Q: Hi All at 5i!!! DND has always been a confusing stock for me. I held it for a while and it got a vast amount of negative sentiment from the market , so I sold it. I have read a lot of conflicting opinions on it. So here I am seeking out your opinion. The straight goods....is it a good, stable stock to hold, well positioned for good future growth? Or are it’s prospects nebulous , dependent on (metaphorically speaking ) many stars aligning??? Looking forward to your reply, Cheers, Tamara

Q: Hi there, ARKK has dropped very dramatically - about 75% to 80% from all time highs. I believe the 2000 .com bust had a similar fall in terms of percentages. In your opinion, has ARKK bottomed out here? Do you think it's time to finally start buying in the $40 to $45 price range? Lastly, do you see comparisons in buying ARKK today, similar to buying oil in March 2020 after oil went negative and XEG etc collapsed? Thanks!

Q: 1) What do you think the odds are of DND being able to reverse the ruling by the CMA?

2) Do you agree that if DND had to sell TMG it would reduce revenue by about 6%? This was my rough calculation based on 2021 DND annual revenue.

Thanks for your insights.


These questions are prompted by the following news release:

"The CMA has provisionally found that Dye & Durham's acquisition of TMG, which closed in July 2021, would lessen competition in the UK property search services market. The CMA also asserts that the only effective way to address the issues it has identified would be for Dye & Durham to sell TMG to a third party. Lastly, the CMA press release gives the erroneous impression that Dye & Durham failed to notify the CMA regarding the transaction when in fact there was no obligation to do so under applicable UK law, which provides only for voluntary notification.


Dye & Durham disagrees with the CMA's provisional findings and is evaluating its potential options. Dye & Durham complies with all laws and regulations in every market in which it operates. The Company has exercised every best effort to help the CMA with its review of the transaction, explain its benefits and offer a remedy proposal and is ready to continue to work collaboratively with the CMA going forward."
