Apart from a pharmacy what is the number one consumer product that is best bought in a shop?

answer:

School shoes.

GLAVEY the super spreader sharing more of his hilarious negative drivel on at least 8 different share chats this week. Why not round it up to a cool 10?? I can only assume the poor chap gets bullied in real life and vents via his keyboard, IMO of course.

"No one write anything pro or neg for a month on SHOE."

Well, you managed to sustain that for around 2hrs 40m... :-)

Anyway, not sure what we might expect to see by 16th April, other than millions of mums with their 6 million kids storming shoe shops if we are to believe NC.

IMO There are going to be a few eating the large slice of humble pie in a few short weeks. I think they'll regret being so forceful in their comments at this point as it will be highly embarrassing if this goes the way I believe it will. Obviously always a risk with retailers but as stated before the risks are minimal for anyone looking for a stock that's presently well under valued.

Goon has no money shorted SAGA at 3.00.it backfired and now trying to short SHOE just as the economy opens.What a clown

A typical penny stock comment.

[cleverinvester] 16/3/2021 14:21

[fjgooner] 16/3/2021 13:38

Why? Failing retailers are going down every day - luvverly jubberly for any short.

Millions of people with young kids continuously
need new shoes.

Badly fitting shoes can damage feet so best to
buy shoes in a shop.

The number of children in the UK is projected to
grow up until 2025 (eg for another 4 years).


SHOE Shops open in about 24 days.

Clock is ticking towards retail boom.

shorts will need to be covered.
😊

Yes FJGOON on the wrong bb ..think he's loosing the plot. Shorted SAGA at 3.00 and didn't work out

[fjgooner] 16/3/2021 12:35

No wonder SHOE falling clevInvester a long time poster is shorting it at 60 and is also shorting CNA

[cleverinvester] 16/3/2021 12:34

[fjgooner] 16/3/2021 12:06

Retail tanking. Thorntons now have thrown in the towel - others will follow.

Checking out some comments from long term posters on the LSE BB. It's grim reading for SHOE.

Fevertreeman says:

Tend to agree with you - the FD's exit was the sign for me this was in trouble, and I suspect he told the family what they didn't want to hear. Am glad I got out when I did.

draft says:

the loss is huge compared to their size of company
the pension deficit large
shops still to open
nodivided till 2025
theyve said it themselves, its not going to be easy

TigerByTheTail says:

I've looked at this and I've decided that it's not for me. They were an excellent profitable dividend-paying company, but Covid has done too much damage. Really, they need to raise fresh equity to pay off some debt and to start over. But, no, they are going to struggle on, closing stores and avoiding all but the most crucial Capex, in the hope that in a few years' time they'll be able to pay dividends again. I'm not buying it. Zombiedom here we come.

They are turning into a corporate zombie.

NicName says:

Given the comments of the Company it seems this business will be troubled for a while. A small drop-off in revenue seems to result in a fair amount of loss. The situation for 2021 isn't going to be much better than 2020 as shops may have only traded for 3/4 of the year and on-line sales are small. This was a dividend payer, but the company thinks they won't return to that until 2025. Probably best to wait and see what they report at the interims.

net, I do not play by others rules. :-)

[jere8184] 16/3/2021 09:50

The company makes 5 million profit on a bad year (pre covid), I dont think reaching those figures agian in the near future are impossible. I understand why it could trade at a low P/E due to how shaky it seems to be + its in an industry with a negative sentiment, but I wouldn't say theres no value when the market cap is around 30 million.

[netcurtains] 16/3/2021 09:49

CT: Your breaking the rule. No one is to ramp or deramp until 16th April.
Lets see who wins.

[clocktower] 16/3/2021 09:40

Volumes depressed I notice, so the main promoters of pie in the sky numbers seem to have sold out and taken their hansom profits I guess when it hot around 80p - which in itself was a remarkable achievement.

Until there is more bad news I guess it will just stall or slide a little as some holders get bored of dreaming the impossible dream and take the loss on the chin.

Good Luck netcurtains. :-)

[cleverinvester] 16/3/2021 08:02

good morning. Where is that idiot GOON this morning? What's shoes got to do with a chocolate shop?Goon shorted SAGA at 3.00 and it backfired and now shoe backfired.I do hope he shorted my other one Costain. Just love to see him suffer.

[netcurtains] 16/3/2021 07:58

The SHOE is on the other foot..

Ha Ha ha..

Let those SHOEs do the walking...

No one write anything pro or neg
for a month on SHOE.

Lets see who wins by 16th April?

Deal?

[glavey] 16/3/2021 05:37

"RSI now..."

Not surprised, and you must be exhausted with all that ramping. Maybe time to give your fingers a rest.

[netcurtains] 15/3/2021 20:51

This is looking good for HOTC and SHOE - Thanks for sharing.

Retail casualties

Thorntons is just the latest well-known name to suffer the impact that rolling lockdowns have had on the High Street as more people take to shopping online.

More than 17,500 chain stores and other venues closed in Great Britain last year, according to figures from the Local Data Company. That is an average rate of 48 closures a day.

Last week, department store chain John Lewis announced plans to close more stores. Other casualties have included Sir Philip Green's retail empire, Arcadia, which included Topshop and Dorothy Perkins.

[fjgooner] 15/3/2021 20:27

It looks like retail will continue to face obstacles on the High Street that are too severe to survive.

Thorntons: Chocolate maker to close all shops putting 600 jobs at risk



Chocolate maker Thorntons has said none of its stores will reopen after coronavirus lockdowns are lifted.

The decision to close its 61 shops will put more than 600 jobs at risk.

The company said it had been badly hit by the pandemic, which forced its stores to shut their doors during the crucial Christmas and Easter holidays.

"The obstacles we have faced and will continue to face on the High Street are too severe," said Thorntons retail director Adam Goddard.

"Despite our best efforts we have taken the difficult decision to permanently close our retail store estate."
