Negative and obtuse posters are never happy. If the share price was at 10p today, they'd still be moaning and bringing it down. Hence why they need to sell up or shut up.

I've also had my Boohoo shares since 2015. I will be holding mine for a further 10 years and even longer.

It's been my experience that those who have a problem with the governance of Boohoo seem to be the ones who are greedy, for example, Shadowfall and Simon Cawkwell aka evil knievil. Expecting to buy 100% of PLT for £5m certainly seemed greedy to me at the time and still seems greedy to me.

VirtuallyRich - If you don't understand the anger then read all the negative posters' posts for the past two years and even longer, then you'll understand.

Negative and obtuse posters keep the share price down. If you don't believe in the Company and you've no faith in the management and you've been saying that for two years and probably longer, then you put off buyers and holders. The share price goes down and stays down. It's a self fulfilling prophecy, simple, so get a grip, sell up or shut up, which is even more simple.

ChriskN16 - you may not let it affect you, however, it affects others so no-one should scaremonger on here at all. Had you kept your stake of £12,500 from 2015 you'd have made much more money than buying and selling as you have done for tax reasons. The amount you'd made would have offset any tax costs and if you'd held them in ISAs there would have been no tax costs for you.

I am not critical of the Company's governance at all. Shadowfall said the cost would be £1bn for the rest of prettylittlething (PLT) when it was about £300m.

Boohoo were right not to pursue buying 100% of PLT for £5m because Umar Kamani stated if they did then he would leave PLT and set up his own company in competition and rightly so for him. That certainly wouldn't have benefitted Boohoo shareholders at all. Umar Kamani has done a great job with PLT. Boohoo bought 66% of PLT for £3.5m, an absolute steal. Approx £300m for the remainder was a fair price.

Fortunately buyers must have come in after you sold last Wednesday. However, all buys and sells affect the share price. And, all posts on here affect potential buyers and holders. So please stop the scaremongering.

Zacks have upgraded Boohoo to Buy.

The UK has a new king of fast fashion; Boohoo. Boohoo also owns Pretty Little Thing, Nasty Gal, MissPap Karen Millen and Coast, and has hoovered up the dust of administration-bound high street stalwarts Warehouse and Oasis in the last month alone.

Boohoo’s speciality; fashion so fast it barely registers with much of the UK population. Unless you were in the target demographic of 16 to 24 year-old women, or had a daughter or son who shopped there, you may not even have noticed the Boohoo boom, for it has no physical presence on the bricks and mortar high street.

Steadily, since it was founded in 2006, Boohoo has become a force to be reckoned with in the global fashion market. Now, in the midst of a pandemic, it is really flexing its muscles - profits have soared in lockdown as it quickly adapted to selling Instagrammable loungewear instead of party dresses (sales rose by 45 per cent to £367.8m in the three months to May).

Boohoo Group has notably been adding to its fashion empire, buying up Oasis and Warehouse. This strategy, along with sales soaring in lockdown, have chimed with investors and it tops our share price and earnings upgrade momentum screen for the Aim market.

With every test passed this month on our screen for Investors Chronicle, they show that Boohoo could be a sector winner.

ChriskN16 - You're very naive if you think that. Every buy or sell makes a difference to the share price. Your sell made a difference to the share price last Wednesday.

Negativity has more effect than positivity on people thinking of buying and those that are holding. Shadowfall and Simon Cawkwell aka evil knievil know that. They've been using the same tricks for years to make money for themselves. Hence why they get the media attention to scare potential buyers from buying and to panic holders into selling. They don't believe the share price will reduce. It is simply tactics for them to get the share price down to make money out of you. The detailed report as you call it was full of scaremongering. I suggest you read it in full then you'll see for yourself. The Kamanis don't behave like a family firm. The Kamanis are decent people and if you did loads of research, then you'd know that. Shadowfall and Simon Cawkwell want you to believe the Kamanis aren't decent so you panic and sell your share. Shadowfall and Simon Cawkwell are the ones who aren't decent as are any negative posters on here trying to get the share price down for their own benefit.

Don't ever let scoundrels like Shadowfall, Simon Cawkwell or negative posters on here panic you into selling. Don't ever let anyone make money out of you.

If only the negative and obtuse posters would only sell up or shut up then the rest of us could make some money on here. Think of the warning on cigarette packets - smoking damages your health. Negative and obtuse posts damage the share price.

1% of Boohoo shares is about 12 million, 0.5% is about 6 million. Most shorts will be much less than this.

