looks to be breaking out again this pm,new highs on the way!

[peter001] 14/1/2005 20:43

good thinking mike

I think this one will be up to 1.40 soon .

No news is good news ? I don't mind talking to myself !
Interesting that the share price is creeping up this week. As there has been a directive to the retail sector that they must disclose bad trading news asap l can only assume that no early statement from Moss means the news is going to be good. Elementary my dear Watson.

[mikepompeyfan] 05/1/2005 22:24

Share price down slightly today , no doubt due to Next's trading statement and general gloom in the sector. Fingers crossed Moss can escape the trend. The Sunday Times a week ago had Moss down as being capable of doing just that. I see last year's trading statement was 6th Feb. Probably be around the same time this year.

alfwilson so what is the latest the price is holding well is a bid on the way
you say you know a lot more then lets hear it.

[peter001] 18/12/2004 11:15

alfwilson can you post the timesonline story on this bb please.

Many thanks

Same story as 'rumour of the day' in 'timesonline'. The price looks about right as a sighting shot ... my target for MOSB is 147p.

I am not sure how much of this good news I can take (ok ... I do know ... a lot more).

Thanks Tinker for that.

From the Daily Mail and Express apparently:

"Moss Bros (LSE: MOSB.L - news) is under the bid spotlight again after paper speculation that Karen Millen founder Kevin Stanford had been approached to sell his stake."

Price alleged to be 150p. Could be interesting.

I spent my working life ... making things happen by brute force ... in my retirement I have learnt there is a better way.

LOL

PS
In any case it was all true.

[doubleorquits] 10/12/2004 15:53

Flattery Alf - but thanks anyway. However, this one does not appear to want to budge at the moment unlike a few others including DTG. RTD flying today!

[alfwilson] 10/12/2004 13:11

I give credit to DOQ for his original prompt about about price reactions related to promotions. 'Bargin' ... my gains have been more spectacular on DTG ... but listen to DOQ he has had even more successes over a longer period(he unlike me is really worth listening to).

[bargain] 09/12/2004 17:09

Having said that, 2 x 100,000 buys today ...

[doubleorquits] 09/12/2004 14:25

Hi Alf ;0)

[bargain] 09/12/2004 12:12

alf and john thanks. Could well be possible explanation, had missed that but the trade volumes (on ADVFN) tend to indicate smaller buyers to date. Perhaps also they may be expected to have a better Xmas than some of the others on the High St.?

Whatever, a penny a day keeps the losses at bay ...

Your post #100

MOSB is being promoted from FTSE Fledging to Small Cap index on 20 Dec ... it was announced on the 8 Dec. This will mean Tracker Funds will need to reflect this change ...they will need to buy some shares before then? I offer this info as a possible answer to your question.

LOL
