When is the estimated opening of the new EURO depot? Summer?

Never seen ASC flat-line like this before?

saturn5: the big advantage aim has over FTSE is that you can pass the share onto your kids without paying any death duties etc (which is a 50% advantage over FTSE if you want to pass stuff on).

If I sell now where can I put the cash for any gain ?

A T/O would give us some chance say at £50

Otherwise we are not going anywhere this year.

I hope that 29% holder does something with the i9nvestment

Wish I had bought Tesco instead, but then again the whole market is down today. Its recovering a bit, lets hope it finishes up

[saturn5] 14/1/2016 09:37

[netcurtains] 14/1/2016 09:24

Moorsie2: Do you have GCSE English? I said GROSS profit.

[moorsie2] 14/1/2016 09:08

and gross margin x volume does not = profit...

Accounting 101 :)

[netcurtains] 14/1/2016 08:52

...well I read it as a positive. 0.4% margin fall compared to 22% retail sales increase - just using BASIC MATHS equates to a massive rise in gross PROFIT!!

Haven't you even got a Maths GCSE?

[liquidkid] 14/1/2016 08:48

It is inconceivable that a continued falling gross margin could be read as a positive. Already know that xmas was ok, It is the new year sales that are questionable.
No man is an island but ol' Robertson is still sitting on his with nothing but a pile of shares.

Margin loss here is the big fear

sales growth nothing special compared to shared targets with the market

[keya5000] 14/1/2016 08:20

Lol... Wait for some actual broker coverage.

[netcurtains] 14/1/2016 08:19

Oi - traders - 40bps does not mean 40% it means 0.4% you dummies!!!
Good grief - idiots!

[netcurtains] 14/1/2016 08:08

Early market appears to dislike figures - I still think this will finish up on day. Figures seem good to me.

[leedskier] 14/1/2016 07:05

-- Retail sales up 22% (UK retail sales +25%, International retail sales +20%)
-- International retail sales 54% of total (55% last year)
-- Retail gross margin down c.40bps
-- 10.7 million active customers(4) at 31 December 2015 (+18% year on year)
-- Strong balance sheet and cash position

[keya5000] 14/1/2016 07:05

Outstanding.

[netcurtains] 14/1/2016 06:22

£5 / £6 / £7 seems on the face of it, reasonable mid to long term targets.
From this link it appears ASOS traffic rose strongly in dec/jan

Got some not looking for much but 5% would be nice for limited risk.

[little minx] 13/1/2016 14:30

No holding but update tomorrow

[netcurtains] 13/1/2016 14:21

netcurtains if your goth delinquent offspring could spell then they would know that DOC Martens is incorrect. Try doing a web search on Dr. Martens and ASOS is no where to be seen.

On the gross margin I wonder that the war on currency is going to look big in this.

[saturn5] 13/1/2016 13:48

I still want a t/o s that I can leave with a decent profit

Still no dividend not even a free tee shirt

[netcurtains] 12/1/2016 13:17

Thanks Tree. I'm well in profit in BOO. But still down in ASOS (ASOS fell further - but on the up side, perhaps the bounce back will be extra big)....
