where there is money to be made greed will always exist and its this greed that ruins it for everybody with the shorters and doommongerers doing there bit to take a toll on the sp by influencing others to sell for sfall
We're just touching the rim of glory here.
Can we just go back to the smutty jokes about the SP going up?
I disagree there are manymany many investors who are uneducated and buy based on news without research or anything
Its these who dont check the fundamentals that are easily mislead into selling there shares at a loss. If lots of people are easily mislead are you telling me it cant cause a spiral downwards? So you are in 100pc belief that its impossible for BB chat to influence shareholders? Its happened before and its happening daily mate across many shares just google it dont take my word for it please
Bouchos, it doesn't matter a jot what any of us say here, we don't affect the SP at all, nada ,zilch, zero nought.
However I will desist from any further views here. all the best
Wyndrum we have enough rubbish being thrown at us
I really dont want to hear the what if this happens as we could talk forever in that regard and its not going to do our investments any favors
We need a sentiment change and this will be achieved through positivity that's all-my apologies
Bouchos I bought a load yesterday at 262.7, I'm up 5% in 24 hours. what are you talking about? I just discussing with PP the hypothetical pitfalls of LTBH using boo as an example as her view (which may turn out to be correct) that it is better to hold a share for 20 years plus than to..not, I guess.
you are showing how desperate you are Wyndrum now
thanks Wyndrum its great to have you here and help us identify all the dangers-Not
We are investors we take risk we dont need you to shout every 2 seconds of what could be doom and gloom to come
Forget gretta thuderthighs have you not seen Boohoos social media presence with gorgeous babes making sales a piece of cake. You keep believing that Boohoos customer base will be fearful and follow the medias rubbish re global warming youll be wealthy in time to come
Also 3 years ago Boo was 257p So, if you had bought then, this growth share, it today, would have grown by 10%
or you could gave bought at 210p-225p 3 weeks ago and made 25%
yeah I know St, the power of charts eh...
I can PP, becuase over 10 years ago when they cam to market they were known for their quality and (relatively) low price making them good value and very, very fashionable. So it was fast fashion or as fast as it could be then.
Anyway, what if Greta Thunderthighs convinces the 10-15 year olds not to be so wasteful and not to keep buying cheap fashionable garments, as it just adds to Global warming and a waste of resources. (That is not an "out there" scenario is it?)
There are just so many unknowns that could hurt Boo, and given its heady rating could cause it to halve in value from here and still be rated as expensive. I don't know how long you have been doing this and what success you have had but as I say I am assuming you have more than one holding.
You cant compare superdry to Boohoo Wyndrum
I do get what you are saying but Superdry is hardly cheap or fast fashion have you seen their prices? This is why they are at 120p
People will buy what they can afford hence why we are growing
Add to that this started as a family business and Mr Boohoo is very much hands on helping us expand currently
Unlike other companies who constantly award directors shares and they sell them the day after like oh thats right Aston Martin's Andy Palmer
I really appreciate the conversations on here as it helps me learn.
I'm sure PP is saying research with the aim to hold long, keep researching and sell when you think ceiling reached and maybe buy back in dips. I've just looked ASOS share history and they've had huge ups and downs.
PP, are you telling me you have only got 1 holding and its Boo?
The disadvantage BOO has it that it is already very highly valued and any slip up on growth has a disproportionate effect on the SP, as can be seen recently. BOO will have to continue to grown annually at a huge rate according to you for years to come.
Superdry in its day was a growth share how did you know that was not one that would go on? After all it floated at 500p (I think) went up to around 2200p, expanded into overseas markets and now is 120p.
Most growth shares start on Aim, which is notorious for manipulation and some would say lack of oversight, so there is an inherent risk right away.
And assuming Boo, is not your only investment, what others do you think have got what it takes to LTB&H?
The stock market is all about thorough research. It's not educated gambling. With thorough research chrisengland you could have still been in Amazon and Apple instead of selling out early.
Bill Gates has been on about a virus for years and no-one took any notice of him. However he still has his 103 million shares in Microsoft. No doubt he still keeps a good eye over them.
Don't just rubbish the possibility of researching thoroughly because you can't be bothered to try it.
PP I make a profit and take any risk off the table Covid being an extreme example this hit £1.50 a share I went out on a stop long before that and that would be a disaster for anyone staying long in one share.
Thank you and to the rest of you guys :)
wyndrum - obviously hit a sore point there. You said you were a millionaire and didn't have the time to make a billion now.
steveknowsnothin - have you tried researching thorougly, have you tried finding an excellent growth share and researching it thoroughly. Until you do then don't knock it.
Midway - How much more or less would you have made by holding all your Boohoo shares till now instead of jumping in and out of them? Unless you keep a tally of what you gain and what you lose jumping in and out of shares compared to holding then you don't know what works and which is best.
I’m with you on that Stevie we all work differently everyone to ones own
No matter the amount of research, you can still easily get screwed. Take proffit at your target and move onto the next one.
Stop it PP, you don't know me or my circumstances or what I have been through. You have no information to jump to that conclusion. I though we had been through this.
And by the way, what growth shares should I have bought? I am presuming the ones that went up as opposed to the ones that went down or went bust?
(I know, silly question because none of us who research a company ever get it wrong…)
steveknowsnothin - it's not about a trophy hunt it's about using your valuable time wisely to research throughly so you don't get screwed.
Blah this game isn't about becoming a billionaire on one stock. Its about getting over 7% yearly growth on your portfolio, this year I am at 20% and am happy. The mindset of everything having to be a trophy hunt is what will screw you.
wyndrum - and maybe that's why you've only made a million in 40 years when you could have made a billion by researching throughly an excellent growth share to buy and hold for 40 years. Jumping in and out of shares uses valuable time that you could spend researching excellent growth shares. Once you hold them, then you keep researching them to give you the confidence to keep holding them.
