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!!

this thing is right on the roof to me so just unloaded November stock. 850 pts run...

this could be the reason for the rise over the last few days.


British fast fashion e-commerce retailer ASOS is reportedly exploring the Chinese market with the help of YOHO! (yohobuy.com), a leading Chinese online fashion retailer.
It was reported by chinabyte.com that the senior managers of ASOS have shown up in Beijing and Shanghai to communicate with Chinese local e-commerce companies.
In fact, ASOS has issued a recruitment advertisement for a general manager position in China last December and listed China as its fifth largest international strategic market in 2011. However, ASOS has not entered the Chinese market so far, but only serves Chinese consumers with free global shipping.
Nevertheless, the difficulties of foreign e-commerce companies stepping into the Chinese market troubles ASOS as well, including the high acquisition costs and pressure imposed by local e-commerce companies who have reached certain advantages of scale.
Consequently, it seems better for ASOS to team up with a reliable partner instead of operating independently.
For instance, ASOS would likely not prefer to settle on Tmall or Taobao due to the failure of Japan’s largest fashion e-commerce company ZOZOTOWN.
At the same time, the apparel business of comprehensive B2C (business-to-consumer) platforms is relative weak, which cannot be counted on as a base for ASOS to develop.
According to one venture capital insider, the Chinese fashion e-commerce company YOHO! is very attractive in the capital market now that each time when staff of ASOS or ZOZOTOWN came to visit mainland China, YOHO! is always actively arranging with them.
YOHO! is quickly developing with the “e-commerce plus media” model to attract fans with the publication of a fashion magazine and YOHO.cn, a fashion BBS (bulletin board system), which helps to save a great deal on marketing costs.

yes , could be too, but there are few things working as usual.first its run up to quarter statement 20th after 50ma touch. then you've got better Christmas wich will put quarter numbers higher the estimate. now higher numbers here means probable higher end of FY EPS and higher price room to trade.nothing unusual I see here apart from the fact that I quit spread too early..ughh...could be mega sweet...:)

sure skinny , there are bunch of "experts" with different targets, but current market's "reality" is 3360 and right thing to do was being long up to this point- as for now...any decision different to this and any "experts" target price suggesting something different was simply wrong.no matter how serious expert's name is or how cleverly is putting in words...:)

200k buy at almost highest.. I would be happy if this was ending up order as this could be good to short exuberance..

3400 ! got to be kidding me! this looks so good that is start to be bad.

happy to admit that the gibbering czech/hungarian (english!) was right and i was wrong! ...... however, i still wouldn't go near this one, as i think it's now even more hopelessly over-valued!!!

you didn't call the right one but don't be surprised...as you born and bred here you'll be representation of archetype-prototype and with all prototype's shortcomings you have to expect modern english models being more effective.lol

now i know why i ignore you and this thread 99% of the time .... you're still and no doubt will remain a gibbering flake

that 1% remaining time just means that most of the time you trying really very hard to eclipse the truth that you're mistaken.denial in your case is working for your self esteem to keeps you nice and worm.. and away from painful truth..nothing unusual, not young anymore man...lol

Tomasz, Cynic paid you a compliment (4312), you chose to respond with a (mild) insult - at least that's what I think it was. No wonder he then responded with 4313. An apology would be a nice gesture.

i think i can live very happily without an apology - not that i sought one :-)

SC don't be naïve, 4311 is been classified as fraudulent appearance.i took short on that post.:)

erm.

dmc.

last minute..3375 looks so good that it could be bad also so I'm short.
