The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
Just read on another site that Goldman Sachs have upgraded boo to a"buy" with a target price of £3.30.Could be a possible explanation for the decent sp increase today.
Has anybody out there in the real world any idea what is happening with the AIM. It is nearly 7 points up today.I have been out all day and had a quick look and saw that it was nearly 7 points up.Thought as boo is the top share in the AIM we might have had a good upturn.WRONG,so what caused the near 4p drop today,I haven't a scooby there has been no data since the last trading update that has caused the SP to become like a rudderless ship.If this continues the 2.88 after the update will have vanished into the ether.Know what really gives me the hump the Bod and the new CEO John Lyttle just seem to sit there and let the SP fall without a word.Last weeks ASOS debacle went by without a word from the BoD,nothing like "just to let you know out here" that boo are motoring" .ASOS are up 4.5% today.Lets dump the AIM and get into better regulated segment not run by the MM's.PLEASE lets just hear something from the Bod,buy some shares especially the new CEO.I thought that Lyttle would bring some retail nous.
We are where we are because the DUP for whatever reason decided not to follow the agreement they had the with TM/BJ in the conservative government.Forget all about the amendments made to the W act made by the remainers on both sides. If the DUP had voted with BJ in the latest exit proposals we would be home and hosed now.Why they didn't who knows,if they had concerns about financial implications regarding the NI/IofI agreement then common sense would indicate lets get it passed and discuss those matters afterwards.As it stands 10 DUP MP's have put needs of NI before the future prosperity of the whole of the UK.
jamesroo.After BJ got his WA through with a bigger majority than was expected.There was second amendment to slow down the process of passing the bill.This was won by the proposer and was carried exclusively as a result of the support of the DUP.if you have any inside track on the thought processes of their MPs maybe you can give us the benefit of your to quote "calm down man and respect your more knowledgeable betters like myself" superior intellect.The DUP wanted the backstop removing and to remain outside the eu customs union.BJ's deal obtained this for them,but they were unhappy about the fiscal aspects of the NI/IoI border.perhaps with heinsite they may have been better voting to have the process done and dusted by the 31st October and then discussing the way forward.Your thoughts on this matter would be much appreciated your omnipotence.(noun the quality of having unlimited or very great power.)
I niavely thought that boo might have had a good upturn as a result (no pun intended ) of the Asos rise.As it is impossible to second guess the AIM,the only thing that I am reasonably sure is that if boo had put out a set of results like Asos just have we would be back to 1.50 in a heartbeat.20% rise FFS on a dross year end The Asos CEO stated in his report that we had identified our weaknesses and are working to improve.Duh. 20% rise.
Looking at todays volumes shows nearly 4m sells and 1 m buys.Result the sp is up 1p.Again looking at the data there is nothing to support this.The AIM is broadly flat,nothing new on the major affecters.It can't be profit takers that will have happened after the recent update.I have been following the fashion retailers and their sp's are all over the place like a mad persons excreta.Take JD Sports as an example,they have just put out a stellar results,since then they have been wallowing,had a couple of 20p+ falls with no supporting data.Any advise out there would be appreciated.
Come on guys there must be somebody out there who has an opinion on JD share price.I am on a few share chats and this is without doubt the quietest one.
As a new PI with JD has any of the longer term PI's any idea what caused todays drop in the SP.Very quiet share chat here 'm sure some Pi's must have something to say about JD share price.
Good Evening fellow PI's.Has any one out there in the ether any thoughts on what is happening with the AIM.Yesterday it was about 4 points down and boo had a reasonable day.End of business today the AIM was down about 8 points and boo was down even after achieving a high of 274 and a low of 263.Volume was 2.1mill buys against 880k sells.Even after considering the MM's and the tree shakers all the data I have ever considered or researched should show a SP increase.Now some of you financially savvy guys will be thinking where did this drongo appear from and that is where I am looking for some guidance or advice.This chat board used to be buzzing and foot tapping when Jambon,Thorpey and a few others were regular posters were positive and bigging it up.After a big SP fall about two years ago they were castigated for being positive (Guru of Nothing) remember that half wit,would be king of the shorters.he is on the ADVN share chat for boo as Guru of Canada.Finish now as my ramblings are even boring me,haven't a scobby what the AIM stands for.>Karen Millen and Coast were launched yesterday on LinkedIn to positive reviews.Peel Hunt has a target price on boo of £3.50.Not a peep from the BofD.
Midway.The problem as I see it,the is no doubt that they should be kicked out.What or who do we replace them with.Please god that there is a finishing school churning out new MP's who have life skills,have had a real job,do not have parents or relatives who are MP's.I could probably list several other pre-requisites but I would only be fooling myself.We are stuck in this Life on Mars,Third Rock from the Sun,The Bodyguard vision of real life.The Speaker of the H of Commons has hijacked politics and common standards and then announces he steps down to take up a new position with the EU.Theresa May and. spread sheet Phil must be laughing their *******s off .I was going to launch into a ditribe about the opposition SNP,Lib Dem.Labour FFS.Think. I will just go into a darkened room and have a large Phyllosan and a quick read of the Daily Mail.
