Member Info for Peoplepower1

cneighbour - I've come into contact with too many people like you in life who think it's fun to have a go at others and never think of the other person's feelings.

They never think if they've hurt the person on the receiving end. They never think that others may see them as a d**khead for behaving in such a way.

Stop and think before you open your mouth and also before you make a comment. Put yourself in the other person's shoes and think, would you like to be treated like that.

If that doesn't work for you, then try asking some people how they feel about the way you behave towards them. That is, if you have the courage to do it.

Learn to be a nicer person. Life's tough enough for some people out there without you making fun of them, their actions or anything else about them.

If you wish to call that being serious, castigate me by saying grow up or whatever, then so be it, because I prefer to be serious, to be castigated with remarks like grow up, than to poke fun at others expense.

Select64 - much as I love most of your post.

I think you're kidding yourself about share price manipulation on bulletin boards like this. Read about it. There is info out there on it. Maybe you haven't considered the following:-

Boohoo may have a market cap of £4.2 billion. The market cap doesn't determine the share price. It's the share trades that affect the share price not the market cap.

Look at the share trades, they're are mostly small share trades. These small share trades affect the share price. There are only about 5m Boohoo shares traded on a normal trading day so small sell share trades affect the share price. This bulletin board affects the share price whether you wish to believe it or not.

I know people who trade Boohoo shares or trade any share don't want to admit that to themselves. They like to absolve themselves from responsibility for manipulating people into selling their shares and sending the share price down.

I do wish people who trade shares would stop trying to absolve yourselves from their responsibility of manipulating share prices on bulletin boards.

cneighbour - you like to have a go at people and that's not fun, Rubbing salt into wounds isn't fun, it's not nice behaviour.

Maybe it is to you, not to the person on the receiving end.

Take responsibility for your own actions instead of trying to divert it onto me.

cneighbour - it's more like d**khead cream

cneighbour - it had already gone up to 45p at 9.00 am so it seems to me you're being greedy trying to get others in after the rise.

Any pharmaceutical that's not making a profit is an extremely high risk share.

When shares go up too much, too quickly, then they usually come down too much, too quickly.

cneighbour - considering you mentioned FUM at 12.12 to moose201 when the share price was already up 45p I doubt if moose2010 would be laughing now because it's still 45p.

I don't know what price you got into FUM yourself. Please don't rub salt into wounds. It's not nice to behave like that to anyone.

moose2010 - I don't know what price you bought your Boohoo shares at, maybe 400p, maybe less, I don't know. Please don't take your bitterness out on me, if that's what it is.

I'm not a punchbag to be used by you or anyone else.

moose2010 - no-one can like their own post on here.

My perspective is not clouded form sitting on profit. There are no better shares than boohoo elsewhere. I want a share that is safe to invest in and will grow exponentially. That's Boohoo. The share price will catch up in time.

I'm not an expert on technical analysis. I do understand market sentiment. I'm not interested in trading. I've been there, done it, got the t shirt and it doesn't make you rich.

Get rich quick is a fool's dream. Getting richer slowly works for me.

moose2010 - I bought in at around 27p. Yes it gives me flexibility. Do you honestly think I would be holding 360,000 shares now if I didn't believe in the company.

I believe in the share otherwise I wouldn't still be holding.

I'm saddened at your lack of belief however that's down to you. Maybe think of Judas and what happened to him with his non belief.

I have not said anything about this share reaching 400p.

I turn on people who obviously don't know this business through and through and aren't willing to put the work in to do this.

We may be around pre-covid levels for some time. I don't know. You don't know. However I do know this is a great, growth business and it is a 100 bagger even from here.

moose2010 - my broker is Redmayne Bentley. I find them excellent. They have been voted best stockbroker of the year many times.

Others on here may use different brokers.

If you do, maybe you could say who and what you think of them.

moose2010 - there you go again. If you knew the business through and through then you would see it as fair value.

I think Simply Wall Street are adding up all the price targets and averaging them. That's all Simply Wall Street do. So they're lumping them all together and getting the average.

I've subscribed to Simply Wall street in the past and I've not been impressed.

I've subscribed to Motley Fool, to all theirs, Share Advisor, Hidden shares, Portfolio Pro, etc., etc.

I subscribe to Research Tree at present, this provides me with research notes on companies, Financial Times Digital Premium, Stockopedia.

I use a broker where I can get more help and information and research. I never buy and sell shares online.

You have to pay to learn about a business through and through.

Moose2010 - 40% below fair value was from Berenbery who have a price target of 460p.

If you want to invest in any shares then you need to know the business of the share through and through otherwise you'll end up a nervous wreck.

You need to learn about how stock markets work and how this affects the best of shares.

You need to learn that stock markets have their volatiles times like Covid-19, like the banking crisis of 2008, etc.

You need to learn that all shares have their volatile times.

It's only by knowing the business through and through that will give you the confidence to hold the share through any volatility whether it be related to the share, related to the stock market, related to the economy or whatever.

