Me too - albeit mine was at an average of 311 as I was working through a couple of statements first thing and didn't pick up on it until the break of 320 and was left wondering what was going on. I personally feel it's a bit of a pig trying to price these sorts of incidents - I will have a look at SPD and see if it can give me a clue(!) albeit I would hope this is on a much smaller scale without the same level of corporate governance issues!

I'd love to see them at 280 as well, having sold at 331.

Love to see these at £2.80 equivalent of £11.20 - would you believe it...

Looks like price getting spooked a bit now. I decided to chop sub 325 so will sit on sidelines and let this all work its way through. I'll also sleep a bit better tonight!

Don't you think if the market felt this was really material it would sell off badly today - markets tend to not wait for news unless it's material and as commented on this board it's bound to have a bias to create a story so that's already expected

No reaction to the story at the moment but the documentary doesn't air until tonight. The time to watch this will be tomorrow morning.

So presumably your short. Market doesn't seem to bothered

The unions are on the march and JD will be targeted next to destroy its reputation..sell before Unite get their teeth into this company..they tried it with SPD and they'll do the same here

Good write up in The Times today - p40 on the 'dead tree' edition, I'm sure it is on the online version too :)

Hi Suzyred, if you're new to this game but are choosing shares like jd. I'm sure you'll do well. Best of luck.

Yes. The company decided that 15 was quid was a lot for one share, so they split each old share into 5.On Friday ,if you had 10 shares worth about 1580p each, you woke up this morning with 50 shares worth 1580/5=316p each. And of course they have gone up this morning as well.

Hi. I am quite new to this game and cant find an explanation online. Can you explain how the share split works please. At the mo my Barclays stockbroker account is showing a loss of -75% on my JD sports shareholding this morning???? Thanks

[davr0s] 25/11/2016 08:37

Don't forget to take any stops off before Monday morning as today last day of trading at these prices before the split

[alphabeta4] 10/11/2016 14:22

Beneficiary of weaker us dollar?

[henryatkin] 05/11/2016 09:55

5:1 share split expected due on 28/11/16.

The Chairman was on the Today program on radio 4 this morning. Not much to say except he is very positive on current & future growth. The interview was spoilt by the presenter trying to get him to slag off Sports Direct but he wasn't having any of it. Nice 1/2 year results. 30% year to date ain't bad.

[invisage] 13/9/2016 08:06

GO JD. GO!!!

Cracking set of results!

[alphabeta4] 03/9/2016 11:07

Martin I took the upgrade to crudely mean 185m - half of 180 to 190.
As long as retail and (youth) employment hold up post Brexit which the retail sales rise of 1.4% month on month and claimant count drop (the ILO measure has a further lag so will have to wait longer for this) things should continue to look rosy here IMO.
Guidance has typically been cautious with a number of upgrades in the past year so hopefully this won't be the last of them either.

I read the most recent trading statement as saying that they *might* be well ahead of forecasts. Generally JD gives lots of provisos that full year trading is very dependent on Christmas results, so they don't want to say too much before the Xmas season.

But it was only in July they said that the full year ending next January will be at the top end of expectations - with few ifs or buts about Christmas. So I expect more cheery news over the coming months.
