Regretably, and obviously must have omitted to reply by accident, but a shame they didnt take the oppertunity to provide some hard figures, rather than just make a statement, to these folk.
Seems most of the ftse companies and plenty plenty more managed to.

Welcome to your opinion West6809.
I dont get why you think im not equally entitled to mine and then resort to attacks and nonsense?
You can do what you want with your investements, nobodys telling you or anybody else what to do or otherwise, its an opinion board, both have em but you dont need worry about my fun punt, its down but no point getting all emotional about it is there.
Maybe use the filter that i have suggsted to you previously if you dont ever like a posters posts?
Spidey, i think if the US tell Shein to go and 'do one' im more than certain that the government will roll out the red carpet and bite Sheins arm off at the shoulder to list here instead, lets face it London needs a boost..
See a few of the current fashion followers over here are already crying 'foul' about the very prospect. Have no idea at all why they would be so worried
I dont recall mentioning misguided at all?
I have no idea why they bought it, nor care less.
Your not trying to cause an argument here again are you?
Of course not, we all pick a dud or two in this game im sure.
The ideal is to pick less duds and more succesful choices, and to learn not to panic when it goes the shape of a pair. Id imagine Staring at an empty balance is far less enjoyable.
The question was around the costs of payments BOOwHO makes to influencers though, not projected market sizes in the future.
Do you have anything to add on the question asked?
Always best to spend the bulk of your cash on succesful decent companies, too easy to lose your money otherwise, no?
Of course they are, what a dumb thing to say.
Im sure they could break it down and be open about its specific costs, unfortunately they dont, i wonder why?.
Not sure what they pay Mr Littler, but its probably not in monetary terms.
Now, BOOWHO seem to have more 'influencers', i prefer to think of them as advertisers with freebies, so i thought id take a quick five mins with a cup of tea and see if the old faithfull Google could give me an idea of what they 'charge'.
My thinking being that all these 'in people' they seem to enjoy spending cash on must be costing them a fortune.
Well no real luck before i lost interest and finished the cuppa, but i did find this rather daft 'influencer', apparantly approached by BOOWHO also wondering how much they should charge for their 'influence'. Doesnt look like much afterall

If Mahmoud sold at this lowly sp there would be absolute carnage to the sp, it would drop like a rock and destroy the rest of his remaining stock value.
He clearly isnt that stupid, so remains 'locked in' like everybody else dreaming of better days.
I believe the very same decision PDS came to realise over the weekend, before deciding to exit.
Losing ones capital, by either continual sp erosion, or inflataion eating away at its value over time, especially high inflation as recently, together with much better and more lucrative prospects elsewhere, makes hanging on with a larger stake endlessly in hope a complete fools erand.
Perhaps Mahmoud getting 5% for his cash in a nice safe bank, after losing £500m?
Be nice to see Mahmoud et al put their hands in their pockets, for once, and purchase stock themselves, rather than keep up the radio silence of the last year or two.
Doesnt show much in the way of confidence to the wider markets having them sitting on their hands.
Its not all about Shein is the decline.
Interesting article Bon, see they are suggesting a possible 'feel good' affect on asos/boo of the London list comes through, probably short term id suggest as any competative affect takes hold as there is no way boo will be able to compete sucessfully on price.

"Roll on the 2024 growth train...."
Unfortuntely, Seems to have been replaced by a rail replacement bus service.
And even thats got stuck in a pot hole.
And yet Tradey, look at that all important sp
Still trailing not so far above its all time lows, down 90%+ from the highs, where it has been languishing for the last 18 months going absolutely nowhere fast at all, growth plan after growth plan rolled out, lenders refusing to extend big portions of the RCF, together with the competition still eating its lunch.
Yeah id say its doing fantastic. Got to be worth theowing the kitchen sink at, for sure.
Welcome to your opinion Lidl, as i am with mine, which remains "bit of a sweaty congested dump i hear."
The first and second nouns you and Buffaloo both agreed with in subsequent posts.
The third, you dont have to agree, i dont care a jot either way, as its my opinion - based on the reasons i have given.
Anyway, im sure the kids are calling, or is it the middle of the night there now?
"projections" Boasty, is that where all your hopes are pinned for BOoWho? "projections", rather than reality.
"projections" is a word were familiar with on here.
The Kamanis have made quite a few "projections" - then had to revise them downwards i.e. revenue and incentive plan award figures, some several times, to name a couple.
Other famous ones
'Acid rain' - whatever happened to that?
''millenium bug' - another cracker to extract money into the It 8ndustry
'jeremy corbyn election winner' - cracking prediction, he was so wiped out he conceeded before a single result was announced.
'brexit'- everyone thought that was a nailed on remain vote, whoops.
'inflation is transitory'- Well done BOE, got that so right lol lol
'sanctions will stop russia' - yeah ok, cause they have.
'we will stop the boats' - yeah Rishi, sure.
'Putin wont invade' - unfortunately, he did..
'US is with you to the end Ukraine'- unless trump gets in of course.
Do you get the picture?
Do you seriously think people are going to buy huge amounts of additional clothes, when they cant afford them and dont actually need them?
Thira, that is a very good question.
People are still tightening their belts from what i see.
Dont see so many of the kids from the local uni on nights out these days either.
Clearly the markets 'seeing' the same headwinds.
Listening to some folk on here anybody would think fast is running flat out - it isnt.
50% market share in the US according to Statista.
260 million app downloads.
BOO going to compete with and eat into that, seems unlikely.
