Well they need to rejuvenate the high streets because they are dying off. Too many big names are going under and that is infrastructure that is unlikely to be replaced. Online shops tend to avoid paying tax yet real shops generate jobs, provide a valuable community service and sustain people traffic that feeds coffee shops, pubs and restaurants. People might save 20% but the knock on effects of depressed city centres up and down the country is hard to equate.

Retailers going to get a break in the budget by all accounts.

I want you sing that at my funeral, while the bots blow out my candelstick patterns in a lower low formation! so emojional!

Mean while the markets are just going higher. If your looking for value after a good gain elsewhere, MTC could be a good place to start.

Oh yea it never happens, which is why you frequently see buys and sells totalling 10-50 shares multiple times over the course of the day. Low volume shares are like a candle in the wind, never knowing where they are going until the trading bots kick in :-)

95 - 97p here we come.

I thought manipulation didn't happen?! FCA say it is a 'fair and regulated market'. Of course the more experienced traders among us know it happens all the time. 92p to 105p in no time and now going back down. All on the back of no news! In terms of takeover bid in 2014 it was £270M which = 160p today. Most would accept 150p+

Been manipulated by trading bots last few weeks. I think we'll see it pulled back to 97p before end of week.

Starting to wake up now. From what i gather, online sales should be up on last year. Instore should also be healthy.

[kmann] 12/10/2017 13:07

Well seems to be moving up now ahead of next announcement. High street fairing better than expected. Online ok. Babyboom in Ireland, Russia, China, and middle east now has higher/stable oil prices.

Those large holders buying by stealth now? How many more "done a Richard Griffiths" and doubled up? Could be fewer share on the open market now.

The 300p share bid was when there were half the amount of shares. They had a placing.

[justiceforthemany] 09/10/2017 19:12

300p/share bid only in 2014 by US firm. Well pound is weaker now and share price a lot lower so bizarre they have not bid again? Thoughts on this? Seems mad to me. Even 150p could get the job done.

[justiceforthemany] 09/10/2017 19:09

Added also today. Surprised it has fallen so far @ 92p
At worse I make this trading at 9x earnings. Takeover possible also IMO . Update next month. Predict UK outlook improving, Middle East flat.

[dealy] 18/9/2017 16:03

This is falling on boredom. Fundamentals are good. Also added today

I doubled my holding today. Cheap at this price and 120 within a few months easily on the card, recent director buys adds confidence there will be no surprises..

[yump] 23/8/2017 16:19

Oh well, lets have a list of all the ones doing well and all those that aren't.
That would really help investment decisions.

[dealy] 22/8/2017 09:00

No volume. Company is doing fine and is dirt cheap. All the small caps doing the same thing

[xc1] 21/8/2017 17:00

not looking good here, has richard griffiths sold out, perhaps.

[justiceforthemany] 03/8/2017 19:13

With the UK business now recording a profit in H2 of £4.4M instead of losses surely this puts projected profit around £20M for the full year?

EPS ~ 13.7p

Forward P/E of 7.3

May explain why the directors have all been buying also.

[terminated] 27/7/2017 10:56

That gap won't get filled for a very long time. 120-130 on the cards again in the next month though imo.

[sux_2bu] 24/7/2017 17:42

This is a buy to fill the gap at 165p. Bumpy ride tho.

[bone apart] 21/7/2017 21:46

Plus CEO bought 95,000@ 105p.
