Thanks folks, worst part is what it does to ones children - one only 16. Then they get used and manipulated by the wife - sometimes it takes them a few years to work it out and only then does the penny drop and they come back to their dads.

Remember the following , if any of you get into this sort of mess, fortunately I have the T-Shirt so know the true rules.

Women belief they are owed the largest share possible and thus will fight with tactics that are not part of the honour system that men adhere to, which comes as a shock to the man which can make him more vulnerable.

Good Luck for 2020 all.

L2 looking really great today - had to miss the boat this time srp - still better days ahead.

Hi SrNot sure I follow your logic. Perhaps I have missed something. I am cautiously positive on Laura Ashley. I held stock many years ago in the late 90s and it was a disaster for me. However, the decline in price is, I believe, way overdone for a business that has @£250m of annual sales. Yes it is not making any profit, at least not last year, but if they can manage to eke out just a 5% net margin that would be £12m profit and a PE of 10 would be reasonable. This is unlike Debenhams and the like as it has no debt, therefore no debt financing eating into profits but more importantly no shark bankers driving prices and confidence down so as to pounce and steal the business.Of course we still need competent leadership who are both able to generate a turnaround in trading but also a common desire to have the share price higher for collective best outcome. Given the simple scenario I paint, a share price above 15p is entirely reasonable in 2020.

If I was the management and family I would sell Urban Outfitters
10% of their stock, so it would be a good sign to the city.
Then the share price would move seriously higher, rewarding the
management and family far more than if they did not sell part
of their holding.

These 2.46p trades are buys, lots of small buys today, fingers

along with the new London store in January.

"Laura Ashley's heritage prints and frills have been adopted by teens again - with 90s floral sweaters selling for £150 and a denim dresses for £100.

And if you've got one of their older puff-sleeved outfits you could make more than £100 from that too."

Commiserations clocktower, completely understand, With women fast becoming the richer , righteous, and higher status in society, unsurprising you are being traded for a younger looking model.

[garth] 28/12/2019 11:22

Sorry to hear that Clocktower - the last bit.

Well done CI.

[srpactive] 27/12/2019 16:49

Downtrend broken, chart looking exceptional, buying more
as soon as possible.

Trying to raise the bid to get stock, no stock out there, as I said any slightly positive news and this will need to be moved to 20p to tempt sellers.

Recovery stock of 2020 if news okay.

I have been buying here as mentioned a lot of times.

[knowing] 27/12/2019 16:20

Well seems there is very little stock about now SR

[srpactive] 27/12/2019 16:16

Any slightly positive news and aly is worth 20p per share.

Stuck in auction

[knowing] 27/12/2019 16:06

Limit's been cut right back after to 100K buy

[clocktower] 27/12/2019 11:37

Caution - 500k`s could just be rollovers. share price does funny things at around this time of year with volumes normally low.

That said L2 looks good.

srp, will not be trading next year, bar odd punt, time to hang my hat up and give up L2 unless I get board of doing sweet FA.

Tired of working to give my lifestyle and wealth, once again, to a women that wants a divorce because she wants a younger model.

[srpactive] 27/12/2019 11:26

Might be a good leak of Christmas sales.

[knowing] 27/12/2019 11:04

Very surprising that there is this type of volume after many months being very quiet.
