CARD... Card Factory, last results very solid hitting new highs. Could be a good xmas for this one. Tills are roaring ive just heard on twitter.

Here we are.........

Traders Own ‏@TradersOwn 14 minutes ago
@-------- A member of staff went into the #CardFactory last weekend. Massive queue of people. Waited 10 mins. The tills are ringing!

Massive queue of people. Waited 10 mins.
customers won't stand for that for long .... never heard of the shops/company

I suppose the poster was meaning it was very busy and expressed it wrongly. Of course he could have said loads in the shop browsing but no signs of tills ringing.

Now do you comprende cyners.

i read what was written, and in the light of that, i would not be at all keen to buy

also, loads of card shops fold every year - eg clintons and now lorimers (which m,ay just local to here) - as it's low value, albeit high profit margin, with main sales being very seasonal

in addition, there's the advent of on-line cards like moonpig and a number of others

They are online.

Recent trading performance

The Group continues to trade in line with the Board's expectations.

In the nine months ended 31 October 2014, revenue increased by 8.7%, driven by a combination of like-for-like sales growth, new store roll out and further growth in the complementary online division. This growth rate is similar to that delivered in the nine months ended 31 October 2013 (9.0%).

With 12 net new stores opened in the third quarter, a total of 48 net new stores have been opened in the year to date, bringing the total estate to 761 stores as at 31 October 2014. We remain on track to deliver approximately 50 net new stores in the current financial year, and we remain confident of the potential to expand the store portfolio to up to 1,200 stores in total, for which we already have identified locations.

Looking ahead to our next financial year ending 31 January 2016, the Group has a strong pipeline of additional new store opportunities and we remain confident of successfully continuing our historic opening rate of approximately 50 net new stores per annum.

Both our retail brands, Card Factory and Getting Personal (www.gettingpersonal.co.uk), are well prepared and positioned for the forthcoming Christmas trading period.

Financial position

The Group remains highly cash generative before financing activities.

As at 31 October 2014, net debt was at a similar level to that reported at the interim stage reflecting ongoing monthly profit generation offset by the build up of stock for the forthcoming Christmas trading period.

The Board expects to report a further reduction in this net debt position at the year end.

i read "stores, stores, stores, and yet more stores" ..... what's good about that?

Well yes good point we should be looking for organic growth which accounts for about 5%* of the growth (8.7% growth above) and inflation whichever rate you believe is what, approx 2%....... therefore 3%+ year on year real growth which is pretty solid going.

* last company report.

Looking at the US close tonight we have hit Octobers low of 6205 on the FTSE 100, bounced off it (good sign) and presently stand at 6234.

I think then we have to look at where is OIL going which is the catalyst for the present market carnage.

Good piece here from the Fibonnaci Queen Carollyn Boroden who gets it right more times than wrong and is far better than the 'elliot wave' camp at predicting future SP movements...........

Having had a good look at the indicies my latest position.....approx another 120 points to come off and a few more down days. With a rally approx 16th-18th. Im still bullish on a Santa Rally..........just.

Must admit rather frustrating though and in time I believe we will see big speculators come to the fore, George Soros as bound to have his fingers in this pie.

On the plus side if the right chap is elected in Japan it could be bullish for World Markets.

Heres the relevant support level im looking at on the FTSE 100 Daily.............



On FTSE weekly.......

cash ftse showing 6229 (effectively for monday) which must surely be about where your hoped-for support comes in
it's very likely that ftse will be another 20/30+ points lower than that ayt some point before say 10:00, so you/we'ld better hope that that is enough of a blow out

============

puzzled
you say that the black line is 200 EMA, but if i put that in on the MAM chart, it comes out at about 6650

ODD!

Just checked Sharescope 6638

worth reading ST Biz section today ......
long articles on both QPP and vulnerability of small and med sized E+P companies, witrh particular mention of both TLW and AFR

Right on cue, post 2483.

High beta stocks moving up very quickly and Ive got a few including ARM.

it's where backing the indices comes into its own

Yep used to do cyners with a bit of forex aswel but these days dont have the time let alone the patience to trade them.

forex i won't touch as i don't remotely understand it

did well with ftse o'night and some old dow (scary) longs are now back in the money

may have a quick dabble in C+M but must remind myself not to get o'excited as the underlying probs as outlined a week or so back have most certainly not disappeared

Yep you seem to be on form with the indicies.

MYSL seems to be heavily bought this morning. Story in press re possible corporate action. Certainly enough big egos bruised on this one recently, big Mike Ashley for one. I think a bid will come but it won't see those at the IPO getting their dollars back. 100p perhaps??
