RE: No Meat Left On The BonePersonal take on events from ThursdayMM advising the market 2.30pm Thursday that the results will be out within 7 days but allowing only 2 trading days for Shorts to close was quite telling, suggest Shorts may have been hoping the results would be delayed causing confusion, the RNS caught them out and they have had to digest the informationPut aside the volume dropped off Thursday afternoon as we entereda 4 day national holiday it would have been difficult to trade outside market size.As we all know THG have filed a report to the Regulators regarding Shorting Activity on THG stock, so we know it's personal to MM.Disclosed Shorts would need to purchase 14M plus shares before Thursday to close their position, we can assume there are others with non disclosed positions that are under the threshold of disclosure.There is no way the Shorts could BID on 14M shares, could even higher required volume, the stock just isn't there in a 2 day trading window.IF MM pulls a rabbit out of the hat - corporate restructuring enhancing shareholder value - on Thursday the losses for the Shorts could be comparably high as a combined quantumThe ' non ' story in the ST -in my opinion - smacks of desperation by interested parties attempting to subdue the share price to attempt to cover / trade their downside, all possible via lazy journalism being spoon fed a ' copy & paste ' article by a PR agency who's clients have an agenda.The Market Makers will try and flush out a few first thing Tuesday but suggest most Longs are holding out for the update on Thursday and as such the Shorts may have to up the BID to get the volume they require.This could get quite messy for the Shorts

What would the motivation be for an article like that? Who would the beneficiaries be? It’s pretty obvious. If the FSA has any teeth, it needs to use them

[hamhamham1] 17/4/2022 13:33

A nothing article from a nothing newspaper.
What a bunch of numpties.

Great to see so many people on here who are smarter and better in business than MM. hope all their wonderful billion pound enterprises are doing just as well

Only a few years ago Elon was contending with exactly the same issue of shorters, well he absolutely smoked them in the end.

Message to Elon, if you want to smoke some more shorters, start buying THG ;)

Got a gut feeling MM is going to have the last laff :)


matthew_moulding Just a gentle reminder to @TheTimes that the £5m prize for winning their flagship Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2008 is still unpaid to THG….

4,927 days overdue is well beyond the industry standard of 60 days. Good job we managed to survive and thrive without it 💪🏻
(We had annual sales of £27m and only 71 people back then!)

Happy to take it in instalments if helpful 🤔🤭

Also proud to see THG recently be recognised in The Times’ Top 100 Graduate employers, and rank as one of the U.K.’s best large companies for anyone to work at

MM's reply is both witty and fantastic. The nerve from The Times...

[london07] 17/4/2022 12:37

Someone also on the reporters case on twitter.

Get it trending boys and girls #CancelTheTimes.

[1apache] 17/4/2022 12:35

Cancelled mine recently too for the same reason.

[hamhamham1] 17/4/2022 12:27

And that non-story is the straw which has broke the camels back for me, cancelling my Times subscription.
There's far more garbage out there for free on the interweb!
They funny :)

G221 - when he said she said by the Telegraph of issues, which they later had to pull and apologise! ;)

Or when Numis self reported themselves as house broker to lying.

How many examples do the FCA need. They don't even need to look for evidence, it's staring them in the face!

[griffo221] 17/4/2022 09:55

Fairly standard procedure in many business takeovers that the existing management structure stays during a transition. The fact the article states that she left as planned makes it a non article. And the rest is irrelevant in the fact its all anonymous so anyone could make it up. He said she said doesn't stand up as fact

If they have kicked out their payment terms as reported might not be even enough cash in hand to pay suppliers. Tuesday will tell.

Very sorry (no I am not) for those follish enought to have lost - the writing was on the wall for those who could read or understood investing.

[sankshiela] 17/4/2022 08:37

Pug ugly you total donkey- you are the worst a troll ever. It took us all about 3 seconds to see through you. You mug

[hamhamham1] 17/4/2022 08:02

TOTAL CASH OF OVER HALF A BILLION QUID.

That's nearly half the current market cap available in cash, show me another company with that?

The comic ST article is funny :)

[hamhamham1] 17/4/2022 08:01

From January update....

"· Total cash of over £530m at year end plus an undrawn facility of £170m, on long dated 3-5 year terms."

[hamhamham1] 17/4/2022 07:56

Yeah, it's a nothing article which they had mostly on ice, they were just waiting for the window between heads up and delivery of results RNSs.
I find it funny, in a world of such events going in, that such empty dross was splashed, kinda says a lot about the writers, I find it hilarious :)

[pugugly] 17/4/2022 07:56

re 13280 - 60 days is extortionate - unless stock on consignment.

"The owner of a beauty brand said: “Cult Beauty used to be great at paying on time [60 days], but ever since the THG acquisition, we haven’t been paid once. I’ve been emailing and chasing every week, but no response — I don’t even know if my emails are being read.”

The above quote says all that needs to be said -

Message received - Massive breakdown in logistics . or HUT doing an old Woolworth's trick - but then that would be before Shank.. was born.

Re your mates on LSE. Appear to be just a group of very unhappy rampers trying to get the price up to recover some of their losses.

OK - If management can salvage the position then it might be a time to buy for recovery but decison time will be before 8:00 am on Tuesday.

[dafad] 17/4/2022 07:42

Timing of Sarah Meddins article in todays Sunday Times seems very sus-2 trading days before results!!infact the last article that she wrote about Thg was on the Jan 16th and a trading update was out on Jan 18th.mmmm!!!

[hamhamham1] 17/4/2022 07:33

I find it funny :)

[hamhamham1] 17/4/2022 07:32

Its a non-article thst they had on ice, a load of pony about a something a brothers aunties dog said.
Read it, nothing in it, and hell if the best they can find is that one supplier had a payment issue, jeez, show me a business that doesn't have queries with suppliers, especially if you have hundreds of suppliers.
And the fact is the business was bought by THG, so always going to be unhappy staff (especially those directly affected by the synergies of integration within the purchasers larger scale setup).
