I remember you were pretty active on that board a few months ago.
You're right, we're all adults but there was a lot of bullish (some would call it something else) posts going round here until quite recently with no fact to back it up. Yes people should do their research etc. but it now feels like people were bigging this up for less than altruistic motives. The people under water have the choice now to wait until the price recovers or cut their losses. Depends how long term they want to be.

Interesting
The votes against is a big number. IIs aren't happy - not the ones that bought at 750p anyway.
Buying back shares only happens if a company has nothing better to do with its money. I notice recently they've issued two tranches of new shares and they aren't holding any in treasury.. Political donations could be as much about securing govt contracts rather than saving Lynch's backside.

If there are any short sellers and they want to close their positions the would have to buy shares to cover what they sold.
So in theory there would be upward price pressure.

Priti needs to make a decision either way.
If she ducks it again it will mean the uncertainty will hang over the company and its value funtil its resolved.
Personally I think he'll be sent eventually.

Jayne, your inputs are always welcome. As you say its hard to take a loss but often the best course. If you choose to hold (and can afford to) thats fine but as you mention there is a lot of stuff with this company going on that we are not party to. The PH valuation was a grenade but its done now. I wish the holders and the company well but probably won't get back in until its demonstrated some stability and resolved the issues we are all aware of. If that means waiting until January and buying back at a higher SP so be it. I'm not trying to talk this share down and have absolutely zero influence in that regard anyway. As I've said before, thank God for WOSG and the other more boring members of my portfolio.

Like many others I am sitting on the sidelines licking my wounds after cutting my losses last week. Had I stayed invested I would be down a further £2k from when I got out. I still feel this has some way to go. Turns out PH were not far off despite all the angry words on here including myself. This is probably a solid stock but it became hyped with lots of PIs chasing not much availability. It sounds like ML may not get off with a warning. Until that is resolved one way or another I will stay on the sidelines.

Thanks Acuere.
Free at the point of use is an attractive proposition. I daresay some places will charge the customer through phone apps. The cost of dispensing free electricity is rocketing.

Sorry if this comes thru twice.
Are POPD excluding themselves from the rapid charge market or are they developing something?

Are PODP limiting themselves to the slow charging market? I understand that some cars
can't handle rapid charge but the potential for shopping mall and other public car parks is huge.
If people leave their cars hooked up for an hour whilst shopping I guess they expect it to be charged when they return.
Can POPD provide that?

Is there any news on PODP developing fast chargers?

Claire, this has been my point for a while. Their PR is non existent - in fact worse than that. Vanessa C is head of their PR and offloads £9m at a very sensitive time. Their brokers seem to be colluding with initial investors to help offload shares way below the levels we saw even a month ago and are fighting fires instead of managing news. TBF its not for the directors to actively manage the share price but managing the overheating better would have helped.

Hi Neil.
Don't think Dark was ever really be in FTSE100 but coincidence of Morrisons buyout and DTs share price at the time conspired. ML is by far the bigger threat IMO as if extradited will need to get hands on shed loads of cash pronto.

Seaking, Why do you expect the AGM to have an impact? In my experience they are usually very dry affairs with nothing new to report. They may bung in an update but usually companies give updates on a quarterly basis. You may well reach your £5 soon or even PH's valuation by then. Ihope not as I am hurting but there isn't much in the way of good news coming out at the moment.

For those that can afford it this one is now heading for the back of the sock drawer. With turnover of at best £350m and a market cap of nearly £4b there are a lot of headwinds to come. Exit FTSE100 at end of month and ML issue to name two. Disproportionate amount of stock in wrong hands and very poor PR / house broker performance also don't help.

Ha Ha. Looks like everyone's filtered.

It was a sell . Not great PR for whatever the reason. They really should manage this better.

Ha ha, missed that.

This placement was probably a hangover from her original divestment that got placed.
Another £1.7m so I'd have a hangover.

VC had 7.15m shares until she got the urge to sell.
