come on TED you have over 30 minutes to give a long overdue bounce.
A bounce will only come on good new or an over sold correction. Neither will come. There is no good news available, and the shares are still trading at a premium to their fair price of 56p. This company doesn't, currently, deserve a higher valuation than scrap value which is why it will reach that valuation.
where you got 56p scrap value from? local breakers yard?
over sold correction due. lets see 70 close..
Well I've just taken a 66p punt for 30,000 shares, hoping for a rebound one day!
Hopefully better than betting on the 4.10 at Windsor today.
Need to go back to work so I can stop looking at online trading
I value these at 50p for reasons already given. Scroll back.
if we close above 70p then 60s will be history.
come on TED army. BIG push now!! 66.75p paid.
67p paid better
67.95p go my son!!
only down 2% on the day. look at BOO down 18%!!
come on TED give us a massive Doji!!
68.2p paid wahooooooooo
67.4p paid on the bid. come on TED BIG push into the close!!
66.85p payed on the bid.
party poopers selling at 66.30p ffs
65.9p close, days low too
"party poopers selling at 66.30p ffs"
Seems you weren't able to cheer it over the line.
JAdam: where do you see the next leg down standing at (no pun intended)?
the rise was just getting going then a couple of minutes before close it drops from 68p. hope for better tomorrow.
the high street is dead, who shops on the high street when you have to pay for parking, even if parking is free at shopping centres the shop rent there is probably higher than the high street and that why intu gone into admin
Are people going to shop for nice clothes? Not when the number of events and outings is next to nothing. Retail sales will be in severe decline because shopper behaviour has changed and there a few opportunities to show off new threads.
It's a fair point actually Ocean, one has to look at TED through a macro lens and the typical demographic will certainly have had less of a need for nice new clothes in recent months, however I view that as changing as a TED customer myself who just had an order delivered the other day which I plan to wear out in the very near future for dinner/drinks. Dot thanks for the useless commentary on the high street, every single retailer with a shopping bust then are they? No. There will be winners and losers, people always gonna buy new clothes, question is whether they keep buying TED ones
"Question is whether they keep buying TED"
And that's what it comes down to ultimately.
For me the jury is still out.
It's down to demographics - scandal aside, BOO seems to have the target market right for the current climate - 16-25 yr old girls. This group buys whatever the weather - although they may be hit a little by any economic down turn - the demand will always be there.
That said, my wife is 30 and she hasn't stopped spending on clothes, shoes and bags, during the lockdown. She hasn't to my knowledge however bought anything from TED.
I hold out a slight hope for a spike, or buy out - prior to admin - but unless, TED radically shakes up its offering and strategy for said offering (which they claim they're doing) I can see the brand drifting off to obscurity.
Anyone remember Firetrap and Teddy Smith ...perhaps like me you do, but vaguely. These were two brands that IMO occupied the TED space previously - as did FCUK... perhaps here the lesson lies.
TED seems be offering a strange mid-level 'premium' brand; but as someone who tends to buy premium clothing - I go straight for BOSS, RL, Hilfiger, etc.. passing TED by for the most part.
I bought 1x TED T-shirt last year and a pair of TED shoes, whereas I bought several items from each of the aforementioned brands. So did my wife.
A quick peruse of the TED website wasn't particularly inspiring, but then perhaps I'm older than the target market.