The likes of Shadowfall and Simon Cawkwell aka evil knievil make sure they get media attention about their shorts to scare holders into panicking and selling so the share price goes down and they make loads of money from their shorts. Don't let them make money out of you.

Tysonfur123 - that's the problem with negative and obtuse posters on here. They put everybody off buying and drive the rest of us into selling just to get away from their posts. They really have no idea how negativity affects possible investors and holders and, more importantly, how it affects the share price. Share prices go up with buys and if you put people off buying and holding, then you get no buying and too much selling.

Unfortunately, they'll never admit to being the cause of the low share price. Like the alcoholic the first step is to admit your problem.

Negativity affects investors and holders far more than positivity can ever do. So the low share price is down to their constant negativity on here, however, they'll always blame someone else and never take responsibility for their own contributory actions.

A reminder to us all that a comment from a Chinese source close to Tesla said that, “The new battery independently developed by Tesla is a combination of dry battery technology and supercapacitor.”

Will the supercapacitor be using CAP-XX IP hence the delay in announcing it? Who knows? Maybe?

nitram64 - it helps to read it in full and to read it a number of times. We all miss things by reading it too quickly and only once. The 3 month delay comment is in there, towards the end of the fourth paragraph.

Don't let Simon Cawkwell aka evil knievil make you panic and sell your shares. This is what he wants you to do so he can make money out of you. He's a gambler and is trying it on. He's lost loads of money on shorts, on horses and on his share picks too.

A comment from a Chinese source close to Tesla said that, “The new battery independently developed by Tesla is a combination of dry battery technology and supercapacitor.”

I'm looking forward to September 2020 to hear about the Murata automated production lines.

And more importantly, ignore negative posters. Life's too good to let them affect you. Use the filter to block out negative posters and any other posters you don't want to read.

Reminder of Stockopedia estimates for CAP-XX as follows:-

Year End 30 June 2020E 2021E

Revenue A$9m A$13.6m

Net Profit A$0.1m A$2.4m

EPS Normalised A$0.000 A$0.800

PE Ratio N/A 5.36

The Year End 2020 for CAP-XX runs from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021 and 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 for the Year End 2021 for CAP-XX.

CAP-XX will make its first profit ever for the year end 2020. This will be a significant turning point for CAP-XX.

Making money on shares is hard work and so you can't do enough research. Read everything like it's your own business and then more.

For me, CAP-XX will win the case against Maxwell. Ioxus are no longer defending a similar court case brought by CAP-XX so there'll be a judgment in favour of CAP-XX against Ioxus. Winning any court case always helps the CAP-XX share price.

In my opinion the real game changer for CAP-XX will be the up and running automated production lines CAP-XX have bought from Murata. Here's the link to read if you haven't already read it:-

Boohoo's Profit margins are also strong. Peter Williams, a former Boohoo chairman who previously served as a non-executive of Asos, said this was partly because it was an own-label business. “Asos sells other people’s products as well as its own. That dilutes the margin percentage,” he said.

Zalando and increasingly Next are also platform businesses, selling brands from Topshop to Ted Baker alongside their own. Boohoo has preferred to buy in brands to extend its appeal.

Boohoo acquired Karen Millen, Coast and MissPap last year, and more recently Oasis and Warehouse. It has made no secret of its willingness to acquire more, and has £350m of cash to do so.

Unlike Asos, which started several years earlier, Boohoo did not build its own information technology. “They were early adopters of things like Salesforce and Amazon Web Services,” said one former employee. “They took the view that if you could buy it off the shelf at reasonable cost, then do that.”

This reduced capital spending and allowed managers to concentrate on product and marketing — an area where it routinely spends 10 per cent of revenue.

“They understand and embrace the social media that their customers use,” said Catherine Shuttleworth, who runs digital marketing agency Savvy.

“Their staff are all young?.?.?.?it’s not run by a load of old men who don’t understand how digital marketing works,” she added. “And they’re not afraid to make mistakes. If something doesn’t work, they just move on and try something else.”

One well-known fashion executive said the background of Boohoo co-founder Mahmud Kamani, who spent years in the clothing supply chain, was also a key factor.

“He’s a product man with a product background,” said the executive, who has known Mahmud Kamani as both a supplier and a rival. “All that technology and marketing, you can hire that in, but being a merchant is the piece you just can’t buy.”

Staff at the group’s Manchester headquarters are fiercely loyal and have shared in its success.

Last August, Boohoo gave more than 2,000 employees 884 shares each. “I know people there who have paid off their mortgages,” said one of the former employees.

Boohoo is already contemplating opening its first warehouse outside the UK.
