you always have to treat stats for what they are worth, however on all indicators there was a clear downward trend during 2017 in comparison to competitors bottoming in march 18 since then there is a clear trend on all fronts that there is growth -website rank in nidia has gone from mid 2500 to 1500 rising every month, app from 40s to 20s and as high as 12 last week, facebook referrals growing 5-10% each month.
These are all subject to a margin of error, but the trend is clear and im pretty sure we will see the same in september.. KOOV TV have put out 4 video ads in august, more production quality, and more frequent.. it all points to a change of direction. lets see but im confident things are certainly not getting worse!!
Hey gimme- brilliant research- lets hope it equates to sales!! I used to use alexa religiously, but found it quite misleading as it definitely did not correlate to an increase in sales.
There seems to be some kind of news blackout, but hopefully at the end of September, they will give us an idea of how the first six months of the trading year went. Not only are we looking for better than expected sales, but more importantly, an increase in margins.
Morning
Kovvs app is rated currently 18 in the indian iphone chart, dropped a bit but still up there in with the bigger players. forgot alexa, thats useless unless you pay £180 month, but simweb and app annie are very good i have used them for years. cant guarantee that stat make sales, but a few little thing are showing aleady that koovs is now moving forward
I don't get all this posting of nonsense, surely its better to look at this for what it is..the company is fully funded for some time and even though FLF got thier hands on 25% at 10p do you think they would not have done any diligence? Can anyone argue that they alone bring significant opportunities? I'm pretty sure there will be a board level shake up, but its only been a foooking month! chill ! I understand the risks here and will follow developments closely
Bombom, you must have f all better to do with your life. How long did it take you to write all that dribble?
Jambon, just stick to facts & figures & you'll be alright. Just don't come on here making things up like the ASOS nonsense.
I thought you were taking a break from here?
I've asked you several times already & I'll ask you again.
Are you happy with the way Koovs management treats us shareholders?
Read all that and you will soon see what is going on in here and advfn !!! Im off to buy more shares now.... My next post will be the "i told you so post" once results are out and the forward looking plan sends this flying...
Rules for Successful Bashing: 1. Be anonymous 2. Use 10% fact. 90% suggestion. The facts will lend credibility to your suggestions. 3. Let others help you learn about the stock. Build rapport and a support base before initiating your Bashing routine. 4. Enter w/ humor and reply to all who reply to you. 5. Use multiple ISP's, handles and aliases. 6. Use two (2) or more aliases to simulate a discussion. 7. Do not start with an all out slam of the stock. Build softly. 8. Identify your foes (Longs) and the boards "guru" Use them to your advantage. Lead them do not follow their lead. 9. Only Bash until the tide/momentum turns. Let doubt carry it the rest of the way. 10. Give the appearance of being open minded. 11. Be bold in your statements. People follow strength. 12. Write headlines in caps with catchy statements. 13. Pour it on as your position gains momentum. Not your personality. 14. Don't worry about being labeled a "Basher". Newbies won't know your history. 15. When identified put up a brief fight, then back off. Return in an hour unless your foe is a weak in reasoning powers. 16. Your goal is to limit the momentum of the run. Not to tank the company or create a plunge in the stock; be subtle and consistent. 17. Kill the dreams of profits, not the company or the stock. 18. Use questions to create critical thinking. Statements to reinforce facts. 19. DO NOT LIE, NAME CALL or USE PROFANITY. 20. Encourage people to call the company. 99% won't. They'll take your word for claims made. If they do call you can always find something that is inaccurate in how they report their findings. 21. Discourage people from believing Press Releases. Encourage them to call the company. They won't out of laziness. 22. If the companies history/PR's are negative constantly point to that. Compile a list of this data prior to beginning your efforts. 23. If the price rises blame it on the hype or the PR, temporary mass reaction, the market, etc. Anything but the stock itself. 24. If other posters share your concerns, play on that and share theirs too. 25. Always cite low volume, even when it's not. 26. Three or four aliases can dominate a board and wear down the longs. 27. Bait the Longs into personal debates putting their focus/efforts on you and not the stock or facts. Divert their attention from facts. 28. Promote other stocks that would-be investors can turn to instead of the one your Bashing. 30. Do not fall for challenges on the "values" of what you are doing, it's a game and you are playing it with your own rules.