As a boo PI for over 4 years I have seen this trend after every update.It would be nice maybe just once to see the new CEO and fellow BOD members buying a nice branch of shares just to show us PI's that they want to make a statement of support.Is it the AIM and the MM,boo is the number one share in the AIM which is up today.I have read the podcast that the BoDs had with major anylists investment houses.It reads like a dream.There are currently no shorts open against boo,so why is the SP drifting lower when there is nothing to support this.Not quite sure what the requirements are for moving indexe's.Maybe the more experienced investors could explain this.
Hi .Jambon.We have quite a bit of history with boo sp.Think back to when we were expecting an explosion in the SP and to coincide with a trading update Carol Kane did a mega director share sell and some arse wipe city anylist was wittering on about a a small drop in GP.The next day day the SP was racing to the bottom.Who can fathom the vagaries of the AIM,we can remember the 140 something days.I was upside down for a shed load.I have stuck with boo and thought that it was only north from here.The recent update may have made the market factor in the big increase but I would still have thought that the update of today might have given it a bit more.It was down 15p at one stage today.Stiil it held up well in the end,just as well it's not the top share in the AIM and just wait for tomorrow's financial press eulogies.As Saint and Greavsey used to say "It's a funny old game"
Hi buzzby67. Wish you hadn't posted about the Spanish second hand car market.I lived in Spain for 10 years .2000/10.I had just got over the nightmares and flashbacks about their system.I think in simple terms is that the problem was that if they simplified the sale/purchase then too many people would be loosing a living.For example f you can't speak Spanish then you put the matter in the hands of a estoria who took care of the transfer.Simples, probably not their charges were usually about 250 euros + the government tax . A friend of mine thought he would take a chance and but off a guy at the side of the road.About two months later he had a bump and the Guradia Civil were involved.Cut a long story short,they impounded his car,there were about 40 traffic tickets outstanding (the Spanish never pay a ticket) because at that time the Spanish traffic computer system was pants.No local road tax had been paided on the car since it was new(this is a voluntary tax).He was told that before he could have his car back the outstanding parking fines and local road tax would have to be paid.The last time I was over there it was still in the ayuntiamento compound in Alfaz del PI.I once tried to explain to one of my Spanish friends about the sale/transfer of a car in the UK.He is still laughing.
Every day brings another strange twist in this AIM.Today it is up 6 points,the same as when boo surged last week.Result boo down nearly 1% and ASOS up nearly 6%.Had a look at ASOS share chat on lse nothing to indicate such a rise and nothing to indicate two days of losses on boo.Still plenty of posts on ASOS where they are getting stick from their PI's.
Honestly you couldn't make this up, boo now the number one share on the AIM and getting marked down after the best RNS in its history.
Hi Jambon and Thorpey.Hope you are both out there and having a rue smile.guruofnothing sends his regards,the muppet.
Keep smiling and HEALTHY.Gotmiester.
Had a quick look at boo share chat on advn.Lot of good stuff on there and some good numbers mentioned.There's a poster on there called guruofcananda,seems familiar when he was guruofnothing on boo share chat a while back.Still spouting his vitriol about boo and he is backing an up and coming mob called asos,anybody heard of them.Seriously a great jump today and looking forward to the 25th.Spetember.GLA
My 15 year old Granddaughter has just come to visit her Grandmother.They are sitting opposite me discussing the fact that Molly May from Love Island (don't know what that is) has just signed a Half Million Pound deal with Boo to become a brand imager? for PLT.Nice work if you can get it,hope she is worth it.My grandchild thinks it is cool and awesome,she sat there in a PLT top and leggings.
Mr Smith.Thank you.Gotmiester.
Good Evening.I have been following SLN for about two or three weeks now after I noticed that it was at the top of SP increases one day.Looked at the available info and saw that the SP was rising dramatically after a tie up with a US Drug manufacturer that looked like a great deal for them.When it got as far as 2.24 last week thought that I might take a punt as all the fundementals were in place.However since the high the SP is going south at an alarming rate,down 39p in just over a week.
I can't see anything that has dramatically changed in such a short period of time,no bad news,nor no good news.I have been watching the daily volumes since the 20th and they have been very low,less than 10k some days.Today was much changed volume wise in excess of 300k,mainly sells and one 100k sale.As I hadn't seen SLN till the positive article about the tie up, is this share one that is being manipulated by our old friends the MM's or are there shorters about.Is there any bad news stories hidden away.? Still think that this share is worth a punt,any info or advise from current holders would be much appreciated. Gotmiester.
Voltaire.I am looking at the data on LSE.It shows over 4 million shares traded today at 10am.4 million are shown as buys but the SP is down over 5p.Must be a mistake.Can'tfind anything in the financial press to indicate a problem.Gotmiester.
