I am super glad that I got out at the beginning of November 2022 at £3.79p. This was screaming "Sell" back then and still does; you would be quite simply gambling not investing, by buying now. That last RNS was a huge Red Flag for me aswell. Good Luck to those still here, but the TA's continue to not look very nice. Indeed, I suspect that many of the early buyers here (like me!), will never see a return on their investment. Sad, but plenty of tech companies never really make it - at least share price wise. You will need 'sparkling' numbers at the next update, to stand any chance of seeing £4 in 2023. Any disappointment of any kind and this will drop like a stone (this company is still on a huge P/E and still looking expensive). Sentiment has shifted massively here, hence why I do not see this a Short attack myself. As they say, "Trend is your Friend" and this has been trending down since October 2021 (TB fiasco spike aside). Roll the Dice!! . . . ATB

The so called 'positives' have been snuck in to try to dilute the rather large 'negatives' in my opinion. These are basically "we've not really been making any real progress and profits are proving just as hard to come by"! Not a great RNS I'm afraid, so personally I can only see this being marked down by a fair chunk. Then again, Mr Market being the weirdo that he is, who knows! ATB

Superdry's 'Interims' will be published on Thursday of this week. . . .

..."Clothing & Home sales increased 8.8% with LFL sales up 8.6% and performance well ahead of the market. C&H achieved over 10% market share2 in the period, its highest level since 2015, reinforcing its market leadership. Store sales increased 12.8% with standout early performances from new stores such as Colchester and Chesterfield which are part of the store rotation programme. Online sales increased 0.7%, driven by growth of 33% through the M&S App, with a strong performance of click and collect sales. We generated particularly strong sales growth in menswear, formalwear increased over 40% and partywear more than doubled. Sales of third party brands grew c.50% and represented c.8% of online sales in the period". So, in other words, they have been selling a lot of Superdry products over the last quarter, which bodes well. ATB

This is M&S Superdry Clothing!

Hi Watchman. I have just read your post and wanted to say thank you for 'fighting my corner' this morning - and so publicly. It's pretty low-life stuff when you attack people that have served (and sadly died for) their country. The UK is fortunate in having fantastic support and empathy in this area; which is great. Thanks again and I admire your honesty and decency, for sticking up for me when you had no obligation to. I hope that you have an enjoyable weekend. ATB :)

every single post of mine was removed last Thursday (which is fine by me, but it's maybe a bit childish 'reporting' people - but hey ho, it takes all sorts I guess!). So, as a result, I'm not going to get involved with replying to the aggrieved here; or refer to Barclays in any way either, from here on. So, everybody's happy now. £4.19p remains my break-even, so I'm more than happy to sit this year out and move into a profitable position in 2023. Keep smiling :)

This is exactly what Barclays said would happen on Monday. Their 'technicals' have been 100% spot on. It just makes knowing where this is going a whole lot easier, than reading the repetitive (and usually 100% wrong) second guessing that goes on here . . . . .

In case anyone cares to read, this is from Motley Fool today:

yes very much so Watchman. I liked the article because it was unbiased; but still very relevant to us all here. I mentioned a couple of months back, that PI's would need to start withdrawing from funds and equities, in order to get their hands on much needed cash, due to the cost of living crisis. That's proving to be the case, as you say, and hence why we need to keep things balanced on this Board, as it's most definitely not all rosy, rosy, up, up, up. There are many factors that have been holding this one back (and will continue to, into next year) and many of them have nothing at all to do with DT - but hey, that's investing for you! ATB

This is NOT specific to DT but a very good read in general. It covers a number of different aspects of Equities/Fund investment issues given this years' horror show and is a very worthy read in my opinion. . .

"noted" - so do act on it Charles. No point in saying 'noted' then in two days time writing the same old £8+++ garbage. No more price guess-work please, as you can clearly see that it is very unwelcome; including from the good folk, who do not even post here. Show some respect for others, as we are all very capable "of making our own minds up" as to where this is heading. PLEASE stop and don't go back to it; we know your thoughts now :)

You miss my point. I am not attacking you OR the the idea; just the constant repetition and £8 ramping. So, no more takeover talk or share price guesses as they have all been done to death by you. We are all super bored with it all. Have a good day, but please, open your eyes, 'know your audience' and stop the constant 800p ramping. Just don't post so much, like the rest of us, as we are very happy not to be in touch with you every day (I'm sure I'm not alone in finding it rather depressing, waking up to find 3,4,5 posts each morning from you, staring at me here) :( :(

Charles stop ramming the takeover crap down our throats every day. You have made your point beyond too much. We get it. Now move on and stop bigging/ramping it all up, every flipping day. No wonder we have lost so many posters here; the posts are beyond tedious posts. . . .

Indeed, we can but hope; the rest is entirely out of our hands! Have a good weekend and best wishes :)

bobocaca that's exactly the thing! It's an illusion! It hasn't actually been 'volatile' at all. We had an exuberant initial IPO "we're all going to make a fortune on this newly IPO'd company, which operates in a majorly Hot Space" Spike. Followed by the guaranteed fall, of course! Then, apart from the TB take-over fiction, we have largely flat-lined since we IPO'd! It hasn't really been 'volatile' at all. We have gone pretty much nowhere apart from a) an initial spike and b) a completely fake take-over story. Strip those two 'events' out and pretty much nothing has happened here. The rest is an optical illusion. This has been massively 'Bigged-Up' by people (like CR888 in the main) and has proven, thus far, to be the complete reverse of what they ramped. Next year? - maybe?!? But for this year - expect very little - in my opinion. Happy Christmas :)

Charles, you sound as though you are desperately trying to sell us all a 'polished turd' (a euphemism only, for added effect!). Darktrace is not doing well since its IPO here in the UK! Keep it real. Who cares about Sentinel and Crowdstrike, they're not listed here; so they go by a completely different set of rules, different set of investors, different type of tech sentiment and totally different approach to tech valuations. Let's stop with the constant US comparisons all the time. You're obsessed with the US. Darktrace is HERE in the UK and only here. Good weekend to all :)

OK so the power of CR888 'positive thinking' totally sucks. I'm going back to my best cynical self; catch up next week. Ahhhh already feels better :)

£3.49p is our 'Trading Support', so I see no reason why we can't climb our way back to that point, by the close of play. Fingers crossed.

If you were a Politics or Economics student at present; with the speed that things are moving, you'd only get half way through writing an essay, before having to rip it up and start again - on account of what you had written, already being out of date!