Lesson 7: Bashers play on your lack of patience. You have held a stock for a while. You knew it will be a big stock someday, but the BASHER CAN GET TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOUR GAIN. That's when the Basher is best. You are tired. You have forgotten the goal for the stock was to hold it for one year. The Basher is bothersome, so you dump it on a bad day. Some others also dump. Then you get mad for your loss and return to let everyone know how mad you are. Then you turn into a semi-Basher as well. THE BASHER HAS WON, AND GAINED A NEW ALLY - YOU! Lesson 8: BRING THE PRICE DOWN. That is the Basher's job. The truth is not important. Lies are the norm. Post continuously on the board every day. They are trying to scare the newbies that are just investigating a stock. They are trying to wear down the faithful longs on the board and gain free reign and control.
This is your investment... work for it, protect it and don't panic on the words of very shadowy figure that "has your best interest in their heart". Consider that one factor: Someone you have never met, is not a member of your family, is now, out of the goodness of their hearts - GIVING YOU FREE ADVICE (that you didn't ask for). It's a no brainer. They have motives
Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER Bash A BADSTOCK. Check the boards for stocks with no potential. They never have any Bashers. Bashers only go after stocks that are moving up or have excellent potential to do so. Bashers work to bring the price down to either increase their position at the expense of others or help a Short make their bones. Lesson 2: BASHERS ALWAYS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES. New startup companies always have a few bits of bad news. The Basher will post this over and over again. Unsophisticated Bashers will try to freshen up old news with a new date or by-line in an attempt to fool you. Lesson 3: BASHERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY. They try to wear you out. They comment on everything, every other post, and can answer every question. THEY KNOW IT ALL! There is no positive comment they won't Bash. They try to control the board. True longs may have to confront the Bashers or they will appear to the newbies as being the people with all the information. This is best accomplished by posting positive, well researched data on the company, repetitively, while trying hard not to engage the Bashers in direct repartee. REMEMBER - LONGS... RESIST USING THE BASHERS ALIAS! Lesson 4: BASHERS WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE. Never trust a Basher. The truth on startup companies is that they make mistakes. What new company hasn't? The Basher will compare your issue to a another companies, financials - deals - management, etc., trying to lure you into making an Apples to Oranges comparison. Remember each company is unique and while it is prudent to seek out established indicators, do so with care and don't take someone else's word for it. Strive to come up with at least a "six-pack" of indicators so your vision of the state of a company is not tied to a single barometer. Not doing so is tantamount to going to a Race Track and betting on the "Pretty Brown Horsey". BASHERS WANT TO WHISPER IN YOUR EAR -PLANT A SEED OF DOUBT, AND HOPE THAT YOU ARE NOT SAVVY ENOUGH TO RESEARCH THE TRUTH ON YOUR OWN. This is how they achieve their greatest success. DOUBT + FEAR + LAZINESS = BAIL OUT!
Deary me !!!
Attacks from all angles on the jambon!!
All i can say is the jambon will be laughing very loud at some point in sept and i will be back to say i told you so....
Jambon: Take a look at waheed....
Take a look at Mary turner
Take a look at Robert the cfo
The 3 people i have just mentioned built asos
That is one of the funniest things that I have ever read!
As you seem quite new to trading, let me tell you that it was the CEO for 15 years Nick Robertson who built ASOS. Mary Turner as Non Exec Director did not last long & contributed very little. As for Robert Pursell- he was probably still at Uni & may have bought the odd hoodie from their website.
You just cannot come on here making things up, you make yourself look a bit stupid & very amateurish. Who knows what else you have made up?
Do you even own any shares?
Your constant one sided analysis has cost many naive traders a lot of money.
Jambon: Take a look at waheed....
Take a look at Mary turner
Take a look at Robert the cfo
The 3 people i have just mentioned built asos
You're going to have to stop embarrasing yourself on Public forums. Mary Turner was only a non executive director of ASOS. She had nothing to do do with the day to day running of ASOS. Just like Emily Sheffield is with Koovs.
Robert Pursell didn't even work for ASOS!!!!
I suggest you get your facts right before posting your rubbish on here.
You still haven't answered my question.
Are you happy with the way Koovs treats us shareholders?
Thank you for your email, and I’m sorry for the delay in response
In regards to our partnership with Future Lifestyle Fashions Limited, we are continuing our discussions with the team and will update the market on our plans as and when it’s appropriate to do so. As we’ve said previously, we believe that FLFL’s leadership position as an integrated branded fashion player and Koovs brand and technology platform make for an unbeatable combination, and we are delighted to secure their investment in the company.
