Jambon, looking good now that this is fully funded & in the hands of a company that will now run it properly.
You should've really got in last week when it as 18p, like I did.

There were a few amateurs on here predicting 13p. Where are they now?
I tried explaining to them that this was a news/ sentiment driven share & to ignore technicals, but they just would not listen.

I doubt she'll keep her job, two board members from Future Group to join Koovs.
I said all along that there should be Indians based in India running this company.

Despite the placing, the company is about to move to become the next new ASOS of India. Have you seen the follow up RNS by Hardman. Read the report, they are saying this could be a 1 BILLION POUND company. This is going to the Sky once people catch on. Bring on the 100pence!

Hardman & Co: The Future is here

Shortly after its deal with Hindustan Times, Koovs has announced an even more important tie-up with a major Indian partner: Future Lifestyle Fashions Ltd (FLFL), part of The Future Group, will take a 29.9% strategic stake in Koovs, providing not only financial firepower but all the major synergistic benefits possible from one of India's largest fashion retailers. Simultaneously, Koovs has announced an additional £10m equity raise at 15p per share. With the capital and the partners, Koovs now has the substantial platform on which to build India's leading fashion e-tailer and has financially de-risked the whole venture.

When there are over 200 million active social media users in a country, a feedback often makes or breaks the deal. This new age conversation between the retailer and a customer is taking form as social commerce, a new-age retail trend.
Two hundred minutes. That’s the average time spent per day by mobile internet users and it’s expected that a whopping 370 million active social media users will be present in India by 2022. When such a massive number of internet users are taken over by social media, its little wonder that social commerce is evolving as the latest trend in retail sector, writes Shwetha Satyanarayan.
According to a NASSCOM survey, fashion, consumer healthcare, baby products, food and beverage industry, financial services, beauty, personal care and women care are the key categories which are gaining prominence through social media.

There were way more sells than buys today. The 213,987 trade was a sell. The market makers declared it 2 hours later when the share price was lower, so looked like a buy! This sort of distortion should not be allowed.
Volumes are pathetically low. The sell would have been put in as an order.
Not a lot to add until first round of funding is announced.

The size of Indias ecommerce market is estimated to be around $20 billion, and increasing at a compounded annual growth rate of 30% for the next 5 years, according to analysts. The domestic online retail market is expected to grow to $45 billion by 2020 and $57 billion by 2021.

Growth of private labels – With increasing acceptability of private labels among Indian consumers, e-retailers are entering into this emerging segment. The access to exhaustive informative data on consumer’s buying behaviour and preferences have provided an advantage to online retailers in terms of understanding the consumer’s needs. With private labels, online retailers are able to increase their revenues owing to lower distribution overheads, lesser number of intermediaries and negligible marketing cost involved in private labels.
In the current shopper-centric era, Indian fashion industry is joining hands with technological advancements. Retailers are progressively accepting innovative ideas and tactics to create a memorable and personalized shopping experience, at the same time ensuring lower logistics and operational cost thus leading to higher revenues. With increasing internet penetration, e-commerce is expected to grow at relatively higher rate in comparison to conventional retail channels. With increasing acceptance of private labels within the Indian consumers, e-retailers are venturing into private labels.

India is expected to become one of the world’s fastest growing e-tail markets, driven by robust investment in the sector and rapid increase in the number of internet users. Under Government initiatives like ‘Digital India’, Internet has penetrated to 400 million users.
Indian online retail has witnessed a surge in recent years and is expected to swell up to ~15 percent of the total retail by 2020 from current contribution of 4 percent (2017) in apparel and lifestyle segment.
Growth of digital penetration – India is in the midst of a digital revolution. The number of Internet users is likely to cross 650 million by 2020 and it is expected that half of the Indian population will be online in the next 3 years. Mobiles have become the most preferred device to access internet. The availability and affordability of smartphones with access to cheap internet data coupled with the rise in disposable income is fuelling the growth of digital penetration.
Increasing fashion demands in small cities and towns – With the media exposure, rising awareness, growing aspirations and increasing share of disposable income, Indian consumers are looking to get access to global fashion brands

As I have said many times before, until funding is sorted out, this will just be played by traders. Movements on very low volumes as market makers are trying to create a market/ liquidity.

