Morning 2breakout, have to admit it passed me by :-)

On first look , seems a nice slow and steady defensive . I`ll keep it on my watchlist for a while.

I was heavily invested in retailers 2b but in the last few months I`ve sold JD,TED and BWNG. Valuations getting a bit toppy.

Apart from FCCN and BON the only other retailer I hold is RS McColls (MCLS) , convenience store operator. It`s only been on the market a while and has fallen back from the issue price. Looks good value here to me.

I`m not sure if you`d class SCHO as a retailer but I hold some of those as well.

[2breakout] 02/5/2014 14:26

Do you mainly invest in retailers, philanderer, they've had a fantastic run the last few years, seems to be getting tougher of late which makes FCCN run stand out even more. See you sold JD recently, any others you still see value in?

I like the BON business but feel i missed the boat when Joanna hart tipped it and it went up so much on the back of that. Tried buying in, thought it might crack 300p and head higher but has pulled back, so sold, being a bit safety first at the moment.

[philanderer] 02/5/2014 14:16

Hi 2breakout , I hold both. BON may well drift until their prelims on june 13th but I like their business plan and the management.

As for FCCN , their image is improving rapidly and they`ve got in some top new designers. I just hope they`re not taken out before they realise their full potential.

Luck with your holding :-)

Sold here last week at a slight loss and bought FCCN, never thought they'd shoot up that quick, but was impressed by their Selfie promotion and liked the look of their womenswear range for spring/summer.

IC Tip Update
"Priced at 301p the shares have risen 4 per cent since our Buy tip(289p 27/2/14)
but given the scope for further self help,store expansion,and online growth-sales there still represent just 6 per cent of the group total-Bon Marche's shares,rated at 16 times forward price earnings still have further to go.BUY.

[2breakout] 14/4/2014 09:58

Bought a few more. Looks good for a breakout and impressed with trading update.

[philanderer] 14/4/2014 09:47

Started nicely , a buy just printed at 300.88p

Fortunate to be in FCCN as well , fine update there this morning.

[m1das_touch] 14/4/2014 09:24

Morning philanderer...yes, it's pretty much guaranteed after that update. I think the price will re-rate between now and then in anticipation.

[philanderer] 14/4/2014 09:15

Mornng M_T, should be some good numbers on june 13th.

[m1das_touch] 14/4/2014 09:04

Nice to see the price ticking up today...it's a real slow burner this one! But once this news filters out and the story comes to the attention of more investors and fund managers I think we should see a steady re-rating. This is a first-class trading update, no wonder Beth Butterwick is 'delighted' - so am I!

I'd rather be in Bonmarche than Boohoo, that's for sure :)

[philanderer] 11/4/2014 08:58

Bonmarché, the fashion retailer that floated last November, says like-for-like sales in the 13 weeks to March 29 rose 16.3pc, partly due to a 72.8pc increase in online sales. This has put annual like-for-likes up 13.1pc, a performance chief executive Beth Butterwick says she is "delighted" with.

That`ll do for me :-)

[m1das_touch] 11/4/2014 07:17

Excellent trading update! 11.8% LFL sales growth year on year not to be sniffed at...but online LFL growth of 84.2% is what really impresses me.

Growth continuing in the current quarter and 2014 full year outcome already expected to be 'slightly ahead' of expectations...what's not to like about Bonmarche?!
