Can't see how they would pay a divi and what is the point anyway you've lost it so many times over already. In fact you've lost more than the divi holding since June 1 so I just don't understand that comment.

[1fox1] 15/6/2017 11:06

But will the divi hold? Don't think so if the share price keeps on it's gradual decline

[ny boy] 15/6/2017 10:27

As long as the divi is paid happy holding, must be about 7.5% by now

Not looked in for a while. Where's Simon? Hmmmmm. 40p looks on the cards here..

[niggle] 15/6/2017 10:10

This is really bad. Will Ashley really have a go? all that retail space. 566 cap - which is lucky considering it's worth nothing. banging on about intangibles again, moan moan just my opinion etc.

DFS looks to be doing the damage here.

[ny boy] 15/6/2017 09:35

Will add more here, Uncle Mike will make his move this autumn.

Buy low 40s & sell @ 60p?...

[fabius1] 13/6/2017 02:02

I make it @40p target.

Things just can' go right for this company. Now faced with increased import costs!

Voted Labour several times in the past, however there is no way
I could vote for John McDonnell as Chancellor.

Hiking corporate tax rates coupled with Brexit would produce some very ugly results.

Plus there would be additional wealth redistribution measures that are not in
the manifesto. McDonnell/Milne are well to the left of Corbyn.

Much like the Brexit debate (whichever side you were on) if you just assume at the other side are "morons" , you learn nothing.

There are reasons (other than May's ineptitude) for the Labour resurgence and there is something there about what people actually value.

Certainly an outright Corbyn win would create a market shock (10% is a bit reserved imho) - but really I cannot see that happening. A hung parliament however actually might be better than a new narrow Con majority. Personally I think it might fracture some party lines and create a new centrist coalition.

"Interesting" times certainly and despite the obvious "frictional costs" I'm tempted to go (net) "all cash" tomorrow.

It's scary EI, I reckon we will be down 10% or thereabouts if comrade Corbyn wins or manages to gain power through some coalition with the SNP.

Wllm

Described it as inept previously, shambolic may be more apt.

Corbyn has voted against anti terror legislation on 17 separate occasions,
and yet post the London terror attacks Labour once again are running the narrative.

[niggle] 06/6/2017 16:25

I agree - they have just kept shooting themselves in the foot. But, as I said to some bloody Socialist this morning on FB - who would do her job? The finest employed mind in the UK Simon Wolfson or any other competent business leader would not take a £1m pay cut to run the country. Amazing what short memories these Labour supporters have isn't it?

[1fox1] 06/6/2017 15:34

Completely agree niggle. You really have to wonder who in their right mind would vote for Corbyn and his dream team. Having said that I think Theresa May has led a dreadful campaign.

Pleased to say I got this one right for a change. Rudderless old fashioned company on a one way trip to the knackers yard. The high charge long leaseholds are a millstone around their neck. The last couple of stores I went into had very few if any shoppers inside. Even went into the one they have in Wenceslas Square Prague and that was the same. 40/45p next stop. Unless something drastic happens 20/30p in the next couple of years. The long decline continues

Market hasn't been very kind to Ashley
Seen Sports Direct fall from £9 to £3

If he does own 18% of Debenhams , that is not doing him any favours at the moment.

Retail sector is tough ...

[edmundshaw] 06/6/2017 10:48

Sports Direct now over 18%. Shroders also over 18%. What's going on?

[diku] 06/6/2017 10:26

I think post 1873 is my understanding but stand to be corrected...Goodmans think this sucker is going down and Ashley is the facilitator or should I say is in a win win situation...

[diku] 06/6/2017 10:24

TC..you put in your 2 pence worth post 1878!...hilarious though...

[niggle] 06/6/2017 10:10

This is looking rather dire now. No one wants to see a British institution go to the wall, can things really be that bad or is it pre-election jitters?
