SuperGroup today posted great results: http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-3305181/SuperGroup-shares-soar-fashion-group-posts-surge-half-revenues.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Clipper is responsible for their logistic operation. Two facts not unrelated. DYOR though, obvs.
Either someone at LSE cannot add up or they are simply making the prices up. Solid buys and they mark the price down. You really couldn't make it up. No rules rules KO.
No problem fuzz, perhaps because this isn't listed on AIM it's a quiet bb, LOL, mind you looking at the Glencore bb these past few days you could be forgiven for thinking GLEN was an aim stock !! still i think Clipper has a lot going for it and await more news re contracts. all the best and good luck with your investing
Ooops I stand corrected Furry. Nice to hear another voice though.
But Clipper isn't listed on Aim though btw. Very quiet bb here considering all the contracts that this company has and imo seems a good investment, especially with a dividend payment and all the large names it has contracts with.
The way this share is priced epitomises all the worst aspects of Aim. According to LSE there were 477 shares sold today but according to their own figures 725 were sold. There were according to LSE 11149 buys but again according to their own figures there were 16251 buys. Someone for some reason best and only known to themselves sets the closing price at 265 a price that bears no correlation to the days trading nor to the prices struck. The lesson is simple anyone investing money in this sham of a market is doing so at the mercy of people who have the ability to adjust and manipulate prices for their own ends.
im tempted to invest in this sometime. I remeber the days when they had the w.h.smith contract and lost it to wincanton (who consequently made a right old mess of it and lost it to menzies distribution i believe). They also had the new look and Rhythm and booze contracts at that time and were a decent company. Clipper used to be called Gagewell and owned by Stephen cooke, until he went off to run Mcfarlane transport which despite his best efforts went bust in 2008. Its very lucky that Mr Parkin bought clipper and made it a success!
http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail/12440358.html Pretty encouraging news.
Price growing dividend paying . great share
It doesn't get much better in UK retail than John Lewis/Waitrose. FYR on Tuesday should be interesting.
2 x 1million pound buys 100 times the daily average trades. Someone has confidence!
SuperGroup (SuperDry) confidence and international expansion plans represent encouraging news for Clipper as it's a significant client even if the results aren't stellar. Today's FT: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/413f98ac-260f-11e5-9c4e-a775d2b173ca.html?ftcamp=published_links%2Frss%2Fcompanies%2Ffeed%2F%2Fproduct#axzz3fNpLoDOG - DYOR though etc.
That's a good purchase price. I'm waiting for some decent seller to pick up stock.. At the moment, you have pay a 10% spread just to get involved which is a joke. Good for holders though!! Good Luck.
9 trades today all buys and the price drops (a bit). I have 10000 @147 miti1000
Its not listed on AIm. Never the less , its a very hard stcok to buy. The mm's apear very short of stock. Just bought 4500 and had to pay 217. Looks a very interesting company. I shall be buying plenty despite its strong rise since IPO.
A handful of sells around around 207 more buys around 212 and the price closes down below the price of the lowest sell This man ipulation encapsulates all that is wrong in AIM. The people who win are the market makers and the people who pay them!
And George Soros, he's had a punt on Clipper too.
Up 8.5 per cent since my last post and still just me and shareschmuck ?
Glad to have some company at long last. I have been invested here since shortly after the flotation. Did my research and echo your sentiments. Long term this has to be a great investment. First year listing and they have already paid a dividend. If my wife is anything to go by then internet shopping ( Deliveries and returns ) have only just started.
Yeh, I'm in. This is a great company, prob UK market leader in e-fulfillment and online sales logistics (inc. returns which few traditional big retailers handle very efficiently). I reckon the shares would've generated more excitement if they'd called themselves an 'e-fulfillment specialist.'. People will come around eventually.
Just wondering if I am alone watching this great company.
Interims on the 4th - do your research and tuck some away for a day or two or a month or two. Cash generative and great value here.
Great news!! Surely this is going to fly today!
Nice article, should give this a nice little boost. GLA
MIDAS SHARE TIPS: Couch potatoes help drive logistics firm Clipper in new directions By JOANNE HART, FINANCIAL MAIL ON SUNDAY PUBLISHED: 22:27, 2 August 2014 | UPDATED: 12:21, 3 August 2014 View comments Enthusiastic British shoppers are expected to spend more than £100 billion online this year and forecasters predict that by 2022 a third of all UK sales will be conducted on the web. The trend towards couch-potato shopping is a fabulous chance for retailers to cash in, but it also presents store owners with some serious logistical challenges. This is where Clipper Logistics can help. Floated on the stock market in May, it helps retailers with issues that range from storing goods to speedy returns and even eBay sales. It's a wrap: The company makes sure clothes are packaged properly before they are delivered +3 It's a wrap: The company makes sure clothes are packaged properly before they are delivered +3 It's a wrap: The company makes sure clothes are packaged properly before they are delivered At 140p, the stock has already made progress since flotation, but there is still plenty of long-term potential and the chance of some generous dividends along the way. Clipper was founded in 1992 by Yorkshireman Steve Parkin. Originally a miner, Parkin left the coalface after just 18 months, gained a heavy goods vehicle licence and in the early 1980s started delivering fish in the North for a company called Clipper Seafood.

MIDAS SHARE TIPS: Head for the exit as investigation begins at oil group Afren Axa Framlington Managed Balanced: Fund boss steers clear of bonds as clouds gather over equities Starting his own business a few years later, Parkin took the Clipper name because it conveyed speed and efficiency and he had rather enjoyed his years in the fish trade. Back then, internet retailing did not exist and Parkin focused on transporting goods for retailers from depots to stores. However, as e-commerce developed, Clipper raised its game. The group still does basic distribution for retailers, but it offers a range of other services besides. These include warehousing goods when they arrive from overseas, making sure clothes and other items are properly packaged for sale and even delivering them to individual customers who have shopped for goods online. Clipper boss: Steve Parkin +3 Clipper boss: Steve Parkin The company operates many retailers’ e-commerce systems for them, taking orders, making sure the goods go where they are supposed to and handling returns, steaming, pressing and cleaning pet hairs from unwanted clothing so they can be put back on sale quickly. Importantly, too, Clipper helps to ensure retailers’ customers are refunded promptly so they do not feel badly treated. The group assists a string of large, blue-chip names with their internet offer and customers include John Lewis, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Asos, Superdry and Harvey Nichols.
