I'm very sorry. I made up that bit about Woodford selling PURP in order to frighten people into selling their shares. I've had a short in on this and all the Woodford funds for some time, so I'm getting reeally, really desperate.

itcm1,

If Woodford starts to sell all bets are off!

[ltcm1] 03/7/2018 09:38

I don't disbelieve you. But then I have always argued our personal positions or non positions are of no consequence anyway.

There is the possibility of Woodford selling down his holding as he is facing cash calls on many of the other businesses he has invested into in his WPCT fund.

you won't believe me, but I did sell some close to 400p. I was saying then, that there was a downside as well as an upside risk. But at 270 they look tasty, and are probably interesting at this level too.

[ltcm1] 02/7/2018 17:29

Just a pity you didn't sell at 400!

You would expect support, only there has been a rights issue and are they burning through too much cash??? Also the dilution has taken some of the fun out of it.

[rogthepodge] 02/7/2018 16:53

buying opportunity. Looks like pretty solid support around here. Worked when I bought last at 270

Rog I suggest you get down to B&Q today and purchase some acro props and a hard hat.

It's only you keeping PURP up!!!

[andy] 30/6/2018 21:12

No idea Rog, do you?


Not something you mention in polite company!

[rogthepodge] 30/6/2018 17:05

do I sniff desperation!

[rogthepodge] 30/6/2018 17:05

one day you might be right

stopped clock, and all that

[bbmsionlypostafter] 30/6/2018 16:12

260 by Friday.

you know nothing about my standards and motivations, Chris

and I certainly do not! T.W. certainly does not share my standards

[pdqproperty] 30/6/2018 14:58

I don't own any PURP shares so have no financial interest in PURP rising or falling. The Tesco decision was taken out of my hands, we'll never know whether it would have worked or not. No sour grapes, I earned a very good living whilst working there and had a great time with some wonderful people. Don't assume that everyone shares your own standards and motivations.

[rogthepodge] 30/6/2018 14:20

PURP is expanding in the U.S. so clearly no troubles in its biggest markets

and if Share Prophets says something, it must be true LOL

clearly T.W. is an honourable journalist with integrity!

I thought he was a spiv fund manager, who was sacked, now pretending to be a journalist, as journalists aren't regulated by F.C.A.?

If you take a look at my Twitter feed today, you will see examples taken from #PURP LPE and customer contracts/ PURP website statements that clearly show close correlations with the HERMES tribunal case and,that PURP are making a 24/7 promise that I believe they are unable to deliver without potentially breaking several laws including working hours and minimum pay etc.

Incoming bad news. I wonder how they'll attempt to dress this up.



"Eight" it turns out is the magic number for Purplebricks agents, but most of them aren't getting close. That's the number of listings (six in South Australia and WA) each agent is expected to secure every month to help the fixed-fee agency achieve 650 national listings a month, internal sales reports obtained by The Australian Financial Review show.

But the report, which covers the period from June 1 -18, shows that only a 176 listings had been secured over the period – just over a quarter of the monthly target – with sales numbers (125 out of a target of 423) also well down.

More than half way through June, 23 out of 85 agents had yet to secure a single listing, while 15 agents had secured just one listing and 17 agents two listings – numbers which indicate how tough it is for many agents to earn a living and why so many are quitting.

rog don't hold this over the weekend, could be market mayhem on Monday.

Cash out rog and buy at 260 when the dust has settled.

[rogthepodge] 27/6/2018 21:58

Typical estate agents, if true!

[topvest] 27/6/2018 20:33

11 times in 3 years. Hmm - see what I mean!

[rogthepodge] 27/6/2018 14:13
