I do not like Naked Wines. Creepy excitable advertising is off putting. They come across like tv evangelists selling god in return for public donations all of which go to charitable causes.*

Yes, I tend to agree with you Mr G.

The naked MD has suddenly become CEO of Majestic 10th April 2015 :shock: IMHO, shareholders may have been well advised to have rejected the acquisition. But with no new CEO in the wings for the old holding company ! Board choices start to evaporate.
I'm not sure of Rowan Gormley's claim that he's got 300k online repeat customers. Many Naked customers were once considered a hyped niche, however as a matter to consider -how much was it worth ? Does their investment offer lock them on ? Whilst Majestic's 630k customers have been loyal for a very long time, loyal to quality as well as price. Majestic have deep tangible stock, but probably too many retail stores / outlets.

Naked had no where to go in the end, were they losing ground ? Social media does not sell wine in the long term. Well . . . . I don't think so, but then again, many purchases are commercial rubbish these days, so What Do I know ? I do believe that Majestic was losing focus on elements of its core business in its pursuit of volume.

If I was a Majestic shareholder, I may be selling when the hype is high / topping out. . Shares up 42p since hearing the news on Friday morning. Therefore, follow the charts, and we'll see what transpires. Hitherto, Majestic shares had been on a slow and slightly painful decline.

No News is bad news these days . . . . Good Luck to them.
