Oh dear... is this a head and shoulders pattern now? Could we get back in to the mid £30's with the falling lows? I'd appreciate any Chartists comments

Short-sellers bet £1 Billion on high street decline as they target M&S, Next and Debenhams

Shorts have created a bear market supermarket sweep.

The Short and Distort: Stock Manipulation in a Bear Market.




The Net Effect

When the short and distort maneuver succeeds, investors who initially bought stock at higher prices sell at low prices because of their mistaken belief that the stock is worthless, caused by an effective distortion campaign. At the same time, the S&Ds cover at low prices and lock in their gains.

Right after prominent bankruptcies such as Enron in 2001 or Nortel in 2009, investors could be more susceptible to this type of manipulation than during prosperous periods such as the 1990s in the U.S. During downturns, the first appearance of impropriety could cause investors to run for the hills much easier. As a result, many innocent, legitimate and growing companies could get burned, and investors along with them. (To learn about how you can profit when everyone else is heading for cover, read Profit From Panic Selling.)


How to Identify and Prevent S&D
1.Do not believe everything you read - verify the facts.
2.Do your own due diligence and discuss it with your broker.
3.Hypothecate your stock - take it out of its street name to prevent the short sellers from borrowing and selling it. (Learn more about doing your own due diligence in our related article, Due Diligence In 10 Easy Steps)

The best way to protect yourself is to do your own research. Many stocks with great potential are ignored by Wall Street. By doing your own homework you should feel much more secure in your decisions. And, even if the S&Ds attack your stock, you will be better able to detect their distortions and be less likely to fall prey to them by selling the stock at a loss.

Needs a spell of cold weather.

Will get a brief one this weekend.

Almost at the 200 MA if it doesn't bounce there it will (I think) go lower.

[kendonagasaki] 13/11/2017 21:37

All in my honest opinion of course?

Wholefoods is not a competitor very small in the UK and I found its own products tasteless.

Please do your own research.

[bookbroker] 07/11/2017 08:35

That’ is because the idea of Whole Foods is to take out the competition by removing a competitor from the top end of the market, and to focus Whole Foods on home delivery, they do not need retail outlets, they are a show piece, but the company is known enough for where it is in the market place, they will most likely all close sooner rather than later, it is not Amazon’s place to be selling out of bricks and mortar on the high street, they may keep London as it acts as a distribution centre for the inner city!

[qantas] 07/11/2017 08:29

Amazon is shutting two Whole Foods shops in the UK just two months after completing its £10.7bn takeover of the upmarket grocery chain. The company is closing down its stores in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and Giffnock, East Renfrewshire meaning that there will be just seven UK shops remaining, all of which are in London. - Telegraph

chart looks like an island reversal

downside is not finished yet

Talk of clearance rates being down on expectations seem a bit casual. Does the statement disclose the volume or value of clothing currently being held in storage pending being cleared through?

NEXT (NXT) closed at 4551 pence after posting a loss of 7.52 percent. We must go back to Jan 4 to find an equally steep drop. That time the stock lost 14.36 percent. The stock has thereby closed down 15 out of the past 21 days. The volume was also high. At session end it was bought and sold shares for about 15225 million pence in the stock, which equals five times mean daily turnover. Technically, however, it looks good. The stock is trend wise positive in the medium term, is approaching the support at 4470 pence and a further increase is indicated.

Spot, I agree with you that I would personally prefer to try things on before buying, however my daughters who're 17 and 20 have grown up buying clothes over the internet and the ease with which you can order and return items makes this the easy option for them. Just look at the likes of Boo Hoo and you can see how big online shopping is.I think Next needs to refocus, every time I either walk past or enter a Next clothing outlet there never seems to be that many customers. The reason is I think that the teens/ twenties wouldn't be seen dead in there as the styling is deemed middle aged. The company needs to revisit it's image in order to attempt to stay current.However on saying that, their home wares business seems to be better placed offering modern styling at reasonable prices.This is just my perception of the company.Today's move does seem a bit extreme though as even though there was a note of caution in the statement, a 7% drop from the off seems a bit excessive in my opinion.

[fuji99] 01/11/2017 09:24

Online shopping is killing the high street due to many factors: Access,parking, fines, petrol and particularly safety risks due to recent attacks on crowded places.

[blusteradjuster] 01/11/2017 08:58

Current trends suggest ongoing directory revenues will exceed retail revenues by year end.

This isn’t a bad thing (?) given that, at the half-year, retail operating margins were 9% but directory operating margins were 25%.


As Craig suggests above, they should make more of their internet sales - maybe split the company into two.

The “Next.com̶1; shares should command the lofty ratings of the likes of boohoo and asos.

CEO was cautious about 4th quarter and about reading too much into the improved performance of 3rd quarter ... he tends to underpromise, so perhaps the December update will be better than he is indicating?

[technofiend] 01/11/2017 08:34

Am I correct in thinking that trading statement was an improvement on last August?
