loses one pence dividend tomorrow; no idea on divorce currently ( yawn); retail sector generally looks oversold still with sector leaders being down by 38% fibonacci in a lot of cases; my daughter works in centre of London and is keeping busy..plenty of wealthy tourists with cash to splash ; expect once ex dividend this will head towards 20 p at which point a return of nearly 10% per annum will be too good to ignore!

Looks like this could well fall further (300 p!?) as retail sector going into freefall..already testing Fibonacci 38% retrace

paid July ...one pence dividend giving 4% return on current price quoted to buy of 24.24 p( 8% per annum assuming that Owner continues to declare same dividend again).Retail shares currently generally doing a 38% retrace from last years highs...MKS down 38/39% for example in 355/358 p zone...but does not pay as good a dividend.

Shows that in 2014 the market cap was circa 7 billion Quid...now sub 5 billion quid!!Guess thats largely down to the Asian bubble bursting...still look over valued around 1090 p given the high levels of remuneration to those in charge of a Company with falling profits.The buy back policy looks like a forlorn attempt to prop up the share price and the dividend is pretty poor!?

No change actually in Bonham Industries holding...as being used as Security for Bank Loan

Looks like 1467 p roughly with 1500 p likely to be passed by end of April ( was 1385 p on 18/3)

Relates to disposal of nearly 15% of Bonham Industries ( Koo Kay Pengs vehicle); in the medium term,I assume that this is positive

Target? 5500 looks possible representing about 33% fall from high!?

As I posted early January,the shareprice is due for a correction ( now down about 800 p on price then)....will 5925 p prove to be the low?Look to have been hit by trading conditions in Europe and adverse currency movements.Next Directory still good though

Quoted above for buys between 4200 and 25000 number....sp sold down to 22 p on opening(ATs) ....top down comparison with MKS suggests below 24 p net is a buy

Profits down revenue down but more than enough cash to continue paying one pence dividend...my initial calculations suggest sp should be over 27 p regardless of market conditions

from new designer next month..crucial time for Mulberry coming up....watch this space

Investors wondering why shareprice falling should read article dated 12/2/2016 titled " Laura Ashley Boss ordered to make settlement offer in ' titanic' divorce battle"...,its not impossible to surmise that shareprice is being driven down on the basis that there may be a reduction in the number of shares being held by boss ( as unlikely to sell hotels?) and thus a large ( delayed ) trade.Personally think ,that in the medium term,this would be a positive for the shareprice as will improve liquidity and probably see Rutter or other large holders consider increasing their stakes.

Driven down to 22.25 p this morning on ATs....quoted 23.5 p to buy small amount Think the sp now back to August 2011 level so may have bottomed out given that was over 4 years ago and 36 p high less 38% is 22.32 p but lack of news continues

year on year up about 5% and this is confirmed by my daughter who works in London and her personal experience which gives her access to sales figures over the last two years so why are Laura Ashley currently so low eg they have not risen the 8 to 10% that other retailers have since the lows earlier this month.Honestly,I have no idea as to why ALY has gone from 36 p to sell to 24 p to sell and suspect that a 33% fall is overdone; perhaps the Singapore Office ,perhaps the results being later than usual and perhaps a lack of news regarding the Australian franchise which is in administration.Think it safe to assume that market does not expect the 2 p per year dividend to be maintained as an 8% return seems too good to be true!?Please note that my daughter does not work for Laura Ashley but a medium- sized retailer that has seen a turn around over the last two years as it continues to focus on reasonably priced products as opposed to high end luxury goods( not entirely unlike Laura Ashley!?)

The market in retail has fallen over 30% generally since late last year...looks like a CON trick to me but its happened before ..Consumers are better off in the UK ( the bulk still of Laura Ashleys sales) but the sp hits sub 23 p today....petrol prices fallen ,consumers generally better off and housing market still has excess of demand over supply.....expect 20 pence share price( another 10% down at least!) then BUY!

market gone from 6043 to 5538 making a 10% correction but GSK( so far) is positive as was 1319 p on 11 December

may well be on the way to recovery with turnover markedly up on last two years; this may already be reflected in the sp and the spread is still wide with quote to buy around 979 p currently; maybe worth a buy on any weakness which is not impossible given current retail rout with blue chip retail down around 30%

Todays crash hits Retail shares and ALY fallen back to August 2011 levels with sells to around 23 p which represents a 36 % fall on last years high; perhaps more news from Australia is in the wings.
