I understand why shorting can be a useful tool, but the bigger issue to me is all the Hargreaves Lansdowne and many others who keep registered ownership of large quantities of shares and can lend them out too easily without my permission to the wretched shorters. Time this was prevented. I don't want my shares used against me! Trouble is, rather hard to buy shares on your own account these days!

Ha ha! I prefer to blame the idiot Starmer and charlatan Reeves rather than Winnie... Expecting this to rebound a good deal though over next few days. One or 2 shorters will bale.

Just bought at nicely under £16. This is rather silly based on the update, and really don't want any more now. Over to the de-rampers, shorters, and rude individuals who think they're very very clever.

Looks to me like a combination of kicking the Management Team (mostly deserved) and high stock market level giving any opportunity to sell. Impacting other stocks like Tesco and Shell but Greggs obviously getting the biggest hit. I start to wonder if the shorters just know that our grotesque Labour Government is going to kill the High Street completely as it destroys Britain once and for all and we can become a full state run Marxist camp. Or maybe someone wants to buy it cheap (probably a US PE firm). Either way I am doing nicely out of the ups and downs - this is a traders stock right now, and not one to hold long term unless you got in at or near the bottom.

Difficult to see how the update could possibly lead to this sell-off other than dirty tricks. Efficient market? I fear not. I've bought what I can at these prices...

Shorters doing their best... Gonna be up and down today. But overall should improve...

Glad I sold a chunk yesterday and have just bought it all back with a few hundred quid extra in pocket thanks to the shorters. Happy to hold.

Update solid if unspectacular. Only slight negative is soft statement about next year profitability. Still, if the sp drops at all I will be buying and so will many others, so it's just a case of wait and see. Buttocks relatively unclenched.

I don't really agree. They've acquired enough stuff over last couple of years. Need to make some profit and free cash flow rather than acquire more debt, confusion and loss making shops.

Chinese walls between research and buy and sell side...

Sold a tranche and now bought much of it back after the price fell back. Thanks to the silly market I made £500 with the same number of shares held. Buys lunch!

Well, had to buy a few back that I sold earlier after the price sank back again. Big swings is the order of the day and covers our criminal stamp duty rubbish that thieving Britain grabs.

Nice jump this morning...

I'm in A&E having just chopped off all my fingers so I can't buy any more. Really am maxed out here. And then some. Beginning to wonder how bad the forthcoming update will be. Had to buy some more this morning at under 67p. Good value as long as the dividend isn't threatened. I guess an update is expected in a little over a week. Around 14th Jan.

I think performance is ok and fail to see what the shorters see. However, a big jump upwards is imho needing a bigger dividend than expected vaguely in line with previous special divs every 2 years. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I just added a bit more at the lowish point too.

Price still dropping. Bought a few more. Must stop now. Have far too many. I'm feeling confident about the dividend but bit concerned about how Funky Pigeon is doing, and other diversions. Shops will underperform compared with some previous years but still seem to be doing ok. Costs obviously hit too. But at this price they can only be decent value...

Well they seem to be eating something in the stores, unless Greggs is now a group of museums.

Just about to cut my fingers off so I can't buy any more. That's enough...

Few recommendations appearing in odd investor YouTube's etc. I just bought a few more. Can't imagine December was too bad in UK - I loved their cheap soft toys and gave a few as presents. They were well received! Candles too. Great value.
