BOO's confirnation last week that the new Manufacturing Centre of Excellence in Leicester has gone live ends all the speculation in the UK over when exactly this was going to come on stream.

It looks an fantastic new high tech facility and is up there now with GS new facilities and we also have Burnley and Turkey etc.

Looking forward the BOD's plans to expedite BOO's new automated USA distribution centre alongside the existing US sites.

Well said Wolf

Expect to see an explosion in increased leisure activities, socialising and foreign holiday travel this year.

Especially amongst BOO's demographic.

It just just doesn't fit the naysayers narrative that as each day goes by things are re opening at pace and flights and foreign holidays will be packed come easter / spring & summer time.

Happy buying the dip here ahead of the incoming rebound.

Can't see anything major happening other than postering and expect the Russians still want to export their gas as much as we want to import it.

Very convenient that it suits all the political leaders to deflect from own domestic issue.

The BOO demographic should be fairly fireproof having the least exposure to the basket of items seeing the greatest inflationary gains.

They will see rises in the cost of, Spotify, amazon etc, but a couple of quid on these isn't going going to really impact spending on a new clothes haul as mum and dad pay the bills.

Could work out well if those under 25 see the largest % pay increases improving disposable income.

Pay in hospitality is shooting through the roof as roles become difficult to fill and general levels of employment remain at some of the highest levels ever witnessed.

Just wait.

In a couple of weeks once this settlement is updated and and trading update reveals an ongoing profitable growing business I bet PP1 will revert to previous ramping this as a 100 x bagger day in day out.

There just isn't any balance in this characters posts.

I feel 600p is achievable over the next few years.

However, once we recover back to the previous trading range highs of around 420p, I will be doing a sense check of where the business is against where we were last time we hit that level.

If we have the automated US distribution centre in full swing by then, I will continue will my conviction that 600p will be hit.

Respect the trading ranges, buy at the bottom, consider selling at the top.

No one here is trying to discredit you

YOU DID THAT TO YOURSELF

PP1 says.....
"The agenda is to inform people without the positive spin that too many on here include in their posts."

The same agenda that saw PP1 posting advice to folk to "try opening a short at 85p"

That no doubt wiped a few folk out last Wednesday.

The same agenda that saw you stating at 420p+ that "BOO is a 100 x bagger from here"

Your agenda is highly transparent.

PP1 is the most discredited poster on the whole of AIM markets. Nevermore just this bb.

So if anything needs 'highlighting' it's PP1's shady track record on this bb.

Plus, this amount is both pocket change as less than a weeks earnings, and has already been provisioned for.

Bear clutching at straws with this one.

Spot on Reardon95

The naysayers really are panicking now churning out tripe such as 'no one knows'

The company has already stated

"boohoo is pleased to report that the parties have notified the District Court that they have agreed to the terms of a preliminary settlement relating to the Claim.

The preliminary settlement will be covered in full by the existing provisions disclosed in the Group's latest published accounts."

So the settlement is to be equal to or less than the £20m ALREADY provisioned for.

Update due by the 28th Feb.

More Good News for BOO as the bear case continues to be dismantled further.

Deutsche Bank restated their buy rating on shares of boohoo group (LON:BOO) in a research note released on Tuesday on the same day Barclays cut their price targrt, Price Targets.com reports.

Barclays sit alone in their view.

I do recall reading somewhere about how the silver contracts have been so grossly manipulated for so long by the big banks to assist their major global clients such as apple and Samsung and themselves.

Wouldn't be surprised if its now primed to do a full 180 and go on a real rip as at over $1000 for an iPhone and with the contacts they'll have it won't hurt apple If silver went above $50 and some saying $100.

Interesting times with inflation heating up.

Won't be surprised to see gold break $2000 fairly soon and then let's see where that leads.

A very good listen, great work for pulling all this together

Wow.. rare you get four such strong characters together on the same debate.

Great effort for putting this together.

They didn't specifically, but the whole market was.

Just look back at the comments from that time on here, in fact, if you don't want to go back that far go onto one of the less commented on bb's such as ABF and on the first page there are comments dated from December so no need to scroll down that far to see what the markets were anticipating at that time around that date

Everyone was pricing in for an omicron lockdown.

Same situation with CINE.

Whilst on the subject of CINE and to further highlight the point.

After there was NO lockdown

Within the first 6 weeks of 2022 Motley fool had written no less than 19... YES Nineteen negative articles on CINE... lol.

That's just not normal is it?

Who is paying these guys to put that kind of content out?

Someone desperately wanted a lockdown, and they didn't get it.

Zero imo

As the guidence given on the last trading update was in anticipation of a full UK lockdown over Xmas and into the new year.

This did not materialise.

If you had sold or trimmed your position in BOO and were now looking to get back in cheap however, it's exactly the sort of thing you would say though isn't it?

Paul Scott also said do the opposite of what he does!

He did also say he holds Zero cash..

He also said he trippled his position in joules on their trading update, so sounds like he robbed Peter to pay Paul. (So to speak :-)

No doubt he'll look to triple his position here especially if he was nimble enough to lock in those update gains from joules and slice crystallising a nice gain on that trade.

I take everything these media guys say with a large pinch of salt as they are often just there to talk their own book and if their performance was really as poor as they often jokingly make out why would anyone listen to then at all?

@T4G

Yes, don't really post much on here as very good well informed BB here and enjoy reading all the posts from the regular contributors.

Unlike BOO at present which is typical of AIM ahead of a sharp move up, thing I learnt years ago on AIM is that when the hit job being done on a company doesn't match reality and there are the random posters only posting negatives on a single stock (stooge accounts) to suppress the SP and you get a few rogue paid media articles or ratings being overly bearish combined with silence from the ramp crew, it's usually a strong buy signal as long as your research demonstrates the underlying business is Rock solid (which it is with BOO (growing, profitable, no debt etc).

You then wake up one day and see a V shaped recovery with the share flying out the blocks.

Same thing happened to KOD with it getting bashed by a gang of posters across social media who were obviously short.

Making predictions like "going down to 0.08"

One day KOD then shot up nearly 80-100% in a single session before going onto rally to the present range

Expect the same thing to happen at BOO, that why I'm adding at the present levels.

GL with all your investments.

@mercedesman

Only need to see what happened with our neighbours when ffx went on a rip once the Chinese got involved.

The precedent is set for the kind of mcap you suggest.

In fact as we move into a rising commodities environment this is an ever strengthening sellers market.

@EyeGuy

Agree with you there.

Has always been a swing between the two.

I can also see a lot of cash moving across from Prem next week & the week after.

I secured a very healthy gain in PREM on Friday after a patient wait with a small amount left on a free ride.

KOD now looks like it has some catching up to do move wise.

Plus, for those digging abit deeper into the technicals, i think this is closer to having all the neccesary administrative ducks lined up to actually getting a deal across the line.

Not saying a MOU or JV won't land at prem, but say both were to receive a MoU or LoI KOD has the necessary for a deal to conclude imo.

Add into the mix the gold here in a rapidly rising inflation environment and KOD makes a compelling investment.
