Currys Share Discussion Threads

There was a lot of negative sentiment on twitter about the web queues last night.

[tim 3] 28/11/2014 12:21

You couldn't even get on last night.Most People will not wait 45 mins - 1 hour Must have lost thousands of potential sales.Agree long term these look good but they can't be complacent mistakes like this are unacceptable

Incredible that i cant get onto the website even now

Pretty safe bet that one tim as they said as much last year at the december update. If I recall correctly they said because of the growing trend towards black friday it meant the following couple of weeks were lighter than in previous years. A trend that only looks to grow and so I agree about the importance of getting black friday right. Great share price performance over the last 2 1/2 years however. Can't complain at that! :-)

These days retail has changed.

People buy much more when the deals are on and less at other times.

The January sale goes from strength to strength and bank holidays and now black Friday are critical.

Retailers have to be ready for these days.

Am sorry but Currys are not.

Having to wait nearly an hour to access their website people will shop elsewhere,

They knew it would be busy so they should have got extra server capacity, no problems accessing amazon straight in.

Currys have adds all over the net and when you click on them you cant access the site!

I would put money on early-mid December being quiet.

Well they look stupid having target of 4.00 when it already over that.When it gets 4.65 they will move target again.Anybody can do this.

[v11slr] 28/11/2014 07:11

Deutsche Bank have re-iterated 'buy' and increased their price target from 400p to 465p.

Austerity? Recession? High Cost of Living? No Wage Growth? How hard times manifest themselves in the UK!

'More than an hour' now. Wonder what the profit margin is on the discounted stuff. Can't be much unless the manufacturers are discounting too. Maybe they are if it's end of line stuff.

152,000 people in front of me. It's called the Black Tag Event. Looks like it's proving popular.

[richf75] 27/11/2014 20:41

Just tried to visit the Currys website and there's a 48 minute queue to get on the site - WTF! Hope everyone's buying plenty of stuff!

Took a position in AO this am after watching it since results, not sold down at all and this can move fast, seems to be doing the right things I even got my washing machine there a couple of months ago because DC didn't have a great selection for the size I wanted, currently out of DC at the mo its had a great run but I will be watching and buying any big dips.

Up and down like a fiddlers elbow . . .

[anony mous] 25/11/2014 16:52

Great. When fundies short its time to buy more.

[richf75] 25/11/2014 11:01

Read in Spread Bet Magazine yesterday that Tiger Capital are short DC. Any fears of a bear attack if interims disappoint? Seems unlikely but just throwing it out there. I'm long from about 30p DXNS.

black friday approaching. . . will be pivotal day for DC. It was last year.
