The fact that there will be further studies into best practice in the industry suggests further black clouds on the horizon or without the metaphor pricing pressure.

Interesting to see that Phoenix Asset Manahgement has increased their holding over the last several weeks by over 52% - they now own 9.358% of DTY. No short positions either. Feels positivelets hope the share price reflects the confidence.

Hussyo,My point was regarding that the Co-Op also reducing prices was surely always on the cards.

[hatfullofsky] 11/9/2018 08:52

Hussyo - Selecting Shares that Perform (Richard Koch and Leo Gough) ... it's not about the price you paid it's all about the current price.


I started buying in Sept 16 at around $6.50 then again during the drop in Dec 16 $3.50 and been in / out ever since. Core holding and trade around 30% when the opportunity presents itself. Yourself ?

Apologies to others for the off topic.

[hussyo] 10/9/2018 16:27

hat - am I allowed to ask what price?

squid.. if DTY decides that to keep market share they also need to reduce prices of their Simple plans, which will account for about 20% of sales, then it will impact the bottom line. More than anything, it's the uncertainty, because DTY is highly cash-generative.

[squidsgone] 10/9/2018 13:51

How on earth can this be a shock to the SP??

[hussyo] 10/9/2018 09:41

hat.. are you long Plus?

[hatfullofsky] 10/9/2018 09:37

Long term hold for me, there is a lot of value in the crematorium business (which justifies the current market cap on its own) but I agree momentum is non existent and not likely to improve short term.

[hussyo] 10/9/2018 09:31

I think it will be a long while before any negative sentiment is shed by the stock. And it's possible - perhaps likely - they will never have a growth story to tell again. I've sold the rest of my holdings and am moving on. Best of luck guys and gals!

[hatfullofsky] 10/9/2018 09:25

Cheers Del, looks over done but I'll wait for the dust to settle (dodgy pun intended) before I jump in again.

"As well as promising to charge less than competitors, the Co-op said it would reduce the cost of its cheapest funeral package by £100, and offer Co-op members increased discounts"

DTY will just match the CO-OP as they have stated.

[hussyo] 10/9/2018 09:03

Yep, that's it. Thanks del..
