I think the 74.3% uplift refers to Jefferies buy rating and 500p target price when the Boohoo share price was at 296p

Hearing through the grapevine that Maxwell/Tesla have made an offer to settle out of court and it's been rejected by CAP-XX.

Please click on this link and read in full.

alwayswinning - we, the holders of CAP-XX knew last week, however, it takes time for new buyers to find out about CAP-XX and realise their potential hence the rise in the share price today.

alwayswinning- CAP-XX have great potential and a great future. They have already won a court case against Ioxus and been awarded nearly $6m for Ioxus infringement of their patents. They have settled another court case with Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). They are in a court case with Maxwell which they'll win. Tesla owns Maxwell.

CAP-XX have bought automated production lines from Murata at an extremely cheap price, retained Murata's customers and are about to make their first ever profit. CAP-XX supercapacitors are well ahead of others hence why big companies have infringed their patents. Supercapacitor market is growing and growing worldwide. Panasonic may be the next for CAP-XX to take to court for patent infringement.

Research, research, research. You can't do enough research when it comes to buying shares.

Tesla own Maxwell Technologies

Inferno - I'm guessing the herd left to chase Amigo shares because of the so called photo by Umar Kamani of the LSE Amigo page. This was reshared and reshared by those who had already bought Amigo shares to make it look like Umar Kamani must have bought Amigo shares. This was to get the Amigo share price up and it worked.

For me, I can't see Umar Kamanu posting his own tweets or being on LSE Amigo or even being on LSE. I would think he employs PR to do his tweets, instagram, etc. So I would think it's an employee who got it wrong and posted a photo of LSE Amigo and no doubt will be told off for doing it. The photo has since been deleted.

Boohoo - More Advantages for Buying and Holding

Boohoo was founded by entrepreneur Mahmud Kamani and designer Carol Kane.
The pair had worked together at Pinstripe Clothing, a company that was set up by Kamani's father Abdullah. It was one of the first suppliers to Asos and it designed and sourced clothes for Primark.
Kamani and Kane decided to cut out the middle man. They set up their own online fashion store in 2006, with the aim of selling on-trend clothes directly, and cheaply, to shoppers.
Some experts have said that one key element behind Boohoo's success is its online-only business model.
Boohoo bought Nasty Gal's brand assets, like its website and logos, in 2017 for $20m (£15m). It was founded by US businesswoman Sophia Amoruso who is credited with making the term "girl boss" mainstream.
Boohoo turns clothes around quickly
Boohoo adds new dresses, tops, accessories and shoes to its website every single day.
To turn items around quickly, it uses what's called a "test and repeat" model, where it produces small batches of lots of new styles - sometimes even just tens or hundreds of one item.
The company has the supply chains in place to then ramp up production of the best-selling pieces. About 40% of its clothing is produced in the UK.
Boohoo said that the quickest a piece of clothing can go from design to sale is two weeks.
The only company you can really compare to Boohoo is ASOS. LIke Boohoo it has an online-only business model. Boohoo designs and sells its own clothes. ASOS sells third party clothes. Hence why Boohoo's profit margin is higher than ASOS.

Social media is key to its success - superb use of social media, influencers and celebrities
Part of its success is down to targeting under-30s who prefer to take style tips from social media influencers and buy clothes on their phones.
Boohoo spent £116.8m on marketing campaigns in the year to 29 February 2020 - almost 10% of its total sales.
To drive customers to its website, it's worked on collaborations with influencers including Love Island contestant Maura Higgins and paid for celebrity endorsements from the likes of R&B singer Ashanti.
The strategy seems to be paying off. According to research by polling firm YouGov in May 2020, 11% of 18 to 24-year-olds had purchased something from Boohoo in the previous three months.

JWSM - Maxwell is owned by Tesla so I would think Tesla are using Maxwell products.

Amigo is a loan company. Umar Kamani put up a photo of the LSE Amigo page. So many have shared this photo because they've already bought Amigo shares and are assuming Umar Kamani may have bought some too or that's what they'd like the herd to believe. The herd have fallen for it and the only ones getting rich on Amigo shares are the ones who'd already bought and then shared Umar Kamani's photo to get more and more to buy Amigo shares and push the share price up.

Kayjay66 - I think the herd have gone after Amigo when it could be insolvent. I think they're betting on it not being insolvent. They'll be back.

chrisengland - how much did you invest? How much did you make? Percentage figures sound great without the real figures.

The herd mentality has gone chasing Amigo shares because Umar Kamani posted one picture of LSE Amigo. Is this how investment decisions are being made? Influencer like Umar Kamani posts one photo and everyone chases it. Research, research, research, you can't do enough research.

