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!!

have never ventured onto e-bay so no idea even how it works

however, i thought i saw in the papers or on line about a bumper crop of returns from on-line shoppers ..... when i've got my clients' requests and enquiries sorted out, i'll try to find the comment again

===========

we had an exceedingly jolly christmas as always, but we are about to be invaded en masse until 2nd January by our (adult) children + bf and/or wife + 2 young grandchildren (4 and 2 i think)
fortunately i can escape to the office for a few hours (as now) as it's only about 10 minutes walk away
may even play golf on one day, though it'll prob be pretty farcical after these hard frost

Personally I love eBay.... Facebook is also a platform used for buying and selling locally and is free, my wife has sold loads on facebook, quicker and cheaper than eBay but of course it doesn't attract as wide a audience as eBay so depends on what it is your selling. For cloths though facebook and a local sell I'd have thought would be better.

.

a pile of bullshit up there as usual ..lol

anyway, has been solid net year here , looking for even more next year, wishing good sensible trading to handful out there (just ones who use stops!)...
others just waste of space..lol
well I know just one who use stops actually , Chris, happy new year buddy !

Happy New Year tomasz! :0) Stick in don't let the bastards grind you down. Respect!

Looking good for another round south..

Still below the target but little baby picking up nicely.

That dispatches programme on Channel 4 Low Pay Britain wasn't good for ASOS

.. Or for the "Con' Party/Government.

...all legal and fully compliant....no issue to rise.
Shake it off ...:)

surprise close above the range, could be ECB tomorrow play could be this :

The Russian conceptual fashion designer and photographer Gosha Rubchinskiy has teamed up with British online fashion and beauty store ASOS for a photoshoot of the online shop’s spring/summer 2015 menswear lookbook. The designer, known for his streetwear influences, was involved in the casting, location, styling and creative direction, resulting in a photoshoot that bore his distinctly urban look.

Rubchinskiy’s new show for his 2015 collection is taking place today in Paris.

or still can be a fake..don't matter..... not complaining here anyway , just 3% more to holding break even ...:))

LOL, LOL, LOL, Breakeven he says!!!! hahahahahahahahaha!!

nice fake today as I thought, come on lower now..

Nick bring the news after close that he unloaded 744k..wonder if it hit the open below last gap, could be alright..

StockMarketWire.com
Exane BNP Paribas has upgraded its recommendation in respect of online retailer ASOS (LON:ASC) to 'outperform' from 'neutral', stating that it believes the business is "better positioned than ever before".

The broker added: "As underpinned by our new framework, our valuation methodology moves to incorporate a 9% terminal margin.

"Alongside revenue and earnings upgrades, which build to c.15% upgrades in FY20, our target price moves to £40 (from £26).

"It'll be a volatile journey, but ASOS are back on track."

Less optimistically, Liberum Capital repeated its 'sell' call and 1,400 pence target price in a note to clients, yesterday.

agree, harrycat, all good news ,holding is recovering, but at the same time more difficult to get a nice leveraged bite of it, still reconnaissance mode for me here (piss taking mode though).

also a bit of going on in the background may contribute too (if anyone else interested..i strongly doubt it .. )
The corporate team at the Leeds office of Irwin Mitchell has advised Trillenium UK Ltd on a joint venture with ASOS Ventures Limited, the venture capital arm of ASOS plc.

Jim Slater -


Asos, the online clothing retailer, is a classic and chilling example of what unexpected operating problems can do to the shares of a company on a very high p/e ratio.

When the company was the darling of the market, the shares reached £70 on an astronomic p/e ratio. Today, after a setback in trading and the chief executive’s sale of a large stake on Wednesday, they are at £25.50, at which price they are still on a very off‑putting forward p/e ratio of more than 56.

Even if Asos doubled its earnings per share the shares would still be on an unappealing multiple of 28.

In contrast, the shares in my IHT portfolio are much safer, with relatively low prospective p/e ratios and the strong probability of being given a higher rating by the market.
