Looks like the Nags are well over the first hurdle & have plenty of puff.
Coming up to the 51p marker & BOO looking a bit hesitant but still going for it.
ASOS still has the percentage lead & ain't looking back.

Traders remain on the start line waiting for the BoE speech.
Soft ground today with a chance of rain & the nags won't be in a hurry to the finish line.
BOO is favourite (7/5) to beat ASOS (5/3) as soon as he has woken up his jockey.

pipedreamer - eyes are on the next trading update in March. Fairly quiet until then I expect. It seems any news emerging from the US activates some movement with this stock. Looking east, any morning good news will create a little spike otherwise down down & down a bit more.
The good news is that there is good resistance at the current price & should that not break then the 50s will be normal until April. Not sure it will hold at 56p but the trend remains up.

SCB - looking at the Short history on BOO, shorting activity has not had a dramatic impact on the SP despite the common belief it has. Shorting activity at 10.3% had no more effect on the SP than at 1.8%.
In fact a 5% decrease in Shorts has only raised the SP by 10p this year. Where's the 400p gone since year 2020?
Ah, be a good trick eh! Now which cup has the money?

Aldebaran - you are correct, but misunderstanding how this particular stock price works. Basically if all the indicators & your personal belief say the SP should go one way it will always go the other. Think of it as a multi-dimensional chess game & the only way to win is to have three queens.

Corr jee - Grave dancers are out in this post & the hole in the ground ain't been dug yet for the true believer.
Longs ways to go yet, & the 48p stake can't be sunk into his chest.
Beware of the dark nights when toothy pegs will lunge at the meek before they scatter like hermit crabs.

T4G - For clarity to the visitors to this BB.
We have a 325M Revolving Credit Facility that is current & has been fully drawn in to cash.
There are fees to pay on the RCF which I think we very low at 1.*%
15M has been spent leaving 300M cash on the table.
No share buybacks on the table but takeovers of other brands are.
6% dilution of share stock is now on the table for a cash raise if needed for the next financial year starting March 2023
Target SP is 95p by 2024 with only faith to take it there.
Sounds like a hot air balloon going over the rainbow.
Backing every rise, hopefully no high winds & light on the sand bags.
May need some Helium but that's still stuck in the ground bubbling away (HE1).
I hope you do well at KOD, 88 may have reached its limit (0.75p), ALBA or EEE is better if their SP drops.

T4G - 300M - when did the cash arise? I thought they were still using the RCF.

SP has done well today considering the downward pressure, briefly made the 50s.
CAUTION - being negative on BOO makes the SP increase.

1p out.
Looks like a dip to 47p later this morning. Probably will end around 48p IMO

My understanding of the game is that the MMs' will open the door for the PIs to rush in then close the door say at 55p & give the door key to the shorts whom run down field with it.
Fools rush on fools news & there's no better fool than the one who thinks his immune to foolery

SCB - ethics are fine if supported fully be the UK government so that foreign products also need to comply before they can be sold. Looks like it will take some time to win over the protestors attacking Boohoo but at least the company is working on it.

Morning blip now gone. 50p looking possible. 9.30am is the reds turn.

spk999 - US trades may well have had an effect on todays SP if they were open. Eyes on tomorrow. Me thinking 52p still for end of Feb. 60p would be good but I think shorts are going to ramp up to 8% or above. I don't see a single driver that will steer the SP to anywhere near 100p at present, not even SCB in a Hotrod with burning wheels can pull BOO up to 100.
BOO needs some high impact stuff that shows some talent.

TRADING UPDATE DUE around MARCH 10th

January Independent story on online fashion - The Best!
https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/fashion-beauty/best-online-clothes-shops-uk-mens-vintage-womens-luxury-plus-size-discount-deals-a9155011.html
Nasty Gal comes out well.
Boohoo other brands don't get a mention - Boohoo discount code link at the bottom of a long page but not on the radar.

So what is so appealing with say ASOS? Played well with their digital marketing & magazine to target buyers. Not sure if the products are better but the audience is greater than Boohoo.

2019 takeover of Karen Millen & Coast. Don't hear much about these brands but they have a presence.
https://www.karenmillen.com/ https://www.coastfashion.com/

Boohoo has 13 brands I believe & a desire to absorb more according to Carol. Maybe REVB is to be next.

With no data it is difficult to gauge their performance under a Boohoo umbrella. Not even the Oracle T4G would know.

Simon - aspergers? Yes, I had three for dinner thank you.

T4G - 13:43

FINAL RESULTS FOR YEAR ENDING 2023 due out 1st week of MAY 2023

Short increase will probably mean a red morning & maybe a bumpy ride.
Might be a good time to buy 10% BUY, 60% HOLD 30% SELL if your thinking. If your not thinking Er Or & roll on your back with a horsey laugh.
For all BOO holders - luck aside, SP will rise slowly which is probably the best way. Any fast day gains will only fulfill daytraders pockets.

BOO need to release a "Growth Plan" to back up their "Incentive Plan" as that last RNS will haunt this stock for the remainder of the year.
End of year due out next week I believe & I can see a lot of waffles being prepared to cover the loss of profits.
I can play both ends of the fiddle but no tunes can be made without some well written notes.

A few major is the worrying part.

There is Madonna for Pretty Little Things but not sure if that would appeal to the GP

REVB - once trading resumes will be an investment for BOO but a drain on the profit line for BOO for 2023.
Inflation reducing (probably) but subject to eastern conflicts.
Indian deal - well maybe the most promising.
China - may soon have trade restrictions imposed.
ROW - is a long shot
US - best bet.
Kim K. - may just run out of talent.
BOO BOD - lacking in communication other than promoting themselves.
Conclusion: Can't push the SP to 100p unless some solid positive ground shaking movement is forthcoming.

T4G - inquiry....
Putting aside all current stories, what do you think Boohoo investors have to look forward to before September 2023?
Following your reply, what effect would that have on the company value & dare say the SP?

I may have missed it but other than inventory reduction & US warehouse momentum there doesn't appear to be many "P's" to put in the pot.

13% dividend coming up at Essentra - target buy in price is 200p

BOO has the splutters today. Needs the sun to shine .
