How do you know the NAV is a correct figure? My primary reason for buying it at 70p a share was because the P/B was 0.83 at the time and I thought that was cheap for a company with good growth prospects. If those figures are wrong then the shares are not cheap.

Maximum buy 55,000 share

Taken 40,000@26.00p Net asset value is over 1.00 pound a share.

This should have been suspended last week, leaving it on the market has just meant the uncertainty has crucified it.

The last time this sock went up was 2006 my friend. It’s 2019. So I will revise my “it’s always been a dog” to “this has been a dog for 13 years” if you prefer.

"it’s always been a dog"

Well no it hasn't; it was almost eight times where it is now four years ago when most posters were touting it as a great growth stock with a big future, since when the NTAV has increased.

So while, as Eastbourne1982 says, the covenants mention is a worry, this thing we do is all about risk-reward and, personally, I think this is far more likely to double than to disappear. This is the game we play; I get quite a few right and some wrong - though far fewer of the latter than the former, thankfully.

On verra...

Banking covenants being smashed to pieces doesn't help either.

[john09] 12/3/2019 21:22

Wouldn’t touch this with yours, it’s always been a dog, unloved and underperformed as a business so throw in some fake accounting and woah why would you buy 🙄👌

[value hound] 12/3/2019 20:41

I disagree. I think what's happening is that other people presume what you're saying is true, so they sell and even a few small sales knock the price and sends it into auction as they're so thinly traded now.

Anyway, I bought a few at a little over 32p so time will tell...

"Accounting errors" look to be more serious than the RNS suggested!

Sliding down down down!

As part of the review of the results for the financial year ending 31 December 2018, the Board, together with the Auditors, are working to resolve certain accounting errors, and are reviewing some accounting practices and policies. It is likely that the Board will take a more prudent approach both for 2018 full year results and going forward.





this is where there is a black hole found

I think the lesson from this stock is never to buy any individual stocks. There is no way that you can ever be assured that there is no fraud occurring in the company. I've suffered big losses in the recent past from believing the false trading statements of various CEOs, but in the UK especially, there are very weak punishments for fraud.
Directors usually buy shares to deceive investors into following them, because their salaries are much higher than the amount they put into the shares. Even Mike Ashley and the North Atlantic Smaller companies Trust have been swindled by GOAL, so there is no advantage to being a professional investor. Over the long-term, no investment can beat the safety or return of being a buy-to-let landlord

I even had my fund managers in the City
Financial Absolute Equity Fund stealing from the till.

Yet another own goal again - So post 530 repeated and reinforced - Starting to smell like a dead duck!!
Teach me again to take all ANALYST'S pronouncements - rose tinted glasses etc with a VERY LARGE SACK OF SALT !!!!!

I never realised it'd be so damn hard to make a bob or two out of the two favourite pastimes of the English, beer and football. It's probably something to do with Brexit.

If this were a football team it would be languishing in the Scottish Lowland League one place behind Selkirk (who do not have a point!) :)

I guess I should stop underestimating GOAL's ability to disappoint.
