I know it's retail, but I'm getting a touch frustrated with this one.

1. They have £30 million in cash and only worth £39 million. They should make profits of over £8 million this year.

2. There is a global brand name.

3. The Directors could buy the shares they need to take the company private with the cash the company has in the bank -Wow that would equate to a 50% rise in the share price!

Twice as many buys as sells. Nice!

Profit taking today.

How cheated do I feel!

Still a decent profit still due, tthe cash pile should be an attraction for somebody!

Oh no what are they doing?

They've still close to £20 million in cash (SAME AS THE MARKET VALUE), an Asian growth story and an established brand.

It must be time to take this little gem off the market........

In August, French Connection reported a 7pc fall in sales for the six months to July 31 and said interim operating profits will be £7m down on last year.