As regards disclosure, I would emphasise that we report in line with AIM guidelines and take both the principles of disclosure and the disclosure of price sensitive extremely seriously. On a related note, I would stress that HT Media and FLFL are committed long-term shareholders, and if they were selling a material portion of their shares then this would be reported via RNS.
In regards to Hardman and Co’s research, this is conducted by a third party analyst, so I’m afraid I can’t comment further about their modelling assumptions, but I wanted to share the latest report on FLFL’s investment, just so you have it: http://www.hardmanandco.com/docs/default-source/company-docs/koovs-plc-documents/06.07.18-funding-for-the-future-now-secure.pdf
In terms of the AGM update you refer to, this was a General Meeting (rather than an AGM) held to pass Resolutions in connection with the Capital Raising, so was more ‘procedural’ in nature than our AGM. Our AGM, which follows the publication of our full-year results, will be held in September (a specific date for this year’s AGM will be confirmed in due course).
We are extremely grateful for the support of our long-term shareholders, and as outlined in our Strategic Acceleration Plan RNS (1st March 2018), our capital raisings have sought to balance the Board's desire to provide short term working capital and to invest quickly, in scale, to take advantage of the opportunities presented, whilst limiting dilution of existing investors as much as possible. We are very pleased to have attained the levels of funding we have secured, alongside the support of our strategic investors in HT Media and FLFL. The funding provides an important platform to support our future growth, and we are resolutely focused on scaling the business to leverage our competitive advantages as India's best-established affordable fashion brand in what is the world's fastest growing economy.
As ever, I and the rest of the team remain extremely grateful for your support.
Best Regards
Rob
For anybody new on the share scene and looking to invest into Koovs, do not listen to this guy. He is full of **** and lies beyond belief. DYOR but please do not trust your hard earned money on what this guy says.
Be very careful on what you read from posters in here...check out putneys history... talks about top up after top and then ****s every member of koovs staff off...
Says he can get no contact from koovs then says him and other holders are in constant contact with the bod
Talks about how good the flf deal is then ****s it all then ****s it all off
I would advise every holder to go and read back through all the recent rns's and also take a look at how the koovs app is performing in the app charts...
Take a look at all the awards koovs have won
Take a look at flf as a business...
Take a look at Biyani the king of retail
Take a look at waheed....
Take a look at Mary turner
Take a look at Robert the cfo
The 3 people i have just mentioned built asos
Take a look at the growtg expected in India...
It makes no odds to me whether any of you buy or sell...im just saying do the research...
PUTNEYS POSTS...
Just topped up with 20179 shares at 17.8p
I like to put my money where my mouth is ; )
The bottom line with companies like Koovs is that if you are happy with the Fundamentals, try & get a decent entry point.
I am more than happy. I talk to other large shareholders, in the 1 Million plus club. have had contact with Koovs & the analysts at Hardman & co. They never mention anything that is not in the public domain.
The HT Media move was a big Buy signal for me, showing me that Funding has been sorted.
The reason that I am topping up at these prices is that a circular is being prepared as I type.
Looking forward to seeing who the new kids on the block are : )
Should find out in a bit....
Just couldn't resist, another 50,000 as promised at 18.2p
mr Jambon you said you were going off air please do the honourable thing and keep to your word
According to Jason Streets at Hardman & Co, EBITDA earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization used as an indicator of the overall profitability of a business to go positive by 2022.
CEO MARY TURNER has put back profits year after year.
So do not expect a dividend for at least 4 years if Jason Streets is to be believed. Remember that he has put a valuation of about £300 odd million on Koovs at the moment, valuing it at about £1 a share.
The problem we have is that the market does not believe a thing that Jason Streets, Mary Turner or anybody at Koovs has to say. It is all to do with the history of exagerations, waffle & BS.
http://hardmanandco.com/docs/default-source/company-docs/koovs-plc-documents/04.07.18-the-future-is-here.pdf
Not really lol - a more premature question would be when exactly might this hit 100p?
That could be the most premature, premature question I have ever seen!
Do we know about a dividend in future and when this might be? Obviously might be a premature question
For the record i think there are some nauty games going on here currently but i think the business is doing a lot better than people think and in the coming months we will see some good gains.... this is feeling very compressed !
That's really good Jambon well done
