Give it a rest T4G - you started the day well but have resorted to type. Pedro has an opinion about discretionary spend - so what? Does he have to back it up with a dossier? I think not - it's just his own opinion - get the hell over it you bully

Keep it up lads and lasses and the spectrum inbetween - this board seems almost civil this morning.

Yes - T4G comes across as some sort of bullying prefect desperate to be allowed into the top dorm to play soggy biscuit but taking out his wrath on all and sundry.

OK Fair play - just getting back up to speed with this - got out at 49p a while back and back in now with a profit so that's nice. I see T4G is still being a very sad old grumpy draws what with his catastrophic losses and all - lol

@CWWX - no idea what you are on about mate

You might wish to read the news section re RevB's Boo rebuke - comments?

What a ridiculous drop in price for stating the obvious re inflationary headwinds. Occasions will continue to happen requiring attractively priced occasion wear so I remain happy to hold and have added a few at a bargain price this morning.

Don't get too excited - this is obviously cynical mm's doing it for their mates so they can cash out lol!

I'm happily not invested for now but apparently there is a law that I cannot post here or even read the virtue ramping comments so whatever. I guess I'm a troll now fol de role.

I have gotten outa here at just under 49 - roughly evens. If professional players are increasing their bets on a fall and this is topping that short chart then I, as an amateur, am happy to watch and wait. Either they will be right and I can come back in at a lower position or they will be wrong and I will run for the train on the way up. Seems sensible to me but am interested to see if anyone (apart from T4G) can tell me why this is foolhardy.

In the absence of other news, holding in the mid 50s for a sustained few days trading will be just fine. Shallow step patterns will be the ticket.

All in all a good day for positive investors - have a good weekend all.

All aboard, All aboard!

The flag is in the air and the whistle will blow..

I anticipate a good closing price today - yes it's an opinion, get over it

In my mind, these are the facts:-

Short Position reducing month on month - you decide what that indicates
Inflation reducing month on month
Headwinds reducing
Senior management performance now linked to sustained improvement in shareholder value with incremental benchmarking (what's not to like?)
US outlook improving
US Distribution hub getting ever closer

Obviously there are downsides largely linked to global uncertainties, and no doubt numerous other factors which some will delight in pointing out. Naturally, being invested here has it's own risks for which we are only too aware but I feel that the potential for upward progress outweighs the downsides. Given I am not underwater the biggest downside to my investment would be a 40% loss imho which I deem unlikely - I can live with that. The upside is quite a few bags and for that reason I'm in for a while or so.

All the rest is noise.

I thank you.

Dear trading4good,

That 2nd paragraph - rather unnecessary don't you think?

Hi Mr Muppet,

Thank you for that - didn't know that was out there and makes interesting reading indeed. Shame indeed to see them doing badly overall.

Hello,

I am back invested here but not underwater.

A question - when Tellworth opened/increased their short position on 20/1 and subsequently increased this on 23/1 it would appear to have been unprofitable to do so based on current price. The increase in % position on 2/2 and 3/2 was presumably around the 50p mark which is marginally favourable based on current price. These guys can only be doing ok probably if they opened their position at say 0.4% way back in August when price was above 60p. I am casually interested in knowing at what price they 'acquire' the shares i.e. is this info publicly available? Also what premium is involved in the transactions? What is an acceptable return for a shorter? Maybe someone can do more mathematical analysis or shoot me down whatever - I can take it (unlike some)

Any insights appreciated

I reckon they should cut and run frankly but ,then again, all of us positively invested here would say the same.

imho dyor blah blah blah

A 20 second tree shake?

Rather hot today - young people will have little need for clothing today so middle aged investor collar overheat and collapse inevitable - expect a pert bottom, a midday midriff and a double whammy towards the close. Word.

Looking at the numbers, I am looking at a target of 30p plus before considering my options

Something seems to be going on here...hmmm