The lack of posts about Koovs, the sector, India or any other research says it all.

A shame that all the good research on here is lost by all the small talk. These boards have a very limited readership, mainly made of small time traders who in general lose their money.
Seen very little posted about Koovs, the sector or India.
As I said before, until funding news is confirmed, this will just be played & traded, with the weak selling.

If you think this has spiked on this rns, just wait until the funding has been confirmed. You will see the mother of all spikes! That is just my opinion of course.
Until then, there will be no real pattern. Volumes too low.
20p looks a lot closer than 13p.
Those sitting on the side lines must be getting a little nervous......

It is worth noting that at 10p, this was classified as a junk stock. At this price, Hardman & co analysts stated
'Before the new capital is raised, Koovs is a short-dated call option on the financing happening'
I doubt very much that The management would go to all this trouble with promotion/ marketing to let the company fail.
Seems to be a few fortune tellers predicting the price & many waiting for this to go lower. I am trying to buy another chunk at the moment, but proving to be very difficult as the recent large sells seem to have dried up for now.

Anybody else having problems to buy a decent amount. The most my two brokers will let me Buy is 1000 shares at 18p, but will take 75000 shares off me for 17.9p.

Looking good for a decent rise today.

With 6.6 million followers on Instagram alone, she has had a million likes from her 3 Koovs Instagram posts.

Looks like the heavy marketing has started. This marketing video just out on YouTube with Taapsee Pannu in Rome

Trying to trade these kinds of AIM shares is tricky with the large spread involved. I use algorithms for my technical trading & that is for a few currency pairs during certain times of the day when there is a lot of liquidity.
The bottom line with companies like Koovs is that if you are happy with the Fundamentals, try & get a decent entry point.
I am more than happy. I talk to other large shareholders, in the 1 Million plus club. have had contact with Koovs & the analysts at Hardman & co. They never mention anything that is not in the public domain.
The HT Media move was a big Buy signal for me, showing me that Funding has been sorted.

Just topped up with 20179 shares at 17.8p
I like to put my money where my mouth is ; )

Predators- a gut feeling is very different to stating how you derive a price of 13p.
As I stated before. Technical analysis is pretty pointless with these news & sentiment driven shares in AIM, where many fickle traders are present.
Good luck with waiting for 13p, although if that does happen, it will be because some bad news will have been released.
Personally, I see the next bit of news to be confirmation of the first tranche of funding, 6 million pounds. I expect there to be heavy Director involvement with Chairman Lord Alli leading the charge. Hopefully a new Investor will come on board, someone with a lot of credentials ; )

For you Predator

There seems to be a lot of confusion about how technical analysis works with regards to the 50% retracement 'rule'. I have used technical analysis is trading certain currency pairs at certain times of the day. Although I now use Algorithms for this, it can be a very good tool if there is enough liquidity. AIM shares are news & sentiment driven with not enough liquidity.

But in this case I will have a look. You only look at the most RECENT move which was from 11p to 28p according to the daily candles- that is a move of 17p. 50% of this move is 8.5p. Take this away from the 28p gives you 19.5p.
Now this 19.5p has to be treated as a 'Zone' where there will be much activity with stop losses, buy orders.

It is NEVER 50% of the high price.
But as I said- technical analysis can be risky with AIM shares- not enough liquidity. Although the 50% is not a Fibonacci number, it is a psychological figure some may use.

Predators

Around 13p is the 50%+retrace. ...that is where it will likely end up. ... patience is the key. An

Predators- for someone who has been trading for 20 years, yoy have a very poor grasp of the 50% retracement theory. It is NOT 50% of the highest price, but 50% of the difference in the most recent move. I'll repost the basic theory for you......
