I'm sure that was past bedtime . Someone's not in bed!

Hello Ting Tong!

Nice to see you posting here again.

I nearly spelt your 'alias' with an 'a' instead of an 'o', but I'm sure you already know what you resemble.

"Scuttlebutt investor" lolI'm not sure that's quite right though. Maggie was not talking to anyone or listening to gossip or rumours. I have not read anything she has posted for weeks/months but I get the gist from other posters.When she first showed up here, she appeared to be a lonely little creature who claimed she shuffled daily past a GW shop somewhere but she was unable to recall what town it was in. Hmmm. She has now advanced to sitting on the pavement staring at unwashed windows, watching life and more exciting investment opportunities pass her by. Everyone she sees is having fun - that must be damned annoying. In her head she imagines also sorts of things which she develops into beliefs to justify her obsessions.On her headstone it will say "I told you the GW windows needed washing and I was right because the share price fell"

Games Workshop shop (in a very prosperous neighbourhood):

Yesterday afternoon (approx 4.30pm) -- no one in. And still the window hasn't been cleaned.

I think it's been like that since before Christmas.

Suggests the bloke in charge isn't taking care of the shop properly. Or that he isn't interested in image. Which is odd for a 'business'. That is the point about the uncleaned window!!

Little details, observed first hand, tell you more than any annual report ever could.

The same table display has been visible for months.

Personally, I cannot see that shop surviving.

It's a 'hobby' for sure. But how tenable is it as a business model?

Shall visit another one on Sat -- in a very central, very busy part of town, where , literally thousands of people throng (in town that is, not the shop) and let you know how busy they are.

It is interesting that no one at all has posted positive things about GAW for days!

Although the market, in general is poised precariously over a potential precipice, GAW, being ever so niche, could side-step most of the possible mayhem. It wouldn't surprise me if a bid came, at anytime. Totally, IMO, of course.

For someone not intrested in the hobbie you seem to be spending a lot of your time lurking aroung the store.

Be careful that you are not reported and subsequently arrested for child related offences.

Weekend is here: excited nerdkins are lying awake, on the one hand fantasising about bits of plastic they can paint/play with; on the other hand, distressed at not being able to afford the prices.


In one shop I saw a rather rotund older teen lording it over two little nerdlings and condescendingly spouting something about 'space marines'.

Hmm. Remind us why marines are called 'marines'?

[fenners66] 07/3/2014 18:29

Shroder - LOL thats the kind of response I like!

[2magpies] 07/3/2014 16:12

That lump may well have been taken by possible stake-builder.

Just guessing.

[shroder] 07/3/2014 12:50

I would imagine a window cleaner will clean it soon, either way it shouldn't make any difference to the structural integrity of the window.

It's been weeks and weeks.

Games workshop shop: window (that's the shop window, if you please) still not cleaned.

How on earth is it going to survive??

A lot of stock I wonder who's picking it up and when they will let the market know.

Without putting all Nomads buys and sells into Excel, I don't know what their overall profit is but is looks to be very positive. Certainly the past 12 months sales will have been very profitable.Anyway, Nomad has concluded with a quick exit of the next 5% which explains the selling yesterday.On the face of it Nomad didn't like Kirby becoming CEO again and began an exit. I wish I had followed them.Nomad were the major shareholder not long ago with 19%.

[trident5] 06/3/2014 23:33

Nod

have they made a profit? My recollection was that they bought a long time ago at around this level.

(Price is starting to look attractive - great margins and ROCE, but I always get nervous about the growth of the business. It still seems unclear as to the success of their US expansion. And I don't think the focus s/be on continued cost reduction - you can only take that so far).

[nod] 06/3/2014 20:32

Nomad still taking profits. They have drip fed sales over the past 12 months taking their holding down from 18% in Feb 2013 to just below 9% today. Their selling started when Tom Kirby took over as CEO and Chairman. Perhaps Nomad didn't like that idea.

[2magpies] 05/3/2014 16:49

A little bounce today.

Remains to be seen if this cat is actually dead.

[2magpies] 03/3/2014 16:59

Could more 'special needs' individuals benefit if the GAW product prices were much, much lower??

[2magpies] 03/3/2014 15:53

Thing is: it's the filthy ramper(s) + alias(es) who mislead so many into buying. All the while they keep selling on the qt.

And suddenly they stop posting as the share price slides.

Have you noticed??

have you noted who isn't posting anymore??


have you been left holding after being taken in by 'research'???

If so, your annoyance is very understandable.

[2magpies] 03/3/2014 15:40

Just wait and see if Mr Market has got this one right.

[oilyrag] 03/3/2014 15:11

Your not making yourself very aimiable either.

[2magpies] 03/3/2014 15:07

Yes, rampers are so obvious.

And their aliases too!

Just look how they post ramps disguised as 'research'.

But their ramp-a-delic spiel is far too easy to see through.



Right now, Mr. Market is not liking GAW.

[fenners66] 28/2/2014 13:17

I rarely refer to the "obvious type" posters by name for the reasons given above.

[2magpies] 27/2/2014 16:13

if all those blog entries (which purport to be from fervent/loyal customers) represent reliable, albeit anecdotal, evidence, then the prognosis isn't at all good, imo.

the entries are far too specific/detailed to be ignored altogether.
