If Carlsberg did funerals

Well Hangman, I think you have to look at Harris’s move on Glencore in 2015, bought in around 160p, watched it collapse to 70p, no sweat, Glencore raised cash and Harris participated, since then they more than doubled their money, probably sitting on close to £1 billion profit right now!

[the big fella] 31/1/2018 16:00

Indeed Hangers. Back to the price they were when LOQ was 20p :)

[mr hangman] 31/1/2018 13:38

Sounds a good business model that, buy in before a discounted placing

[bookbroker] 31/1/2018 13:23

Think this will be raising cash soon, so they can until then, Harris and Co. normally position themselves ahead of these announcements to pick up stock on the cheap!

I would like to see some director buying to restore confidence but they are in a no dealing restricted period till after the end of year results.

Tipped in shares magazine as one to buy for 2018 at 1695 erm... no I didn't.

Yeah does look like a good value play now, oversold. Harris and Phoenix are top value shops who do deep research before committing capital. Long here.

Harris Associates now with a 5% stake. These guys have a good track record as value investors.I followed their lead today and think the fall is now overdone. The Crematorium business alone more than covers interest repayments. If they manage to get some volume back in the funeral business this looks very cheap......

Lol guys! I am not joking about Amazon and Ikea, I really can see the rosewood coffin flanked by six top hatted pall bearers changing in the coming years. Maybe someone will come up with a solar powered crematorium, might be a slow burner though.

I guess Dty is continuing to fall because of the spectre of interest rate rises.

Just can see my wife assembling an Ikea coffin

[mr hangman] 30/1/2018 09:28

If Ikea made coffins, one would die before putting it togeather

rights issue needed to cut that debt pile in my opinion.

itcm1, I can just see a body laid on top of a long slim cardboard box with a screwed up instruction sheet perched on the top! In the meantime DTY heads South, plainly it's a substantial business with value, but for now it's the proverbial falling knife. These situations always overshoot, but it's hard to know what the real value of this should be until more info is forth coming.

Dying with Dignity?

[bookbroker] 29/1/2018 17:17

Well, if they are buying, then someone must be selling because the MMs are running scared here!

[ianian4] 29/1/2018 16:35

I see the big funds are buying these up. They know that it is worth a bit more than the share price . They don't buy unless there is a profit.

ltcm1, Saga could just organise eco-cruises where your former loved one comes back in an urn. Dark humour aside, it is going to be interesting to see the direction the low cost operators take. Will many peoples end be a perfunctory production line disposal? The last paupers funeral I went to was about 30 years ago, but at least then there was a decent wooden coffin, a proper church ceremony and proper graveside committal. Nowadays I suspect it would be a cremation many miles from the persons home, and just shoved through at the end of the day with a perfunctory nod from the duty vicar.
