@phil:
hmmm...yes but that jess did also say "the only thing i'm good at is getting drunk" ;O) ;O)

so perhaps just pass the feedback (re product offers).... and those awful pics that are out there... directly to RTN/F&B where it may be of some use to their team:

every reason to remain concerned with the implementation of the National Living Wage, upcoming Brexit vote, the weak pound, changeable weather, poor footfall and consumers opting to spend disposable income on macdonalds

This chart looks good to me. A trend is a trend until it moves. Certainly some gaps here

[gary1966] 10/5/2016 19:49

Wouldn't mind some of those gaps on the chart above being filled.

Hopefully, talk gathers momentum

[che7win] 10/5/2016 16:14

Gary,
no thanks :-)

I really couldn't understand the fall yesterday as the broker note had nothing new from the recent broker forecasts since the profits warning.

All of us invested here I'm sure has listened to the conference call. Bad news I assume is priced in, three profits warnings, but really a lot of this fall is due to the growth premium it had.

I think some of it is due to cannibalisation, but P/E around 10 and 5% yield with recovery potential I couldn't ignore :-)

probably more to go...bears dropped the ball yesterday

tsmith2, Obviously I wouldn't but I will get paid what somebody else tells me! :-(

[gary1966] 10/5/2016 15:25

Looks like the story is starting to get some traction. Rest assured the small PI will be the last to know.

che7win, I bought too many at 445p a while ago. Do you want to swap position? :-)

GLA

[tsmith2] 10/5/2016 15:25

I'd settle for £4

[che7win] 10/5/2016 15:09

I should have bought more at 265p yesterday...with 10p dividend coming next month.

[abcd1234] 10/5/2016 14:49

as they said regarding private equity interest in RTN, on the FT yesterday: Now would not be the time to be short

[dlku] 10/5/2016 14:28

one more profit warning, boardroom shakeup, ceo and fd resigning ?

[philanderer] 10/5/2016 13:36

So I suppose the only good thing re no directors buying is that it would look very strange if they did and an offer for the company came shortly after.

We live in hope that something is going on behind the scenes ;-)

"...Among the mid caps, Restaurant Group has risen 9.2p to 283p, recovering some ground after its recent profit warning, amid vague takeover talk in the wake of its recent share price slump."

[philanderer] 10/5/2016 11:12

A right old churn on the shares ... 1 million printed so far.

[che7win] 10/5/2016 10:38

Looks delicious!

[abcd1234] 10/5/2016 10:25

indeed, that looks a little too sweet for this time of the morn ;O)

[philanderer] 10/5/2016 10:00

I Mean , WTF ??

[philanderer] 10/5/2016 09:56

Morning ab, no not short at all - far from it.

Long from an average of 392p and would take a 400p offer to get out of this mess . Didn`t realise F & B's had been let to get in such a shambles

Good to see for a change...

Telegraph market report:

"....Restaurant Group suffered a downgrade at the hands of UBS, following its profit warning on April 29. The investment bank believes competition is the key driver behind the varied performance within the Frankie & Benny’s estate. However, Heidi Richardson, of UBS, warned: “We are cautious on the near term potential for a like-for-like turnaround.” Shares dropped 3.3pc to 273.8p. "
