It is more likely that they are hoping that when they announce the results that they can make a good current trading statement and outlook statement if they wait.

[treacle32] 02/11/2009 22:23

News is well overdue. Unless results are supposedly good and will be announced earlier than the usual christmas period.

[treacle32] 30/10/2009 08:32

1.00-1.25p, still 1 v 1.

[treacle32] 29/10/2009 08:15

50,000 buy already at 1.14p. Movement is well overdue.

Problem with Disl as well is there is only 2 market makers and both
as you would expect have a big spread so of course there's either a
big dip or rise coming when one of them decides to move and it's a
coin flip to guess that.

I actually started to believe the story, loans secured on properties
so no short term financial worries and that exhibition did not lie
with orders over 10 million.

If he has sold it's normally the best indicator around, AMC at 0.8p and
Fml at 0.6p are prime examples, both went onto to double figures.

I might throw 50k of shares at it, do think it could be a 5-10 bagger
or bust ?

That's from back in early June 2009 whereas all the articles I have posted about from within the past month. Alot can change since June 2009 and the summer months is the best period for the company i.e. after June 2009. Wouldn't be recruiting the way they have and rather listen to employees's quotes on website. Also, bringing in 2010 models for sale on website. It's busy at Discover imo. Check out the gold award status too for the Chorley branch at the end of September 2009. Incidentally, it is the house broken Panmure Gordon who are still alone on the bid and have soaked up any sells at 1p for the past month.
Their quote from Jan 2009:-

'Panmure Gordon, which has a "hold" rating on the stock, says results for the year to date show market share growth, cost reduction and the clearing of stock. The broker says it expects Discovery to reduce debt, by around 20 million pounds by the year-end and it believes "the spoils for the survivors will be great", though it adds trading over the coming year will be tough'.

We expect to see further fall out in the leisure sector in the UK over the summer. In spite of the growing trend for so-called 'stay-cations', consumers are pulling a tight rein on discretionary spending,' he said.

'This has far-reaching consequences on the financial stability of the many and varied businesses in the leisure sector, from hotels to caravan retailers.'

See the website and positives in the past month including with hiring:-

Alan Freeman appointed Brand Manager at Discover Leisure Chorley

Alan Said "I'm really looking forward to the challenge and to working with the team at Discover Chorley and am keen to develop the superb site to its full potential. It has been a difficult year but with the rise in interest in both camping and caravanning and for holidaying at home since the turn of the year, things are looking up."

[treacle32] 25/10/2009 10:15

Full year results at Christmas but a trading statement has come out in September last year and the year before so one is well over due on update for period ending August 2009.
