Countrywide Share Discussion Threads

"!Once the debt is paid off then CWD should return to paying shareholders dividends!

That is way over the horizon and without LSH the cash cow the can further kicked down the road

The big question that needs asking is why would the high
fee earners with little skin in the company amongst some of the brands want to remain with an outfit currently still on a dammage limitation strategy .Pedal like mad just to service a debt not of their own making?

Especially so if the market is still improving

Still many branch offices are loss making. Here are 3 Bairstow Eaves branches which must be doing their brains

Zoopla losing market share, "On The Market" new kid on the block

================================================

10 December 2019

ONTHEMARKET PLC

Over 3,000 more agent offices now added on paid contracts

Little evidence on Zoopla that instructions are arriving thick and fast amongst the brands even taken into account seasonality
Boris Bounce muted

So many branches with less than 40 instructions selling 2/3 properties pcm

Dont expect any help from H2 results either

[blueball] 08/1/2020 10:45

The bounce is on.

25% pa on your portfolio!!! I will send you all my cash!

I am happy with anything over 5%!

[w1ndjammer] 06/1/2020 11:15

as i did not get burnt i am not interested in the past

you need to take the good and bad on the chin, i have had my fair share,

but learn to move on, look at the overall picture if you can make 25% per

year on your portfolio you are doing ok.

peeps are to emotional on this stock.

Well it certanly didn't need hindsight to see this horror show developing .Destined for disaster from the get go In 2013 CWD board repeating the mistakes of the Pru and Erinaceous before them

Buying revenue with borrowed monies expensively based on a multiplier times the good years profits
Senior equity partners who promptly leave. Thanks for the golden goodbye cheque

You coudnt make it up paid out cash rather than grant shares to give them some skin in the game. A lifetime of past f success and contacts never to be repeated again

The only success stories amongst listed agents are those who have mainly expanded organically with limited use of the cheque book

At least Foxtons kept their hands in their pockets and as a consequence carry no debt

[onjohn] 06/1/2020 10:03

Trap door open at 200p here i can feel it

[w1ndjammer] 06/1/2020 09:21

Isn`t Hindsight wonderful..........

Profit warning?

[hillofwad] 06/1/2020 08:59

I am recently invested but purely on the basis that a rising tide lifts all boats. It's diffcult to find a less inspring set of BODS sat at Mission Control.

Turvart

If you have undertaken any reseach you would have uncovered a history of poor decsion making ,dreadful expensive acquistions fuelled by borrowing money and a company slow to adapt to changing market conditions

A set of BODS who if they had sat on their hands and passed the port
they would have saved shareholders hundreds of millions
The recruitmet of thenew COO is not going far enough.Root and branch required

The irony is not lost is that it's the deadwood that remains within the brands too in a challenging market .grateful to receive a salary

Its the go getters who are planning their move during this period to hit the ground running and migrate to pastures new

That is the main risk with the £60m millstone around ther necks,reporting to a main board of makeweights the brand stars might be breaking off independetally

[w1ndjammer] 06/1/2020 08:18

Turvert

All the negative posters are ex employees that got culled when
the deadwood was cut away. I have been trading this stock for yonks and
have seen it all.

As the property market starts to heat up CWD will get carried along, we are
starting from a very low base so could be a nice multibagger.

i will continue to stick around, don`t post much these days but will be watching.

One thing that I do dislike is people coming on this thread and saying short comments on how bad CWD is without putting up any serious evidence.

With the research I have done on CWD of which is very extensive, as I'm not a lazy person when it comes to investing then I would value a sensible debate. I'm not trying to make out that CWD is the best company out there but if you do some proper research like I have then your see that CWD is certainly not going bust.

[turvart] 05/1/2020 11:48

It's not the best of companies agreed, but at this share price level there is so much potential for it to multi-bag and the property market is showing massive signs of recovery.

Personally with the research I have put in of which is a massive amount,I feel that Countrywide are easily going to get through this and this will be a multi-bagger.
