nope just the price bounced on rumour and then the vaccine news shook the money into other quicker growth shares. just trying to work out if its worth getting back in for the divi. throwing off lots of cash here so could continue specials

if that's the case are you merely investing in hope or siphoning off and stashing under the mattress......

edan , i didnt see the "60 days" prior holding ? can you explain where this is please.

Interesting view but assume Green will simply ramp up the online side of the Top shop group instead rather than flog it off. he'll take it into administration and pick out the bits of value in a new co. could be miles off track but selling the brand off doesn't get him anything and he won't like that......

Couldn't agree more. I have bought in and out of this share but only on the back of seeing an opportunity to grow overall size. i sold a chunk as the world moved into depressed sectors as the market is sentiment driven way more than any balance sheet objectivity. i've bought back in at 2.64 and will hold, i dont see any trading updates until January so can't see a mammoth jump. Auditor appointment may impact the price, but not to the level it dropped as its a sentiment rather than sensible decision. If major institutionals are adding, they will have a price target as there isnt a divi to take. GLA

Getting bored of the US tattle. Presidency and dual listing / re listing. Anyone want to educate me why we think this will spike the SP?

Interesting tact and its one i think i'll follow. If you think you've caught the bottom then be careful as Tacet follows his candles.... im holding to ensure this is moving the right way as i have limited confidence, i can see the logic but it feels anathema to my natural instinct.

guess the biggest driver will be when/ if it moves from the AIM ( not sure needs to happen to do this - any advice ? ) and starts to deliver dividends to move to a more mature share, then you get the large institutional investors who see it as a stable stock. At the moment its my equivalent of a penny stock/ adrenaline rush!

that would assume the SP links to oil price?! if it was that easy i wouldnt be sat nursing a loss here. Will be intriguing with US election and ex div to see what the markets generally do and then decide to pile in or keep some cash till Feb!!

Think you need to consider the benefit of a SAYE scheme- it usually comes out of Gross salary and at a discount if held for a period is tax free- unless the business is a complete dog, i'd snap it up if i was an employee and can afford it- usually limited to £150 a month.

ha, agree it folds like an amateur poker player every time there is a little negativity. "its freetrades most traded share" tells me everything i need to know- followed by lots of PI's (like me) who panic or attempt to be come day traders without really understanding the market or macro influences.

I'm taking a medium term hold with all of my shares now - have price targets for all holding including if it's a SP growth and divi payer. I'm holding here till it gets to £3.70 ish which it could/ should do with some decent trading updates and a new auditor appointed. it's a decent business model and compared to other online retail such as "Thread" reliant onit's on supply and design rather than trying to buy and act as a reseller. bricks and mortar is dying from a fashion perspective, look at the major sport fashion operators, reducing listing in stores and offering direct where they cut the middle man out. i've divested all of my retailers although think there will still be some bargains out there. JDW one i like as it has such scale and owns a lot of freeholds, has no major tie ins to breweries and is a value consumer offer. However i'm not touching it till post Christmas

Ha,google is an idiots friend. RNS is the regulatory news service - anything important gets announced via these sources, rest is all rumours. Couple of American funds have upped stakes to a declarable level. Usually a good sign as they tend to do a fair bit of due diligence on company and wider sector. Number of companies provide this - guidepoint is one I consult for.

Agree. Was going to top up as thought it would improve with a much better than expected set of results. I’d suggest we will see a bounce tomorrow but quite frankly it’s a lottery. Intrigued by Tacets candles but after a cursory glance at the myriad of scenarios decided to buy some more boohoo instead ! This one I’ll return to in 6 months when I will have a couple of Dividends and hopefully a sensible SP return..... but ffs!

Complete gamble, BP announce first so if the news is better than expected with dividend and cash generation with no further write offs, the share price should leap as div will be 6-8%. Shell will jump on back of this. However, I’d put some into Boohoo as SP also likely to move - but who knows which way for either in this madness! Oil safer in mid term and hopefully still paying a divi

This share is not for the faint hearted. Took a decent profit when it rocketed to 380. Bought back in at c.300. Topped up again low 230 as see decent ramp up and a long term opportunity.
Clearly has some maturity issues as a business and supply chain rigour key. The risk in supply chain of higher costs will be offset by moving procurement to more established cheaper labour markets as every year other supplier. Strong online and no bricks and mortar millstone. Like the share and think in the Uk tech desert it offers a long term opportunity. Just don’t look at the shares for 6 months ??

holding these and selling those where i'm in profit as whole market will continue to bounce around. This will get choppy for short termers. looked at the tech stocks and the upward drive but im essentially a bargain hunter so discounted them as thought they were ripe for a fall! who knows

As a reasonably new private investor i've been buying into stocks and sectors i understand. Point to note, this hasn't helped in any way shape or form! Greggs and JDW two shares i got into and out of at the wrong times!! if i'd held my nerve and stuck to the business values and principles i'd have done well- it's a learning experience and i see these investments as held in an ISA and kept for mid term value.
You need to be brave or lucky to make a quick return in the current climate.... i always sell too early or buy too late trying to find the respective top and bottom of the market!
i've learnt to avoid tipsters and unless you have hours to spare reviewing the various maths formulas, stick to a share that you can see a strategy for and understand its place in the wider market. I've learned that attempting to work out what will happen to the SP on a daily basis is a complete lottery so have taken the view that i hold and assume that this is essentially a sound business that in the mid term will be incredibly volatile with strategic direction challenged, oil price challenged, US elections, Brexit, Covid etc etc so trying to call the top and bottom of the SP is mildly amusing as no one has any idea in these unique times, there is no algorithm for this or experiential data set to help! ..... Good luck

Agree, will be a much greater outsourcing opportunity and spread of channels and geographies means this is a buy. I just took a 20% profit at 12.95 as think there will be lots of ups and downs, none of it linked to the company value, so when it hovers back around 12 for a few mins i'll be back in

Simple value model that controls its own supply chain. strong franchise model if capital constrained. This is a "brand" and from a value perspective will do well for consumers, has always been a takeaway model so limited impact from the COVID consumer fear around eat in. if sales in first weeks back are at 72% of last year this will scoop up market share as the country gets back to work.
Cheap at £12 IMO
