Not too sure Henry Spain will have it though

[gripfit] 22/1/2024 18:09

Lol …. 15p

[casholaa] 22/1/2024 16:31

Good luck for tomorrow everyone! Let's hope for a 30p open.

[casholaa] 22/1/2024 15:54

If it goes the other way though, you'll have a lot of whinging and whining on here from me about margins, salaries, shares options and gravy trains!

[casholaa] 22/1/2024 15:51

Not if it gets to 30p! hehehehe

[edukelis] 22/1/2024 15:43

Then we won’t see you here after tomorrow lol 🤞

[casholaa] 22/1/2024 15:05

My target is 30p +/-1p - just like last time!

[edukelis] 22/1/2024 14:52

Let’s hope sellers will be proved wrong tomorrow

[casholaa] 22/1/2024 14:44

Never say never! I see it as a total gamble. Lack of 'news flow' from them doesn't help. If they haven't been able to deliver, hopefully a takeover will come about and replace the board and management as there's no amount of yap-yap garbage that would nurse the share price and lack of performance.

[edukelis] 22/1/2024 14:32

day started with 26p and will end up with 23, looks like nothing good to expect tomorrow

[casholaa] 22/1/2024 14:15

hehehe yeah. But the point is that, we perpetually need more people working to fund pensioners (I don't begrudge this) hence the hit we've taken from brexit and moreover, explains why the Government has raised the minimum salary requirements for migration... why have 5 low-paid people working for each pensioner when you could aim for 2 well paid foreigners instead... it's hilarious, they should just be honest and tell people that we have a pyramid scheme system.

"Misleading names mean that people tend to not view the State Pension as a benefit when in reality it is. The State Pension is a handout from the government paid for by current taxpayers just like Universal Credit (albeit much more generous)."

The author of that piece, Ben "fishpaste" Ramanauskas, is often platformed in the ultra-woke CityAM (AGW emotive-prop. a speciality) and I think is less than balanced in the above article at least as regards the quote. Pensioners paid tax and it could have been invested - if it wasn't used to pay off the claims of banks creating money out of thin air and then charging Govt. interest on it.

As you said.



How do you place presumably "undocumented workers" in sectors like "care, construction and farming"?!?

Without wanting to misinterpret him my vague recollection is that Paul Scott said of STAF that it's basically a pass-through company for low-paid contract workers hence the gossamer thin margins. And when previously STAF's chart was flying high, maybe it was explained...? by this:

Exacta mente. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that at least one of those people that arrive on boats could navigate the company to a higher share price

Grant of Options under Long-Term Incentive Plan
July 2021 - 1,678,279 issued to 5 directors share price at the time was 60p
May 2022 - 2,899,725 shares issued to 5 directors, share price at the time was 50p
if that's not enough
February 2023 - 4,709,040 shares issued to 5 directors for long term Incentive plan, share price at the time was 38p
So as you can see, they were keep issuing themself bonuses for long term incentive plan if they achieve 50% of the Options awarded are subject to achieving earnings per share hurdles and 50% are subject to achieving EBITDA hurdles
Since 2021 share price have tripled down, and as the price goes down they keep issuing more shares to themselves...
How many shares they will issue to themselves this year as the share price is 25p, 6-7m more?

[casholaa] 22/1/2024 11:58

Well I'm not expecting much. I'm prepared for a 20% loss. It's what emr indicated in there TU which is concerning. However, my understanding from staf is that they were working on the basis of temp contracts as being the focus for H2 23 onward. Their margins are s.hit though and from a shareholder point of view, I'd say that the management and board salaries and bonuses are rendered grotesque when compared to share performance.

[edukelis] 22/1/2024 11:49

2.2p for 2022

[casholaa] 22/1/2024 11:25

What was last year's eps then?

[gripfit] 22/1/2024 10:53

And share price target??

[aishah] 22/1/2024 10:40

SCSW made STAF(@23p) a 2024 NAP citing Zeus fcst eps of 4.1p for a p/e of 6

[gripfit] 22/1/2024 10:03

Shorts being placed????

[paul tudor jones] 22/1/2024 01:23

It could be quite lucrative for any recruitment companies involved in the governance of migrant employment.

[casholaa] 21/1/2024 21:41

Not sure about that, emr doesn't have the same board. It's a complete gamble for me. Could go to 15p could go to 30p... spin the wheel!
