Hmm, the trading statement is an improvement but still feel the company is doomed:

(i) Improved sales mainly due to raising average prices 5.8% (some mix effect but unlikely to be large at this stage). Based on weak lfl. Likely to result in a decreased footfall quite quickly imo.

(ii) No real brand identity (negative for poundstretcher). Company admitted this itself after reasonable research. Indeed they are now effectively to become a selection of stores with little overall brand. This doesn't seem a good strategy to raise footfall.

(iii) Improvement in working capital is good news, but doesn't change the fact that the company has no real niche and therefore is doomed imo.

A few months back it was rumoured that Tescos may be looking to take over a business with potential to implement its non food side of its business on the high street. Is there now a possibility that Tescos will go the Argos way with its catalogue shopping idea and would it look at Instore outlets as potential points of sale? THOUGHTS ?

A request for help with a new business venture.

I have become a partner in - the redundancy advice site.

The site is doing pretty well, with about 1,800 visitors last week and the numbers rising every month. We've had a write up in The Mail, The Sunday Times and also a 5 minute Q & A spot on the Beeb's Working Lunch, which I think is pretty good going for a 4 month old start up business that has done zero advertising.

I wonder if forum members could help us in two ways?

1) Spread the word!

Most members of this bb have probably been around long enough to have been made redundant (twice for me before I went self employed), faced the threat of redundancy, know someone who has been or is being made redundant, or possibly, are in the position of making people redundant. It's a fact of life these days & a pretty everyday occurance regardless of the field or industry. Unfortunately, it's everywhere.

If you know anybody who you think might benefit from having a look at the site would you PLEASE forward a link to them? The info on the site is very helpful & completely free. Please add to your Favourites/Bookmarks and check in periodically. Sadly, the day will probably come when someone in your circle will benefit from the advice.

2) The Armchair Advice Forum.

It's too slow. If any of you could spare 5 minutes to register and add to the forum I'd be in your debt. Any comments, advice, redundancy experiences, tips, war stories, my boss was an a*&%$ stories, success stories, redundancy made me the man I am today stories or suggestions would be very welcome indeed.

Of course, if any of you have been made redundant recently please use the Armchair Advice Forum in any way you can - ask for advice, support, info or help.

A review of the site by fresh eyes is always welcome & if you see anything you do or don't like, or see a gap which needs filling please don't hesitate to speak up.

Thanks for reading this.

And Angus, if you're reading this feel free to avail yourself mate.

If each of the 280 store makes just £200 per week extra profit (not a huge target) then the total profit will rise by £2.9M.

Factor in the expected savings from the dist centre & we're at £3M+.

Any mgmt. should be able to achieve that standing on their heads, let alone the bloke like Coates with a wealth of value experience.

It's a gamble of course, but doesn't look hard.

Can't believe share price has been rising over the past couple of days, especially as the full year report was less than flattering. Do people think these have been oversold, or has something changed radically over the last 48 hours?

The name instore by itself means nothing, just as Matalan, ASDA & Walmart mean noothing. They need an advertising campaign to extoll the virtues & get some recognition for what is after all a new brand.

Wunderbar,

Looks like your predictioons coming true !. This really needs a positive annoucement from the Company or else this will plumb new depths in terms of share price. I'll be tempted at sub 20p tho'

Chefman, you're still idolising Munro (post 106)
I remember you shouting in a post 'have a drink on us Munro',
the only reason I can think as to why you're infatuated with him,
is you're either his son or his lover or you're MUNRO.
Let him go for God's sake, see it as it is.

Not looking too healthy today.

This is turning into a very lucrative short.

Morning chaps.

IC just said sell, so we could see a rally from here ... j/k.

Not plugged the numbers yet, but looks pretty grim. Looking at the interims they only had 1.6m of cash in August, and receivables weren't much changed from the previous year. Does anyone have details of the banking facilities? otherwise they will have to renegotiate new borrowing/raise equity finance fairly shortly I would imagine.

WUNDERBAR,

Sounds about right.

Why not go short ?

Neil, as you know, 2005's profits are expected to be only £3.9m, this will undoubtedly limit the shareprice upside from here. If I honestly thought there was a remote chance of getting 50p+ in the next few months I would have held on but I just can't see it. Then there's the whole Instore concept itself. Can it work? Right now it's failing miserably.

Fundamental analysis tells me we'll be seeing a new low this year. I've already stated I expect to see anything from 20p-32p. If you are fortunate enough to see 50p in the coming weeks then grab it while you can because in my view it's inevitable this will soon drop below 40p. Personally I'm looking for 20/30p before I get back in, purely as a speculative punt hoping Tradegro take it private.

I wish I could be more positive but I've been ground down after five years of non-stop excuses and profit warnings. Mind you, I do believe the distribution centre will eventually improve things, but how long before they get it right? With INST you just know there's another mishap waiting to happen.

As things stand, I believe there's more chance of seeing 35p than 50p. INST is currently 43p.

Down on a generally bullish day.

Bodes well for the bears.

Its a great pity that things did not work out at Instore, the management brought in by Monro were the founding team at Matalan (most were there before Monro arrived), if you look at the report in the Times yesterday its actually not very complimentary of both parties i.e.Tradegrow and Monro and states that the management team before Monro had done a lot more damage (they had more or less bankrupt the comapny) than the team that are presently departing. Maybe its Tradegrow that are the problem?
