I have been in and out of these a few times :-)) ..... bumping around their bottom but starting to bounce a little ..... closed @ 87/90p on Friday.

They have fallen from grace because of poor distribution probelens caused by poor management and an out of House warehousing system. THis is being sorted and new guys have replaced the old .....

Great brand name and selling could be overdone ..... anyway I am in for a few @ 90p and will let them ride for a while - not a t trade. Recent director buying around this price

bought @ 90p - currently moving up at 141/145p 13/05 = plus 56.66% net

Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited go above 10%.

Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited go below 10%.

Skinny, I would not be surprised if they were to march up another even higher hill once again.

I like this stock due to the fact that the focus of the business on this one sector. In addition the potential overseas growth due the the weakness of the pound.

Truely a destination store.

I have been adding this morning at around 1.19

a destination store? ...... in your dreams
supermarkets now stock very good quality and cheap baby clothes

things like prams will generally be bought on line

MTC have a great oniline business http://www.mothercare.com/ as well and is an international growth area - how many other companies have an intenational brand and foothold?

Regardsless of cheap baby clothes being sold in supermarkets, MTC is the place to shop and they have so many exclusive lines, including top selling prams, quality car baby/child seats that supermarkets do not stock - nursery furniture - plus expert advice., advice the supermarkets cannot give.

How many middle earning families that are expecting, will not go into a Mothercare Shop before the arrival, and in turn the Grans to be etc. to pick up gifts and ideas for mum to be, and remember it is the silver surfers that trust the brand and will place orders on-line. This is one retail business that will be pretty solid in hard times as well.

The new formated stores are performing and the job is almost done, plus the international business is the real jewel in the crown going forward. I would not be surprised to see the Chinesse coming in with a bid before the company starts to show what progress they have made over the past two years, DYOR

Brokers have also raised their targets and i expect will continue to do so.

my daughter for starters who has a 17 month and a new born and my daughter-in-law whose 2 boys are now 5 and 7 or thereabouts

anyway, your choice where you put your money, but MTC is assuredly not mine

Each to their own cynic, I expect you are so wealthy that your grandchildren only get designer products, or she is so concerned with her budget that she shops at supermarkets and so called discount/outlet centres. :-)

Good luck.

my youngest grandchildren mostly have their clothes bought at ASDA (designed by "george" i think)
apparently the range, styling, quality and price are outstanding

LOL - designed by "George" you mean the label says George as George may have looked at it and noded his head.

It might well outstanding but unlike MTC they do not have an international branding like Mothercare or have such an extensive range of reasonable quality products that in many cases, I suspect are of far better quality than many so called designer labels.

The store on a high street, that I see when shopping, is always reasonably busy and the staff look happy and it has a great reputation.

george (assuredly not a designer label) will almost certainly be run by some sort of committee, as is the case with most large fashion houses
nevertheless, they seem to have got the touch at least for now

MTC seems to be breaking out from its recent range cynic, so let us hope this trend continues.

This is more than selling baby grows - MTC Grows

Currently in the 125/127 range.

enjoy :-)

Hopefully it will continue, so I can. Thanks.

Disappointing - you were correct cynic - still out now, just about square.

most stocks were caught in yesterday's squall, but longer term, you already know my views on MTC ....... they're not necessarily right, but high street stocks are high risk for all the obvious reasons

With such a good level of trade being done on-line by MTC - it seems a fair wager to get a few back in at around these levels - 1.05/1.06. We shall see this time around cynic.

i hear MTC now stock a line of sharp kitchen knives :-)

LOL - It is a cut throat business and a set of knives might come in handy if one was minded to slit the throats of those that are cynical about MTC`s prospects.

If the figures are better than expected then whoosh - upwards and onwards, if not cut and run?
