Walker Greenbank – from “improving trend” to “weakened significantly against management's expectations” in 6 weeks

Previously writing on interior furnishings company Walker Greenbank (WGB) in August with the shares then approaching 240p, I concluded a forward price/earnings multiple of 14x and dividend yield of circa 2% look fair enough, but consumer concerns see me at this juncture avoid. The shares had since slipped back towards 200p – before a “Trading Update” announcement today…

Walker Greenbank – “pleased to announce” half-year trading update, are the shares a buy?

Luxury interior furnishings company Walker Greenbank (WGB) “is pleased to announce its pre-close trading update for the six months ended 31 July 2017” - with this commencing with that brand sales “were up 35.6% in reportable currency compared with the same period last year”. Sounds good, so why are the shares currently sliding back slightly?...

Wallpapering is sexy, no really it is (even at my age)

Hello Share Thrashers. With the mainstays of many a private share portfolio, like oil and banks, still in the dumps, it might be time to seek out companies in less common areas of business.

"I’d imagine this sort of share price move will have the Oxymorons at AIM regulation putting in a call, to the Nomad too."Do you really think they will notice? They don't seem to take any notice even when you actually inform them!

I would add: 1. I don't advocate going "all-in"; at its peak my short in IES would have had a position size of about 7% of my total portfolio. "Position size" is the total value of the short position (ie number of shares x price) divided by the net value of my portfolio (how much it would be worth if everything was sold). Because I'm using gearing (mainly spread bets) this means that all of the position sizes added together is greater than 100%.Under normal circumstances I wouldn't go over 6% for a position size because I like to think that I'm practicing some sort of risk control, even though many people out there think that I'm being recklessly risky just by shorting to begin with! Everyone that I know who spread bets says the same thing: you manage your risk by controlling your position size, and I broadly agree with that. Invinity went over 6% because the price moved against me at one point but these things happen.2. Everyone needs to learn position sizing for themselves because it ties in with your tolerance for risk. There's no point religiously copying someone else's position sizing if you 💩 your pants when the price swings more than 10% against you and the person that you're copying simply laughs at 50% swings and doubles their position! The key thing is that you have to be able to sleep at night!3. Whilst Nigel Farage brought "PFL" into the lexicon of the whole of the UK it's a well known term throughout the City and comes with one simple rule: you do not go back to the office after a PFL!Evil Bansta

The very idea i would be "naked" at Sharestock 2027 is a non-starter - you don't have enough sick buckets...As for riding a donkey - i tried a horse many years back - just the once (despite the then Mrs having loads of them in the fields my hard work had bought). No gears and the brakes were shocking...Meanwhile I do have to wonder if the Visionary Lord Sir Evil Bankster's articulated and evidenced comments at prior sharestocks about share price rise just prior to placing is now in play? red flag? we will see!
