Castlevania Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The results don't seem that bad. The issue is that most of their revenue comes from lettings, which must be in line to take a big hit when the letting fees ban comes in.

thewig Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 That’s what I thought too, there must be another way to gouge the plebs a bit more for a bit more paper money they don’t have which doesn’t really exist anyway but which they can be thrown in a cage for not having if they don’t give the state enough of right?  What if the state creates a load of time wasting jobs for the plebs then gives them paper money for their time then demands a chunk of that paper back so they don’t have to put plebs in cages. Would that work?  or better still what if the state just gives anyone who doesn’t want to play along with the whole job game a little bit of paper money so they can eat and drink and not cause trouble and in return they promise not to throw them into a cage. That’d work better.  problem then arises when those who haven’t realised the whole job game is optional start to realise they don’t have to play it and that the paper money they are giving up their time for comes out of a top of the range Hewlett Packard laserjet  whats more they then start to look at their neighbour who has opted out of the job game but are still getting that Papermoney and have somewhere to live which is nicer than their own papermoney can buy  then they turn on their beloved tellie at night and their programming tells them anyone who doesn’t play the job game is a scumbag and is basically stealing from them, then they keep going to their job to pick up that sweet paper-money except now they hate their neighbour who they’ve never spoken to and want them to be thrown in a cage  meanwhile the guy with the Hewlett Packard is laughing his ass off on an island somewhere  Would bitcoin be worth more than twenty k in this scenario?

But 'loose forever' is getting less and less effective. These days a 25% growth in the money supply only gets you ~10% hpi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBound Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 At least Foxtons has no debt so it has options (i.e. shrink the costs with the revenue). In contrast the value of Countrywide's equity is now less than its debt. Shrinking the business is out of the question. It has to do a hugely dilutive rights issue or likely go the same way as Carrillion. The clock is ticking.....

warrior88 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I find it really weird that a lot of closing position for foxtons tends be a whole round number - who is supporting foxtons soo much and what seems like unlimited money or at least £187m it seems.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
