Results look more or less the same as those that came out in October/November. Except the total turnover growth has slowed (mainly coz no. stores has grown a fair amount over that time). Glad I added more stock during the recent dip.

Terrific rise on the back of the excellent results - my investment at under 60p is looking better and better.

Lovely set of results just released....current trading appears to be absolutely booming....

"Current Trading

Trading in the 4 weeks up to 22 December 2001 was very good with like for like
sales up 11% and total sales up 16%.

Sales since Christmas, for the 3 weeks to 12 January 2002, have continued to
be very strong with like for like sales up 35% and total sales up 47%.

The strength of this performance has been helped by buoyant trading on the
High Street in general and by higher stock levels than last year reflecting
our increased confidence in our ranges.

We have maintained margin during the pre-Christmas and Sale periods and our
stock position is as expected. Our Spring merchandise is now in store and
sales are up on last year."

Full results are here....



Don't think you'll be able to snap 'em up at this price for much longer....

I'm hoping that because MSN doesn't rely on tourists, trade was unaffected. In fact, since less people were abroad over the xmas and new year period, that might have meant more people going out or venturing to parties/events... implying greater sales! The current share price indicates expectations are fairly low with little or flat growth.

According to moneyextra weekly diary, the interim figures are due on Monday 21 January. Looking forward to them if empirical evidence is anything to go by - my daughter was never out of the place (Monsoon/Accessorize) over Christmas.

I've jumped on board today ahead of results later this month which I expect to be good if recent press reports are to be believed. Price starting to move northwards again with spread now down to a penny!! Good buying opportunity IMHO!

Idiotera

You could be correct - I had previously sold half my holding at about 50% profit but I intent to keep the rest for the dividend and potential further share price rise. I may buy more if the price does fall sharply.

Going back to Next's results, they indicated that the recent excellent LFL sales increases were not sustainable and that they expected things to fall back quite a bit. The better the sales growth over Christmas the worse spring and beyond is going to look. And what happens next Christams...?

T.i.m, I got out because MSN had actually gone above the target I set when I bought about a year ago. I bought @ 64 and planned on selling if it reached 96 within 1 year. I consider 50% per annum to be an outstanding rate of return. Furthermore, if I'm not wrong this was new high for MSN and to expect much more would be considerably increasing my risk exposure. Actually I have moved out of the entire clothing retail sector, it had a great year but I'm not sure if it's sustainable. Take Next's example, (where I've been a holder since 700), a great interim and 2 brokerage target upgrades and still the price drops over 7%. This is all about market sector sentiments.

Tomorrow will be important for the price. Will the nervous bail out with a small profit or will we see the price go above £1-00 in the next week or two?

Didn't you notice that as soon as the 323,000 sell order was completed, the bid price increased... the MM want more stock after shocking the jittery to panic sell and they think no more sells will come unless they raise the bid.

I'm tempted to buy if they hit a mid-price of 88p again (ie offer price of 90p).. come on give me another short term drop!

I was hoping to sll on strength (@97p) and buy back at weakness (ie now), but will have to wait for the surge above £1. As the post xmas statement approaches, I can see this stock climbing further. If rates are held by Ed, then I can see all retail stocks surging ahead.

300,000 T trade sell was the cause of the drop.

Will the price retreat on more profit taking or, now that the 300,000 profit taking is out of the way, power on above 100p? I am not selling at this price anyway.

well done rdj20, unfortunately for me, my darn broker prevented me from selling at 97p as they are in the process of transferring holdings from my previous broker and it has taken 1.5 months so far!!!

Just checked the volumes, there aren't many sellers... infact I've seen buying volumes way above these sell volumes/rates way higher than this and the price didn't even budge. Maybe the MMs are simply low on stock and can afford to drop'em? and then pick up on the panic sellers before upping them again? There are a few X trades and the price has since stabilised... hmm

Basically the selloff today is caused IMO by a combination of two factors:-

1) General selloff in retail stocks after good run, esp. with results out (people buying on rumour and selling on fact).

2) Concerns regarding Eddie George's comments that interest rates might have to rise because of consumer boom

I think this dip is personally a great buying opportunity, I took profits ahead of Next results yesterday and have now bought back in this morning.

Cheers,

CWA1,

Looks like all retail stocks are down but I don't know why!-
NEW down 5%
WLW down 5%
OKR down 8%
EBQ down 4% despite excellent xmas trading statement issued today.

The above are stocks I hold so am assuming other retail stocks are also down. Probably not knowing my luck!!

Any thoughts as to why today's drop?
Looks like a chance to top up pre results on 21/1/02,unless there is any seriously bad news doing the rounds we don't know about(which I doubt).

I have reservations about what is the best way to make money. Everyone has different targets, different attitudes to risk and ways of operating, what works for you may not work for someone else. If Idioterna is happy with the returns and wants to sell, then sell it is... imagine if someone tries to implement your recommended style and loses out on a large sum of money... you'll feel guilty wouldn't you? I've shown someone else my trading style in the past, although I make money doing what I do, a friend tried to do the same thing (trading same stocks and etc) but didn't implement them to the exact detail and so lost out on money (he had different tolerence levels to risk and was overly optimistic). That's why it might not be such a good idea recommending ways to trade to other people.

The other option is to buy back on a bad trading day, at a lower price and sell again when margins are met (assuming that the bid-offer is not too wide).

Idioterna

Selling a share when the price is going up is not the way to make money - you wait until you are sure it has peaked and then sell or if you have a large holding you sell half when you think it has peaked and the rest when you are sure.
