Jeez. I've had my champers on ice since December 1999 when SP was 622p. D'you reckon it might have gone off?

SP up 12% since you called me delusional ItsToast

Me too. I love a bargain. I will buy more if they drop another 8%. Very confident on BOO for future ... like the upgrade to 375p from Jefferies.

Just bought a few more. Cheaper than those institutions paid. Lovely jubbly.

Correct. They are "placed" to a select list of clients, usually institutional investors and the sale can take a number of months. They also can't sell their remaining shares for 18 months. However, it is disappointing that they're doing this as it's not a great public vote of confidence in BOO. Personally, I look forward to sucking up more shares on the cheap as this will freak out many holders.

"what do they know that we don't"
Who knows. Nobody knows.
Kane also sold 4.6M at 230p a while ago and SP went up 37% since then. It's quite normal for people like this to cash in some profits and move on once the company gets too big for them to manage. Nowt to worry about. Maybe they are going to need some cash to start a new business or send their kids to Eton or retire to Barbados.

retrace to 240p hahaha. No chance. This is just typical MM tree shaking on low volume to try and scare out a few sellers.

Expect Recovery from this low SP. Oversold I reckon and I've just added another tranche. My 2nd biggest holding now.

I view the trading statement as super positive. Not one word of concern or that awful euphemism "challenging". Instead words like "record", "strong", "successfully integrated", "very well received" and "comfortably". The real numbers will be out on 14th January and I have set my targets "comfortably" higher. This is gonna fly.

Oh no 301p! This is what's known in the trade as a very good buying opportunity.

Been looking at the deals advertised for Black Friday across all retailers. One company seems to stand out as a big winner. BooHoo have the best deal for Black Friday - 75% off everything plus free delivery, 2nd is is MissPap (75% off everything) 3rd Nasty Gal (60% off everything) and 4th BooHooMan (up to 70% off everything). Notice that key phrase "up to". PLT didn't feature but I'm sure they have a good deal on as they advertised in peak time in middle of jungle programme. BOO doing very well pumping up the hype and flippin eck they must be shifting some stock. All good.

IMO quality of BOO far exceeds ASOS clothes and their prices are amazing. There's plenty more to come from BOO but I wouldn't be surprised to see the SP taking its foot off the gas for a while. The next (January) update will be good though.

Sorry but I don't know what you mean by "I'm half bought in".

Calm down mate. Come back in 2 months at £3.30. Keep your winners , sell your losers.

Still falling ... Liberum cut its target from 2240 to 2000. Let's see how we do today.

"Compass Group, down 2.1%. Liberum downgraded the contract caterer to Hold from Buy. Compass on Tuesday said it plans to cut up to 4,000 jobs owing to a deteriorating European outlook and as it warned over Brexit's impact. Furthermore, Compass on Tuesday said pretax profit fell 3.5% on the year before to GBP1.47 billion due to a cost action programme bringing a GBP190 million one-off charge, offsetting foreign exchange benefits. Revenue rose 8.8% to GBP24.88 billion."

And down we go again ... while everything else is rising. Losing my patience here.

CNA should have gone up today after Corbyn's car crash interview with Andrew Neill yesterday. Tories will win GE and Corbyn will be toast ... unless Labour have some serious dirt on Bojo to come out a few days before the election. I'm a Labour voter usually but people like Michael Foot, John McDonnell and Jezza Corbyn are in LaLaLand and way too far to the left.

Spotted in Motley Fool :
"I’d also happily stock my ISA with shares in ITV (LSE: ITV). Advertising budgets in the UK are back on the rise across the media spectrum, and this particular broadcasting giant reported ad revenues were up 1% in the third quarter and at the top end of its estimates.

It also predicted growth of between 0% and 1% in the final three months of 2019. That’s in stark contrast to the falls of earlier of the year, and leads to hopes of the business finally moving back into the black in 2020 following what are likely to be three years of consecutive earnings falls.

I’ve long lauded ITV on the back of its rising might as a global television production powerhouse, not to mention its rapid progress in new media, and reckon next year could prove a turning point in the company’s long-term earnings outlook.

A forward P/E ratio of 10.4 times represents an attractive level at which to get in on this, in my opinion, while a mighty 5.8% corresponding dividend yield provides an added sweetener."

I was quite happy with the results but evidently the markets weren't. Very high volume of sells. Maybe the SP is a bit toppy and maybe the numbers from Europe are a worry. Probably more falls to come but overall LT it will be alright.

Closing above 141p bodes well too. Very bullish for next few weeks I reckon ... time to move to a higher trading range.
