Nice rise this morning, hope you had a good break skinny. :-))

Yes thanks DC - does that update warrant the size of rise?

? Tough times ahead. Less money in consumers pockets and inflation hitting shoes and clothes. May be a short lived revival.

Next continued to sustain declines in full price sales from its shops in the third quarter but thanks to strong online and catalogue growth the clothing retailer marched on towards its full year targets. Full price sales in the third quarter were up 1.3% on last year and sales in the nine months of the year to 29 October are down 0.3%.

Down nearly 8% on that news so far!

Wednesday January 3:
Trading update: Next Plc (LON:NXT)

Proactive investor - Clothing stores blue chip Next Plc (LON:NXT), as is traditional, will be first out of the blocks on Wednesday, with the story expected to be a familiar one as its high street shops struggle and Directory (its catalogue and online offering), picks up the slack.
The latest news that footfall on the high street for the Boxing Day sales was lacklustre won’t make pleasant reading for investors in Next and other retailers.
However, this update covers the weeks leading up to Christmas and there are some hopes that trading could have been better, especially given the more seasonal weather pattern.
However, Next’s last trading update wasn’t very encouraging as the group reported sales falling by 7.7% partly due to the pressures faced by the consumer and online competition and this will no doubt show up in the full year sales figures.
