greenmile, you got it wrong yet again didnt you - with your 'ticking up nicely again dan' comment back on June 13th... i cashed out at 381p so not a problem this end, i'm now sitting back and watching the ramping continue whilst you dream of your wildly speculative 1000p+ price point. however instead....the share has dropped back to the price point i said it would and within the specific timescale i predicted, obviously you will not recognise this and dismiss my earlier posts. you seem to have gone quiet of late, perhaps even you have decided that actually perhaps something can stop the share hitting 400p, that being, realism, market share, sales, profits, a general downturn in business on the high street etc...do you remember you said 'nothing can stop it hitting 400p this month' on more than one occasion, well that looks a long way off now doesnt it - do you want me to pass you a cloth to wipe that egg off your face.
i'm an open book, no ramping, no de-ramping, no games, no wild predictions. nothing, just the truth and sensible thoughts on the present and near future. i live in market harbourough - joules birthplace, i know a number of senior people within the company, my daughter works trade fairs nationwide, i have seen the growth first hand from the early days... but hey, what do i know compared to you.... however, if it reaches �10 in the next 2 years then i'll give you a heartfelt pat on the back and a huge apology, i dare say you will not be as gracious should the share tumble back to �3.30-�3.40 price point in the next 4-6 weeks.
i have done a u-turn today and decided to hold for a couple of months, after debating a �3.60 sell earlier today. i still cannot see �4.00+ unless they invest in new designs and ideas going forward / expand into new markets. if they do not and simply plod along to the same tune assuming people will want to continue buying more of the same in small market tows in the south then this will dip back under �3.40. but i'll ride it out and see what occurs before profit taking from my launch price entry point. this is not ramping or de-ramping, its my personal outlook and plans for my holding over the next few weeks, thats all... see the difference?
wow, i have called you out for making moronic wild predictions month after month about this shares future price and showing you up to be fools of the highest order - yet you call me mindless?.. you silly little boys. i do hope others will read into this and see your game play for what it truly is. there is no stalking involved, greenmile has littered the board with nonsense for months, so I felt the need to ask why and see what his crystal ball or sh*te holds in store for us all going forward.
greenmile.... you at least make me smile in april you said - 3.40p today and nothing can stop this retailer hitting 4.00p - well it didnt and hasnt in may you said - this will surge past �4 this month - well it didnt and hasnt (after RNS) now in june you are agreeing with dan the muppet - that you feel ' the sky is the limit' and you are both holding for �10.00 'initialy' you are at least providing us with entertainment watching you ramp this share with your wildly ludicrous predictions without thought or merit... fail each and every time. please do keep offering us your solid words of wisdom and in depth knowledge, what are your thoughts for july and august, 400 stores to open in north america perhaps? the share to peak around july 18th at �22.55? a company buyout by next?
#greenmile - this will surge past 400p this month i'd say no, not as i've seen the mini crash this morning, but solely on a fashion / fad basis. they have been producing their floral patterns for years now in various colours and styles and feel its over saturated. you cannot walk down any high street or visit a gastro pub garden without bumping into a yummy mummy or 5 all wearing the same tops and its gone a little o.t.t, or dare i say chavtastic. the fabrics fade, the products shrink easily and the woolens bobble and stretch within a few months, they are not great quality and more style over substance. hands up the kids clothes are good and seem better made and last ages, they also look lovely - but - m&s, next and even sainsburys, tesco and asda have all ripped off the joules prints to varying degrees this year so will parents pay up to three times as much going forward essentially for an embroidered rabbit!? the jury is out and i feel this is well placed at 300-340p, 400p looks some way off until they do something drastic versus simply relying on consumer confidence and repeat business.
buying at 3.30 and selling at 3.80 is paying for all my hols .... so have you had two hols this year, looking at the charts, its only dipped and increased from 3.30 or below -3.80 or above on two occasions during 2013.
unless you are a prophet, your advice and guidance is of no interest to me as you dont know what is going to happen to this company or what is actually going on behind the scenes unless you are actually on the b.o.d of course.. are you? if not, each to their own and i'll take my chances and look you up in 12m either way to mock you - or apologise and bow to your almighty gifted powers, hopefully the former. i see no reason why you would be on this board on a regular basis spouting your negative comments and scaring investors, as clearly not holding so perhaps you are deramping and waiting for your op to get in on the drops??
as you state marvin, the sp is not a major concern for long termers like you and i - and the rns stating money spent is equally not alarmingly unless they were making no effort to take the company forward - how on earth are the company meant to operate and progress to market without spending money. anyone invested here should have researched the company pre investment, like i did. the money invested in the company is working capital to secure up deals for the future and then the SP will rise of course, if secured - it is a mid-high risk share, but its a gamble worth taking, on an important relatively new company in this undervalued sector. be patient, perhaps be very patient and dont worry too much about the SP, even if it goes to sub 20p nothing will have changed, they are still working hard to make this work for all concerned and things will recover to new SP highs imo to 36-40p in 6-12m. i am very happy to hold and would far rather be in than out of this share at the 0.22p i paid recently and i will top up again if they drop to the same levels.
each to their own, but i am very happy to hold these shares at this low sp. there are a lot of shares in issue but that doesnt reflect on the company badly at present, they are working hard to secure major deals and tie ins and have a good solid b.o.d plus excellent technology in place to come good...very quickly. i can only see this going one way really, especially once news is released next week. telling p.i's to AVOID is serious deramping and very negative.. what companies are you talking about when you say other are doing the same thing better??? because i dont know of any in the UK worth investing in with the potential BIOM have right now.
im a novice but read the financial press at the weekends and keep an eye on lse forums for shares in my porfolio. SL. baffles me completely, how can a company that doing excellent business LFL be nearly a pound a share cheaper than this time last year when the ftse is at a similar level. this looks a sure bet for recovery doesnt it?? or am i missing something, i know there was the resolution offer/pull out that caused issues but thats done and dusted now and they seem to be focusing on existing and new business going forward. i cannot afford to lose on this really - and although all shares are a gamble, this one looked as safe as a building society account but with a damn site better interest!! whereas now i think i'd have been better to leave the cash in my northern rock account (hmm, then again). any comments would be of interest as im considering maybe investing a little more to bring my average per share cost down, and sit it out for another 24 months and keep my fingers crossed. help......
thanks jonty yes that makes sense doesnt it, people must have wanted to sell earlier but thought best to hold for the year to achieve max profits and the share price has reacted to such a high volume of people offloading, i'll stick in for the long haul then afterall and re-assess towards october when hopefully they will have recovered.
i thought this was a very low risk stock as the company is seemingly going from strength to strength worldwide, business and profits wise. so why can a share drop from 353 to 315 in a matter of 2 months when the ftse is stable and other life assurance and insurance companies seem to be on the rise. is there an underlying factor with s.l that isnt known to the general public like me, i am jittery as i really need this money for a new kitchen which i was banking on for the end of the year if/when the shares reached approx 3.75. i read something about a french company they own share in and friends provident in the paper on sunday but didnt really get it - maybe there is some takeover talk or someone is paying to much for something? any help on this from anyone would be of interest. do you think im being greedy expectig them to constantly rise, is 353 likely to be the highest these shares will ever see, is the company overvalued, shall i cash in now if theres problems on the horizon?? many thanks.
