Christmas is the busiest period here so hopefully some good results

Moonpig must be taking some market share here but CC. is a very large company compared to Moonpig. The real crime is that CC. didn't steal that market themselves. They must have been aware of Moonpig's progress.
Irish retail sales down heavily for September.

the problem here is that Moonpig and similar are taking their market, the only hope is a VC bid but difficult to see value otherwise

IMS due here at the end of November

Cashed in the short today for small profit- can't complain. I was getting bored already. Probably should have let it run but better opportunities elsewhere and needed the wonga.

looks like an arrangement simon from todays RNSs

[empirestate] 25/10/2010 21:59

that was an interesting trade of 4.4 million on friday, still reckon these offer decent value on a p/e of around 6

Scotsman- I don't think these will stay down long term imo and my short is only opportunistic. However, last years Halloween was very strong trading for CC. so they've got some tough lfl's to beat in a slowing market. The next RNS statement is end November.

well I hold so I hope it goes back up but I am concerned that the FTSE is at yearly highs and this is not

[simon42] 14/10/2010 17:11

In my opinion the results look not half bad on the surface, net debt down and operating profit up but the recent trend of declining footfall and falling like for likes hasn't had a proper chance to impact on operating profit. This is a very negative trend and I can see brokers picking up on it.
Furthermore, CC. aren't rapidly opening new stores to counter act this downtrend in current stores so where would any real immediate growth come from?
IMO Ireland isn't starting to get better yet and retailers will continue to suffer over there and Ireland will continue to hurt CC.'s bottom line and may even decline further. How can this have positive sentiment? All imo. What do you think scotsman?

[scotsman2] 14/10/2010 15:29

whats yr reason to short ?

[simon42] 14/10/2010 14:20

Had a short on these today. If it goes through 30p then it coud run down to 25p.

[scotsman2] 28/7/2010 19:45

[the next man] 19/7/2010 11:16

You can buy Don's autoboigraphy in CC. Card Factory customers rushed in to buy it.

[scotsman2] 19/7/2010 11:14

[fozzie] 16/7/2010 15:38

Must admit i sold out for a painful loss yesterday and put the money in IGR. Disappointing performance to say the least.
