If there are a couple of interest cuts they will be of 0.25% each, that won't move the stock market much. If rates are cut by 1.5% by the end of 2025, then the stock market will benefit from the injection of fresh cash. However many savers may secure higher rates on 2 to 5 years fixed term deals. The recovery may be slower than one would expect. Which is good in a way for those who want to accumulate stocks with their disposable income over the next 12-18 months. Share investing is becoming more and more an intergenerational strategy for how slow it can be (especially for slow growing dividend paying companies, not the case of JD of course).

What's about today's RNS?

TU is not too bad

Derisory? What do you expect them to offer?

Nike up 10x in the past 20 years. Would it replicate the same trend in the next 20 years? What about JD?

Garydav2 Thanks for the info, I was begging to know this.

TD839 - very dangerous game to short for the near term a company you would invest in for the long haul.

You never know when a turnaround will come.

Are we ignoring the declining number of users? why is this happening?

"revenues more or less unchanged from last year at £240.1m": how is this even a positive?

Fat Profits - What is a TA?

When is it reasonable to expect the next trading update?

OTB stuck around 145 for far too long. Why there is no upward or downward trend, or at least some volatility to take advantage of?

Lord, It is not matter of green today, amber yesterday, red tomorrow. We need some solid long term guidance and solid reliable profits. JD choice to give results just before the Easter break is lame, probably a prelude of more pain to come in term of market sentiment and effectiveness of the expansion plan, I am particularly for Europe, where there is less idolatry towards thugs and chavs than in the UK and the US. I hope they address their advertisement campaign according to the culture of individual countries.

Definitely there is room for more profit warnings and downgrading. You may argue that it is already priced in, but you know the market, can take further dives. I will sit on the sidelines.

7500 people worth of wages wasted for so many years. They now will enjoy their redundancy packages. Most of them likely to be close to retirement age, so year, early retirement in effect, at the expense of investors. Anyway, as long as it helps in the long run, it is a welcome move.

From ditching plans for a US listing and acquisitions a few months ago to an unfruitful US listing and more acquisitions. Ah and the dividend cut. Management gone totally wild, unpredictable, with no reliable plans. Good luck to all the investors at the mercy of cow boys.

Safestore quick ratio is 0.5. Just saying.

Plus, average debt maturity is in 5.5years. Hopefully part of the debt will be paid off and hopefully rates will start to come down. Markets obviously have a cautionary view on that

A company with a Flitch rating A- would get a better rate than that. Mortgages are just above 4% at the moment. Or business rates are higher than rates for residential mortgages?

Why is the FTSE so undervalued? Why investors are fleeing in droves?

The UK has political stability (eve if this is arguable), good reputation and well regulated.
