Re: RightMove The sp has been climbing the proverbial "wall of worry" for a long time now. I'm well overweight in Rightmove these days which might come back to bite me one day, but I'll deal with that if it happens
RightMove This share has to be one of the seven wonders of the world. Only a few year back investors were wondering whether to short it at around £5!!
Rightmove Noone ever seems to make money betting against this share. Remarkable.

Re: reminds me of ASOS at its highest Go back a few pages on here and you'll see all sorts of people have said we're overvalued over the last five years or so and recommended shorting Rightmove.So far, bar a few minor setbacks, the shorters have been spectactularly wrong.There will come a time when the housing market will turn and Rightmove will suffer, but even when the housing market has been in the doldrums, we've still managed to grow..I agree it can't last for ever, but, while it does, I'm not knocking it
Re: reminds me of ASOS at its highest This will be an amazing short ahead of the next housing downturn. The PE contraction alone should halve the share price and if earnings drop significantly, which you would expect, then the fall will be spectacular. The only really big question is when? With real earnings just beginning to rise I don't think it's going to be in the next couple of years unless interest rates are forced up; but then inflation at these levels would also suggest that is unlikely. So holders may yet enjoy more good times - just don't forget to run for the door at some stage.
Re: reminds me of ASOS at its highest A drop to £15 ?Hmmm, all things are possible. We were pretty close to £20 only a few months ago and, barring a major change brought about by onthemarket, I'd say that's the rock bottom floor, with £22 being a more realistic floorYou'd have to have balls of steel to hold a short down to £15. GLG and Greenlight have had a go at shorting us recently, and might have made a few quid, but people have been writing off Rightmove ( pun intended ) for years.Sooner or later, growth will slow down and the sp will react accordingly, but Rightmove's a household name and will be hard to shift out of top spot.
Re: reminds me of ASOS at its highest I have tried shorting this and got it wrong. It might be still overpriced but there bottom line is improving and onthemarket doesn't seem yet to be having an impact.
reminds me of ASOS at its highest ready for a drop to £15

Re: Results Quite right! One of my best and favourite investments too. I wish they'd pay more back through dividends and less through buy backs but that's just a minor quibble.
Results Pretty amazing how we can keep on growing here.Take your pick on which metric you use ( revenue, profit / eps basic or adjusted ) but you're talking about growth of ~20 to 30%.If it isn't the best, this must be up there with my best investments.
