hmmmmm yes your right.

Never traded these (I don't think) although I seem to remember trying to short them once.

I tend to get shares like these very, very wrong - I'd rather trade the Nikkei after a Friday night out!

Blimey that bad, LOL.

on fundamentals, i'ld guess that NXT is much better than either ASC or SGP

a comparative chart below ..... make of it what you will
SGP = blue
ASC = red
NXT = green

Explosive growth is something that Supergroup has delivered in spades, though it has led to some extensive growing pains for the owner of the almost ubiquitous Superdry brand.

"Supergroup will deliver strong earnings growth at the Prelims on Thursday: we are top of the range with our profit before tax forecast of £53m. The new management team has started the company on a road towards a much more sustainable growth profile, and with the autumn/winter ranges likely to impress, we stick with a BUY," said Oriel Securities.

Panmure Gordon is also a fan and recently raised its price target on the stock to 898p from 836p previously. It forecasts profit before tax of £51.4mln. The range of broker forecasts extends from £49.5mln to £53mln.

SuperDry brand-owner confident on new ranges as profit rises11 Jul 2013 - 07:44

LONDON, July 11 (Reuters) - SuperGroup , the company behind fashion brand Superdry, posted a 22 percent rise in annual profit on Thursday and said the reception for its new ranges, in particular in womenswear, underlined its confidence. The British company, which competes with brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch and Jack Wills in casual clothing like hooded sweatshirts, posted adjusted pretax profit of 52.2 million pounds ($78 million), just beating average market expectations. Chief Executive Julian Dunkerton said he was pleased by the performance of its 2013 ranges and the early reaction to its 2014 products and remained confident in the prospects for the group. As previously flagged, revenue for the year to April 28 rose 14.9 percent to 360.4 million pounds, with like-for-like retail growth - at stores open at least a year - of 5.7 percent. Analysts were expecting the group to report underlying pretax profit of 51.2 million pounds, according to a Thomson Reuters poll of 10 brokers.

Need to get in quick Cyners this is the next ASC,

In technology think XAR could also continue to rise and rise and rise.

Yep moving up again.

ASC is a totally different kettle of fish - and also a company that i happen not to like ...... i would hold NXT, but it really is a bit hefty

==============

have thought about it and decided against as i don't think the amount i'ld be prepared to wager is likely to produce anything like the profit to warrant the risk
