Buy now then

Dispute it all you like - it's the CEOs own words "BT delivered results slightly below our expectations for the third quarter of the year, but we remain on track to meet our outlook for the full year."

Good to see UK government on top of this. Australians being held on Christmas Island, Japanese taken straight to hospital, Americans held in aircraft hangar in Alaska. UK government - make your own way home and self isolate in your homes for two weeks. Spanish flu killed over 20 million so I hope this policy works. Thank God BA have suspended all flights but this virus will seriously hurt earnings.

280 would be a great price but it will never get there unless there's some global disaster that brings everything down. Any lucky sods who managed to get 299 when it dipped today got themselves an absolute bargain. Me? I'm not bothered - got in years ago and happy to sit and do nothing but wait for 400p which will come sometime this year or next.

It's been a very mild winter - good for Boiler breakdown callouts. SP has steadied, decline reversed, customer numbers are up and 86p+ maintained for a good few months now. All positive signs. Need to see 100p broken which will happen soon. Strong BUY now.

Trading Update out today. Res not stunning, in line they say ... then a load of gobbledegook about impairment and selling off services and job cuts. Cash stronger and debt better but they don't word it in same way as previous statements which makes it harder to compare. Rev up 16% but that was after a really poor 2018. But order book a lot less than predicted. Must admit I was expecting better news, not all these mixed messages. We'll see where we go from here but I'm losing patience.

10 quid's a decent profit for me. Pretty sure I'll be able to buy back in cheaper.

Finally sold out after 10 years! Happy with 972p. Lovely divvies. Will get back in at a lower SP I hope. GLA

Up 82% since this time last year. The results were great then and the SP initially fell 10%. Hold your nerve, think long term and you will be rewarded. Time to think about doubling up I reckon.

Something's going on. Massive volume today. 8.5M already - daily avg 264K. That's 32 times the daily avg !!!

Stunning results but not surprised to see SP softening after 12% rise since year end. Buying opportunity at these prices before next surge. The key now is to expand in USA, Europe and ROW like they have done in UK. Plenty of upside scope and cash in hand to drive this. These regions (USA in particular) are way behind on online and that's a big market to exploit. Also I expect they will start paying divvies soon which will bring the institutions on board. Still expect 15% SP rise by May so I'm holding.

Nah. Awful results. Going to 8p. Following that RNS these are doomed.

Thanks - didn't see that

Boohoo market cap now greater than M&S - £3.87bn vs £3.70bn

More brokers and new investors will be coming in now the BooHoo name is getting more mainstream recognition.

Did "somebody in the know" tell you that?

Worrying sudden drop today, after good momentum last couple of months. Why?

Zwarts - aka Mr deRamp - struggle with maths at school did you? I think you'll find they're selling MILLIONS of £6 dresses that cost £4 to make and deliver. 50% gross margin. £4 plus 50% = £6. I'm sure they can afford to lose a tiny bit on margin when sales are rising 44% annually.

Sorry Zwartkops whatever you "heard from someone in the know" was a load of bull. You are a de-ramper.

Trading update is stunning. Especially impressive is the main BooHoo range is up 42% when this time last year it was the outlier at up only 15%. I am expecting a nice SP surge today.

We'll see ...

One AIM company that appears to have plenty of momentum right now is online fashion retailer Boohoo (LSE: BOO), which owns the Boohoo, Pretty Little Thing, Karen Millen and Nasty Gal brands. While many other UK retailers are struggling due to changing consumer tastes and shopping habits, Boohoo is growing at a prolific rate due to its popularity among fast-fashion-savvy, digitally-minded millennials – last year revenue rose 48%.

Boohoo shares have had a great run over the last 12 months, rising from around 185p to 312p today. Yet I think they can go higher this year. Sure, the P/E looks high already (it’s roughly 47 when you plug in next year’s consensus earnings forecast), however, when you consider that earnings are expected to climb nearly 30% this year and 25% next year, the P/E-to-growth (PEG) ratio is not overly high.

After rising exponentially between early 2016 and mid-2017, the shares spent a long time (more than two years) consolidating these gains. However, they recently broke out to new highs. I see that as bullish. Jefferies has a price target of 375p.
