No reason to buy or even hold.

Surprised the sainsburys argos bid hasn't had an impact?

[netcurtains] 30/12/2015 12:18

..so swapped out and bought Just Eat instead.
I will keep watching. Might well buy into them again.
Not sure why they dipped but they did.

[netcurtains] 30/12/2015 12:10

Yeah I think you might be right.

Netcurtains- have also noticed the decline in this as opposed to the rise in ASOS & BOO. The City spivs are generally in the know. Unfortunately for this, trading is neutral at best. For the latter two, there could be an 'exceeded' somewhere in the statements.

[netcurtains] 30/12/2015 11:27

I just don't get it why this one is going down but boohoo and asos are going up. It makes no logical sense.

I know its not nice to think this way however flooding does cause more people to stay at home and thus they are ALL more likely to shop online.

buying £70K worth of shares just before Christmas, hopefully that is a good sign from the CEO.

[netcurtains] 29/12/2015 20:51

internet sales growing year in year out as total percentage of sales

....so...

If you look at shares as gambles then I guess you could argue that internet sales companies give you better odds at winning then other companies.... I know that is a simple way of looking at it, but nevertheless, its still basically a reasonable assumption

I am in from 300p, but not sure if this is a long term investment unless I see further progress. We'll hold till the results and reassess then. GL

[netcurtains] 29/12/2015 12:08

From iii site:
"
As the clock ticks down to Christmas, company directors seem in a rush to spend big money stakebuilding. There's been a spate of share deals worth £40-£70,000 apiece in the past few days, including buying at Telford Homes (TEF), N Brown (BWNG), Imagination Technologies (IMG) and Laird (LRD).
"

[netcurtains] 29/12/2015 11:42

nearer £70K to be honest.

[netcurtains] 29/12/2015 11:41

Director (just before Christmas) bought a wad:

"
Angela Spindler, Chief Executive Officer, bought 23,782 shares in the company on the 22nd December 2015 at a price of 292.80p. The Director now holds 23,782 shares.
"

that is over £60K!!!!!

You know it makes sense.
Taking fashion up to LARGE SIZEs and taking it to the USA..

[netcurtains] 29/12/2015 10:32

Internationalisation for large women in the USA:
hxxp://www.simplybe.com/

Will be launching in 2016..

Ahead of the launch of our new international web platform in 2016, we are in cautious expansion mode in the USA – cementing our business model, growing brand awareness and focusing on efficiency. Our ambition globally is significant.

We run the USA business from our head office in the UK, ensuring that our offer is consistent across geographies and that we remain efficient. We have been live with a third party credit provider since the summer of 2014; this has been important in terms of building customer loyalty and replicating our successful UK model. We are very encouraged by the trends we are seeing in terms of repeat customer orders and brand awareness. We are just at the start of an exciting journey in the USA.

Looking to the future, our systems transformation project, which we call Fit 4 the Future, will enable mass internationalisation on one consistent web platform, opening up a huge raft of potential new geographies and markets to us.

ASOS, BOOHOO.COM

Both good - but you can get N BROWN GROUP quite cheap - specialises in LARGE SIZES (eg High and Mighty etc etc)..... You know the world is getting bigger.

N Brown - of course also has high fashion that competes head on with ASOS and BOOHOO.

Its a no brainer.

All Internet fashion is up - and N BROWN ....

You heard it hear first!

Should I keep this for the bounce, or am I just dreaming?
CEO might know more about it than I!

[lomax99] 22/12/2015 15:44

Glad I wasn't the only one buying sub £3! (A maiden purchase for the CEO)