If you don't do this work, then shares aren't for you because you'll make yourself ill.

Your health is much more important.

From Financial Times 2 March 2021 - Read in full will help.

Punishment for coming forward about a crime is one of the recurring themes in US law enforcement. It can play out as comedy, such as when drug dealers dial 911 to report the theft of their stash, and more often as tragedy, such as when immigrants seek police protection that results in their deportation.

It can also play out as farce.

Shares in Boohoo slipped on Tuesday 2 March 2021 following reports that the British clothing retailer could be blocked from importing goods in the US on allegations of using forced labour. What set the ball rolling was a complaint to the US Customs and Border Protection agency, CBP, from Liberty Shared, an anti-trafficking organisation. It cited the supply chain review Boohoo itself commissioned last year as part of a reputation rebuilding exercise.

Boohoo said it was “not aware” of any investigation and promised to work with any “competent authority” to prove its products and supply chain meet the required standards. The whole episode brings to mind another recurring theme of US law enforcement — that gun owners are much more likely to be shot with their own weapon than use it successfully in self defence.

Boohoo’s response listed recommendations already adopted from last year’s report, which criticised management’s failures of oversight and governance but found no evidence that the company itself had acted criminally. These findings have become a key part of the armoury the group deploys to counter negative publicity around working practices, which first caught the attention of consumers and institutional investors last summer having been ignored for at least two years.

Yet the risk of Boohoo being locked out of its fastest-growing market appears vanishingly small.

America has been taking a harder line on slave-produced goods since 2016, when Congress closed a loophole that allowed their import if demand exceeded domestic supply. One of the CBP’s first uses of its expanded remit was to seize Stevia powder, a natural sweetener, from London-listed ingredients maker PureCircle, then release the shipment seven months later after an independent audit supplied by the company showed no connection with Chinese labour camps. More recent actions have targeted the Xinjiang region in China, home to the oppressed Uighur Muslims.

Establishing origin is challenging when raw materials flit across borders and fabrication passes between subcontractors. Reading a report on the Leicester rag trade will be easier for investigators than tracking down the provenance of cobalt-powered electric car batteries and cotton used in football shirts.

But having belatedly faced up to its problems, Boohoo’s reparation efforts go far beyond those of most fashion retailers. If its promises are delivered, the failings detailed in last year’s report will be historic. US authorities ought to have something better to do than hoist a penitent company by its own

Cuppycake528 - another one who has a lot to learn.

You invest in businesses whose founders are ceos or chairmen, who are billionaires and have most of their billions invested in the business. Then you get rich with them.

Simple.

Herekittykitty - if you had done any research at all about Arcadia then you'd know that Philip Green didn't invest in Arcadia at all. He was greedy and took a huge dividend out of Arcadia of £1.2bn. He had huge pension liabilities with Arcadia too. Furthermore, Arcadia wasn't a listed business. It had no shareholders except for Philip Green.

Boohoo is nothing like Arcadia.

Boohoo is a listed business, money made is reinvested back in the business. It buys brands cheap and makes them profitable in a short time. It has driven and passionate management. It has a founder Chairman who has most of his personal wealth invested in the business.

To compare Boohoo with Arcadia only serves to show how little you know.

Herekittkitty - you will never be rich because you don't have an open mind to investing. It is obvious you don't know this business through and through because if you did you wouldn't make such comments.

Stop being so patronising to people on here and go and do your homework.

You try to manipulate people on ere to do what them to do because you want volatility in the share price so you can jump in and out of it. That's your agenda. So at least be honest about your own agenda.

This is a share for the coffee can.

You buy it and hold it for 10 years and it'll make you rich. Those that can't see that having done their homework and don't know this business through and through.

Making loads of money is about knowing the business you're invested in through and through.

I bought 360,000 shares in 2015 and have held them through every up and down. I will be holding them for at least another 10 years.

Those that trade it may have made a few thousand here and lost a few thousand elsewhere. It's only by doing your homework that you can bet big on a share like Boohoo.

Reading comments on here is not enough to understand this business through and through.

Get off here and do the work you need to do to get rich.

If you're a person who is too easily spooked by volatility or negative comments then you shouldn't be looking at daily share price movements or intraday share price movements or be on this chat page daily or intraday.

Go away and learn everything about this business instead of allowing yourself to be so easily spooked.

Being easily spooked is a sure way to make bad decisions.

Herekittykitty - it looks to me like you're trying to spook investors or yourself or both. Getting spooked so easily leads to bad decisions.

Have you bought Boohoo shares or are you still trying to get the share price down to buy back in?

It's hard to tell what you're doing because you're in and out of Boohoo like a Jack in the Box.

Buy and hold Boohoo shares for 10 years if you want to get rich.

Return on equity (ROE) and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) are both more than 20% which are seen as excellent.

Gross Profit Margin is well over 50%. Anything over 50% is seen as excellent.

Stay focussed.
