[matt123d] 07/7/2015 16:43

146p is still the level to break.

[discodave4] 07/7/2015 15:08

Brando - read previous posts please.ThanksDD

[brando69] 07/7/2015 15:07

what do you think Dave?

[discodave4] 07/7/2015 15:04

Was the 150k a buy?, thanks.

[sportbilly1976] 07/7/2015 15:00

150k and 182k trades gone through and the share price moves...seller cleared imo :)

New store format very impressive-went to one in London area. Used to be a beauty salon. Guess people are beautifying their homes first. As a more serious point I think many are now inclined to upgrade their homes rather than move house to avoid stamp duty. Builder in sarf London told me yesterday he was booked up for the next year on decent jobs -mainly extensions.Alot of these are to get a bigger kitchen space which obviously is likely to use tiles.

at the risk of being called an 'amateur'... breakout confirmed. spread narrowed... i would hazard that a little overhang has cleared

shootin up

[discodave4] 06/7/2015 14:03

OnJohnny - "breakout confirmed", really, complete amateur!.Matt - spot on.GLDD

Agreed, it is quite a record and even today, having come through an existential crisis from 2008 through 2011, the shares still trade at circa 15 times the float price and continue to pay dividends.
I appreciate share selection is all about the future , in this respect the current management team is performing very well by growing the business and widening the customer base.
I am a long term holder.

Sportbilly , as FHC2 points out ,the splits confuse the graph and it does include the dividends. I quote Tempus

No cracks in Topps Tiles but DIY is best avoided

Nick Hasell: Tempus

Long-term shareholders in Topps Tiles need no reminding of the specialist retailer’s formidable track record.

The sum of £1,000 invested in the shares at flotation ten years ago would have been worth £28,220 on September 30, the close of Topps’s financial year. Over that period, earnings per share have grown more than 800 per cent, while the company has returned more than £200 million – or the equivalent of two thirds of yesterday’s stock market valuation – to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.

ready to blast off

[dlku] 03/7/2015 14:49

nice maybe 4 bagger time agan

[bigbigdave] 03/7/2015 14:47

I bought in March 2009 and sold a few months later for around a 4 bagger, but 4/5/6 baggers were the order of the day that year!

[dlku] 03/7/2015 14:44

New high

Highly satisfying

[fhc2] 03/7/2015 14:44

They floated at £1.00 but after splits that is equivalent to 10p.
I think the peak was over £3.00 (on the basis of a 10p float price)
And don't forget the buybacks and the dividends.
Certainly beats Halifax which floated on the same day back in 1997 !

[sportbilly1976] 03/7/2015 14:26

wad,

28?? Unless they floated at ~12p but opened at 20p on their first day



edit - not a bad 300% return in ~18 months in 2003-4 though

[wad collector] 03/7/2015 14:13

To put recent rises in a historical perspective ; anyone who bought in at 22p in late 2011 and still holding must be feeling rather pleased with themselves , but not as pleased as anyone who bought at flotation and sold ten years ago as a 28 bagger!

[sportbilly1976] 03/7/2015 11:45

here we go matt....new recent highs to be reached, 150 not out of the question imo

[onjohn] 03/7/2015 08:54

looks kissy 150p time

[discodave4] 03/7/2015 08:48

Thanks Matt.

[brando69] 03/7/2015 07:11

ah , all clear now: you were talking squiggly lines in the sand/TA bunkum.

thanks

[matt123d] 03/7/2015 07:09

It ticked 147p so no longer an inside month but it can't be classed as a breakout until it takes out the prior month's high. Below 144p makes it red on the month. Below 141p will give a weekly shooter. In simple terms it needs to regain 146p now as there is a failed breakout possibility.

[discodave4] 02/7/2015 20:47

Oops fat fingers + wrong board.Long day!.DD
