As Diginty is new to the martkets and the first funeral services company to be floated, what are your views on its future potential?

There appears to be little data on which to ascertain a valuation.

I don't suppose we are going to run out of dead people!

Naked trader today - Interesting to see the shares which either didn't fall much at all or came right back to where they were this shows strength.

They include shares like the lovely Dignity (after all people aren't going to stop dying are they?)

Third quarter trading update

Profit warning.

Could see this coming months ago.

Yep=since mid 2017 Dirs have been selling . . .you'd think they'd have to make an RNS ann. -OR- did I miss it?
Clearly their sp is too high ( poor yield, for what is a regular cash generating business. ).... and £20+ was just silly.

Bought a few today.

Anyone else take a punt earlier on this Dog Stock?

Where's that fish.....
