Jacque Vert are a favourite of mine. I've bought on each downturn and collected some nice profits in the past.

With some amazing assets and brandnames, bought for shares last year, the smart boys are now ready for action. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a takeover before the finals, people are now moving in.

Should I buy more?

JRM - 20 Feb 2004 15:57 - 2 of 67

I'll learn how to spell their name once it hits 20p!

JRM - 24 Feb 2004 15:23 - 3 of 67

A little mixed today, but Shares were very positive on Friday

JRM - 24 Feb 2004 15:52 - 4 of 67

I guess todays problem is simply due to market conditions. Buyers are still out there.

JRM - 01 Mar 2004 15:39 - 5 of 67

It's going again!

JRM - 09 Mar 2004 09:42 - 6 of 67

Steady today!

JRM - 19 Mar 2004 15:57 - 7 of 67

They're warming up again!

JRM - 24 Mar 2004 16:18 - 8 of 67

Wait 'til this beauty starts to rise!

JRM - 31 Mar 2004 15:59 - 9 of 67

Getting ready for an uplift?

JRM - 01 Apr 2004 12:41 - 10 of 67

Any thoughts, Actif and Alexon were both positive

Greetings JRM.
Its looks as though its a lonely life posting on this thread. You seem to be talking to yourself! Fear not for the Lord (Gnome) is with you. I see JQV as a potential three-bagger on a twelve month view. Hope we'll see a positive trading statement at the end of the month and a good run up to the results. Keep the faith - we just need a few more partners.

Lord Gnome

JRM - 10 Apr 2004 19:12 - 12 of 67

Thank you!
I'm usually alone!

JRM - 21 Apr 2004 15:48 - 13 of 67

Why are they panicing today. This is the perfect takeover candidate. Good brand, big institutional share holder, good assets (Remember Baird) Low market value etc. Should I buy more?

blanny19 - 21 Apr 2004 21:16 - 14 of 67

Just curious about the departure of Bill Walker - was this expected as everyone seems to still be upbeat about JQV? Had he done all he was hired to or was this a big surprise?

Cheers, Blanny19

JRM - 23 Apr 2004 09:47 - 15 of 67

The speed was a bit unexpected but I think the ideals he imposed will hold the company in good sted.

Todays trade is mixed

JRM - 26 Apr 2004 14:45 - 16 of 67

Please talk to me!

JRM - 27 Apr 2004 15:13 - 17 of 67

The spread has spread slightly.
Is this the bottom?

Lord Gnome - 27 Apr 2004 22:19 - 18 of 67

Greetings JRM, just checked in to see if you were still alive. Are we alone? Do you think anyone else is eavesdropping?
Is this the bottom indeed - or is it the end? I've given up with this share. Still its the end of the trading year on Friday let's hope for better things to come in 2004/05. Still a long way to go before we get results in July. I don't suppose that there is any chance of a trading update is there?
I continue to hold only because I just couldn't bare to sell out at this level.

Lord Gnome

JRM - 28 Apr 2004 10:15 - 19 of 67

We need more smart ladies!

JRM - 30 Apr 2004 09:52 - 20 of 67

Thoughts please. I'm all alone again!

Lord Gnome - 30 Apr 2004 15:44 - 21 of 67

Just popped in to say hello JRM. No news, this is without a doubt the most unoved share on the market. Most of us are here because we were daft enough to buy in after the ramp by Mark Watson-Mitchell - I hope the smug git's bank have called in his overdraft!
Still, today is the last day of fiscal 04 for JQV. Let's hope that May starts a new and more positive chapter in the JQV story. From tomorrow morning we could be sitting on a share with a forecast EPs of 4.87 and a forward P/E of just 3.18! (Figures taken from Barclays Stockbrokers concensus of brokers forecasts). This share will have to move soon if that forecast holds good.
I might give the company a call and ask if they have any plans to issiue a trading update.
Keep the faith - this could still turn out for the best.

Lord Gnome - 30 Apr 2004 15:48 - 22 of 67

By the way - forecast EPS for this year is 1.57p for an EPS of 10. I won't buy any more until results - I want to see if the current forecast is anywhere near correct and I'll read what the directors have to say. If it is accurate and the forward statement sounds positive then let's make sure that we top up before the crowds arrive!

Lord Gnome

JRM - 05 May 2004 11:03 - 23 of 67

Come on chaps, keep the faith!

JRM - 06 May 2004 11:47 - 24 of 67

Will this morning about Belinda from Debenhams going to the competition spark any interest?

