Domino's Pizza Share Discussion Threads

So the DOM falls were due to market conditions, but on a day when the market is heavily down, DOM is up. That makes complete sense.

Well to be fair to trt he had mentioned the possibility of potential falls due to market conditions.
Just top up at £2.20 like he will I am sure

[techmark] 10/8/2007 07:37

A few weeks ago you were telling people it was going to 330p-350p following the results.

[trt] 10/8/2007 07:01

Could easily see £2.20ish with the current state of the stock market and if the Dow tanks again this afternoon it could go even lower !!!

[indieman] 08/8/2007 14:52

Quite right Steve.

I somehow doubt the directors place much importance in short term ups and downs and quick profits. The facts are that he sold only 5% of his holding - if he'd have sold 20%, say, maybe I'd take more notice.

He still has 11% interest in the company.

Again, I'm not saying the stock isn't overvalued (I believe it certainly isn't a bargain at these prices), it's just this particular director sell doesn't really mean much, especially considering the recent share purchase by the company.

Additional: Of course, I'm not naive enough to thnk this won't have any effect on the share price in the short term - it's just to me, as a longer term holder, it's not important! :-)

Well if people had read my post on this thread, they would have been well aware of the issues. No surprise at the director sale. It was blatantly obvious that the stock was overvalued.

[clarky5150] 08/8/2007 07:41

Ouch. looks like the director sell wasnot happily accepted by the holders.

Guys,

If someone wants to post up current forecasts I'll add them to the header.

[trt] 03/8/2007 15:20

I think we are heading for £2.40ish over the next few days and weeks etc, then I will be piling in heavily - well cheap at that price especially when DOM has itself purchased its own shares at £2.59.

I will wait in the current weak market conditions for further weakness to £2.40 !!

[indieman] 03/8/2007 06:50

The chart, however, isn't.

There was plenty of warning that the recent peak was built on shaky ground as both MACD and RSI secondary indicators failed to confirm the strength implied by the price rise. A divergence between price and secondary indicators is a warning to be suspicious of the price move, either up or down.

[hybrasil] 03/8/2007 06:32

That share purchase is certainly good news.

[vassily] 01/8/2007 21:41

Good idea. Hold that order. ;)

Cost of those ingredients must be almost marginal to the business model. Do you have any idea how much it actually costs for the ingredients of a pizza.

It's probably between £1 and £1.50p Say £2 for a premium one with all the bits that no self-respecting Italian would eat. You can make your own for pence.

[lasata] 01/8/2007 16:49

How will DOM manage the increasing costs of its raw materials e.g. wheat/cheese?

Do they risk putting up price of their pizzas to the customers or suffer lower margins?

[indieman] 01/8/2007 14:12

Did I? That's curious.

I think we can now see what was developing and, continuing the photographic imagery, it's negative. Last Thursday and Friday there were similar big falls, but look how the price gradually recouped through each day. Compare & contrast today where the price has maundered sideways and achieved nothing in the way of a recovery.

Can they put Humpty together again?

[indieman] 31/7/2007 17:01

Curiouser and curiouser.

The price drops at the last minute (so to speak) and we end up with a 3 day pattern which looks like an ascending triangle with volume pattern in accord.

Now, I'm not a trader and am inexperienced in dealing with very short term patterns, but I find this most.....curious. No, I'm not doing anything about it because I'm naturally cautious, but....did I mention it is curious?

Interesting article on the Newsnight worker issue on the BBC website in the business section under "other top business stories" this evening.

[stevepaulcarr] 30/7/2007 14:58

Indieman.

He he he!

Yes, keeps the brain ticking along.

And good luck to you (so long as it doesn't effect my DOM shares too much!)

Steve,

Quite right, but a surprising proportion of posters claim to be long-termers and yet post several times a day. I do this to augment my pension, prove my methodologies and pit my wits against others. My life and/or future doesn't depend on it.

It has the additional benefit of providing an excuse not to do as much around the house as my better half might want.

[stevepaulcarr] 30/7/2007 11:25

"They have little to gain by the day to day chat except on a hobby basis."

This is indeed true, but still doesn't exclude them from throwing in their tuppence worth when perhaps a stock's situation allows.

Having still a passing interest in short term trading (for me this meant days or maybe weeks, depending on trailing stop losses being intact), my indicators point to a rise over the short term (for DOM, that is).

[indieman] 29/7/2007 17:28

The Sunday Telegraph says take profits on DOM.

The general concensus on the state of the market is it's a temporary thing. That's a shame because I prefer to see them disagreeing with me.

[indieman] 28/7/2007 15:33

Steve,

The extra effort/little reward comment was directed toward long term investors who post repeatedly. They have little to gain by the day to day chat except on a hobby basis.

[stevepaulcarr] 28/7/2007 15:25

Indieman.

Amen to that.

Funny though, to me it's the reverse - investing for the short to medium term requires more effort for little (if any) extra reward! That's not to say I don't agree with people who do it, it's just I've tried it and it's not for me.

It's like you say, depends on your own circumstances, experiences, risk tolerance, patience, time-scales and targets.
