ASOS had a high of +7000 this year so it must have had a PE of + 75 whilst barely making a profit and paying no div
( figures very approx ) .. It is still on a rating of 26.8 even after the fall
Whilst this company in the same sector is on a PE rating of 9.7 making a good profit and paying a strong div.
It's a mad mad world . Admitted that growth is factored into the rating , but I know where I would rather park my hard earned .

Welcome , I have held here for years . should hopefully stabilize around here .
If you want another good entry point check out my two posts today on CARD
ATB

Without checking out the whole of the index difficult to know .
If it does it will have a minimal impact . I will be holding here for the div even if it is cut 50 % it will still be pretty strong .
The short positions are being cut , now down to 1.4 % so the shorters are getting wary.
ATB

So the retails travails now extend to online and ASOS issues a profit warning while plunging 40 %
The hard pressed " consumer " must be really cutting back , about time too, there is no need to change your wardrobe contents every couple of months.
Seems to me that CARD has been unfairly caught up in the sector plunge . The hard pressed " consumer " will not cut back on the socially ingrained requirement to send cards ,but he / she will feel obliged to seek out value by purchasing at CARD.
Want proof of this ? Check out your local shop .

purchase today which is encouraging . Lets hope the new management can stay more focused.
Also encouraging is the potential for a general election and new referendum which should add very nicely to the revenue stream.

Yep just caught up in " events " in a weak market . The weaker £ will impact margins , but they probably have hedging in place so who knows ?

Yes fair update , the SP does not really concern me" investors " are apparently ignoring the fact that this is a profit making company paying what could be at least a 5% sustainable yield .
Hard to find elsewhere. Good luck all..

Yes indeed, just look at the virtually instantaneous financial kicking Musk got for posting some dodgy info on social media and compare it with the penalties handed out by the "authorities " for posting utterly fictional audited statuary results at Carillion .
Just an interview in the House of Commons !!
As is usual the wrong people were in the hot seat , the law makers should have been facing the grilling for allowing the existence of such slipshod " regulation " . That was in the main market at least here the shambles was on AIM

the budget on Monday addresses the business rates on the high street this could get a boost.

Too easy to manipulate this. This share nearly on a daily basis sets off high in the morning and finishes flat or slightly down + 3 as I write , will probably finish a bit minus . Just being rinsed.

Yep, trump and automated trading are the greatest risks to world stability , not necessarily limited to financial stability.
Thankfully CARD is off the radar to an extent .

here have approx 10m shares to buy back if they want to close.
Could prove interesting.
Unless the recent rise is a result of them closing , they have a problem at these volumes.

HI .The Government touts the London stock market as the finest in the world with the most robust regulatory framework to be found anywhere .
In reality it is the most corrupt , rife with distortion and manipulation along with weak regulation allowing flagrant abuse to flourish . Compare what has happened to Musk in the US just weeks after issuing a tweet with what has happened to directors and accountants of Carrillian after issuing a misleading RNS .
Broker ratings are also being abused . If a broker wishes to issue a rating that rating should IMO be privy between the broker and it's clients , not blasted all over as if it is part of some sort of regulatory framework.

Possibly a shorter trying to close a position

this @ 207, more than happy to hold even with the reduced spec div this has a yield of approx 7% for me .
Approve of the reduced div hopefully they can reduce the debt .
The franchising and hosting initiatives also hold some promise.
Wouldn't mind to see a reduced store rollout.

Looking at the recent shorting activity , it's clear that a large proportion of the mails " spooked investors " were in fact short sellers .
Holding a short position is the polar opposite of investing .Yet another factual error from the mail.
ATB

They have to buy back approx 9.5 million shares , pretty difficult to do that at the daily volume traded without causing a spike in the sp.
Possibly why the daily mail and nefarious websites are trying to assist.
ATB

new highs on a regular basis.
With a prospective yield of 5% and a PE of 23 along with some immunity to brexit concerns this is still too cheap.
Here's hoping for another deutche downgrade , the last one worhed wonders

Agreed ,there is no certainty in this world but it seems to me a very large coincidence that exactly the same phenomenon has happened to two shares which I happen to own , how many other shares have been targeted in this way ?
Probably quite easy to check it out but I havn't got the time or inclination.
ADVFN I can assure you is pretty huge , but they certainly will not be obtaining my subscription . This sort of stunt can only be pulled off on a relatively small company they could not target the likes of Shell etc.
ATB

Factually incorrect.
The update was on the 9th Aug and no investors were " spooked " the sp was marginally down.
The sp fell heavily on the 14th as a result of a prearranged manipulative attack via ADVFN which IMO possibly amounted to market abuse , as outlined in " This Morning " below
