Let the sheep buy the travel stocks, one little bit of negative news around variants they will be running for the hills again... not for me thanks. Long term profits in covid proof companies that are growing and making sensible profits with decent cash reserves and no debt helps me sleep better at night lol....
Also one thing worth noting, is many business are now using online meetings, considering most airlines make their money from First class and business class to survive, they are in for a huge struggle now companies are cutting costs, realising they can save vast sums of money not sending executives to needless meetings. A Far greener option too. Hopefully air travel will been sensibly priced in future so they are no longer used like taxi's.

Very happy to have a piece of a company that own pretty much half the UK High Street ... all bought at a bargain! even if they have a flea or 2 lol...
The only thing that killed the High Street was the governments reluctance to review business rates and sky high rents. Its not surprising that any hight street enterprise could endure such conditions. It really has nothing to do with online, every retailer has had an opportunity to put its offerings online and have succeeded. Unfair to blame Asos or Boohoo, it battle of the fittest, in the business world! It always has been and always will. Next have thrived having stores, it's all about stying ahead of the game and not being over leveraged. Good luck to Asos and Boohoo, looking forward to seeing these two fantastic online business transform these tired brands into something great again! Also hoping ASOS are able to take the flagship store in Oxford street, be great to see this giant on the hight street, I sure it would be amazing to visit! Nothing can stop Boo and ASOS now both leaders in their own right....

A jump like this spells danger and seems more like hopeful euphoria than sensible investing! Considering this company has operated at half to zero capacity for over a year, and is losing money! I cannot see the justification for such a rise, other than on a immediate hope of return to normality!. How companies that have lost millions upon millions with huge debt piles over the past year, seem to have expectations from investors that these losses will evaporate in 6 months...
It is still very early days for mutations, and it is already reported that the Astro Zenica drug is ineffective against the African variant., Unfortunately, the reality is Corona has only just started, and as much as we hope for a Magic Bullet, we should tread very carefully as it is still very early days. It is still unknown how long protection will last!
Completely agree...:)
Any good company is underpinned by these characteristics, and what a great time to take over these huge household brands as the digital era is gearing to take off. There has never been a better time in our history for online businesses to take advantage of the current situation and deepen their proposition and offerings.
The growth potential for Boohoo group is beyond imagination. This company has great foresight and Vision. Any business run by its founders are mostly always guaranteed success. This company knows how and when to buy the market, this in itself is priceless! It buys at rock bottom and turns them around with their proven formula. Their links to the Music and Fashion industry will only be further cemented moving forwards. Boohoo are not going to reveal their strategy to their competitors, however if you are smart, you will read between the lines and see the bigger picture coming together and it’s genius. There is no stopping this juggxrnaught now……..

Dorothy Perkins
Burton
Wallis
Debenhams.com is ranked #3 in the Lifestyle/Fashion and Apparel category and #811 Globally. debenhams.com Analytics data
Debenhams has been around since 1776.... and is one of the most recognised brands locally and globally. Sapora and Nordstrom are huge business's, so is look fantastic. This is a massive win for Boohoo moving forwards. Not often an opportunity arises to buy a big brand, along with partnerships and one of the UK's most popular websites.
Class play by Boohoo, JD and Next. pushed Top shop price up by another £100m. Good luck to ASOS, they are a good company. Be a nice asset for Boo to pick up later. :) We just keep mopping them up..... Yeee haaaa.... :)

Debenhams, Burton, Wallis, and Dorothy Perkins add significantly to Boohoo's demographic, and future growth expectations. Top shop adds nothing to Asos's demographic, they already sell Top Shop products! This move was made to stop Boohoo or JD Acquiring it! At massive cost.... Be interesting to see how the city view it.
I love both these companies, however my view is Boo has the edge, they are adding to their product mix as well as reaching and that spells more customers = revenue. On the other hand I am not how Top shop can add much growth to ASOS as it already supplies this demographic. I think Top Shop is a great brand to buy, but whether this adds £300m value to ASOS remains to ben seen. I can only see this as a move to stop JD Sports or another company buying it, and competing directly with ASOS in this market. Scary times for ASOS at the moment, and be interesting to see how this plays out. For me I find Boohoo a safer bet.
Boo know how to do business, their finger is right on the pulse, I would not worry about short term volatility, strong hands will pay dividends with this share. The full picture of their strategy is slowly emerging. I keep topping up on every dip as I have more confidence in this share than any other. This share is a bargain at this price, and profits year on year will keep increasing. This share has not even started to roll yet..... but when it does its gonna fly.... :)
American listed companies release great results - all shares rise!
UK listed companies release great results and shares drop!
Shares are increasing in price on companies in the UK that have debt piles of ridiculous proportions, have little idea when they will likely trade again, have no idea that when they do manage to reopen, what impact it will have on their business.
On top of this, new variants are appearing on a regular basis that could be more resistant to the current vaccines and no government has any idea when life will get back to any normality.
We only need one more mutation of a deadly variant immune to the vaccine and it's game over for most of these overly speculated companies, they cannot indefinitely accrue debt and expect to that some massive upturn in the future will dwindle it all away.
A wake up call will be coming soon!
I love Asos, however I do not see how Top Shop can add anything dynamic to what ASOS already have. However with Boo acquiring Debenhams, that was genius! Absolute Class!
I mean Debenhams website is Mega, and very profitable, and has a completely different customer profile to that of Boohoo, so I can see that this move is the best acquisition this year so far.
I am in complete Awe how Boohoo acquire great brands at incredibly low prices. Kamini knows how have a deal.... This company is First Class, and I am looking forward to hearing the profit reports moving forwards as this is only going one way..... the stars.... ***
Debenhams, Boohoo, BoohooMan, Pretty Little thing, Warehouse, Coast, Oasis, Karen Millen.... Nasty Girl.... i'm sure I have missed some out too lol.... you just can't make this up..... this company is flying... and not even had breakfast yet :)
While everyone was focusing on what they thought was the golden goose, Arcadia Group, Boohoo were working on the Jewel in the crown and bags it , Job Done! So glad I am invested into a forward thinking company that knows how to do business. This opens up a number of growth opportunities in so many other retail sectors and age groups . Debenhams is one of the most visited UK Shopping websites, not to mention adding millions and millions more customers to its already growing list. The possibilities for Boohoo are now endless...
More speculation and should be taken as a grain of salt, just like Next was a frontrunner a fews days ago! Maybe a test... to see where the sentiment lies with this acquisition. Next pulled out as they probably crunched the numbers and felt it was too much of a risk. Top shop is a great brand name, but many youngsters see it as old hat now. Not sure why ASOS or Boohoo would be interested at such a high price tag, especially when both these companies have huge brand awareness now. It's a gamble, and could be a very costly one at that.... be interesting to see how this all plays out....
