Oooof. 300p was there briefly.

[yump] 12/12/2019 21:16

:-)

Be interesting to see if the whole market jumps, because if sterling jumps that's not so good for exporters.

[chiefbrody] 12/12/2019 19:58

Around 1000p for FTSE 100 yump so a few months yet ;-)Fingers crossed for the right result on the morning. If the whole market jumps 300p could well be seen (briefly).

[chiefbrody] 12/12/2019 19:54

Wowza. Been away for a few days and this. Did someone say 300p feels inevitable lol.

o/t
I'm waiting on Halfords a bit - think the move to partly service strategy has obvious parallels with PETS, but I don't think anything stunning will happen to rocket the share price
(famous last etc..) May have to just take a value view, buy some, sit on hands for a year or so.

[yump] 12/12/2019 17:29

I'm not looking anymore its too painful looking at 'what I could have won'. At this rate PETS will get into the FTSE100. Well done to those who hung on !

If they do pull back

[sao1] 12/12/2019 15:46

Big run today. Sold after 2 years! Hopefully buy back in during pullback! Thanks for the tip on Halford. Spend a few hours listening into their last results call in November. Very compelling "service" focussed proposition going forward.

yump - I think there are so few retailers getting it right that this one is sucking in some major investors. I just hope there are no bumps ahead. If Labour gets in expect a sell off.

[yump] 12/12/2019 10:37

Stunning performance here - can't believe it. You'd think it was going bust at 120p and then suddenly invented a new fangled something, that has put it on a high growth path.

Presumably the long rise is because the view of funds runs on a much longer cycle than the sentiment of pi's. So if a share is subject to large holdings by funds it can go down for much longer and up for much longer than a mainly pi held share (many of those seem to be in favour one month and out the next).

What I really want to know is whether my BAB and SAGA shares are going to recover in the same way as this has ! EZJ is half way there. Still haven't bought any HFD as it seems really quiet in my local one.

[sao1] 11/12/2019 18:30

What's the fame with Schroders today? Buy then sell?

[chiefbrody] 09/12/2019 19:53

Yup. Nice.A good xmas trading and feels like 300p is kind of inevitable.Cue the drop lol

[sao1] 09/12/2019 16:40

52 week high!

[sao1] 03/12/2019 18:28

Thanks for sharing.

Be a bit dangerous to short it if my theory about fund money looking for a home in retail is right. They have to have a proportion in retail, so do they buy bombed out stuff that might or might not recover, or just go for something that looks safe ?

Clothing and shoes are high risk. Commercial property is on a downer (eg intu). Online retail is overblown and might be at the end of its most lucrative investment period. BOWL is sort of retail. HFD is, but jury out. Are there any other physical or part physical retail businesses that are worth buying ? Merlin's gone. There's pubs I guess.

There's the 'insurance against doom' businesses, such as RFX, MCL etc. - again, not pure retail.

Time to start shorting ?

[yump] 01/12/2019 17:23

I just looked up 'plant a tree in 73' as I remember it when I was at school. That was to do with Dutch Elm disease killing off trees. Apparently there was something in 2010 as well. It all seems a bit random. No consistency. Obviously we can't do any planting in the rain forests, but we could all do something here if we knew where and which trees etc. etc.

Will stop there - nothing to do with PETS.

Wouldn't know at all what to do now if I was still holding. Wait a big greedily for that extra 40p to 300p, or take profits...?

[chiefbrody] 01/12/2019 13:26

Keep all off the above.World just needs to slow down on giving birth. I've had to kids and won't ever have any.Done more than fair share already so 10 flights a year aint gonna bother me.

[yump] 01/12/2019 11:44

Its the soft food pouches. We’re changing as a result. Maybe not a big effect but not keen on the shipping particularly. In the shocking absence of any public information booklet or cross-party website detailing how we can all help the environment in different and small ways we’ll have to figure out our own priorities.

O/t but its time the politicians pointed at us and said ‘what are you going to do?’, as we have become a ‘someone (else) should do something’.

Time to ditch the wood burning stove, refuse to give kids a lift to school when its raining and stop being all ‘concernedR17; about climate, except when its in our back yard.

Sorry about rant but have fallen out with precious nimby family member yesterday. Threatened to extinguish the wood burning stove when we arrived for dinner.

I use Wainwrights and James W for my cats.No issues here. Cats love it.

[stevesham] 01/12/2019 06:17

Just to clarify, I always have Wainwrights for my dogs and just checked the packaging and it clearly states "Produced in the UK for Wainwrights" along with a Union Jack, my dogs love it, their health and well being is fantastic,just had their annual checks at the Vets and all is good, so will continue to buy it.

[ignoble] 30/11/2019 16:49

Surprising...to say the least
Just shows that it pays to read the label
Think my wife buys Royal Canin,
I will be checking

[chiefbrody] 28/11/2019 14:04

Seemingly no stopping this at the moment. Doubled in 9 months.Hell even those crooks at GS have had to eat humble pie.

[niggle] 28/11/2019 12:19

I agree with the £3 level barring accidents.
