Mike Ashley ? How's he doing lately with Newcastle United and Debenhams? Food and utilities are defensive but not fashion retail. High Street is dying ... been out lately?

170p? If you count the divvies banked this last year we've already passed 170p

WARNING : January 2014 the SP was 2590. I know coz I sold them then. Been in and out since then ... buy low sell high, etc. Days of £36 long gone. Historically they're on a 5 year downturn. They are still overpriced right now and 2000p would be fair price for a company who can't grow LFL sales. I will dip back in at that level. No, it doesn't make sense to open new stores - the initial risky overheads are massive and then you're into a cycle of declining LFL sales. Also online clothing retail is predicted to double in next 5 years . Go figure ... Primark will be left with a load of empty units.

LFL sales are down. It's a worrying sign when customers no longer want your £2 T shirts, £5 jeans and £10 jackets. Fashion is all about brands and the young feeling/looking cool. Primark's been in decline for a few years now ... can't keep opening new stores when LFL is in decline - just doesn't make sense. SP is under pressure and will go down more IMO.

Calm down children - this is not parliament you know.

This current rise is just the beginning. Plenty of buyers still coming in today at 280 hoovering up the sellers. When results in detail out on 25th and the press and more brokers start taking notice these will be sailing way past 350p.

Not good news at all. They bought at 145p a year and a half ago. They're clueless.

on my BUY back in March. Onwards and upwards. Must be doing something right - I saw 2 of their white vans today. I reckon things are picking up.

Great news. Long term suffering holder here. I will not sell. These are still well under-valued and I'm waiting for a return to fair value above 200p. It may take a while but in the meantime I'll bank my 6% yield and eventually we'll get there one way or another. This is the start of the turnaround. Bye bye Bears.

Excellent company. Lots of demand for houses. Good hedge against Brexit uncertainties. Big divvies to come next month. Going to £42 and beyond. Buy now , set a movable stop loss and enjoy the money coming in.

More evidence today that this is a crap share. BOO on the other hand is doing rather well.

Viewing figures are up this year and it's been a good watchable season. About to launch twice a year. BOO adverts getting regular exposure to 6M + viewers. BOOs costs of marketing will have been paid months ago so they're effectively getting "free" extra sales. Hot weather and school holidays provide more tailwinds. I'm well in profit but will wait to see 270p by next results announcement.

SP fall was overdone. Quality company. 2 Love Islands per year is a great move. Britbox will be success. 140p fair value with no bid. I expect a bid to come someday soon which will take SP to 200p.

Decent recovery. Fair value 130p. Once Brexit sorted 170p.

On Monday, Whitbread said it has completed a programme to return £2.5bn to shareholders following the sale of Costa Coffee to Coca-Coca for £3.9bn. Whitbread purchased more than 40.2m shares at a price of 4,972p each.

Seems a big waste of their money to me. Glad I got out after sale of Costa.

Today - Easyjet up 4% Ryanair down 4%. Glad I'm here and not there. Also I'd rather fly EZJ than RYA. Pilots say the same. Personally I'd pay a fair bit more to go EZJ - far better service.

BOO will benefit from ASOS mistakes. With BOO's new fast warehouses fully on stream and Love Island advertising it's going to be another good set of results in September. Mark my words.

Too risky. 3 profit warnings in 7 months - I'm out - Bye!

Record high viewing figures for Love Island and resulting increase in sales from advertising will result in great numbers at next update. Think we've seen then bottom now. These are not going sub 200 and are a bargain at current SP.

Best closing SP for two weeks. Oversold way too much and going back up now.
