Fingers crossed guys. No big volume selling showing for PLND showing today yet anyway. We`ve got this PLND/IGD trade briefing for the 24th , may help.

I`ve doubled up my ftse short for a bit more portfolio protection just in case..

[clocktower] 02/2/2016 09:35

I think we will move back up here today phil - from 140.5 - 141

[philo124] 02/2/2016 09:28

More of the same in a weak market. Things will be a little different a few days after February the 8th.

False dawn ... next leg down for FTSE100 , back below 6000 again ?

Morning everyone.

1st feb Deutsche hold tp 200p

reiterates

[philanderer] 01/2/2016 15:51

ct, fortunately I`m short the ftse100 and short BRBY which is saving the portfolio to a large extent.

Whisper it quietly but I wonder if our seller here is nearly done ?

PLND said sales for the 13 weeks to December 27 grew 29% year-on-year, excluding operations in Spain, to £425m. But two-thirds of the growth came from its acquisition of rival 99p Stores,due to finish by April.
£+Profit

Yes they have been good if short this year phil but those that are could get badly bitten at any point in many stocks. Trouble with Dry January - it seems to have continued into Feb as well - time to start drinking again maybe and putting a little more back into the market.

[philanderer] 01/2/2016 13:36

How bad are these markets this year ? :-S

[philanderer] 01/2/2016 11:05

Morning ct, still a large seller about with the shorters riding shotgun I reckon.

[clocktower] 01/2/2016 09:57

A poor start to the week but suffering with the general market I guess.

[philanderer] 29/1/2016 17:28

Just under 3 million shares traded today . Big churn in these going on.

[philanderer] 29/1/2016 15:15

Wow !! there`s a big trade..

1 million @ 141.9p

[clocktower] 29/1/2016 14:51

A lot of those divs will now go back into Poundland Shares, so holding for a bigger spike phil.

[philanderer] 29/1/2016 14:42

Nice dividend received today .... my buy at 140.9p not showing !

[philanderer] 29/1/2016 13:47

True enough ct :-)

[clocktower] 29/1/2016 13:13

Taking a couple of pence each time on the upside is also paying its way by being long phil.

[golf driver] 29/1/2016 11:17

I agree lads . Recession proof .

Let the market have it`s fun . There`s no volume here ( not sure why) so any trade tends to move it within the 140-150p range .

Not worth commenting on .

[clocktower] 29/1/2016 11:16

They do both phil they have become a destination store although many would disagree. Even families with larger incomes - pop in to buy so many things (for the kids) because while there they just happen to pick up another batch of items - of course normally they would not admit to setting foot in the place. Snobs & Liars but its ok for the other kids they invite etc etc.

They will be picking up this stock soon enough as well.

[philanderer] 29/1/2016 11:10

I think it depends if you take the view that Poundland shoppers make a special journey to shop there or if they just pop in while out shopping elsewhere maybe ?

Seemed to be the busiest shop in uxbridge earlier this week while others like M&S and Next were empty

[clocktower] 29/1/2016 11:05

Hi phil,

Mild weather - one way or another the press like to talk about the weather, bad weather for selling car batteries is mild weather - or gardeners joy for the garden centres - what weather is best for pound shops - any weather bar prolonged snow as everything and everything that you might need a few of be it for your kids party or spring cleaning tools - no matter what it is sold by Poundland.

[philanderer] 29/1/2016 09:45

Morning all , this poor fella is so out of favour..

Mines a £+ well worth the price.

Nice 1

[philanderer] 28/1/2016 14:40

Good point ct .

Still a right old 2 way pull on these at the moment.
