BIDZ coming ....... 😳😳

[chinahere] 20/10/2020 15:12

There were quite a few under 100k traded days in September but I agree they are low now.

[dealy] 20/10/2020 14:48

Tell me honestly people if you think it's normal that apart from Jim's shares basically nothing has been traded since Thursday?13,000 shares today. Something is going on. HRNET offer by considered by the remaining large shareholders? All barred from trading whilst they negotiate?

"All systems go"

We'll need to see a reliable vaccine and a treatment in use before that statement kicks in, my guess 2nd quarter 2021 at best.

That said I agree with the comment above that we should see a spike in Staffing needs Christmas & New Year, because the young and fit will want to celebrate both to the full, personally I've enjoyed seventy odd Christmases and New Years so I don't mind missing one this year :)

good luck Jim

[dealy] 20/10/2020 09:47

I agree with that. Contingent workforce is the best strategy in times of uncertainty . Apart from hospitality and travel it's all systems go for the rich economies.

atm Staf is a Hold or of you've the cash a Buy, we know the job market will eventually recover and in my experience the best way to find good staff is to hire temps and see how they perform prior to making a full time offer.

[mubz] 20/10/2020 09:26

Jim good luck. Sorry to see you had to sell. We definitely need some good luck here by the looks of it. Seems strange with all the good news how this has been held back

[dealy] 20/10/2020 09:03

I wonder does the company engage in anything that could be remotely described as investor relations e.g. communication with institutional investors with a view to garnering interest in the stock?

[jimbarlow78] 20/10/2020 05:48

This will fly soon, you know why? I sold all my shares yesterday. I feel right now inevitably jobs are being lost everywhere. But Xmas will see a surge in temp staff as usual and I think from then on it will pick up with government forcing the issue. So expect a takeover bid anyday now since I have been waiting for one for 13 months lol. Will keep an eye on it. Good luck, but not too much :)

so 5 million renters can lose lose their jobs and house prices won't be affected? I'm lost

[gbh2] 19/10/2020 15:22

Because the type of jobs that are & have disappeared are mostly service sector jobs and these folk usually rent - I know broad brush strokes and there will always be exceptions, bottom line time will tell.

[mubz] 19/10/2020 15:10

And also why are the government asking companies to re tender for government employment contracts.

[dealy] 19/10/2020 14:48

so if there are no jobs why are house prices not crashing?

[gbh2] 19/10/2020 14:21

The thing that doesn't add up is Employment needs, people are being laid off Nationally and until that reverses staf imo is a Hold at best.

[caradog] 19/10/2020 13:57

. Edited, wrong thread

[gutterhead] 19/10/2020 13:56

Jim
The sausage needs to see the mustard

[jimbarlow78] 19/10/2020 13:02

The news 2 weeks ago today was the first positive bit of news in 15 months and yet it is the same price as before it. It makes no sense. Zero demand. Something doesnt add up.

[dealy] 19/10/2020 12:17

there are always sellers in any stock (people who have bills to pay, funds that get redemptions, T20 closers etc). My question is: where are the buyers?

[mubz] 19/10/2020 12:14

Dropping yet again. Seller needs to pee off

[dealy] 18/10/2020 14:48

Even if a brand new business entered this space it would still have to a) invest in the distribution network and brand b) invest in the whole billing operations and c) obtain AR financingThat alone would cost 50m

[dealy] 18/10/2020 13:40

about 35m net debt excluding VAT loan. Most of that is just receivables financing

[chinahere] 18/10/2020 13:21

There's still a chunk of debt though - isn't it around £90 million excluding the VAT deferment?

[dealy] 18/10/2020 12:34

The company has a good reputation as well among its customers. Scale and nationwide coverage are also important. Tesco want a one stop shop for drivers, warehouse staff etc. They don't want 10 small suppliers. The market cap is so low here that doubling the share price only adds 17m in market cap.
