Perhaps it's a shag you want rather than an investment? :-)

Take a look at past trading statements bobby.ifa

In Sep they went straignt up 40% over 3 days then added another 15% in the following month.

Up 18% today looks the start imo, lets see what the broker notes and press coverage does.

I'm sure these will drop tomorrow, too much of a gain in on one day for a stock like this. Retrace, then buy back in.
Perhaps.

Agree spaceparallax - a nice rise on a very crumby day too.

I think there's a lot more in these imo.

Could be the beginning of a healthy recovery.

[bobby.ifa] 20/1/2011 16:06

Another 12p & I'll be where I bought in 12 years ago. Can't complain about the Divi's though.

[spaceparallax] 20/1/2011 15:35

given that superb TS, I couldn't resist grabbing a small opening investment of 10K@22.7p. It'll be interesting to see just how much the PBT exceeds expectations - it's certainly unusual to see a company trumpet things so efffusively.

philjeans - yep, I was in from 12p to 17p rally but took my eye off the chart or I'd have been back in before today.

These will get good press tomorrow imo. Materially ahead means 20%+ ahead in my experience. If they are 20% ahead that's 1.7p eps at least and would probably have been 1.8p without the snow.

So they have earnings doubling year on year and next years forecasts likely to rise substantially imo. It makes that big divi look all the more covered and likely to rise imo.

Too do all this when retail is having a tough time is rather excellent imo.

ISA-able too - which is nice :-)

All imo.

Boys oh boys,
I've been in here for 7-8 years, sold the lot, just a few weeks ago! Made a small profit. happy at the time.

However, Big, i mean BIG MISTAKE, i was in with 350k shares at 15p.

YEP, BIG MISTAKE!!!!

Tell Laura I love her !
It is very difficult to forecast what the next results will show, but I expect them to at least justify the present share price of 24p.

[cockneyrebel] 20/1/2011 09:07

Yes Chester - punters having a lie in today I think - half asleep :-)

"Materially" Ahead - that's no little beat - and they did that in the face of snow while other retailers have been whinging about it.

Joined you CR. 20p historical support/resistance is now support.

[cockneyrebel] 20/1/2011 08:28

A 5% divi here too.

Chart has also just broken out.

[brownie69] 20/1/2011 08:18

BTW not looking to sell at 25p, I just think it will be acheived.

For me they are on a roll better designs getting market traction. A structural hold to outperform the market and a market topping yield to boot!

[cockneyrebel] 20/1/2011 08:13

Materially ahead - with all that snow too - next year should be a cracker imo and next xmas monster if there's no snow.

CR

[brownie69] 20/1/2011 08:02

Cracking trading update. Should kick on from here. My short term target 25p

[philmac56] 17/1/2011 17:25

Been like this for years, hard to follow, MM's controlling!!!!!!!!!!!

[kenknott] 17/1/2011 17:10

Anyone know what's going on? Mostly sells in recent weeks but the share price keeps going up. Can anyone explain this? Thanks.

[brownie69] 17/1/2011 16:56

I remain a happy holder and its good to see the bid holding up at 19p

[philmac56] 04/1/2011 16:50

Bailed out totally today.

Now i can only hope for a fall to, possibly jump back in!

See what VAT, etc bring to the table!!!!!

[philmac56] 17/12/2010 07:37

check these out!!

All good news, i got out to early with my bulk of shares, prob miss the boat

I like this part of the statement in particular:

In the same reporting period, the E-Commerce channel recorded growth of 28.7% as we continue to enhance and improve our online presence.

Despite the current economic uncertainty and adverse weather conditions in the UK, we remain confident that full year trading will be ahead of the Board's expectations.

[philmac56] 16/12/2010 08:51
