One comment on roll out.
If you divide the roll out costs by stores openings in the period you get / store :-
2005 2360
2006 5290
2007 3570
Doesn't look as though he's going for growth at any cost!

Unfortunately if people looked into the balance sheet of a company like this they could have avoided the pain. however most people just buy stock on hype and speculation.

i can't read balance sheets or any of that sort of stuff ...... however, the whole concept of franchising overseas etc never stood up when there was no proven and solid base to support in UK
from 10/7/07
"i have said it before, it gives me concern (or it would do if i was investing my money) that COH does not seem to have a solid homebase, yet it thinks it has the knowledge and strength and financial and organisational skills to open up willy-nilly abroad ...... feels to me like a great leap of faith for both the management and the investors!"

the management would look to have zero idea of how to run a company successfully anywhere

Do you know anything about the chairman Richard Worthing? I would suggest you do a google search and check out his history with Estee Lauder and then do a search on Bill Curry and check out his history too... They don't need a solid base in the UK they are not interested in the UK as its saturated and the idea for COH came out a visit to Poland by Richard Worthington. Do your research and then your comments won't look so silly. Regards a very happy holder of COH...

Why invest in the uk at the moment? what is the exchange rate doing? does not the 10% deflation in the pound have an effect on this companies value when it trades in the euro?

Indeed trigger when you take into consideration that Mr Currie has just topped up by 3 million shares, me thinks this guy knows what he's doing especially being an ex fund manager... The saying goes follow the director buys/sells...
