I must say I'm confused over Mike Ashley's put options. The 4th should have expired today and I would have expected these to have made a positive impact. 6 more to roll out over next 3 weeks but I wonder if he is settling in cash rather than shares. Does anyone know if that's even possible?

Weak finish yet again with largest volume trade at finish,

More bad news on the High St when Marks & Spencer updates.



It looks like another bad week for Debenhams

It is undoubtedly oversold it is just sentiment that is dragging it down. Just needs a decent Xmas.

Who needs a dividend yield on a falling share price, a high dividend is no compensation for loss of capital.

You write to Mike Ashley and ask him which he would have preferred the current dividend or the appreciation of capital!

The guy cannot be a happy man sitting on such a presumed capital loss.

No reason to buy?
I'll give you FOUR for starters: -
1. DIVIDEND OF 8.3% with the final dividend of 2.4p just weeks away now yielding almost 6% (!)
2. DIVIDEND WELL COVERED almost TWICE by earnings.
3. P/E of just SIX. Ludicrously low.
4. RSI of 28 so massively OVERSOLD.

But people are gloating even though they profess not to. And yes I could have sold but that wasn't my point at all, this represent only 5% of my portfolio so it's not a massive deal to me. But you don't know if other people have took a big position and people are revealing in taunting them. At the end of the day no serious trader would log on to a stock they have no interest in buying to taunt others, it is a personality trait that is very odd. I actually don't mind ST, at least most of his posts are relevant to the retail sector, but others are just here to say I told you so. I've seen it before, and when it rises they'll move on to another stock and do the same thing.

I wonder whether QANTAS tells readers to do their own research as he subconsciously knows his own research cannot be relied upon?

Makes you think!

[owenski] 03/11/2017 17:06

People fall in love with stocks, they then lose the flexibility to change opinions when circumstances change. It then becomes about protecting their ego, they would rather lose money than admit they are wrong. Costly exercise.

Please dont do any research.

[simon templar qc] 03/11/2017 16:44

QANTAS, seems to be getting more desperate by the hour, even I cannot work out what his posts are all about.

He and a number of other investors refuse to accept the reality of the situation that the probable reason for shorters increasing their shorts is the company is in trouble.

Hence the share price fall and the shorts increasing trend.

Bad finish today which was expected.

[niggle] 03/11/2017 10:27

What does this mean?

"desperately seeking Susan?

Is it reference to the film or something you remember from the war?

Do your own research.

[qantas] 03/11/2017 09:53

No I am not as I keep a record and write it down every day.

I do my market research.

Don’t look for the needle in the haystack. Just buy the haystack!

Please do your own research.

QANTAS

You are wrong look at the short list they are on an increasing trend and Debs is now one of the highest shorted stocks.

[qantas] 03/11/2017 09:14

31OCT Shorts at 13.1% or 168,579,102 shares to buy back.
03NOV Shorts at 13.07% or 168,193,043 shares to buy back.

Think you may find shorts are closing.

31OCT 13.1%
03NOV 13.07%

Please do your own research.

[american idiot] 03/11/2017 08:59

A big red flag should be :-



Over 13% of DEB stock is currently short. Hedge funds on the whole make money and dont open naked shorts on a stock unless they're pretty certain of their views.

They will be right here, not necessarily because DEB is a bad company because its not, more the fact the UK bricks and mortar generally is ferked.

[american idiot] 03/11/2017 08:52

QANTAS,

To be a savvy investor you should use these BBs to garner other peoples opinions.

Take on board other peoples views. Read, read and more read. That means read every single piece of retail data, retail company updates etc etc...

If you had done this with DEB then you would see good reason for the current negativity surrounding DEB and why folk think the shareprice will fall.

It costs absolutely nothing other than your time.

There are no rules about investment.
Sharks can be good.
Artist’s dung can be good.
Oil on canvas can be good.

But Simon and his sisters are no good at all they are just a stuck old record very very boring.

It is a sad state of affairs when non-investors spend valuable time from their pathetic lives trying to take some form of joy from others investments declining in worth."

Self inflicted. One always has control over the 'sell' button, to sit idly and watch ones own wealth erode and do nothing is foolish.

[american idiot] 03/11/2017 08:26

Mourning folks.

Another day, another down day for DEB holders.

Just one reason to buy right this minute but nobody here can offer one.

[simon templar qc] 03/11/2017 08:16

There is no joy from myself seeing investors lose money, its not other posters fault if investors hang on to shares where the outlook is grim.

I suppose "In the Know" is wrong as well, have a look at ALNC from the news feed after the Liberium downgrade.

Debenhams isn't the only stock which might hit the wall a number of retailers are suffering, so are John Lewis.

[turbocharge] 02/11/2017 16:39

I tend to agree, thanks for the reminder
