Or low, of course, depending on how you're looking at it!!
Blimey!!
Now I'm no expert, but a bounce rate in the 40's would seem remarkably high to me!
I can imagine many ecommerce sites would be VERY happy with that number
...is everyone from this board???
Seems remarkably quiet around here!!
I feel sure that this must have been posted already as it's just over a week old. It's a Times article by SMS that can be read, without a paywall here - https://archive.is/07gzE
Reading items like this really give me a sense of security that SMS is on top of his industry and has a cogent view on the future.
This is why I continue to hold here (my second largest investment) and why I think the current market valuation is plain ridiculous. They ought to continue buying shares at this level - I think they'll be worth much, much more in the not too distant future!!
All IMHO, obvs!
Have you noticed the age distribution of the Debs site on that link??
The largest bracket is the 25-34 year olds - almost 69% female.
Do you think this is BOO transitioning those who are getting 'too old' to be core BH or PLT buyers into the wider world of Debs?? Personally, I would have expected Debs core market to be older than that, but it sounds like excellent news that they're doing so well with an audience that's got a lot of life left in front of them!!
That soundslike the kindle of gash that you get in motley fool articles.
I always get the impression that they're more a paid advertisement than a serious journalistic piece.
Interesting reading, all the same.
Thanks Raz
Personally L5, I wouldn't go within a million miles of Shein.
Once listed, they would crumble as the mob zoned in on their CSR - what we've seen with BH would be nothing against what they'd dig up about this bunch.
Can you imagine the fun that the shorters would have with an operation like this??
Is this not like begging your wife's lover to move in to your house so that he will park his Porsche outside??
Why the fook would you want to house a company that does ALL of its business outside of your shores and by-passes all of your country's tax laws to put your own native businesses out of buisiness?? Does J (C)Hunt think that Shein would pay any corporation tax here??
It's almost as if Mr (C)Hunt is doing something for the benefit of the Chinese for no apparent reason...Oh! Hang On!!
I'm not one of the most prolific posters on here, but I've certainly lived a happier life since I started to make judicious use of the 'Filter' function!!
Each time I see a green box on here, I know that I've avoided some industrial-strength idiocy!!
I highly recommend it!
Interesting that Frasers see one thing, and shorters holding more than 68 million shares see something else!
Who do you reckon will end up better off??
Here a link that isn't

Worth a read, but just opinion really
I think Ragtrade's view on the current changes would be most welcome....
Calling Ragtrade!!
A couple of months ago, I received a letter about the small pension that I held with Aviva. It told me that they were going to move out of certain investments - fossil fuels, tobacco, armaments from memory. At this point, I transferred this pension across to my SIPP on the basis that Aviva were not doing what I EXPECTED them to do - i.e. get the very best return for my investment. If they want to signal their virtue, they're welcome to do so, but not with MY money.
I have also held for some time an investment in AVIVA in my SIPP. Upon reading of the views of AB, I have now sold this too. Again, if they want to signal their virtue etc etc.
I don't care a fig about colour, politics, gender etc etc - I simply expect the BEST person for the job. A meritocracy, if you like. I would suggest to AVIVA that they let the politicians do the politics, and you stick to making money!
It's still almost 70 million shares that have to be bought back.
On the face of it, Mike Ashley now owns >217 million of 'em and I don't expect he'd give them up without a big, fat profit.
They'll certainly not be getting any of the ones that I own!!!
You only need to look at the motorway service areas to see the power of brands in foodservice. It's not by chance that these have become almost exclusively branded operations now.
SSP have said for a while that they aim to become expert franchise operators, and were touting their expertise as such at a conference that I attended. Yes, the margins are lower, but the trust in the brands will compensate with higher revenues.
Results out tomorrow, and it'll be interesting to see if they're back above the £2.8bn they were approaching before the catastrophic lockdowns.
Hmmnn, maybe not - looks like mid January from past announcements.
Would we not be expecting a trading update from BOO over the next few days??
You do have to wonder whether MA is working in cahoots with the shorters, or perhaps just taking advantage of their operations.
It would be great to see them burned