JRM - 07 May 2004 10:11 - 25 of 67

Some blue today. Perhaps we're rising!

JRM - 03 Jun 2004 11:47 - 26 of 67

Results are coming and the price is starting to rise. Don't forget what they own!

Any thoughts?

JRM - 11 Jun 2004 09:16 - 27 of 67

Is this another chance to buy?

The retail sector is popular at the moment and there are some big, powerful shareholders on the register.

Pond Life - 12 Jun 2004 17:14 - 28 of 67

Greetings JRM,
Its still lonely in here isn't it? I can't stand seeing a man talk to himself - it just isn't right! This is not a new poster - I am really Lord Gnome, but I have had to log in under a different name now.
I am still holding on to JQV - but only just. I can't stand watching my investment bleed away every day and if I had stuck to my usual rules I would have kept to my stop loss and sold out at 17p. However, I still believe that these shares are just too cheap to be true. If they are then we are quids in and if they are not then we are just suckers. Not long until we find out one way or the other. Best wishes to all sufferers.

Hi All, you kindly asked for the female input on this!
Jacques Vert, well kinda think of your Mum, the occassional hat, the occasional wedding uniform, this stuff really is for the middle of the road woman who doesn't know who she is, it neither makes a statement nor has it's own flair! IMHO.
Unfortunately for JV, we all moved on from this, if your looking for retail investments then Next, although pricery, does have the cutting edge; which is where the money keeps rolling in from.
I have seen this seasons JV range, i can see most items greatly reduced at many of our factory units for which JV dump tons every season at a fraction of the cost. Yes, sometimes i buy JV there, never otherwise!
Hope this helps.
Brocks

Pond Life - 14 Jun 2004 20:57 - 30 of 67

Brockman - er... or brockwoman!
Thanks for the posting, you seem to agree with my wife. Any views on the other brands in the JQV stable such as Planet, Windsmoor and Precis? My beloved thinks that they are all past it. Whenever I go to the shops (Debenhams) I always have a look at their offerings and I have never spotted a customer yet. Where's your factory unit? Is it worth a visit for some cheap designer togs?

Pond Life.

brockman - 16 Jun 2004 12:07 - 31 of 67

Ah, well you won't see the customers at the Windsmoor and Petite Precis sections in Debenhams, the gran's who are selecting from Windsmoor have shrunk by a foot, slow moving and are huddled over their zimmers, not easy to spot when walking the gangway through. The Petite Precis section may or may not be full of dwarfs, you will have to crawl the racks on your knees for better research ;o)

I do like Planet, they get it some of the time, however there is always rakes of it shipped to Ashfords McCarthur Glen factory unit. No one I know buys this stuff at their shops anymore, they don't seem to realize how much is "pisses a girl off" when they buy something and then see it two weeks later half price at the outlet.

The outlets I know are down here in Kent, we have the McCarthur Glen in Ashford and DeBradlei Wharf in Dover.

Brocks

JRM - 21 Jun 2004 15:54 - 32 of 67

Where have you all come from?

A top knob from Argus will shake things up and the price is already heading north.

Come on!

brockman - 26 Jun 2004 00:52 - 33 of 67

JRM, We come from the outlet centre!!
Argus, Argoos, that will take care of it, unless u wanna wear it!
Come on! ;o)

Pond Life - 26 Jun 2004 08:56 - 34 of 67

Burning the midnight oil Brocks?
Good week for JQV. Results are still almost a month away and the shares are heading north with a purpose. Volume has also increased. Has the market finally woken up to the improved prospects for the company? Our startlingly young new management team (in comparison) could yet make an impression on this dated rag trader and lead us all to the promised land.
Still on a current year forecast PE of just 4! 20p next stop ahead of results, fully valued at around 30p but could take time to go this extra mile.
Dream on!

Pondy

brockman - 26 Jun 2004 21:13 - 35 of 67

Yes, sorry Mr Pond Life, i didn't bother looking at the share price ;o(
Glad its turning around. I have used the thread as a source of light entertainment, but hey, that does bring it to the top everytime ;o) Cheering from now on, Brocks ;o)

Janus - 27 Jun 2004 18:24 - 36 of 67

Tend to prefer Slimma but you never know, will put JQV on my watch list.
Put some Graphs up on your header JRM please

Pond Life - 28 Jun 2004 20:43 - 37 of 67

Another tick up today. Hey - I'll be in profit in another week if this keeps up. The MMs are definately taking this one for a walk north. Carry on cheering Brocks!

