I wonder if Master RSI has gone, pumped and dumped.

Must admit, I am stunned - and encouraged - to hear that Hardman have been commissioned to do another note. If MPH are prepared to do this, it suggests to me that they have not given up on their independent shareholders.

I'll be fascinated to read what it has to say. The comments in 4118 (thanks deanroberthunt) are from

How will Hardman and the company reconcile H's July note with subsequent events?

So looks like Marchpole are a client of Hardman again. A note that basically says, although Marchpole know how to design clothes they haven't got a clue when it comes to running a business, isn't probably what Morris wanted to hear. Might do him a power of good to listen though.

MARCHPOLE
Chris Phillips, the chairman,has taken his role from being non-executive to executive. Shareholders should view this as reassuring. There is absolutely no doubt that Marchpole's executive management knows what it is doing in the fashion sense, but after the poor set of interim results three months ago there has been some uncertainty in the investment community and the shares have suffered badly. This concern was made all the more obvious after February's trading statement, which revealed that Marchpole will make a loss for the current financial year. Phillips, who comes from the world of business and property rather than the world of fashion, should help allay those fears.
We have a new research note on Marchpole that will be published imminently.

I have been waiting for Hardman to update their research note and it's good to learn it will be out "imminently". Can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

From the BBC.com

Sales up but at the expense of price reduction ( usual at sales).........

Price cuts lift UK retail sales

Big cuts in prices helped UK retail sales to rebound more than expected in January, official figures show, but underlying growth remained steady.
Sales grew by 0.8% last month, helped by big discounts in electrical goods, after a 0.2% fall in December.

Growth in the three months to January compared with the previous three months - seen as the best underlying trend figure - rose slightly to 0.6%.

Analysts said the figures meant an early cut in UK rates was unlikely.

"It now seems likely that interest rate cuts, although forthcoming over the next year, will be at a slower pace than had been initially expected," said John Ward from the Centre for Economics and Business Research.

"Our view is that a further slowdown in the UK economy is inevitable but that it will be more modest - but also more protracted - than many expect." Price pressures

The figures indicate that consumer spending has slowed down significantly in recent months.

While the ONS said that underlying sales volumes remained "steady", the 0.6% growth figure for the three months to January compares with a figure of 1.4% in September last year.

Sales during January were helped by heavy discounting in the electrical goods sector, where prices were down 14.9% on the same point a year earlier. Food sales were also lifted by the fact that Easter falls early this year.

"We strongly suspect that retail sales were lifted in January by increasingly pressurised and price-conscious shoppers being particularly keen to take advantage of genuine bargains in the sales," said Howard Archer, chief UK economist at Global Insight.

"Nevertheless, the marked pick-up in retail sales in January reinforces our belief that the Bank of England is unlikely to cut interest rates again until May."

The Bank of England has cut interest rates twice since December, to the current level of 5.25%, in an attempt to prevent an economic slowdown.

Even "an EYE Bulgarian" could see that, but not "momentos" that suppose to have three.

[gumberr] 21/2/2008 08:44

[gumberr] 21/2/2008 08:41

My feeling is that they will buy this out themselves as its far too undervalued now.
