What is it with people posting about shorts in a way that makes them think that somehow shorting shares only exists on the UK stock exchange 🤷

"Oooh if it was my business I would list it in America"

Where the hell do you think this and all the other modern financial instruments originated ?

You and the charlatan Moulding are all as daft as each other.

Can you recall Crafty and the others banging on and on about how Moulding will always put the interests of the shareholders first because so many THG staff had been granted large numbers of shares by him. Therefore not only was he going to protect their interests, he was going to do everything to reward them handsomely for their efforts by enhancing shareholder value.

I am on record as saying I did not believe a word of this, I said at the time I thought it was a smokescreen to hide the fact the fact that granting of millions of shares to THG staff was in essence a ploy by him and his acquiescent board to keep control and to block offers/bids without ever having to make them public and in turn putting the offers/bids to a vote.

Its obvious I strongly dislike him and his utter contempt for PI's but you cannot help but acknowledge he doing a excellent job of making himself and his mates richer by driving down the SP until he can acquire the businesses' for a proverbial song.

In summary the phrase Machiavellian does not come close to describing the behaviour of this immoral sh*t

I have always believed Crafty was working in some capacity for THG. The constant stream of propaganda was simply too obvious to draw any other conclusion. Quite why THG would get involved with this board is a mystery to me because I can't see this board has any meaningful influence on the share price or sentiment (but maybe it does ?).

Whatever Craftys agenda was I am honest and fair minded enough to acknowledge Crafty encouraged me to sell around the 70p mark on a number of occasions ( did he/she know where SP was heading ?) and I failed to do so.

My failure to sell around the 70p mark has turned a small loss into a loss of tens of thousands so more fool me.

This is my post from December 30th. Honestly I really did want to be proved wrong, I wanted the demerger to be a fresh start and an opportunity for the shares to start to re-rate but as I said on a post earlier today, history has a habit of repeating itself, especially when the parties concerned befitted the first time around.

Matty I have been a shareholder for long enough to know that Remainco shares won't see a £1.00 again so forget £1.50.

Moulding has signalled his intent to take it back for as little as possible and having done this with ease regarding Ingenuity why would he not attempt to do it again ? I think Jan's results will see the start of another phase of share price reduction and even though in theory the business becomes somewhat more attractive as the share price reduces the fact remains that any prospective buyer has to deal with Moulding and my gut feel is this - he has deliberately fostered a reputation for being impossible to deal with to deter bidders.

Its a sad, sorry state of affairs and I wish I could see a way for the SP to recover but when the companies CEO and close mates believe they can make more money by buying it back on the cheap a significant SP recovery is highly unlikely to happen."

Unfortunately the call will be led by Moulding, who so far has proved incapable of convincing any analyst he can be trusted to do even a half decent job of improving shareholder value. I guess there's always a slight chance of a first time 🤞

I am not normally prone to being cynical but I make an exception where Moulding & Co are concerned.

I wonder whether the decline in nutrition is part of a long game to facilitate it being sold off to "interested" parties at a discount to it's true value.

History does have a habit of repeating itself

KBYK that's a perfect synopsis so thanks from me.

It's ironic that all that time and money on a rebrand only to make a bad situation worse. In a normal business heads would roll but we all know to our cost this is no normal business

So I post a reply criticising this type of blatant ramping and at the same time criticising THG IR (all in sensible,mild language) and hey presto my post is removed.

What have you got to fear THG IR ? The vast majority of shareholders already think your about as useful as your invisible chairman.

I have absolutely no idea what Paul Scott thinks of Moulding or THG but what I can say with confidence is, he has not got the time or desire to get involved in the nonsense on here. He has recently left Stockopedia and is doing his own commentairy via Substack. As with any new start up he is working very long hours to get his new venture going to pay the bills so I am baffled by any suggestion he is involved.

Ps fwiw I have never heard him mention THG over the past month and he has plenty of opportunity to do so.

He is a tin pot dictator who is quite rightly not trusted by right minded people, I will leave it to you to determine what this says about those that support him ?

Btw Yorek, I don't think for one second anyne is suggesting you are a sycophant for simply uplifting Mouldings LinkedIn stuff onto here, personally I appreciate you keeping the board up to speed even though I find his posts nauseating

I have been in LinkedIn since since it's launch and it's impossible to impartially view it as being anything other than biased towards sycophantic behaviour and self promotion - it simply is the way it is. Mouldings contribution to it and the nonsensical praise he gets demonstrates the above perfectly.

The fact that he has people in his pay actively "managing" the responses to infantile posts, with the aim of presenting nothing but positive feedback echos the behaviour of all dictators. He is in my opinion one of the most immoral CEO's of public company that I can think of in the past 40 years.

Matt's minister of propaganda 😁

Maybe just maybe his absence is due to the fact that Matt now has everything he wants in place and therefore there's no need for Crafty to broadcast his "stuff".

With Matt and THG we are always left guessing

Pearls, it would be wonderful if the SP did make it past a quid in 2025 unfortunately I think there is very little chance of that. Let's look at the fundamentals, consumer confidence is low, MP has been declining in a market sector that is slowly growing and Beauty'sperformance lurches up and down.

I would be interested to gain an understanding of your reasons why you think the SP will be circa £1 in 2025. Thanks in advance

Very good post OSG 👏

And MP continues year on year to lose customers numbers both in terms of the buyers and revenue, so Adam Knappy give yourself and your over staffed/paid team another pat on the back

There well maybe thousands of private companies in the same way there's thousands of listed companies but there is only one Matthew Moulding and that Matthew Moulding is a person no one in the financial community trusts so the issue isn't private or public but its one of integrity - trust - competence - credibility. In short the attributes that make a person a respected leader, someone you believe in.

Hail the return of Matt's minister of propaganda 😁
