We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Why thank you Sam
Blimey those goal posts are in the stands now, they get moved so often they should be on wheels. Deflectometer now on overload, nonsensometer switched on.
Glad to see you state that (quote)" plt are maybe worthless now".
id not have suggested that myself, but BOO undoutably paid over the odds given its current value, as i have said. If you think they are "worthless" then fair play to you, im happy to hear anothers opinion, even when i disagree.
Asos, i dont hold them so i dont really care about them, but its an accepted view, held by most sensible investors that director buys show confidence in their companies, lack of them the opposite.. Several others on here mention it too. Upto you if you think the contrary is correct, personally i dont rate your views and rants much at all as generally they have been shown to be way off the mark, but i do consider you are entitled to them.
Not sure why you keep mention8ng debenhams in isolation, id prefer to see the whole picture of the businesses, 13 brands now is it?, but happy for you to remain under the illusion that just debenhams seems to be performing, one of the component parts only. Although the BOO share price itself also seems to be unimpressed by that same argument, clinging well onto the low 30's still.
Welcome to your ownmopinion reardon, as indeed are all the posters you mention.
If you dont want to read a specific persons alternative view then the answer is in your own hands. filter them, saves you having to then. easy.
Good post Bon,
fancy even him trying to make out it was a single one off trade, full of something
Oh tradey you do talk some carp, but a complete diehard does dig in in ggeneral when challenged so hardly surprising given your position here.
Rcf £300m is it? you topped it up or something?
last i read it was originally £325m, then a lender of £75m pulled out extending it because of their risk analysis. do try harder with the math.
as for "scheduled to return to profitability", supposedly, according to you "before mid 2026"
that is some pathetic baseless claim we've become used to seeing from you.
Neither I, the BOD, and especially not you have any concrete factual evidence of this at all - it is simply a guess and totally unproven, as well you and the rest of us know.
yes it waffles on about that in the company rns's but they are not a given are they - they are in essence a complete GUESS or PROJECTION or whatever else you and the BOD dress them up as.
Id suggest you view such guesses more cynically given the silent BOD's lack of interest and ability here. I mean, how many "growth" plans have they announced now, 2-4? ive lost count. Same as the continually reducing option prices.
How many shares has the BOD bought in at such rock bottom prices? thats right. None.
Thats a display of confidence for you, eh!
How much is that stake in Plt worth now? far far less than daddy paid his son et al for it (with shareholders monies). Bargain of the centuary for sure lol..
How is daddy spending his day? The answer is posting the odd photo on his yacht and an inspirational quote here and there. "everyday is a work day" he states.
Well maybe he should do what he says and do something to arrest the runaway decline thats been evident for several years now - with ZERO sign of any tangible recovery at all.
How low would this be if Big Mike didnt buy his 20%?.
Nobody else is buying this basket case, are they, and even big mike seems to have stopped now and not want anymore.
Look at the sp man.
The last few years here have been and continue to be a complete DISASTER, anybody with any sense can see it, alas you continue to do what a salesman does best, spin spin spin and attack anybody sensible enough to open their eyes and look objectively.
All done out of personal obsession and desparation having had money tied up in here and declining in value for yonks now.
Its great to see such a ramper on his own spike on here, too many get away with intentionaly misleading others.
You love this company so much, you are blinkered 101% towards it - your choice of course, but wont disclose your average, nor any buys, but its clear to everybody that your in deep, too deep and more and more desparate to close down the real story here.
I would feel sorry for you. . . .. . . but the way you behave prevents too many tears falling.
Oooo i see those goalposts have been moved to the centre circle and the deflectometer is on maximum warp drive again, always the same with old tradey/new bfd, deflecting away from the answer already provided, as below.
"Because Coasty hailed it as a stellar recovery play, that's why. Take it up with him."
Anyways, we all know The BOO brand is tarnished - had nothing but a serious drubbing for the last few years, and i dont recall anybody investigating Sdry for any shortcomings? In fact id maybe go so far as to say, with its drubbing and absolutley p1s5 poor PR efforts the BOO brand is now an actual liability! Sure as eggs are eggs nobody is buying the company story anymore, are they?
Debts, well, they are running on credit it would appear at the moment, happily munching through others money using the now reduced RCF. Perhaps they have planted a magic money tree to replenish that at some point?, one previous lender refusing to extend a good portion of it, as clearly with the forecast declines in revenue those servicing costs are under pressure (im being kind there).
As for high street stores - well an online seller wouldnt have any of those would they! They have however tried a pop up shop (was that waste of time repeated aagain - nope) and they have, through further scandals being exposed (labeling) been forced to close their 'centre of excellence (cough) in very short order, possibly to pop some coppers back in the till.
So, why given all the scandals, poor PR, and desparate position the company is in, in a growing market as well, wouldnt the still totally silent BOD fancy taking this back into private ownership?
It would make sense, they have rinsed the shareholders once (more if considering the PLT overpay) and enriched themselves with multi coloured lambos etc etc, all paid for at the shareholder expense, why indeed not try it again?
I mean that bargain basement share price - all the way down from 432 to 34p - some 90% decline, has shown a stellar performance from the "growth" companies board. Most firms would have booted them out for being slack a long time ago.
