Cider disaster

This goal has had very little attention paid to it….alright, none. But in my early enthusiasm i looked up C&C Group who make cider among other things. I thought they looked like a good bet coming into the summer but i noticed in the paper yesterday that due to our appalling weather and a subsequent collapse in cider sales they are laying off 70 workers at their Clonmel plant.
Saved by apathy!

bounce back ?

but will they come back eventually – can you grab this as a bargain now and then ride that wave to $ucce$$ later on.

How has the company performed in the past. What are their balance sheets like? How much cash do they have? What is their supply line like? Is everyone else who was in this field as a hobby pulling out?

Must try harder

Wow, questions that make me realise i have a lot of learing to do. They are a very solid brand who have performed well in the market over the past couple of years. No idea how much cash they have. I’m not sure i know what a supply line is! They have a few strong brands that are available everywhere and a few products that are not very visible at all. Is that what you mean? I dont know if the hobbyists are pullingout but there have been a couple of newspaper articles referring to the fact that this is happening in the market generally. It seems that stocks have been hammered generally here over the past few months.

I can see why this is harder to make money at than you might think. Just these few questions make me see how little i know. I think i need to pay more attention to the finance pages.
