Range von 1,80 - 2,60 Dollar die schon seit fast einem Jahr besteht....  

 

 

genommen werden....
Sieht echt gut aus - steigender Kurs mit hohen Umsätzen!  

Habe soeben die Hälfte meiner Teile verkauft - Gewinne absichern.....  

Ascena ist echt TOP!  

Habe gestern nochmals einen Teil versilbert - bin aber nach wie vor investiert.  

Fabelhafter Anstieg :-) Nerven bewahren hat sich hier ausgezahlt!  

Was meint ihr wie es hier weitergeht. Wenn der Laden wieder profitabel wird, könnte der Kurs wieder anziehen. Die aktuellen Quartalszahlen sind doch schon mal nicht ganz so schlecht.  

Jahresumsatz rund 6 Milliarden, Liquidität ca. 600 Millionen, Schulden 1,2 Mrd. aber größere Summe erst ab Mitte 2022 fällig. Marktkapitalisierung nur 12 Millionen!!!. Wurde wegen Corona in Grund und Boden geshortet. Ob zu recht oder nicht werden wir sehen. Gehe das Risiko hier ein und schaue in paar Monaten wieder vorbei.  

Weiter gehts morgen  

Turnaround im Gange.  

Chapter 11  verkündet  

Von 0,20? im Tief bis 0,60? im hoch. Es gibt nur 10 Millionen Aktien, sehr volatil.
