Boohoo Share Discussion Threads

Unless there's something positive released from BOO I can see share price at 1.70 quite quickly. The bears have the upper hand. I'll watch for signs of recovery.

[yopf] 05/12/2018 08:41

I won't get back in until I see the share price stop its freefall.

[christh] 05/12/2018 08:40

Still might be a recovery today.

A great Buying opportunity though before the results

Boohoo to be featured on BBC Watchdog

The fast-fashion retailer, Boohoo, broke Advertising Standards Authority rules with "misleading" promotions.

The BBC's investigative programme, Watchdog Live, recorded promotions on the company's website that did not end after the countdown clock reached zero.

Time-limited sales put pressure on consumers to buy quickly. Keeping the clock running means the time limit - and the pressure - were false.

I've closed my position until the fall out over the breach of advertising rules has cleared. Not what I wanted to read this morning`!

chris, US markets shut today, so no US led recovery

[christh] 05/12/2018 08:23

US have not cleared out the trading tarrifs with China and the markets got the jitters.



U.S. Markets dropped, as skepticism over chances of a breakthrough in the US-China trade talks weighed on industrial and technology companies

The US should recover today and our market will bounce.

Was this the reason for the drop ?

Yopf - ALL retailers, online or not, will fall if there is a market downturn and margins are squeezed. If people have less money to spend and BOO's sales growth slows, or margins are squeezed due to discounting to shift stock, then they will make less money. The reason why it fell from 270 to 150 was because margins fell.

Ashley isn't trying to cheat his way out of rents, he's rightly challenging the landlords to come to the table and negotiate a better deal. In the past landlords have held all the cards, now were approaching the end of the bull market and bricks and mortar retail is dying. Landlords need to enter into dialogue with the shop owners, otherwise both lose out.

"exploiting the far east people in shanty factories to make his fortune!"You mean like the Kamani's?Please don't think BOO are any different to Sports Direct. Both exploit workers around the world to produce clothes as cheaply as possibly to fuel the fast fashion boom. If you were that bothered about exploited workers you wouldn't have invested in BOO in the first place. Stick to ethical funds if that's your bag.

I always thought any company,irrespective of its product likes competition,it keeps us on our toes they say.Seems that is not their mantra now.

[yopf] 04/12/2018 08:52

I think retailers and politicians should start looking at online and high street as two separate issues. Online retailers are not responsible for the high street's demise, the internet is.

The dynamics have changed.

To say, as it's been muted here, that online will fall because the high street is in dire straights is ludicrous. The opposite is, in fact, true.

Online retailers will, quite rightly exploit weaknesses in traditional (failing) business models.

he can not decide taxation!
Is he not a pal of Philip Green?

He knows the score, he is trying to cheat on rents for his stores!
A crook trying to get his way in again.
Nothing to worry about!

He was infront of parliament yesterday.. so not small fish

[christh] 04/12/2018 08:07

who's he?
a crook who paid his employees below the living wage?
exploiting the far east people in shanty factories to make his fortune!

M&S, Burberry, Topshop, Boohoo, Missguided, Primark & Asos defend practices in parliament

"Meanwhile, Kane was asked how Boohoo could pay a living wage of £7.83 per hour while producing £5 dresses.

She hit back allegations that Boohoo was responsible for underpaid workers and promoting unsustainable and non-environmental consumer buying patterns.

She said the online retailer did “not make a profit on a £5 dress”, that they make up “a tiny, tiny amount” of their fashion range and are used as a marketing tool to drive visitors to the website.

The three online retailers also detailed their plans on how they use their social media reach to educate consumers on re-using and recycling clothes."

Lol 'research'

yopf
do not waste your time with time wasters!

Like you I have done my research and looking at the company, it has so much to
reward the shareholders.

For a start the company is growing very fast and expanding globally.
Sales are expected to grow about £900m this year (35%-40% from last report).
A new bespoken and proven ceo will be in place begining of March.
Many brokers tipped BOO to hit 300p this year!

Good luck!

How is that tosh? It's a given that if overall retail figures show a slow down or decline the overall retail industry will be impacted. If people have less money to spend, they'll buy fewer things and margins will get squeezed. Economics 101 mate. I'm not bearish or bullish about BOO. I'm neutral. I have a holding that I'm happy to keep for the long term. That doesn't mean I'm going to blindly ignore any potentially negative information just because it doesn't fit my opinion on a share. Why is that anyone who shares views even slightly different to you or your chum Christh get accused of being shorters? Sort yourself out mate, you're starting to sound silly.

[yopf] 03/12/2018 13:07

"what Telbap is saying is that the whole retail industry is going to be impacted by the general shift in retailing. As the traditional bricks and mortar retailers fail then this will temporarily bring down the entire sector."

What absolute tosh! Talk about peddling a one sided view (if I remember rightly you were recently cheering BOO as it got to 200p).

You're either short or looking for a lower entry, otherwise, why are you expended so much energy on this board?
