Maybe this is the reason for the demand for ls furniture.


House builder.

I noticed something very interesting last night on
the laura ashley website.
When we have bought furniture from before, we have
had to wait 9 weeks before it is delivered.

Last night when buying LA furniture, the delivery date
has been extended to 11 weeks.

I read that as being very positive indeed, la furniture
must be very busy.

This looks like someone transferring shares into their SIPP or something where they have to sell and re-buy rather than a new purchase. It looks like there's a 10m sale and 9.1m buy.

[srpactive] 08/1/2013 19:20

It looks like someone else is also.

19m volume ( 2.6% )second biggest day in 12 mths.

Last time it was near that amount we moved higher
by 30% in the coming days and weeks.

Fingers crossed.

Incredible volume today, 10m so far, the last
time we had volume like that the share price moved
from 21p to 29p, get ready the instis have got wind
of something based on the volume.
The TS last yr was the 20 January 2012, maybe this yr
it will be Friday if the figures are good.

Hold onto your hats.

Yes it will be very interesting oif we break 29.5p
and 30.5p as no resistance then until 38p.
Lets hope for a decent TS very soon that will deliver
a rerating to nearer 40p.
Last yr we had one on the 20.1.12, so anytime now then.

Looks promising for quality retailers like aly.

Boxing Day sales set records online and in store
Millions of bargain hunters drove record sales this Christmas with John Lewis seeing its busiest ever hour online and Selfridges taking a record £1.5 million within 60 minutes of opening its doors.

yep, firmed a bit the past two days.

Been hoping to see some really large trades go through to show the seller clearling, sadly nowt yet.

New 2 month high, nice steady continuation
upto 30p by weekend hopefully, then news
of Christmas trading will send us through to
38p in time.

Laura Ashley has cemented its status as one of the high street's best performers with a leap in sales ahead of the crucial Christmas period.

The retailer, which has 211 UK stores, has delivered strong sales in its second half in home-improvement categories, such as bed linen, curtains, lighting and cushions, which have outstripped broadly flat fashion revenues.

Laura Ashley, which has more than 250 franchised stores overseas, grew its total sales by 4.2 per cent over the 19 weeks to 8 December. This was ahead of City forecasts, while its sales rose 4.9 per cent on a like-for-like basis.

The group also revealed that online sales jumped by 22.6 per cent following the launch of a full mobile site as well as an increase in its deliveries overseas.

Interesting price reaction to ts. Will it go lower again?

[cockneyrebel] 14/12/2012 13:24

Got to be a big seller about imo.

Solid announcement so dividend protected, so
massive yield whilst I continue to buy.
I hold these for income so the longer they
stay here the better, for further investment,
anything upto 40p is a decent yield.

Well I thought these are that cheap they might warn but no.

Sales growth excellent, marginal reduction in margins.

Let's see :-)

Last year we had an Interim Management Statement on the 16th December 2011, do we have any confirmation of this years date?

Thanks for the info good to hear that a nice rise is anticipated. The ts is due possibly on Monday, just a couple of p increase would be most welcome.

I think all mcpaulas is stating is when the ts comes
out hopefully on Monday the share will be in the 30's
rather than the 20's. I have increased a little more
based on good retailer recent numbers.

[mcpaulas] 11/12/2012 08:11

14 day rsi above mid,stochastic above mid,macd staying in mid range,rising triangle forming nicely,simple moving average lines about to cross,all looks pretty good for a decent rise from here on.
