How can there be anything interesting to be said about BKE. as I see it Mr Philip Davies has about 40k invested---ie peanuts.

BKE WILL NEED ONE HELL OF A LOT MORE DOUGH BEFORE IT CAN EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING OFF THE GROUD AND IT WILL COME BACK ON TO THE SHAREHOLDERS FOR IT.------IN TYPICAL WORTHINGTON STYLE AND--------- THEN DIGGLE INVESTMENTS WILL HAVE A HOLD ON YOUR CASH FOR DOING NOWT----JUST LIKE BEFORE

SO YOUR DILUTED BEFORE YOU EVEN START.

MUCH BETTER VALUE ELSEWHERE.

BUT IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THE SUCKERS---OOOPS SORRY INVESTORS DO

beemer2 - 08 Jul 2007 10:46 - 1678 of 2037

AH

Should be an interesting week for both COH and BKE...

David10B - 08 Jul 2007 11:09 - 1679 of 2037

YES IT WILL IF THEY WISE UP LIKE I think they might.

Then they will see that both BKE(thank you for bringing it to my attention) and COH are companies of very little substance!

COH not being able, as its obviously not, to turn in some decent Nett profits after all these years.....NEVER MIND THOUGH PERHAPS SNACK ATTACK CAN HELP THEM OUT.

beemer2 - 08 Jul 2007 11:15 - 1680 of 2037

AH

JLH is also becoming very interesting...DYOR.

AdieH - 08 Jul 2007 11:36 - 1681 of 2037

Cheers Beemer, totally invested at present but will watch JLH, don't use Advfn what is the debate around BKE?

David10B - 08 Jul 2007 11:36 - 1682 of 2037

Oh Gawd another Worthigton bumble see how Warm Welcome steps in and out as if perchance someone pulls their strings---where is Diggle? it thas to be in there somewhere in the Worthington web.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS ONE INTO THE FRAME FOR ALL POTENTIAL SHAREHOLDERS TO SEE THE PENNY OPPORTUNISTIC PIES THAT WORTHINGTON HAS HIS FINGERS IN-

beemer2 - 08 Jul 2007 11:40 - 1683 of 2037

AH

Could be a 5 bagger...

David10B - 08 Jul 2007 11:58 - 1684 of 2037

So here we have the Worthington cache with thanks to beemer 2----

Please check them all out people and perhaps you can see why I say caution and that I would not touch them-----with yours!

Here they ae the terrible three COH, BKE AND JLH.

AdieH - 08 Jul 2007 12:32 - 1685 of 2037

Cheers beemer, does it give the reasons for this prediction?

beemer2 - 08 Jul 2007 13:25 - 1686 of 2037

AH

Punters are offering a number reasons for the sudden interest in BKE at the moment, but as yet nothing clear cut, needless to say the large trades are fuelling the rise in the SP.

Definitely worth a punt at the moment, as always DYOR.

David10B - 08 Jul 2007 13:59 - 1687 of 2037

There you are gentlemen you have it on the authority of the hasbeemer, BKE is definately worth a punt---so what d do I know. Punt aways please.

beemer2 - 08 Jul 2007 14:13 - 1688 of 2037

99.99999% of PI's do their own research before buying shares....00001% might be taken in by an intelligent deramper, but as you are thick and stupid, nobody can possibly take any notice of you...quite simple really.

Have nice day...not.

Federer to win.

David10B - 08 Jul 2007 14:28 - 1689 of 2037

Then so be it, I am now officially thick and stupid and nobody should take the least bit of notice of me, so please buy BKE, COH AND JLH and leave MLR and TESCO and a few others to us dumies,

beemer2 - 08 Jul 2007 15:12 - 1690 of 2037

1st set to Federer...this is going to be a classic.

AdieH - 08 Jul 2007 16:11 - 1691 of 2037

Dont count Nadal out yet...

beemer2 - 08 Jul 2007 16:14 - 1692 of 2037

True...great game.

David10B - 08 Jul 2007 18:36 - 1693 of 2037

Well done Roger Federer a five-set classic

David10B - 09 Jul 2007 08:48 - 1694 of 2037

Here is a sensible poster from iii[a rarity](with full acknowledge ment to both source and author)-

Now if Worthington would only be just a little more forthcoming with his RNS there would be no need for totally confused shareholders-----would there?

Re: Good News! HEDMAN
While I'm frustrating everyone with my simplistic views on here can anyone explain this, as I just can't get my head around it.

As of 1 June 2007, the Group increased its equity interest in CHI Bulgaria OOD
from 19% to 100%. The consideration was not material.

Unless I've missed it I'm not aware they are in partnership with anyone.

Would really apreciate anyone explaining this to me in laymans terms.

Good luck all.

David10B - 09 Jul 2007 09:07 - 1695 of 2037

The inevitable slip has started this morning with COH losing ground.

I dont think there will be a better time to get out than now at these prices which I fear you wont be seeing again for a while.

Have a great day.

David10B - 09 Jul 2007 11:11 - 1696 of 2037

Here is another sensible poster fromthe ramper's paradise over on iii[a rarity](with full acknowledge ment to both source and author)-

The author Milesbetter says Let's walk before we try to run.

The simple answer is that COH has had seven long years to be up and running, but it appears to be happy crawling along----snails pace.

ITS HEADED GOOD NEWS ALTHOUGH i DONT SEE MUCH IN IT

NEVER MIND PERHAPS SNACK ATTACK WILL SAVE IT.

Re: Good News! milesbetter
Whilst I like everyone else want to see more stores, because we see that as the quickest route to more profit, I think we have to be realistic. In order for this to happen you need quite a large team working with/for you. Each potential site needs to be visited (lots and lots of time & travel) and a full financial evaluation done before the decision can be made to open or not. Then you have to get the legals done draw up site plans, order shopfit, retain contractors etc. Whilst all this is being done you need another set of people organising the recruitment and training of staff. Each new site, particularly for a small buisiness like COH sucks in a huge amount of time, energy, effort and focus. There is many a retail business that has spent too much time on store openings, that has at the same time allowed the core buisness to drift which has then resulted in poor LFL growth that has then impacted on the group profit at a time when the new stores are not yet generating cash. My advice to RW would be to plan a steady sustainable growth of the business rather than going for 30+ stores in the next couple of years. Once the business is large/profitable enough to be able to afford a dedicated store opening team then we can look forward to a much more aggressive opening programe. Let's walk before we try to run.