So read a little about Amigo. The founder is selling off all his 61% of Amigo and has been doing for a couple of months. He's down to about 16%. FCA are investigating Amigo for irresponsible lending. Giles Crawford was CEO and left last year due to illness. He's been brought back in to find a buyer for Amigo. Giles Crawford bought about a load of shares at 38p back in March 2020 when he wasn't CEO and obviously didn't know how bad the business was doing. More and more complaints have been rising over the years to FCA about Amigo. My advice would be if you've made some profit in Amigo then get out now. This chase on Amigo shares looks like a typical herd mentality to me, looking for the next big thing. Dangerous territory.

Boohoo share price is taking a well deserved breather before next leg up.

Well spotted Claretjay, that Chris P Perque joined the CAP-XX legal team against Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) before their court case settlement with CAP-XX. Looks promising for a settlement with Maxwell/Tesla.

Research is the key to finding and holding excellent growth shares like Boohoo.

To do this, read the weekend Financial Times from cover to cover, if anything interests you then research everything you can before buying them, research everything about them on a daily basis whilst holding them and attend all the AGMs. Only buy the number of shares you can research properly.

Boohoo have 9 brands, Boohoo, BoohooMan, Prettylittlething, Nasty Gal, MissPap, Karen Millen, Coast, Oasis, Warehouse. Boohoo are brilliant at buying brands cheap from administration and making them profitable within 2 years. Boohoo bought US company Nasty Gal for £15m and turned its revenue into £100m within 2 years. Each brand has its own management team.

Boohoo bought Oasis and Warehouse for £5.4m and no doubt each of these will achieve revenue of £100m in less than 2 years. Boohoo's revenue for year ending 29 February 2020 was £1.2bn. Boohoo's revenue in 2015 was £100m with the Boohoo brand on its own, now it's 12 times that in 5 years with 4 brands, Boohoo, BoohooMan, Prettylittlething and Nasty Gal.

Boohoo's revenue £1.2bn commanded a share price of £3. So, for example, a £60 share price would need revenue of about £24bn. Boohoo will do this easily. They are a great company with great management, great potential and a great future. They have 9 brands now, no debt and £350m net cash. They will buy more brands cheap out of administration in the future too. They adapt so easily to whatever's happening.

Boohoo have a great management team who always learn from their mistakes and put things right and better. The founders Mahmud Kamani and Carol Kane have been together for years. Carol Kane is the designer. They sold clothes to the likes of Topshop, Miss Selfridge, River Island, etc. They worked out they could do it for themselves online, hence Boohoo.

Their use of social media is amazing, they are always ahead of the game.

John Lyttle grew revenue for Primark to 7bn in 8 years and that was for bricks and mortar. Mahmud Kamani and Carol Kane brought in John Lyttle as CEO. They are excellent at bringing in the right people to run Boohoo. Their Finance Director Neil Catto has been with them for years and does an excellent job too.

Umar Kamani, son of Mahmud Kamani, has turned prettylittlething into £500m revenue in 5 years. He knows how to use social media, influencers, celebrities, has a MBA and knows his business.

The global Fashion Market is worth £2,000bn, Yes £2,000bn. UK is £71bn, USA is £330bn, Europe is £350bn and rest of world is £1,250 bn. Plenty for Boohoo to disrupt and grab. They are superb at disrupting and grabbing market share.

I have owned Boohoo shares since 2015. I have held them through every up and down, they always come back higher and stronger. I have done both, trading shares and buying and holding great growth shares. For me, buying and holding great growth shares has proved to be much more profitable.

Pmoran1969 - in the words of the great John Hume - "I learnt that when I was a teacher: You keep on saying the same thing over and over until somebody says it back to you."

For those of you who don't know John Hume then google him or even google the saying and you'll find out about him.

Marinello - feminism is about standing up for women and fighting for equality.

Misogyny is about keeping women down.

Pmoran1969 - thanks for the lecture. It sounds to me like you're the evangelical one.

The people you mentioned aren't open to having a debate. They want to decry me because they're traders. They jump in and out of shares however they never say how much they've gained compared to how much they've lost. Instead they glorify trading.

I want to show new posters there are other ways of making better money than trading. I know because I've done both. The ones who disagree with me have lost money, they just don't admit to it.

That wasn't a childish post and if you think it was then I feel sorry for you that you don't know the difference. My following posts to it were picked on by Marinello the original writer and Steveknowsnothin. Two posters.

If you're going to lecture me, at least have the decency to get your facts right before doing so.
