I think Ted will be alright as we have a reasonably small store footprint and international appeal online.
Last update the turnaround seemed to going well and I hope the COVID crisis has done well for our online offering and what we have lost on smart wear is made up on casuals.
I've purchased quite a bit over the summer from the site and we've been discounting heavily. If we have a good update and get a decent rise next week I'll most likely take some profits.
*All Ted Baker I could find was out of stock. Is this because they would have asked Debenhams to pull the brand from heavy discounting?*
Debenhams website overwhelmed as shoppers swoop on sales:

I suspect this has something to do with it.
However, TED's own sale items are very low on stock, as far as I can tell on thier UK website, was trying to pick up some bargains earlier and nothing in my size available, currently. And I'm a pretty standard size. However, it's only the numbers next week that will bring me confidence. There is blood on the UK high street, let us hope TED is not another casualty waiting to make the news.
I was on the Debenhams website last night for a nosey (once I could get on) and decided to have a poke around. All Ted Baker I could find was out of stock. Is this because they would have asked Debenhams to pull the brand from heavy discounting?
A great way to protect your brand and with two major retailers very sadly facing a dark future, it could be an opportunity for TED to pick up some great talent and strengthen their teams even more?
Nice to see this fairly steady - consolidating nicely for what I expect to be a push upwards as we get closer to results. Particularly when they announce a deal on Brexit.
Difficult to know what to do then. As I said, I've taken some profits already, but for now I expect to hold until this returns to a solid state of affairs business-wise - assuming it can and does.
I am happy to hold until the day before deferred results and then make a decision. I am concerned results have been delayed. Good reason is given - but good reasons are always given. It makes me a little nervous.
What do we think is this moving up ahead of results or do we think the rises are here to state?
Mixed day for me, Ted Has been a star since I bought back in along with Tesla in the last couple of weeks.
I’m invested in Avacta and SNG though which have took a hammering in the AZ vaccine news.
Yes its been a great day, even my poor banking investments are on their way up. I have a few AA bought in the mid 20's but hadn't even noticed they had an offer today. I think I will hold out for mid 30's and move on.
Where to go next is the question, Metro intrigues me but I am already so overweight on this compared to my normal punts and it is still one of UK's most shorted stocks.
Thanks Swanny - some v useful information there.
Been another good day so far.
I'm not as prolific or experienced as you are, and I think I'm looking at businesses from a different angle than many of the other investors. My background is in branding and marketing, so seeing how a company is communicating, whether their strategy makes sense and has growth potential is what I fundamentally look at and then finances - wrong way round I know!
Made a nice profit on Saga, and continuing to hold another tranche of their shares with a sell at £6-7 within a year
Also done well on the AA buying in at 19p - had hoped their buy-out would have been better today, but not sure that this is final offer, so holding onto them until it's completed.
A real dog for me has been BT. *Groan*
will hold TED until we have more news from trading update on the 7th Dec
Might as well forget 140p
...150p here we come.
Some pressure on this ceiling at the moment it seems.
Took some profits on Friday, which seems to have been a mistake. I retain a core holding of 30,000 shares though. Not much to stop this going to 150p now, as has been long predicted here.
TOSCA? Who knows? The price seems to be getting away from them in terms of making a bid, but I still suspect that is their motive. As for the company itself - all eyes are on next week. Let's hope they do not disappoint.

I'm similar with you on TED, but in positive territory now as bought more around 75p than 180p. I am running with my core holding but have been buying CFD's on the dips and just taking 10 points each time which has worked well for me so far. i quite like that strategy with shares I think have an upwards trend.
BTW, what is the investment that is about to come good?
I have also been shorting the main indexes when they go 250 above their latest peak, and take 100 points. So far so good, except I should be going for 250 points!
Hi,
First post on TED, although I dipped in last October (big loss so far), and have gradually been picking up more, including taking the full quota of the RI.
What's the view on TOSCA taking this further? I'm in for the long term as I see TED as a strong business, with quality products and a loyal following. Their new digital platform seems to be doing well and I like the changes they've made to strategy and the board.
I suppose what I'm erring towards is taking some more once another one of my investments reaps the dividends (hopefully) over the next month.
Any views very welcome from people who follow it much closer than I'm able to.
TIA
Yep, I’ll take it. A good finish to the week all things considered, which should set things up nicely heading towards publication of the results.
Actually think it's going to stay afloat this time.
Steady as she goes. A close above 130 would be in keeping with continuing the overall positive momentum.
Early Christmas shopping and discounting by stores helped to lift UK retail sales in October, the latest official figures have indicated.
Sales rose by 1.2% last month, the Office for National Statistics said, the sixth month in a row that sales have increased.
Online stores did well, but local coronavirus restrictions in October led to reduced footfall on the High Street, which hit clothing stores.
Analysts warned that sales were likely to fall sharply in November because of the lockdown restrictions in England.
Rising nicely!
Glad I jumped back in this morning - phew.
Think I'll leave it this time.
Good to see an uptick after the volatility of yesterday. Let’s hope it’s a blue finish with no day trade shenanigans.
What we need here I think is a bit of consolidation at this kind of price, to generate some support.
Yup, the SP went up so fast, many didn't want to miss the opportunity to take a little profit. It's kind of a normal situation I guess.....it will go up again in no time...
Just some healthy profit taking before the weekend, I suspect.
Bah what happened. Been in a meeting at afternoon and everything has tanked!
A bad hair for me today, only 2 out of my 12 shares I hold is blue. Oh my!!
Well...
Managed to top slice a few this time. Could see this a mile off.
Will grab them back lower.
This has a long way to go, but I think the future is bright here.
Too bad we couldn't hold on to our gain. SP is now back to the red.......but no worries, it will be back...
