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!!

Think the easy money has been had here now anyway... :-)

If anything, its looking oversold.

certainly worth watching to see if it'll dip to 5000 or even a bit less
today's blip up looks unconvincing

disintegrating as i watch ...... the rise has been hovering +75/100 pretty much all day but is now only +5 and struggling to hold that

just off out, but it'll be interesting to see where it closes

the best thing is to see clueless patheticims, its like seeing small brain screaming for help..lol

anyway very interesting day, a few clues appeared on the map.

work on close above 52 by week end must be under way.££:-)

Intelligent logistics and materials handling solutions provider Dematic has been awarded a major order by global online fashion and beauty retailer ASOS.

Due to the rapid growth of ASOS, both domestically and internationally, Dematic was asked to provide a new miniload-based carton storage solution along with a batch pick and automated sortation solution for processing customer orders at ASOS’s newly expanded Distribution Centre in Barnsley.

In order to be able to store BDC1 cartons, used throughout the apparel industry, a large, high-bay storage facility consisting of 28 x ML20 Rapidstore cranes will be installed. The RapidStore ML Mini-Load ASRS product range is Dematic’s latest generation of highly flexible, energy-efficient storage and retrieval systems.
RapidStore ML systems are optimised for distribution centres, production and buffer warehouses and offer a new, groundbreaking type of flexible load handling device that supports a wide range of container and carton sizes.

As well as offering an extensive range of in-house equipment, Dematic as an integration specialist with an reputation for incorporating third-party equipment into its logistics solutions, were keen to provide the right automated sortation solution.

This led to ASOS appointing Dematic as the main contractor for the project, partnering with a leading supplier of hanging garment technology to provide a sortation solution capable of sorting flat-pack, hanging garments and non-apparel products into individual customer orders.

To manage the storage and order fulfilment process, Dematic will also be installing a full warehouse control system (WCS) from its software partner DAI, which has previously delivered over 100 global projects for customers who include many of the world’s largest apparel, grocery, manufacturing, distribution and 3PL companies.

ASOS said: “This is major investment in our logistics infrastructure and will play a pivotal role in ensuring that ASOS can continue to provide a world-class fulfilment service to our customers whilst building future capacity to support our continued rapid growth.”

Dave Bull, Dematic UK sales project manager, said: “Dematic are delighted to have won such a prestigious project. As well as our extensive previous e-commerce experience, we were able to demonstrate our proven capabilities to implement projects of this size within a working environment which gave ASOS peace of mind that the project would be completed whilst normal operation remained unaffected.”

Fashion | Brand Alert – Mosson Clothing, Asos Marketplace





As the semester draws to a close, most of us are probably experiencing premature financial panic, and losing sleep over how to make it through to the next loan day. With this in mind, it is always near impossible to resist a bargain – cheap vintage, no less. Though it may not be preserving the already dwindling student fund, we always feel slightly less guilty about splurging on clothes when it’s for the good of a worthy cause.

And what could be more worthy than supporting two of Leeds’ own? Mosson Clothing, a new womenswear boutique now open on Asos Marketplace, is the brainchild of Leeds University students Gerry Chow and Joanna Thompson, and the perfect excuse for a little pre-loan indulgence.

Gerry and Joanna, students of French and English respectively, spent last year living in Montpellier. Whilst on their year abroad, they found that they had a lot of free time, meaning that perusing the world famous Montpellier market became a weekend ritual. Sundays became synonymous with riffling through endless piles of authentic vintage clothing in search of the perfect items. The girls came across several pieces that they loved, but wouldn’t necessarily wear themselves, which is where the idea for Mosson Clothing was born.

Uncovering more hidden gems than they could ever dream of fitting in their own closets, and knowing that bona fide vintage is such a big thing in the UK, especially Leeds, Gerry and Joanna came up with the initial concept. They carefully sifted through and selected each and every piece themselves, opting for lots of striking ethnic and tribal influences, chunky knitwear, and lightweight shirts. Unlike so many popular generic stores found hiding in London’s Soho streets, often passing off reworked highstreet clothing as overpriced ‘vintage’, their clothes are all unique, second-hand pieces from the 80s and 90s.

Aside from weekly visits to the market becoming their staple French pastime, Gerry, who wants to go into Fashion Buying, said that it was the most enjoyable way of keeping busy whilst away from Leeds for a year, being proactive and learning a bit about the fashion business in the process. They learnt the craft of selecting pieces, branding, marketing and pricing. With their uni friends in mind, prices are student-friendly ranging from £8-£17. Managing to break the monotonous cycle of university, turning a profit, whilst spending a year in the south of France? Win-win.

Mosson Clothing is currently available exclusively online on Asos Marketplace, at https://marketplace.asos.com/seller/mossonclothing. Be sure to check the site regularly, as stock is constantly updated. Alternatively, seek out Gerry or Joanna on campus to make a purchase!

Interim Results

Highlights

· Retail sales up 34% (UK retail sales up 32%, international retail sales up 35%)
· 8.2 million active customers at 28 February 2014, up 36% on prior year
· Retail gross margin up 60bps
· Accelerated investment in IT and warehousing; full year capex of £68m

These results while focusing on heavy investment and transformation are fenomenal to me.

Looking at price action there is still good amount of limit sell orders left in the market, lets see if we can exhaust them before they exhaust us.

time to take a little risk for me at 4980, nice stop in place. exciting to be that low.for now...:)

Best be a wide stop!