JRM - 06 Oct 2004 10:11 - 38 of 67

I've bought more, I still think they're going to jump, are there any more believers out there?

We need smartly dressed ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!

skreen - 10 Jan 2005 11:53 - 39 of 67

This Company is trading at less than five times future earnings, has outperformed other clothing retailers over the last two months,its sales to capitalisation ration is the best in the sector and there is always a possibility of a takeover bid in the background.

JRM - 10 Jan 2005 15:09 - 40 of 67

Thanks, I agree and have believed for a long time I'd be truly excited by a move over 20p. But, the company is small and doesn't bother with things like trading update. Fingers crossed!

JRM - 15 Nov 2005 10:07 - 41 of 67

All buys today.

I'm back in!

Any thoughts?

Should be cash rich and paying a divi by next June!

JRM - 15 Nov 2005 11:55 - 42 of 67

The volume has hit 500 000 wow!

I'll take 'em over if I'd the cash -any offers?????????

JRM - 15 Nov 2005 12:08 - 43 of 67

= + 700 000!

JRM - 22 Nov 2005 13:11 - 44 of 67

Has the overhang now been sold off? The last buy was above the quoted buy price.

mackem - 22 Nov 2005 15:53 - 45 of 67

Just simply too cheap.

They are probably cash positive now such is their strong cash flow.

So within a year they will have large amounts of cash in bank, be making
substantial profits and be on forward PER of roughly 2-4, once the exceptionals
have finished in their long restructuring, i think the last lot were out in recent
results so look forward to dividends in the future.

Worth at least 15p and that's only on a PER of 5

mackem - 22 Nov 2005 16:33 - 46 of 67

Somebody must believe me, strong finish and a 400k delayed
buy to boot.

Worth researching and see how quickly they have reduced debt
to zero from a very large amount despite difficult trading, it always
pays companies thesedays in the retail sector to be cautious with
their trading statements.

mackem - 23 Nov 2005 10:42 - 47 of 67

1 million in block trades at mid price, 550k cross trade, there's
a big overhang clearing and somebody is getting a lot of stock
for a bargain price, off the small punters radar but should'nt be
because this has to given a more realistic rating at some point.

JRM - 29 Nov 2005 11:47 - 48 of 67

I still think its brand names are under utilised. The Asians and American would love them.

Good buying today.

It'll be good bye soon

JRM - 29 Nov 2005 13:05 - 49 of 67

The buy to sell ratio is over 5:1> Has the overhang now been cleared?

skreen - 29 Nov 2005 16:35 - 50 of 67

I would wait till 16 pence to make sure the big overhang in this share is gone. Then I will be plying in given it is so ridulously cheap.

mackem - 29 Nov 2005 23:34 - 51 of 67

The market is finally waking up, had one mm not got a sell order
late on today it would have took off, forward PER of 5 is 19p alone.

It's just too cheap.

JRM - 17 Dec 2005 14:49 - 52 of 67

Good write up in todays Telegraph

JRM - 03 Jan 2006 12:11 - 53 of 67

a SMALL DIP BEFORE THE BIG JUMP -SOMEONE ONCE SAID!

JRM - 03 Jan 2006 12:13 - 54 of 67

bUT WHY THE DIP WHEN VOLUMES ARE SO POSITIVE?

JRM - 11 Jan 2006 13:29 - 55 of 67

Another good day. What's happening?

JRM - 16 Jan 2006 12:08 - 56 of 67

THE GOOD RESULTS HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED.

JRM - 19 Jan 2006 10:55 - 57 of 67

There should be a rise in the next few days as the write-ups come through. What did Shares say this morning -My copy hasn't arrrived yet. I hope it's positive!

JRM - 27 Jan 2006 09:15 - 58 of 67

Where is the write-up in Shares. I can't believe this has been overlooked!

JRM - 02 Feb 2006 12:40 - 59 of 67

Have Shares included a write-up today?

JRM - 03 Feb 2006 14:52 - 60 of 67

Why haven't they included the results. They were brilliant and the company is now debt free with over 2million in cash. I can't believe they'll overlook this one. Can you?

JRM - 27 Feb 2006 13:26 - 61 of 67

The next takeover????????????????????

skreen - 29 Apr 2006 15:26 - 62 of 67

Massive profit warning yesterday. The directors wisely never bought.Get out now. I am disappointed that this share fell so far short of our hopes.

JRM - 07 Jul 2006 13:31 - 63 of 67

Some huge buys today

Will the Icelanders be coming?
