StockCheque, JD has indicated his intention to make a bid, there's been no talk of delisting, and now has until 5pm 29 March to do so. I don't think he'll make us wait that long. Sp around 12 March 2023 was £1.11 from recollection, and Cheltenham Festival starts Tuesday 12 March this year, so I'm hoping for just 6 trading days to go before an announcement :)

Taken them all off filter, should be fun! :)

I'll make an appointment with myself then! I have the qualifications :)

Well it's Julian's 59th, so I've topped up with 59 shares as I believe he will be fair with investors. He and Jade are not mean people, they are always aligned with the people who support them. So if you are genuinely invested here, and are holding tight like I am, and adding on drops in the interim, show your support with a 59!

Happy Birthday Julian xx

Is so so important in the retail business now, and this is what I think JD will be working on imo.

I'll post the link again.

Keep telling you, it's in the data! imo. customer information is king!

Not bothered about PLT, slightly different kettle of fish!

If you're giving up your shares, you're making a mistake imvho!

my views, dyor!

Read the below people!

"Umar Kamani, part of the billionaire Boohoo family, has made a name for himself in the fashion industry. His family’s journey began with a humble market stall in Manchester, but they’ve since built a thriving online UK fashion empire. Boohoo, known for its affordable clothing, has seen remarkable growth, with sales reaching £1.2 billion and a workforce of 5,000 people who ship millions of parcels weekly. Despite a recent dip in share prices, the company’s value remains at £3.5 billion1.

Umar Kamani, in particular, runs Pretty Little Thing, a brand he actively promotes on his vibrant Instagram feed, where he has over 780,000 followers. His glamorous lifestyle includes properties in New York and Dubai, reflecting the family’s incredible success1.

As for Superdry, it’s currently facing challenges. However, the struggling fashion retailer has announced a joint venture with Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Retail2. While Umar Kamani’s primary focus is on Pretty Little Thing and the Boohoo empire, his interest in Superdry specifically isn’t explicitly mentioned in the available information."

In summary, Umar Kamani’s attention seems to be primarily directed toward his own brand, Pretty Little Thing, rather than Superdry. However, the fashion industry is dynamic, and interests can evolve over time.

Must respond to StarBright last night ....

there was a trial of a 4 day week last year for 6 months, out of the 60 odd companies that trialled it, only 18 have actually made attempts to implement it. I don't see it catching on in all honesty. Historically, we are tied to the existing provisions and employers don't have that much trust in employees to work harder for the same money but for one day less per week! It's bad enough in London that so so many are still working from home. A young couple close to me certainly milk it since being allowed to work from home at the start of the pandemic, they are out walking their dog from 9am to 11am, jogging at 3pm, shopping at 4pm, probably leaving their computers logged in at home and some poor client being charged extra for 'think' time. And he works in the markets! as does my neighbour at the rear of me, there are many around me!

I had a removal company come to quote for me last summer, and he told me that 9 out of the 10 homes he visits in the London area for quotes, there is usually one person in the household minimum, who is 'employed' but is also working as self-employed behind their employers back, and are running their own companies as a side line, in fact he said quite a few are sitting in their homes in London and running businesses registered in South Africa, many in accountancy! Just saying what he said!

my musings

Morning Atisha, runners and riders getting in to position for the Cheltenham Gold Cup! Will Julian Dunkerton riding SuperDry be the winner?! :) Problem for everyone now is that news could actually drop at any time, so in essence, you're either in or out!

Meanwhile, I think I've got RSI from clutching my mouse too long this past week or two, suddenly got a sharp pain in my right shoulder blade, so might need to nurse that for a bit.

I hope the weather is dry in Paris and Julian is having a fantastic birthday :)

GL Atisha, we ride the waves further until the mother of all rns's drops!

On HL to buy right now, even a small amount!

Don't underestimate that Kamani of Boohoo might be interested! It's all in the data!

Ps will also be topping up more on any dips, as I have some powder spare :)

Morning again Munichmann, yes, we ride the waves some more, it's a guessing game now as to when news will fall, I don't think it will be longer than the Cheltenham Festival which Atisha alluded to, which is a fortnight away. I now expect an offer to be definitely forthcoming from JD and as someone else alluded to below, I suspect there are other competitors lurking, and he now needs to make sure his bid is a strong bid that will kill any opposition from outsiders. Interesting he is in Paris as I alluded to last night, I think he might not only be celebrating his birthday there, and its PFW, but I also wonder if he is having talks with someone? Time will tell. GL xx

Hoping we build momentum, as I don't think JD will hang about and I think his offer will be concluded in time for the Cheltenham Festival where he will get an enormous amount of free publicity, and masses of admiration for taking back control. So not long to go I imagine.

second coffee now beckons as we watch MMs trying to gather more shares for their mates with deep pockets!

Gary, you know you are talking idiocy. Filtered.

As I posted last night Gary, there is no comparison, Flybe is a totally different industry. You cannot make such a comparison. Poor effort again on your part. Perhaps leave here with your alter ego Evolve?

As no one knows now when news will arrive. Unlikely to be as long as 29th March imo, so I wouldn't like to be in the shorters shoes.
