TJX report Q2 2015


TJX, Q2, 2015, front page, report

This was my latest investment from August and it is always a bit more exciting to see in the quarter report after the buy if the decision was sound or not. Already on the front page I could see that there was no cause for concern. As with almost every other company the share price have been dropping as of late.

Gerry Weber, Q2, 2015, report, front page
