I wonder how much that analyst was patd for that report

[smartypants] 11/8/2017 11:57

Down 100p in around 10 weeks ??... that's going some.

Exactly and they were not small sales either ,several directors selling at the same time at a time when people were looking to them for support is not good.These people have major wealth particularly Seb so the idea that he may have sold because he needed the money even though he still thought the shares were going higher does not hold water with me.Actions speak louder than words.

Tim 3. I agree with you entirely. Management tell us how fantastic they have been and continue to be while selling the shares and never giving an explanation. That speaks far louder than words.

Business accountability was supposed to improve following the credit crisis but I think it has got worse.

Top managers now seem to be like top footballers where they take the money and run to the highest bidder after becoming multi millionaires at relatively young ages.

We have a situation where shareholders take all the risk and often don't get much in the way of upside whereas managers take hardly any risk with there own cash but get all the upside in bonuses and wages and shares they were given of course.

"With consensus, sentiment and forecast too optimistic in the face of macro headwinds, positive catalysts are hard to find," Wow he certainly swallowed the management bullsh@t manual!

Severe reaction to a broker downgrade, but retail stocks are so fragile currently that it carries extra weight. Difficult to see them bouncing back soon.

Usually has to be a 10%+ change to require a statement.

[smartypants] 11/8/2017 09:09

What are the chances of one of them there old fashioned company statements..
"We know no reason for".......

[muscletrade] 11/8/2017 09:07

@smarty...probably correct.

[smartypants] 11/8/2017 09:05

Maybe the algorithms have linked/associated the stock to "Snapchat"
Just a thought ?

[swedeee] 11/8/2017 09:01

Christ!!!!

[muscletrade] 11/8/2017 08:58

Oh and i expect quite a few retail investor stop losses will have been triggered by the fall thereby adding to the selling pressure..just another thought.

[muscletrade] 11/8/2017 08:55

DC. buys a lot of their product from Samsung/south Korea.....a war with north Korea could be a tad disruptive. Combine with the downgrade and low volume mid august and whack!!! just a thought.

They are now at the Brexit spike low again.

Have suspected for a while this is what they were aiming for,this could be significant and we may see some of the shorters closing here imo.

[spoole5] 11/8/2017 08:20

The old trick of talking it down to buy them back cheaper!

[spoole5] 11/8/2017 08:16

That warrants a 7% drop?!

[spoole5] 11/8/2017 08:15

No news at all anywhere.

[spoole5] 11/8/2017 08:11

Why the drop?

[smartypants] 06/8/2017 13:04
