I think some are already beginning to get out ahead of results.

[dare2share] 01/3/2021 12:40

I can only think it is either being manipulated or people are buying based on the trend/ chart without looking at the fundamentals. I am holding till results next week. If my short/ loss gets temporarily bigger in the meantime so be it. Once the results hit in black and white, or in this case in the red I think a few people will wake up and smell the coffee!

Who on earth is buying this??

[vincentlouise] 01/3/2021 07:24

Could be close to 545p by end of today

[johndoe23] 28/2/2021 19:37

Think it's w/c 8th march

[msehs] 28/2/2021 19:01

Is there a scheduled update due soon? Any date set yet?

[johndoe23] 28/2/2021 13:08

Sorry, meant 2.5bn mcap seems ludicrous

[johndoe23] 28/2/2021 13:07

Every time i look at shorting this, it keeps on rising!All time high of 545p surely won't be surpassed?! 2.5bn debt, loss making, no divi, director sales...

[dare2share] 28/2/2021 10:40

It's revenue massively impacted, debt up and directors selling their shares in advance of the results. It may well recover but at today's prices I don't believe it's currently worth what the market says it is. If it doesn't drop substantially following results I will close my position and move onto something else where fundamentals do matter

[dare2share] 28/2/2021 10:37

Agreed that a lot of businesses will have poorer results. Looking back to the last full year results there was certainly some positives in there. Revenue up nearly a quarter and yet managed to lose 81m after tax. Given the impact of COVID with revenue at the half year down around 80%, where will PAT be now? Im not saying it is a bad business, just a business really heavily impacted by COVID

Dare2share.

Aren't 90% of all businesses going to have terrible results this year?

I think that investors are looking beyond this year's inevitably terrible results.

Proof of this is that the market is holding up very well really.

All shorts are future buyers in a company that is not going bust

[dare2share] 26/2/2021 10:39

I must confess it is an incredibly testing share to short! Every time it starts to look like falling it just reverses and goes up even more. On Spreadex the percentage of clients long - 0. It will need to hit all time highs to take out my stop loss, so that wont hopefully happen within the next 10 working days, by which time we should see just how bad those results are

[anderson3] 26/2/2021 09:48

Fingers, arm's and legs crossed.

[dare2share] 26/2/2021 08:52

I know! Keep the faith it's now only around 2 weeks till results, where I expect this almost half's in value. Should make for a nice payday

BBC News - Get used to fewer trains, says rail body

Even still this is now trading back at pre pandemic levels. It's like the pandemic never happened. The company's incurred big losses as a result which the market doesn't appear to care about and its future prospects are much worse with more people going to be working from home and not buying tickets. Suspect the best placed person is the CFO. They sold nearly 3mill pound of share in Dec.

[undervaluedassets] 24/2/2021 18:14

They are an agent, aren't they?

No moving parts, nothing to maintain, they take a commission for selling a ticket and do sweetFA. Bloody brilliant

Experian, eBay, Rightmove same deal. Do nothing except take a commission

Businesses like these do well in the end.

I'm in again already down £350 from a previous short, won't be beaten

[dare2share] 24/2/2021 15:53

https://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shares-search-results/t/trainline-plc-ord-1p/director-dealsCEO/CFO offloading their shares at £4.80/£4.90 what does that tell you

[dare2share] 24/2/2021 14:43

Agreed. Been stopped out at a loss a few times in the past but after today's move up again I couldn't resist. Opened a short with a wider stop, hoping that I can reach the results in a couple of weeks. Cannot see anything other than a massive fall/ correction. I obviously want to be in when that happens. If not I'll never short this again as when fundamentals don't matter what is the point!

[donegal1997] 24/2/2021 11:50

One of the most mental valuations you'll ever see. Timing when to short this is so tough though.

[anderson3] 24/2/2021 10:43

My short isn't looking to good.
