Lookers Share Discussion Threads

Well, there's your news.

I read this as bad news but pre-market looks sanguine.

Not one for me.

[f15jcm] 03/2/2020 15:43

The other dealers weren't falling on Friday and not much movement from them today. Given the price action before previous announcements, there's clearly a market mole in the Lookers management team. Expect (bad) news!

[pdoc] 03/2/2020 14:55

I can't believe this is Brexit - the falls are too big. No doubt that the manoeuverings of the government to get the no deal they have always wanted is playing a part, the Fri and today is too big. Someone knows something. What the recent bottom we have had to endure - 41.6p? We are on the way there and worse.... Really this is not looking good at all.

Another big fall. Big news coming or is this just brexit problems (tariffs on cars, higher prices, lower sales, lower UK incomes)?

[f15jcm] 31/1/2020 20:00

Big fall on heavy volume today. This has been a leaky ship in the past, wouldn't be surprised to see some news in the near future.

[stdyeddy] 29/1/2020 15:19

I see that the non-exec directors are taking alternative jobs. Rats leaving the ship maybe?

The price action?, Well Tony's buying helped sentiment.
Trying to rationalise short term share price movements is often impossible.
I can't offer any particular insight on Lookers to be fair, luck with your holdings.

Sound like someone is sour at missing ted return to 100p

[f15jcm] 20/1/2020 11:36

Care to speculate on the price action essentialinvestor? Shorts closing in a relatively illiquid share have clearly played their part. TB buying clearly helpful too but now 40%+ above levels prior to the recent profit warnings which seems ridiculous when you factor in the general regulatory risk and FCA investigation specific to Lookers.

80p coming next

[f15jcm] 19/1/2020 20:50

H2 will see a loss

Still making money

[f15jcm] 19/1/2020 16:04

But it wasn't losing money this time last year

[essentialinvestor] 18/1/2020 13:03

Aware of that, just surprised by the % increase from last year's low given
the lack of any news. Held Lookers in the past so know the company.

[wton1] 17/1/2020 16:27

120p this time last year mate

[essentialinvestor] 17/1/2020 16:15

Even after 30 years doing this the stock market still surprises me.

I did post that they may try to screw those short, but did not see these levels,
outside of some major corporate developments.

[mastermasterbaker] 17/1/2020 16:13

Starting to rocker this one.

[essentialinvestor] 17/1/2020 16:10

Was going to add a few Vertu yesterday but held off.

[essentialinvestor] 17/1/2020 16:09

The share price is Up nearly 90% from the low.

Interesting SCSW mentioned the chairman buying have bought in here as well

[rudder] 06/1/2020 21:46

Thanks for info. Well he’s bought a few million over the last couple of months. Wonder what he knows.

[essentialinvestor] 06/1/2020 19:39

Peter Jones was Chairman of Vertu until recently, not the same person as on DD.
Prior to that he was Chairman of Lookers, from memory.

[rudder] 05/1/2020 20:08

Peter Jones, is this the guy off Dragons den who is investing heavily in lookers??.
