Shares of French Connection are back in the frame this week as a takeover situation develops. It is surprising that we have not seen the retailer as a red-hot contender on a regular basis. French Connection (FCCN): Bear Squeeze Should Lead To 50p Plus The High Street has been and continues to be a battlefield…
One of the big omissions in terms of the post-Referendum rally for the FTSE 100 has been the relative lack of decent M&A activity or even speculation to provide momentum. At least the latest regarding luxury goods group Burberry provides some cheer. One of the many people I interview on a weekly basis is the…
Jubilee Platinum has been a private investor favourite for longer than most might have anticipated. However, it looks as though the waiting game may finally be over. It may not be too much of a revelation that for a mining company to actually extract something out of the ground can very often be something of…
It would appear that everyone is looking for the next Fevertree (LON:FEVR) or Patisserie Valerie (LON:CAKE). It may be that premium chocolate is actually the way forward in this respect. I have covered shares of Hotel Chocolat here before, and noted the way that the founders decided to cash in soon after the IPO –…
One might have thought that the irritation of listening to noisy snacks being consumed, sitting behind people with big heads, or just being coughed/sneezed on would all diminish the attractions of Cineworld.

Fashion retailer Supergroup (LON:SGP) could very well become one of the trendy proxies for those looking to short stocks harmed by the weakness of the Pound. Although shares of Superdry fashion brand owner Supergroup managed to double from below 800p in 2014, for this year we have seen headwinds on both the fundamentals and the…
Having been a great fan of Pantheon Resources (PANR) the worst thing is to see the price action struggle over recent sessions. But below 100p is a concern. I have to admit the big breakdown was something which took me by surprise, especially as it did not seem that the September 5th operational update from VOBM#2 was…
Domino’s Pizza (DOM) has clearly been a massive success on both a fundamental and technical basis for many years. It still continues in this vein, and therefore anyone attempting to call time on the bull run, or even begin to suggest that the group may be running out of steam, is likely to come a…
With over 25 years of direct experience of brokers/spreadbetting companies, the big takeaway I have is that it requires a great deal of effort to fail in this space.
