Russell Quirk due to speak to City analysts on the state of the housing market and online agents

Emoov boss Russell Quirk is to be the speaker at a confidential, and highly influential, City lunch next week organised by analysts at the bank JP Morgan.

He is due to speak on the housing market, trends in the industry, the influence of the internet and how it has affected estate agency, and on specific new start-ups.

Quirk’s views are described as likely to be ‘key’ to analysts’ verdicts on the likes of Purplebricks and Rightmove.

    Anything to prop up share prices.

      Russell has already signalled an attack on Purplebricks business model and service so will be looking to switch their investors money to his new group. The hybrid model itself is fine, it’s the way it markets and conducts itself in general that has been the train wreck.

    It would seem these “City Investors” are a bit on the dim side and easily lead. I am sure once Russell tells them that the call centre brigade will have 50% market share in a years time they will be clambering to give him their rubles.

    Can anyone believe ‘City Analysts’ are going to get an unbiased and impartial overview from this guy?

    Stock market experts and investors are nothing more than gamblers?

    Dot com all over again, they never learn?

    Oscar Wilde said it best:

    “The man is but a very honest knave. Full of fine phrases for life’s merchandise…a windy brawler in a world of words.  I have never met so eloquent a fool.”

    “Emoov boss Russell Quirk is to be the speaker at a confidential…….”

     

    The first and obvious rule of confidential is not to go boasting to the trade press. This is embarrassing for all concerned.

    Quirk will no doubt give some interesting insider knowledge that will benefit all participants at the lunch.

    At the same time, all of these listing estate agencies are constantly attempting to raise money to keep the ship floating. With a number of influential individuals there he will most probably be looking to impress in order to get the next stage of investment.

    By the way, I am lead to understand that Quirk now only owns 5% shares after the merger. The pot continues to be watered down.
