    It would provide you with another opportunity to miss out on buying again.

    There is always a rise after a steep decline, also Germany intervening.
    It’s the way of the markets, don’t buy the bounce.

    Cineworld is currently down 27% today. 
  • Cineworld is in trouble, has already asked its shareholders for more money. It has said it may not be able to pay its debts. The push back of release dates for a few blockbuster movies is not helping. Shame as it’s my cinema of choice!

    Coronavirus could really hurt cinemas too, if people are self isolating. Some have started introducing a seat buffer as well, resulting in only half of the seats being available.

    Cineworld is debt burdened due to zealous expansion. The tide is rapidly going out.
