bobb49,

I reckon, short term, the cup formation will continue to build with higher lows. News about the 'Next' trials may have a significant affect on the share price medium term. If positive, as we all hope, this could trigger a rise leading to an initial price target of 500.

As to the position building, it is a very positive sign that both Fidelity and Artemis are increasing their stakes. There is still much upside to the IDS share price, in my opinion, and it is encouraging that two leading and respected investment companies share that view.

Anyone got any thoughts as to where the position building is leading ?

What happens to this company if they get kicked off Freeview when their contract ends (2008 from memory). Presumably they would be just left with Sky and 50% of revenues (and profits)??

[radarlove] 21/4/2006 17:27

Fidelity and Artemis now hold around 22% of the company's shares!

[poacher45] 12/4/2006 14:59

Institutional holdings just gone up again

powwow,

The market is all about making money, so your decisions are sound.

This latest news about IDS has great potential. The next step is to find out when the 'Next' trials are being aired and then ask every family member, relative and friend to buy a piece of clothing! I have also been ruminating over the chart.

'chart-wise - looks like a cup formation in the making.'

If the artful dodger is correct about his technical analysis here is the low-down.

Cup-with-Handle: (from MarketStockWatch.com)

'Look for relatively quiet volume as the stock builds the left side of the cup. Volume at the base of the cup should be slightly higher than the left side as support is coming into the stock. The right side of the base should have above average volume with more up-days than down days. The handle will be the last part of the formation and should slope slightly downward with lower volume than the right side of the base. Our pivot point will be slightly higher than the highest point of the right side of the base. All breakouts should occur on volume 100% greater than average daily volume.'

How it might play out:

Taking the above theory, we should see a steady rise of the IDS share price upto and around 395/400 where the cup formation is completed. Then a drop down to just above 370 for the handle to form. Followed by a breakout up through 400 and onward towards 500. As to the time period, who knows? Some good news about the outcome of the 'Next' trials should help.

We can but hope!

radarlove , np. Just to clarify I have held IDS since the heady days of the float at £2.00 per share only to average down at 50p when it fell to 30p after the fire incident. I still believe in the company and expect the share price to double if not more over the coming years, I just decided as with many other stocks, to sell for the time being make some money somewhere else and come back at a later date, which is fine and in no way means I dont believe in this company.

Like I said, long term share price I believe £9.00+, short term £5.50 min within the next two months.

Interesting that directors and institutions hold over 60%. Must be some good news coming. With the results announcements under development. I quote an interactive general merchandise catologue. In addition we are in discussion with a number of well known high street brands who are interested in having some presence on our TV shopping channels.
I have also heard rumours of programs being broadcast from Ideal Shopping to countries that do not have shopping channels yet.

[powwow] 06/4/2006 08:54

radar, I agree with the institutions buying in, i said all along this was worth at least £5.50 if not more as the years go on and would not be surprised if it was gobbled up by a larger competitor.

I still think by 2009 these will be £8.50, but thats double or nearly treble todays levels. I decided to sell them only to put them into hml at 1.15p so at the moment sitting on a nice profit, which would have taken years for ids as its a good stable stock.

You make these choices and I thought use this money for the time being in something more volitile. I mean I may even have time to make my profit in hml eh, 5 times, and then buy back into ids at the same price anyway. eitherway thers nothing wrong with what i've done, its all about utilising your money and making the most of it.

They should go back to £4.50 min in the short term now the shares have been taken up going to £5.50.

[radarlove] 05/4/2006 17:21

Wow! Institutions and Fund management companies are queuing up to buy IDS shares.

The two leading shareholders, Artemis and Fidelity, have both added to their holdings. Artemis by a further 745,000 (from 2,900,598 to 3,645,598) and Fidelity another 500,000. Artemis has taken over from Fidelity as the largest shareholder, now owning 12.41% of IDS. The third largest holder is Aberdeen Emerging Companies Unit Trust.

All looking rather rosey for a share price hike as these buys coincide with good-looking technicals. 400p here we come. Patience is soon to be rewarded.

This latest 'notification of interest' news is a rather neat and tidy conclusion to recent events. The shares sold by former IDS co-founder, Paul Wright, have simply been taken up by Artemis and Fidelity. Now this situation has been resolved, hopefully, there is nothing left to suppress the share price.

powwow,

I suggest you buy back in again and forget about that highly speculative 'pump and dump' share HML.

[radarlove] 05/4/2006 08:37

poacher45,

One presumes they would be selling 'Next' clothes. As to these other High Street stores one can only speculate. And I agree, if these ventures come off, IDS will greatly benefit along with the share price.

Where did you gain the info about '...other High Street stores?'

[poacher45] 04/4/2006 19:04

Next are in conjunction with Ideal Shopping going to televise programs advertising Next clothes. Whether they are going to sell them at the same time I dont know but also Ideal Shopping are close to doing deals with other high street stores. This is going to be a mew venture.

[radarlove] 04/4/2006 10:09

The BAD news is, the big seller keeps dumping. The GOOD news is Fidelity are mopping the shares up. Pheww!

Poacher,

Your post is rather misleading.

Are you saying that 'Next' will be selling their clothes via Ideal Shopping? And who are these other High Street Chains?

[poacher45] 03/4/2006 13:08

News on Next sight that they are going to start a trial series of programs with Ideal Shopping along with other High Street chains.

[radarlove] 03/4/2006 13:03

powwow,

Oh dear, fatal move. You lose patience and sell and sod's law states the share price will rise up to £4 by the end of this week. :)

I looked at HML. In my view, a highly speculative 'pump and dump' share. Good luck though.

[powwow] 31/3/2006 12:09

sold out of these simply because I got fed up waiting but also because I dont think these will double from here, so thought better put them into something that will double, like HML.

[radarlove] 23/3/2006 16:42

Artful dodger,

A cup formation? Does that mean a saucy future? :)

Good ol' journalist John Marshall from 'Shares Magazine', who personally holds both Ideal Shopping and ASOS shares, has given both companies a nepotistic boost in this week's issue.

With IDS he writes, 'Richard Brent, analyst at KBC Peel Hunt, emphasises that retailers with newer routes to market, such as online specialists like Ideal Shopping, are still trading well. He has a target price of 500p. Well above the current 338p.'

[artful dodger] 23/3/2006 15:24

seller probably has a tom of shares and is taking some of the table with willing buyers out there
otherwise share price would be tanking

safe hold for me, but would be lovely to test £4 again

chart-wise - looks like a cup formation in the making

[radarlove] 22/3/2006 14:12

Any ideas whether the two share tranches of 250k and 242k, timed at 11.49am this morning were a buy or a sell? The ADVFN monitor has it as ?%.

I am wondering whether the 'mystery seller' is back.

It is the same pattern of two separate big-sized tranches within seconds of each other. And yet again the ADVFN monitor gives no clue.

[radarlove] 16/3/2006 14:04

Just because they are the house broker, T&G don't have to be taken seriously. My view is there forecasts are far too conservative.

Yes, the company's meteoric growth will slow but with the government ruling that all households must eventually go digital, online shopping can only continue to grow in the short to medium term and IDS will benefit.

My medium term target of 500 remains.

[diogenesj] 16/3/2006 13:46

Thanks for that, radar. T&G's forecasts seem to be somewhat below the prevailing consensus, but have to be taken seriously as they are the house brokers. Still decent value, but not quite as cheap as I thought.
