ASOS have dropped quite significantly in the past week for no particular reason and I view this as the perfect opportunity to invest as I can see them bouncing right back up to the 5.50p mark in the next 2-3 weeks. STRONG BUY!!

Found it!

Thanks jj50.

nyleve - in since 10p You lucky man!!!!!

queen1, yes, read about ASOS on Citywire Feb 2004 - took my first step in trading, thought I had lost it when it went from 80+ down to 40 odd, but hung on, thankfully. Going through the same sweat with Stanelco now !!!!! Hope the same prayer works lol

I bought at 10.13 too - think it was a Jemma George comment on Citywire. Sad she is not there any more but she is running a company called IP Live. Bought a few (very speculative) shares in her company as she seemed to be very astute, so seemed worth a punt!

Well you both did very well. I didn't get in until mid-50's but am glad I didn't sell when they went down into the 40's. nyleve, I'm also in SEO which isn't much fun at present!

Guys, don't be tempted to sell after the trading results next week. Internet sales now account for 5b of the 75b retail market and Asos is well poised to take a bigger slice of the Net. Their marketing team is excellent and the management is switched on. Personally, I think there will be further instituitional interest or this company will be taken over. All IMHO & DYOR.

I agree ramu. And even if the sp doesn't do as much as we want over the next couple of years I'm certain that ASC will be a take-over target if results continue to impress.

Hitwise record more visits to internet retail sites this year than last year. Not mentioned asos but hope this is included. Agree with the above not be to concerned about results announced on tuesday (partly because of move to new warehouse) but look for clues about growth and sales for this xmas. Good luck to holders.

Why the big drop the day before the results are announced, does somebody know something? extremly fed up!!!

A good positive article, makes it even more frustrating the price going down rather up!

doesn't that make it an ideal opportunity to top up ?

Baza

Thats what im thinking Baza, but not sure how the market will react after the results 2morrow. Been watching blvn all day thinking it cant go any higher but it hasnt stopped. blvn or asc decisions decisions eh.

I've been watching this for a while too and personally I'm expecting it to come back on the results (I stress I'm not basing this on any specific information), more gut feeling that there'll be better opportunities to top up. I'm not convinced the results will be anything outstanding but the next taking into account Christmas sales is a different story.

Chief Executive's Statement

I am pleased to report an increase in Group sales of 78% for the period to
8.3m. Sales for ASOS.com, the Group's main trading subsidiary, were up 86% to
8.1m.

In-line with internal forecasts and following significant investment in resource
and capacity, the group made a loss (before amortisation of goodwill and tax) of
6,000 versus a profit of 240,000 for the same period last year. The loss
before tax was 120,000 against a profit of 126,000 for the same period last
year. Basic loss per share was 0.17p (2004: earnings per share 0.18p). The
figures above are after 251,000 of one-off costs associated with the warehouse
move.

Capital expenditure within the period was 686,000 with a further 400,000
budgeted for the second half of the year.

The Market
According to the IMRG - 22 million British Shoppers will spend 5 billion online
this Christmas, an average of 208 each and generating 130 million internet
shopping deliveries.

Outlook
We have invested in our management and logistical teams, doubled the size of our
buying and merchandising team and bought ourselves sufficient logistical
capacity to support continued high levels of growth.

Last year we added four new departments: jewellery, footwear, beauty and
accessories. This year, we have again responded to the needs of our customers
and put a team together that can deliver 800 hot new fashion lines a month,
double our average for the last 12 months.

ASOS is still very popular amongst its core target market and in October 2005 we
were again the second most visited Clothing and Apparel site behind Next,
attracting over 1.1 million unique visitors. In November 2005 we expect this to
rise to 1.4m unique visitors, a 46% increase year on year. As at the 28th
November, we had 725,000 registered users.

I remain optimistic about the prospects for the business. The strategy of
delivering 800 new lines per month will be supported by strengthening our
supplier terms and improving our gross margin. We will use the relatively
quieter 4th quarter of the financial year ending 31st March 2006 to introduce
technology efficiencies into our logistical operation.

not much in the results that was not in the market place not much headway in share price at the moment.

Seems like investors have reacted to the very thing we new was going to happen, warehouse move would effect the results. we knew this before today so why sell today. might be a good time to back in 71p now.

Well I thought 80p was a fair price - this seems a bargain - especially with Xmas coming up and more and more people shopping over the Internet
