The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode with Inclusive Asset Management's Alexandra McGuigan has just been released. Listen here.
Nothing I can see. I did search, but maybe just the lockdown, kids staying at home and engaging with parents who want to relive their childhoods?
Seems to have survived the lockdown announcement then. Given everything else this week, its still going to be an unsurfaced road for a while me thinks :)
Given all the above, think it is worth the price it sat at last month, and came to that decision, buying back in when SP was 214. I am guessing your Q was somewhat rhetorical :)
Senortoro - I think you said get in now and thank you later on 8th July when the price was at 261? Do you just post this on a daily basis, as had anyone listed 6 days ago, I dont think they'd be thanking you just yet.
Well said Steviesteve7
Whether you fall in the category of "its doomed" or "buy buy buy, you'd be silly not to", neither are correct and nothing is guaranteed. It could go either way as quite simply, you nor I have ALL the facts.
For those that were saying buy only a few days ago, while it was sat around 260, made the wrong call, but it could have been the right call. Getting the "best value" is an unknown until the opportunity has passed. Rather than offering opinion and slapping anyone who has a different one to you, why not just accept everyone is different. Opinions, beliefs, understandings, risks are different. Lets spread some joy and hope that everyone is a winner at some point.
For the record, I dont hold any BooHoo currently. Have been in and out and have been lucky enough to time it well. Waiting to jump back in, but for me personally, my opinion is it is not the right time for me. It may be for you in which case good luck!
The only thing I find interesting is a 32yr old shopping at Boohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Said with such certainty - love it :)
I hope so for everyone sake, I really do.
I dont play the markets against anyone else, I play against the market. I've no interest if I am wrong unless I actually have holdings and my decision costs me money. As I dont have any money to invest in Boohoo I can lose. However I am far to concerned for long term to even consider dabbling with this again but wish you well and will be monitoring. I hope for everyones sake that next week you can say "told you so!" :)
I think you may regret your decision, but I also think it will be a long long time before you do.
I bailed out a long time ago. Holding this share, felt edgey... then it felt good... then great... to the point it was a little unbelievable - a sure sign that it usually is. Dont get me wrong, I made a profit, a healthy profit, but yes I could have made more. As it happens I re-invested and made approx the same had I stuck around, so there is no bitterness or jealousy driving this post. Just my honest opinion.
I've read a lot on here the past few days, as I was looking at buying back in a few weeks ago but held back (was holding tight with BARC). Sadly despite others opinions (and remember thats all they are) I dont see this as being comparable to ASOS as has been mentioned. Different league. I cant see this recovering to June levels for a very long time as there are so many questions that need to be answered, internal reviews, corp governance and then a big PR to show changes have been made.
Yes you will still get millennials wanting a bargain, and they wont lose their customer base over night, but they will lose a lot. They will also need to increase costs. They will struggle to get celeb endorsements. Those factors alone spell for a long road to recovery for Boohoo.
Finally Exec buying shares at times like these, despite what other say, doesnt give me ANY confidence. I see it as a signal of panic buying to try to stem the fall.
Hahah, well my ride didnt last long!
Jumped off the train quicker than expected at 4.4001 happy with the couple of £k profit. Not sure what else to look at, maybe back to Barc if it drops below 110. Wish you all good luck :)
Was lucky enough to have a few £s to play with buying Barc at .82 in March and selling at 1.28 this month, so with a bit of profit have decided to join you guys on the ride, maybe for a week. Only short lived, but wish all well short and long term.
I was lucky enough to buy in at 82 and leave at 128 earlier this week. However I know BARC has legs to get to 150 easily, but like others, think it may hit 100 or lower first at which point I'll jump in with both feet again. Anyone still holding in there, if it were me, I'd stick around. I originally had this as a 12/18mth hold so dont think you're on a loser, just a long termer.
Notice that on 25th May 2 brokers made forecasts for Barclays;
1. Exane BNP Paribas today downgrades its investment rating on Barclays PLC (LON:BARC) to neutral (from outperform) and cut its price target to 130p (from 140p).
2. HSBC today reaffirms its buy investment rating on Barclays PLC (LON:BARC) and raised its price target to 170p (from 160p).
My question is how much, if any, do you read into these. Do you look at an average forcast (i.e. overall a recommend buy from most brokers, sell, hold etc). Would be interested in thoughts.
150 before the end of 2020, may even be Q3. Still look at this as a long term holding.
"I think you can forget vaccines the virus is literally dying on its feet same as Sars did and others. By end of June we'll back to normal I have very little doubt here in the UK"
I am guessing your assumptions are non medically based? Mine, which are front line medically based, are that we will not see this end similar to others mainly due to the R rate likely to increase as people, like yourself, seem to think you have an understanding of the situation most likely based on reports from the Daily Mail, or news conferences from BoJo.
If you had a similar news conference from a hospital, from someone in PPE, risking their lives day in day out, treating people who feel they are slowly drowning I would hope you, and others, would have a bit more respect for the virus and what covidiots actions are doing to frontline staff.
Clapping on Thursdays is appreciated, but clapping and those same people gathering in crowds on beaches is nothing but infuriating for us front lines staff. I appreciate a lot of this has come about due to the inability by the government to stand firm (and being non political I don't think any other party/individual would have done any better).
Back to BARC - still a strong buy from my POV and IO like the idea of jumping ship and being happy with return around the 150 mark. No doubt the opening of shops etc will help the share price, sadly it wont help my and others jobs of trying to fix people. Stay Safe and please respect the advice, if not for yourself, for the people who will end up trying to save your lives!
You may be right on the greedy front - my wife says that a lot when it comes to Caterpillar Birthday Cakes in particular. I guess thats the "fun" of the market. We all have our own ideas and limits and they're mine which may mean I never buy back in. If yours is 200p then I wish you, and others, well sir/madam :)
With China showing signs of recovery (will take month) and therefore supply will be addressed, the only further delay will be lockdowns and nightlife impacts, which will resume come summer. Therefore I expect this to slowly drain until around May time and will be looking at jumping back on the BooHoo bus after being absent for 6mths. 150p would be my ticket price.
Why worrying times? Banks underpin the whole economy, so there is likely to be more assistance to them, than, for example, a coffee shop. For long term investors its a pretty good opportunity and when I say long term, I am talking buy today and dont look/watch for 2 years. Anything less, I agree, I would avoid, but in the meantime I will continue buying.
