RM are not cheap.

Huge downside.

Some cheap looking shares around. Reminds of the Financial crisis - not as bad though.
We'll be looking at all these in a year or two thinking what bargains they were. ;))
Always the same. :)

whenever Mr Black buys RM shares they tank.

A really desperate sign him buying.

they need a share buy back program soon, if this get's under 150 the dividend yield gets back over 10%

[creditcrunchies] 23/5/2019 19:50

wait until the FTSE gets under 6K it'll be even cheaper :-)

Rico Black obviously thinks RMG shares are worth buying, 2 after hours RNS announcements show he today bought a total of 300000 shares! It would be good to see other directors buying shares also. I bought some more at £1.99 today.

This is a bargain at these prices. Almost 9% divi coming and 7.5% over the next few years. I'll be buying tomorrow.

Thee reality may be that we're one year into a bear market,and there's already some cracking bargains. Quite who's buying Dunelm over VOD/CNA I'll never know. But that's what makes markets

I think Hedge Fund Shorters are pushing stocks down to the limits due to the Political turmoil with Brexit.
Hard to get a good picture of everything with all this going on.

Right old mess. ;)

So stepso is a Brexitre

If we get a GE soon and the marxist leftie Corbyn gets in then its 0p as he nationalises it for nothing.

[blueball] 23/5/2019 15:57

My target is 120p in 2019.

[hermanngoring] 23/5/2019 15:55

I live in the middle of nowhere. I can order via Amazon prime before 8pm and its here the next day without fail and its not delivered by RM.

[mbalewala] 23/5/2019 15:51

...and I am still working there, 48 years:)

RM Mail centres are heavily unionised and quite frankly the majority of RM staff are lazy and unproductive.

Many of them are obese as well.

They know they are untouchable.

The use of mobile phones at the work place is a disgrace. It wouldn't allowed anywhere else.

Lots' of tea breaks

Lots of chit chat

Oh and I have seen this first hand as I work at a big mail centre regularly (not for RM)

[hermanngoring] 23/5/2019 15:00

Fair value 105p says leading broker !

WOW

[hermanngoring] 23/5/2019 14:58

Amazon are sharp minded, slick and ruthless, I wouldn't want to work for them and on principle do not use their services because I have seen how they operate.

RM given the culture and unionised workforce will not be able to undercut Amazon or offer a quicker service, their best chance is to play the 'trust' card. A reliable worker in a reassuring liveried red van is their best offering to the public, the commercial space is rather different, it's all about price and overhead costs. At the moment RM wins on sheer scale with over 40,000 vehicles, but there's an army of impoverished owner drivers out there that Amazon can lure in.
