I closed my short when the Reddit crowd did a number on Gamestop (and others). Seems to be dangerous to be short anything when weight of money is trampling fundamentals. I can't see this company making any money for a year or so (if ever) but it has the cash from the crazy priced convertible to keep it alive for quite a while. But one day...

Surely - hardly a single ticket has been sold in the entire financial year. Even with forward thinking it will take years for trains to come back and now everyone is working from home I think public transport will slump.

To short or not to short - zat is zee question?

Another huge share sale by Clare gilmartin. She's not stupid

I got back in recently (Short) think that last bullish spike definitely was a stop hunt. See how it pans out, could easily get dragged up by the ftse if we start following the US euphoria

So difficult to judge with this share, shut my bet today as it went up and then this afternoon it goes down and still DFB isnt really what I want, need a short with expire date!

[lennonsalive] 08/2/2021 16:33

Could only open a DFB bet on this today, as it's heavily shorted already with IG and they can't borrow stock. Reminds me I must open an account with Spreadex

Thanks Texas Pete, this looks like a terrible company to me. Reckon its not even worth half its valuation, stops took me out of my shorts and waiting for some pause around the 500 levels for a re entry, good luck all

Talk in the press today that all restrictions will be lifted by May to coincide with all over 50s being vaccinated by then (Gym Group rose today, so did Hyve (events business)). As markets are forward looking by 6 months or so, this will be the reason for the gain imo. I would like to go short again myself but we are in a bullish market again so I'm now wary of shorting any stock. From a technical point of view there is a gap to fill around 491p from back to end of June so an opening short from here could be good.

Its being manipulated of course.

It will crash .. but who knows when !

If the market behaved logically we'd all be rich.

[doobz] 05/2/2021 16:14

Does anyone know why this jumped up today?

[mallorca 9] 05/2/2021 15:55

I've just joined with a nice short @ £4.80.

That was the level of the recent £3m sale by the CFO

[lennonsalive] 05/2/2021 15:43

Around March they report based on last year

[dare2share] 05/2/2021 15:38

Literally just got stopped out in the last 5 mins. Will monitor and likely try and go short again before results as just cannot see anything other than a massive fall in the sp

[lennonsalive] 05/2/2021 15:28

Its probably up as light at the end of the tunnel with lockdown restrictions, however maybe look at going short leading up to results as they will be awful

[dare2share] 05/2/2021 13:58

Yeah wished now I'd stayed on the sidelines. Simply put would people buy a company for over £2bn that would then lose them money every year and who's revenue has been decimated due to the pandemic. Perfectly willing to accept I might be missing something but I'm struggling with what is motivating ppl to buy right now!

[lennonsalive] 05/2/2021 10:53

It's trick how to call it right, I have several shares on a short list, but none of them are behaving according to fundamentals, so I'd rather leave and watch for now. Shame goes for this.

[dare2share] 04/2/2021 12:35

Yes think you're right - thought I'd timed it well after a clear downtrend, but since I opened a position done nothing but go up. Just under 500p is my stop. Any higher and I'm out despite not understanding what people are seeing in this share. What do the ppl buying think the next results will look like?!

[lennonsalive] 04/2/2021 12:17

I was thinking of short but currently on an upward rise and I was looking from about 500 if possible

[dare2share] 04/2/2021 10:52

Happy to declare I'm short here and know whatever I post won't impact on the share price. Just struggling to understand why people are buying. The company makes no profit, debt is up and the next results are likely going to be very poor. Posting out of frustration and also questioning if I'm missing something here!

[slicethepie] 30/1/2021 12:50

I notice Ennismore are short here...wonder what they will do in the light of events in the us last week

[stevenbetts] 26/1/2021 10:23

How low do we think this will go?

[dagsteeth] 07/1/2021 13:54

1% coupon convertible at a 50% premium? Have investors gone mad? Buy a decent credit bond (eg tesco) at 2% and trainline shares at no premium. Baffled. Answers please......