But dont worry, its all great in the BOO world because some faceless mug on a website said so, lol lol, and has been doing so all the way down.
Thats a big shame voltaire, we have one of their stores in my town. its never jammed full but never empty either to be fair, but that is one fall from grace when looking at the shareholder value.
Right to be concerned that the same could happen here, is certainly possible the founding fathers may fancy taking this back off market for a song, avoid public further scrutiny while they try to 'grow' it up again then resell, rinse repeat. Im sure big mike would do a deal to facilitate if he came out ahead monetarily.
The whole Sdry thing is a good lesson in that fickle fashion arrives fast, then disappears just as fast again, only fast fashion is even faster.
Back into the 34's again im afraid folks, just cant gather any positive traction in a better direction. Meanwhile we continue to be deafened with the BOD's silence and stagnation plan.
Awaiting the first post claiming 'big mike' will be adding soon and riding to the rescue once more.
Hoping so buddy
And all in a supposedly growing market as well.
The peddled narrative of the rampers makes no sense and this is clearly borne out in the figures, revenue, profits, share price and share demand etc etc
Be in a right proper mess if the market was 'declining'
Well i hope you are right Darien, must say i expected a bit more volatility rather then just the daily up/down here today, after that article posted by Evi.
He Must have muscles like King Kong carrying all those goalposts around eh Sam ;)
Reminds me of the how do you tell a politicans lying saying
Similar web? why on earth do you think visits there result in BOO purchases.
There is no evidence whatsoever that says 'x' visits = 'y' sales made.
To suggest otherwise is just fantasy thoughts of your own and utterly baseless.
You dont halve hang your hat on a lot of guff.
I will give you an example, an easy one because you clearly need it.
On this LSE website i am bombarded with adverts for all sorts (quite annoying actually lse).
Now im quite sure some numpties click on them and drive advertising m9ney towards Lse itself. Similarly, some opt and pay for premium services like level2 if they choose.
No worries with that not coming from my pocket so i dont care.
However, it is a fact that many many many more people visit this website, purely to read the 'information' displayed upon it and do NOT avail themselves of such paid for services or adverts.
In fact i would go as far to say that the vast vast majority of people/traffic visiting this site does NOT result in any sale of product at all.
The same will no doubt be true of people browsing on the BOO site.
You seem to think, as your a self confessed salesman wrapped up in your own importance, that visits and statistics supplied from the likes of similarweb always equate to sales.
They dont, do they?
Just more bs from an underwater ex-salesman with to much time on his hands who is desparate to talk up his failing investment.
Trouble is, people have seen through you, all the way down from the 400's.
Do pleas (spelt wrong to amuse the english teacher) have another read Tradey,
You seem to have your numbers all jumbled up in your haste to attack and twist.
The 19% you refer to as a sales decline was actually a figure given in the article with regards to the SHARE PRICE decline. So, nothing to do with sales at all.
Ive pasted it for you below, ask the teacher reject to explain it for you. Orcam's are good if the eyesight is failing so im told.
I can only assume you didnt understand what you posted?
"Shares in the online retailer are down 19 per cent as it battles to turn around its fortunes under chief executive Jose Antonio Ramos Calamonte.
Analysts point to challenges including supply chain concerns, consumer caution, bad weather in the UK and competition from the likes of China's Shein.
The company will publish results on Wednesday that are expected to confirm an 18 per cent fall in sales for the six months to March 3."
"I love that you act all high and mighty, then spell opportunity wrong."
Maybe i had a carp English teacher at school who had to leave these fair shores to teach elsewhere due to their own inadequacies? Who knows.
Id agree with a fair portion of that Thereal. Sales will be down, no doubt at all, be good to have the guidance figures confirmed/updated to actuals, but one things certain the headlines will be that resultant figure and sentiment of investors will hang on that headline, particularly if its reported poorly in the media with bells whistles etc, im not so sure a guided 18% drop will be 'neutral' if confirmed as an actual, having such poor figures highlighted a second time isnt favourable.
Oddly, assuming the two firms figures are confirmed down, as per their guidance numbers, id be very interested in how they explain this in an apparantly growing and improving market?
We keep getting told on here by some that clothing sales are "predicted" to be rising in a huge way - yet the 'guidance' figures both at Asos and BOO seem to be declining, ny the companies own admissions - so who's selling all these increases. Shein etc?
Err nope, they are releasing the figures on wednesday.
They issued 'guidance' only previously, which isnt a confirmed figure at all, just guidance on current situation at that point in time - it may have changed since. Do you not understand that.
And who mentioned 18% - i didnt that would be you.
Why pass up the oppertunity to have a pop though and twist what was written, as usual.
Some fun and games apparantly on the way then this morning Evi.
Never a smooth ride with glenda
Place your gambles ladies, gentlemen and rampers, seems asos results looming "amid slumping sales" are on the way this week.
Should make for an interesting bleed through here, keep those pinkies crossed and top up the hopeometer for good news.
Catalyst for £6.50 and mega divis maybe just around the corner?
https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-13307237/Asos-results-loom-amid-slumping-sales-left-fashion-investors.html
Down or up tomorrow, that is the question. Can the sp extract itself from the doldrums or no.
Then when are the promised divis coming rolling in?
BOOOOOOM
