Superdry-ied up retail results - recession, recession, recession!


Recommended Posts

Another week another set of retail results with overpaid CEOs claiming unseasonable weather is to blame rather than themselves or the global slow down.  This time it is the turn of SuperDry and apparently warm weather hit sales of under layer hoodies and jackets...  People are talking about global warming as the end of all things but I didn't think it would be used as a scapegoat for CEO under-performance.  OK he didn't actual cite global warming but he might as well have...  And now the founder is throwing stones at the management, having recently left the Board, hmm...

Oh and it looks like consumers have stopped buying mobile phones as well...

If retail is a bell-weather for the economy then look out!  I haven't heard a good news story on retail for several years.  And has anyone else been getting massive pre Christmas promo action from Amazon..?  And did anyone notice that Cyber Monday morphed into Cyber week this year..?  I'm betting Christmas sales discounts are going to be massive this year and we all know what happens to retailers profits when they do that!  But it's ok because economists consensus is that a recession wont happen until 2020 so we can all rest easy then...

Perfect break and retest of the channel line there @elle followed by a massive break-away gap in early Oct and SuperDry returns to where it all started...  Mind you it isn't a bad brand or a bad company so in due course it could be an interesting buy, but only after the dust has settled...

Not clear on what I'm looking at there @Caseynotes.  Is it %growth rates?  Month on month?  Month vs prior year?  As an analyst it is important to look at the data in several ways to assess what it might be telling you.  But look at the graph below, trend really doesn't say much but then it is an index too.  One thing to note, there have been several recessions along this trend line but you would be hard but to identify it from this.  Governments don't generally like to issue bad data...  Lies, **** lies and statistics sort of thing.

    • It is a best practice to buy dip and sell high but this strategy mostly doesn’t go as planned because you can’t predict the final bottom. Some traders BTD anticipating a potential pullback which mostly doesn’t happen and this force some into panic selling. DYOR is mostly advisable but some people fail to know which analysis they should focus more on. When deciding to hold a token for a long-term FA is very important and its cardinal point should be thoroughly scrutinized before making such a decision. These points include; Whitepaper, Road map, and Usecase. These points have a huge impact on deciding how long to hold a project and also booast your confidence in the project's bullish potential.  The first principle in this industry is “invest what you can afford to lose" though many neglect this principle as such when a project is going through a price correction they panic sell and sell at a huge lost. Most normal regret their decision later when they see the project back on track. Once you adhere to the first principle you hardly fall victim to panic sales. Note that it is mostly not advisable to hold meme tokens una less you are convinced because meme goes with the hype and finds it hard to retest its ATH once the hype is over.  Anyway what are your trading strategy and principles you adhere to most?
    • The market is really trying to break boundaries this December & would love to see that happen cos this month has never been this rosy from past records. On the issue of binance with SEC, I think with time everything will  be fine & I'm thinking of leveraging on the present market conditions on BG's earn products.
