No sign of RedLeg in my local Asda yet

It's good to get all views, positive or negative on these discussion threads but Most threads of companies doing well have someone who is obviously narked that they sold.

A poster may try knocking the co with unsubstantiated claims because it's eating them away inside and in the process making a complete fool of themself. They ought to move on and be pleased they made a profit. Most do but some need confirmation their decision was right. (If they made a loss and keep monitoring there's no hope for them watching it sail away knowing that they could have been onboard)

So if they feel they made the wrong decision they stay and try knocking the co (believing that they make a difference!) in the hope to get back onboard and not miss out on the future rise.

If your original reasons to buy haven't changed then it's probably not a great idea to trade, just keep them for what may end up a huge investment multi bagged as they say. I have learnt from past trades e.g. I sold BATs at £5 now 53! Asos I'm not even mentioning the prices.

DIS could be great but then so could many, and it isn't often you get that super share that you got in early on. I do think this COULD be a multi multi bagger from here but it all depends on how it's managed and whether they have that extra usp like some claim Fevr to have. Personally I think they have reached fair value (fevr that is) and that is why I have sold two thirds my hdg and increased my hdg of DIS. I will continue to increase if the story gets better or on dips.

Distil PLC - Here's to a spirited future! - DIS
Having been in this stock for ages, I saw the trading update this morning and was ready for more disappointment and was in the mood to sell, but this update is a belter. Should see us swinging nicely into profitability and possibly make the big boys realise that if they want to buy the brands they'll have to do so from the shareholders not the administrators.

That's why I have him on filter

Waterloo, I have nothing against your post, what you posted is from Scares mag, so it is already out in the market and is now in the price. It was a badly researched article, because the author looked at cash but didn't look at the cash burn rate. Anyone that can read can see the cash burn was only £66K in 6 months and therefore the cash we have is staggering for an AIM company, how many other AIM companies can you name that have over 6 years worth of cash?? Let alone the fact we are probably profitable now!

What I get defensive about is boffshisters use of your post to try and deceive investors.

[waterloo01] 29/4/2017 09:32

I wasn't making any comment, just reporting what was in the week. In hold a few of these and am up 160%+. People get so defensive!

Interesting. That's another good example of the growth of the Gin market, and what we can look forward to as we expand. More details in the news, mentions M&S but not the supermarkets Blackwoods is in, or Amazon (edit, just checked their website and its on Amazon at £29.99), so we'll have to look around and see who is in the largest number of outlets. Also mentions France, where we will be expanding into with RedLeg, where Rum is the 3rd biggest spirit market, and we'll be right under the nose of Marie Brizard, a company looking to buy a rum brand.

This bit bodes especially well for Distil with its equally rapid growth and lower prices.

"The UK market for super-premium gin is expected to have overtaken Spain during 2016 and is forecast to keep growing rapidly. That trend, combined with Brockmans’ own continued rapid growth, will likely make the UK our biggest market within the next few years."

Have a read.

Re: short on cash, I believe Waterloo01 was talking about his own cash flow and not Distil. Distil has positive balance sheet/working capital (not many AIM listed companies have as strong balance sheet as Distil). Distil shares will be trading in double digits ths year.

[haggismchaggis] 29/4/2017 07:44

So the deceitful liar boffshister is using the old bashers chestnut of funding, just shows he still has an agenda to try and stop the price rising or to lower it!!

Interim Results for the six months ended 30th September 2016

Cash & cash equivalents at the end of the period £883,000

Reduction in operating loss of 25.8% to £66k

So without any growth at all, Distil would have had enough cash to last SIX YEARS AND EIGHT MONTHS!!

Since those results, sales and profits have increased significantly (see trading update RNS's), and the listings in two UK supermarkets were not in the interim results. There is an extremely high chance that Distil is now operating profitably, so there is no longer any cash burn, the cash pile will be growing, so absolutely no chance of any new funding.

I'm not sure they need funds... the balance sheet is in good shape without any drain on cash and they are now breaking into profitability....

[boffster] 28/4/2017 23:25

I don't think its fair to say that DIS is short of cash. Getting the products into new markets does not necessarily cost very much. And with sentiment running high, I've no doubt that DIS would be able to raise funds easily enough should it be required.

[haggismchaggis] 28/4/2017 19:17

Yes, Scares Mag reprint. Made no difference to today as there's still buyers around.

[someuwin] 28/4/2017 19:09

...Just a copy of last week's Shares mag update I think.

[waterloo01] 28/4/2017 18:56

Tipped as a sell this AM in 'the week' based on 'had excellent run but short on cash'.

[acdc52] 28/4/2017 17:29

At 8am, somebody sold 307000@3p. Big mistake.

[villarich] 28/4/2017 16:55

Onedayrodders - I have a good friend who works for one of the big bookies and says the traders feel Dr Steelhammer is being underestimated. There will be lots of offers encouraging money on Joshua. Smart money is on it going the distance as these big fights often do.

[haggismchaggis] 28/4/2017 16:23

3 decent sized buys this afternoon.

[haggismchaggis] 28/4/2017 16:21

acdc, cheap tonic in decent Spirits is like going to a Michelin starred restaurant and asking them for a Big Mac.

The decent tonics are neutral, I think you need it to be neutral as all the flavours are in the spirit.

[onedayrodders] 28/4/2017 15:53

Villarich .. you will need something to keep you awake methinks

nailed on disappointment
