Mothercare Share Discussion Threads

Can do that for them:

"We know exactly why the share price keeps on dropping. Its because many funds and investors have sold out and are continuing selling and nobody wants to buy, because the outlook statement was pretty gloomy. As a result £50,000 of share sales can drop the price significantly."

Although I think some people are capable of working that out for themselves.

Company needs to comment on this drop

Fortunately I have some investments where, if I draw the trendline in, I get infinity.

Not much point in a debate here by the look of it.

not looking good here

[discodave4] 27/2/2018 22:01

Apologies, make that a 33% loss for CFO & CEO.

[ltcm1] 27/2/2018 14:57

Richard Griffiths has also go 15% in Ceres power, who have been trying and failing to reinvent the boiler for about ten years. 3% in Chariot Oil and Gas, which tanked 28% yesterday.

Griffiths - he's just like any other PI and will have his fair share of duds and losers.

He's done his dough here and no amount of averaging down will get him out of this particular hole.

Management bought decent chunks above 50p recently. Griffiths as well

[ltcm1] 27/2/2018 14:01

If you draw a trendline on this one you get zero!

DD Dealy's been long and wrong on this one since 300 plus a RI. One poster even thought he had the chart upside down.

Equity wipeout on way here.

How do you know I wasn't!.Are you long here?, guess you are. Most of the best bottom pickers are still sitting on their hands.....or turned their heads ages ago and thought, no chance.So, what's their cash burn?, what's their covenants (I'm guessing £50m is it, or near enough), how long until a fund raise? (not long IMO).DD

Trade sale is a strong possibility at this level. But go ahead and short a 650m GBP revenue company at an enterprise value below 100m

[yump] 27/2/2018 08:35

Would have thought the best shorters were in action much higher up.

[discodave4] 27/2/2018 08:13

This looks in a desperate state. £50m net debt on £1m-£5m profit, only about £17.5m remaining on their credit facility and debt going up at £2m/month minimum, so not long before an equity raise or this folds.Yes I'm shorting this.DD

Yump the share price has declined every single day since Dealy started posting and the short interest has increased. Blackrock must be monitoring his posts.

Debs are the UK's biggest seller of lipstick. Also they work with some quality designers. Their main issue is size of store, they are locked into a lot of big stores at high rents. But unlike mtc they do make profits and pay dividends.

For me mtc are far more a disaster of their own making. It is not easy to understand how they have made a disaster of such a well liked brand.

[essentialinvestor] 26/2/2018 15:57

Yump, my point was he's just having a laugh,
not that his posts have a bearing on a share price

[ltcm1] 26/2/2018 14:31

What is worrying me is Dealy has been a LTH in Lonmin these last 10 years. Now he is touting mtc it has promoted a wave of selling.

Yump I think the worries must be on the cash flow side rather than the debt then. Must be why mtc are falling while Debenhams are more stable of late.

Fenner, his style reels a lot of people in understandably.

Well done for at least attempting to warn people on the CLLN board.

[dealy] 26/2/2018 14:23

In 2003 to 2006 dozens of stocks like this recovered massively

[fenners66] 26/2/2018 14:21

Essential - I did wonder similarly about dealy on the CLLN thread , but he was claiming to be buying there at various prices.

Itcm - I came on here a few weeks ago to say that he is a contra-indicator - he has not let that statement down

I really should have shorted !

MTC should be the first to notice any decline in pregnancies if the report is anything to go by.However it is all about market share.
