Sports Direct Share Discussion Threads

Come on ricer, it's

a) because of the recent bad publicity
b) because of it's big drop in profits in spite of growing revenue
c) no one can assess sterling's devaluation impact because MA stupidly chose not to hedge the currency like all the other international companies.

Basically the market is waiting for things to settle and so are choosing to keep SPD on a low valuation against it peer JD Sport which reported good profits increase and growing market share.

Sorry ricer 93 but you've just walked into a mine field . Normal service will resume shortly.

[nortic 007] 29/12/2016 17:18

DDI might be inspector Clouseau but you are Commissioner Dreyfus. You might be to young to know about that but have a look. Get a life.

no one seems to have commented on this!!? and can you guys stop the personal infighting...annoying

again: why does JD Sports Fashion PLC have a valuation almost double that of Sports Direct? I thought SportsDirect was the bigger of the two?

Terminated I'm out at the moment but you have my full support . But I'm all SPD out at the moment :)

DD, just looked at your last comment again, I'm not sure if you got confused but you said:

"Perhaps I missed your justification for falling profits for last FY, my point was sterling did not effect their yearly results to April 2016, it had not declined during that period."

Of course it didn't because Brexit didn't happen till late June and the slump in the pound came after this period (basically affecting the last 6 months of trading).

Useless
A family member a lady,was out once and needed a quick pee. Wondered why the floor was wet and realized the seat and lid were still down.

It's tough out there in the retail world .Be interesting to see how they (UK retailers) get on over the next month or so.

wonder how dire xmas trading has been at SD ?

[whites123] 29/12/2016 07:24

Wow.

Just read 3 pages of posts.
A spat going on.
However, a poster who I believe has never been called into doubt shows through as the good guy.
Always trust your instincts..
That goes for SPD as well.

SPD = IMO a Strong Buy.

Never in doubt Nortic, never in doubt.

DDFunny how life works out.Sleep well.Not been a good day for you after all.

[nortic 007] 28/12/2016 22:05

Dennis Keats used to be at my dads place.

[nortic 007] 28/12/2016 22:01

Puffer William used to have a vineyard in the U.K. As a young man I first found him quite a scary character but had a heart of gold. Brian still pops into the office from time to time but probably goes out to Corsica quite a lot. I'm seeing him soon.So many changes up in the city now. Don't know many people who like it up there any more.I'll keep in touch sir.

Dear Old Pinchin Denny!

Don Perry , there's a name
Was only thinking of Puffer Williams the other day
Most of my cronies have passed on though I do
very occasionally see an old chum who I believe was once half comm
at Citron
As you say, probably not a good idea to recall the good old days
on a public thread.
I do go back to the Bisgood Bishop days when dear old Brian was a partner there
He did well for himself !!!
Not that I was ever part of Bisgood

[nortic 007] 28/12/2016 21:19

I worked at Pinchin with Ginger Cook,Terry Hollis and Don Perry. Now that is going back in time.

[nortic 007] 28/12/2016 21:17

Do you keep in touch with some of the " old boys" in the city?

[nortic 007] 28/12/2016 21:09

Citron, William and Croft I believe was the name of his broking firm. It was a Rolls Cornish and that's was the number plate. Love to know who I'm speaking to but maybe you could send a private post if you want.Had a hard day to day having to cope with someone who thinks I'm a charlatan .Love talking about the old days.Hope your trading better than mine.

[ignoble] 28/12/2016 21:02

Remember the sailing as the story went that
the RYA rather wanted the number plate

[ignoble] 28/12/2016 20:58

Remember Citron & Co. from way back when!
Seem to remember your Dad had a Rolls
RYA 1 or 2 , registration I recall but it was many years ago

[nortic 007] 28/12/2016 20:56

How did you know Bill? Hope you're ok?

[nortic 007] 28/12/2016 20:53

He used to sail Dragons and that's where Nortic came from.

[nortic 007] 28/12/2016 20:50

He passed away many years ago.
