Perhaps GS had to stand down as they advising a potential bidder ? (he says hopefully!)

[muchodinero] 01/11/2018 09:19

So why bother having PETS on their radar. GS haven't got over being sacked IMHO

[staylow2] 01/11/2018 09:10

Yeah, sure that global conglomerate will be holding meeting after meeting about PETS

[muchodinero] 01/11/2018 08:21

GS have an appalling track record. How much did they lose in the credit crunch. No wonder PETS sacked them. They are still very bitter even after 18months.

My holding in Pets has been involved in a car crash too

Princess Diana has been killed in a car crash

Goldman's downgrade FYI

[creditcrunchies] 31/10/2018 18:25

Massive volume today so there must have a huge block of stock being worked through the day to cause it go bid down

You are right muchodinero, see

I posted months ago that this share is under distribution - holding shares in persistent downtrends will lose you money in the long run

[muchodinero] 31/10/2018 16:49

Well what the hell was that ride down to 102p all about? GS and their short friends have played a blinder today. What have they got planned for tomorrow I wonder???

[yump] 31/10/2018 14:16

The idea of shorting is self-fulfilling to some extent in the same way that ramping is, although ramping is less transparent. The shorting itself, because its very public, causes selling, regardless of the business, so they have a head-start in making money, even if subsequently there is nothing wrong. Add a few things that shorters can pick holes in and hey presto.

[muchodinero] 31/10/2018 13:07

I think Goldman were sacked as brokers so just sticking the knife in maybe?

[creditcrunchies] 31/10/2018 12:55

So owners have started starving their pets can't see what else could produce a profit warning

Biggest Short in UK hxxps://shorttracker.co.uk/companies/?sort=2&d=desc

Results 29th Nov, so if any profit warning has to be 2 weeks before then ( i think)

Not sure what all the short professionals know but they have got it right so far. This is a long term position for me now. I am maxed out at 10% of my Portfolio so I can only sit and watch

[creditcrunchies] 31/10/2018 10:32

Looks like a large dump of stock going through today which will show up at the close

[spookies] 31/10/2018 08:08

New low today. Where will it end? Decided to add a few more.

[montyhedge] 30/10/2018 19:41

Seems they are slowly jumping ship.

[muchodinero] 26/10/2018 21:14

Blackrock reducing again today. Will others follow?

[dplewis1] 24/10/2018 22:22

PVG didn't have such a great day though.

[muchodinero] 24/10/2018 21:35

Well hot of the press today. Another PE bid for vets business. The third this year. Valuation £1.5billion with about half the number of vets as PETS. So as I worked out last week PETS current valuation is a total nonsense. The vets business alone is worth about double the current valuation, of PETS, that means that the retail and online business is being valued at less than zero £. Aimho adyor!. I hope this makes the shorts nervous!

No they r not drop in the ocean mate, not for him. He might have left the position, but if he still holds those shares, means he still believes in companys performance. And what he thinks, still is important.

[muchodinero] 24/10/2018 15:20

It doesn't really matter whether he sold or not. His 4million shares a just a drop in the ocean.

[sanjnet] 24/10/2018 14:22

When the last CEO resigned end of last year, he had large holdings in PETS. If he sold some or all his his shares, does he still has to declare and will it show up on pets RNS?

[dplewis1] 23/10/2018 17:31

Shorts are on a win win at the moment. Even if PETS is ok the wider market drags it down. Very grim day all round for my PF, I can't imagine anyone is happy at the moment though unless they've got a 3x leveraged FTSE short ETF!
