It won't be a bear market just a long awaited market correction of 8 - 10%...

[essentialinvestor] 13/1/2017 16:20

With the next bear market about everything thing will get cheaper, always the
way.

Have held 35k in DLG previously, but not feeling that brave atm.

[diku] 13/1/2017 16:03

If the US markets do eventually correct then don't rule out 295p...or even 275p...just my opinion...that would be a good time to load up....

[essentialinvestor] 13/1/2017 15:27

Lots of 500 atm, yes that small! )

[diku] 13/1/2017 11:42

How small amount?...100 or 1000 or 10000?...

[essentialinvestor] 13/1/2017 11:32

Added another small amount, will leave it at that unless we go below 3.40.

[essentialinvestor] 13/1/2017 10:32

Would love to be that precise!, but tbh just guess/estimating-
DLG looks value around these levels longer term, providing results and outlook
are as expected.

It is loathed atm, but that often (not always) gives a nice opportunity.

[carer] 13/1/2017 10:16

It is likely it will stabilize at 320, do not think it will go as far as 295.

[essentialinvestor] 13/1/2017 07:52

Macquarie cut to Underperform 295 yesterday, looks on the low side to me.

[cwa1] 13/1/2017 07:36

FWIW Direct Line raised to hold at Hsbc

[essentialinvestor] 12/1/2017 23:17

sporazene, just read the FT comment and your previous post is correct.
I thought it was referring to tightening up on rules, rather than the
calculation metrics. Thanks for the information.

[jon123] 12/1/2017 13:16

I'll leave it on the books for 25 days see what happens

[essentialinvestor] 12/1/2017 13:09

Jon I'm only dancing, good luck with that, may well be available.
Looking at add a few more.

[jon123] 12/1/2017 12:47

put a cheeky buy in at 338 lol maybe it will get filled maybe not

[essentialinvestor] 12/1/2017 11:19

Think that is well known?, it's the tightening up on whiplash claims.
It should reduce motor insurance premiums.

[speedsgh] 12/1/2017 11:15

Thanks for that, sporazene. Do you have a link to the article? Or an article title?

[sporazene2] 12/1/2017 10:58

read an article in yesterday's FT that DLG and ADM are weak as there is a review ongoing regarding compensation claims in car accidents that could negatively impact DLG and ADM. Review outcome expected at the end of Jan.

[diku] 12/1/2017 10:51

Anybody think ESUR would be a good fit with DLG...DLG could easily bid for ESUR...

[linton5] 12/1/2017 10:44

Yip your right speedsgh must turn soon

[speedsgh] 12/1/2017 10:41

diku - Sector weakness imo cf. ADM

[diku] 12/1/2017 10:24

RSI is looking oversold...surely a turn coming soon...hope nothing a miss here..

[essentialinvestor] 12/1/2017 08:29

Missed that, got 3.4525.

Talking of missing, may be I am missing something here/or the FEB FY
contains some unpleasant surprise, if not DLG looks reasonable.
If wider markets sell off hard then about everything is going lower.

[linton5] 12/1/2017 08:22

I couldn't get funds quick enough for 344 Im ready now if it drops again

[essentialinvestor] 12/1/2017 08:17

Another very small amount.

[jon123] 12/1/2017 08:17

i know what you mean EI about finding value watching this closely chart support seems to be in the 340 area may dip my toe in around that level and see what happens

had a look at HSTN looks interesting but will watch for now 100p chart support there as you say need a bad day lol
