There are that many story tellers in this stock now that they are all confusing each other.

Love that Cyberbub (FFS the dual-personality ramper-deramper has turned up again)

Assuming this is another rumour, then the price should float back down like the last rumour two weeks ago. I'll definitely be buying back in sub £1.05

[nw99] 01/12/2015 13:17

Back with a position in case this is true

[jonny33] 01/12/2015 10:38

Sadly I'm out at the moment and sad I missed another opportunity to make some money.....

Ive been hearing his talk for 8 years now... It's load of BS

[she-ra] 01/12/2015 09:27

People who are serious about a bid don't talk to journalists about it beforehand.

[scapital] 01/12/2015 08:55

I would say it's a solid story, they've quoted the actual guy who wants to buy it.The trouble is that it's very early stage, he hasn't got any funding in place so it could still be years before anything happens.

[she-ra] 01/12/2015 08:42

Garbage story. There seems to be a group intent on getting Home Retail's share price up before the next profit warning.

The cramper may get a tick up today on more rumours about a bid for Homebase.DD

[cyberbub] 01/12/2015 00:04

FFS the dual-personality ramper-deramper has turned up again. Is the combination maybe called a 'cramper'? LOL Whatever, he's now filtered by me.

same day collection--working nicely-i wish i could buy some more at this level

[bouka1] 30/11/2015 22:24

HOME BASE AND ARGOS --WILL SURPRISE SELL WISE-- PEOPLE GOT EXTRA MONEY TO SPEND

[bouka1] 30/11/2015 22:22

GUYS, LOOKS LIKE GAP FILLED----A SOLID UP TURN WILL START ANYTIME SOON-- YOU MIGHT BE SHOKED TO SEE IT GIVING MASSIVE SHORT SQUEEZE-- SOME ONE INCREASED STAKE TO 19% OF TOTAL SHARE IN CIRCULATION

[bouka1] 30/11/2015 21:47

why some company taking 19 % stake-- was the sale great online--

[ayl30] 30/11/2015 19:56

Thanks Jonny. We will see when results come out what effect took place. My info was second hand but I judge it robust.I am sure IT system coped, it's a pretty robust oneFor those interested in retail, l went to Majestic today, quite a few lines I wanted out of stock, no certainty of when more will come. Not very inspiring given Xmas rush not started yet. New look store with weird signage and less stock overall was not impressive

[dealer1972] 30/11/2015 19:42

Apparently, at peak time over 1000 orders a minute were running through their systems, so I'd say that they were pretty robust imo!

[jonny33] 30/11/2015 18:19

Hi Ayl30 so word on the street is different, Argos broke new records, the systems remained stable, some customers experienced a slow connection as the web site became busy, but no repeat of last year or the last few weeks when system outages prevented customers buying.

Yes there was a task force in the head office working around the clock to keep everything going. The whole of head office, except those needed for operational support were sent to stores, but I'm not aware of a recall of buyers or changes to prices to react to competitors, in fact most of the offers were run for a number of days and only finish tomorrow ie they are still on now!!

What all of the above means for profitability is a different question. There is still 24 days left to Christmas so there is more to play for.

Fingers crossed

[dealer1972] 30/11/2015 09:20

Re: double eh? If website crashed, means less discounted sales on Blk Friday, hence less profit impact!

[jonny33] 30/11/2015 08:07

IMO vs. last year I believe sales will be up, profits will be down. There is some good news here, if shoppers stayed away on Black Friday, it means they will still have to do their shopping, so there are still sales to go after, hopefully not at prices which are a loss.

[dealer1972] 29/11/2015 22:12

Lol see what u mean!

[billiam] 29/11/2015 20:06

So, website crashing did them a favour?

[discodave4] 29/11/2015 20:04

News articles suggest it did crash. Any links that support your view that it didn't and how they did?.Experts also suggest there may be more downside for retailers due to Black FridayhTTp://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-3337729/Experts-predicting-slew-profits-warnings-retailers-wake-massive-discounting-Black-Friday.htmlDD

[dealer1972] 29/11/2015 19:27

Didn't crash, high volume of customers so had a timer for checkout so as not to put too much strain on transactions. Quite clever idea really.
