Investor sentiment is strong. I feel this has a long way to go and we'll see 50p in the next 3 to 6 months and 200p in two to five years. Could be a rocky ride to 50p but then nothing goes up in a straight line. Current management with Bill Currie will steer COH to profits and bigger market share.

Profit taking. Hang in there guys, this has a long way to go and I'm hoping to see 30p soon. All IMHO and DYOR.

RNS from Asos that William Currie is interested in 3m shares - about 4% of ASC. This is the same Mr Currie holding about 10% of COH. Asos is on uptrend and COH is now a tick up - could be the beginning of uptrend. Fingers crossed and Good Luck.

SP steady at 20.25p - I think it's time to top up.

Could W.Currie be selling some COH to pay for some ASOS?
Just a thought.

Ultimate Cynic, good one - you certainly justified your name.
To answer your question, WC is non exec director and if I remember my company law, any movement in directors' shares have to be disclosed. No RNS, therefore I can safely state WC has not been selling COH. SP was steady at 19.25p and I hope we have seen the bottom of the retrace. In hindsight, SP rose too fast on the back of Tesco rumours and board meetings and I think, like most shares, COH has found it's level. Most investors are of the opinion this will be around 30-35p by Easter, could be sooner if there's positive news. All IMHO & DYOR. Good luck

Regular posters - I hold shares in both COH and CFE - the latters shares have been active recently, with rumours of a potential bidder in the wings - the company also seems to have quality franchise ready roll out and expand.
Would this company suit COH - the name Coffee Republic is already recognised on the UK high street, espeically in London. Potentially a take over would give options with the Tesco tie up ???? in terms of branding??? - consumer, institutional or investor confidence, and also if the franchise model is proven a potentially low risk opportunity to achieve speedy effective expansion in this country - giving even more consumer confidence abroad as we expand across europe - my thoughts only dyor research - would beinterested in your thoughts - agree with most genuine posters COH WILL BE BIG IN THE FUTURE - Kind regards - AG

Why would COH invest in UK company, they were set up in virgin territory in Eastern Europe... they were looking for opportunities abroad not UK market, I think your way off the mark here AJ but interesting thoughts... COH are going places but not in the UK... I attended the AGM in December and believe this company if defintely going in the right direction under excellent leadership (RW has a proven track record)...

Augustman - you'll have to try harder than that. LOL. CFE = blue sky disaster in the south of england with pie in the sky ideas about franchising and delis. Could you tell us any more about the rumours? LOL. COH doesn't need it.

As I understand it the suggested tie up with Tesco is with its extensive E. European operations, not the UK bit. Tesco currently earns 20% (or did I read 32% somewhere earlier today?) of its revenues from its operations in Europe and Asia - something like that anyway.
So, maybe you're all a bit right (and an equal and opposite amount a bit wrong!).
My own instinct FWIW is that COH should stick to its last - I don't see tangling with Tesco resulting in increased gross margin or return on capital for a tiddler like COH.

Agree with stockdog - Tesco always looks after itself - doesn't make any sense for it to tie in with COH. Have been to Warsaw recently and was pleasantly surprised - the people there, especially, those less than 45 are certainly wanting outlets like COH.
Off topic - can someone give me the web address for adfm?or adfvm?

OK points well made - it was just a thought that I had given my interest in both these companies. Your replies make good sense. Thanks for responses - will await developments with interest. AG

ramu - Yes, I have become a cynic since 2001. Thanks for the reply and glad to learn that my cynicism in this case was unfounded!
I hold 150,000 COH and holding for the 2 year tax break at least.

Very positive write up in Shares magazine today page 30 (imho), headed Coffeeheaven's Strong Polish Brew. Seymour Pierce pencilled in break even next year 2007 based on profitability already achieved in Poland. They estimate like for like sales growing at 6%-7% across the group which is twice the growth achieved in the UK.
