Yes skindle,i think the drop yesterday was just a knee jerk reaction,if we wernt getting the sales figures in,then honestly i think we would be doomed,its exactly the opposite,and as you say the business is fundamentally strong,there hasnt been a big sell of,which is always a good sign,even so i think getting to £3 is many years away,not really desperate for the cash from here,so i will just leave it be,stranger things have happened before.

Only thing thats keeping me in,is the increased customer numbers,increased turnover,and the expansion of express gifts,and of course our big investors tosca and sports direct are still on board,slowly slowly catchy monkey.

also they increased customer numbers by 229.000,in todays competetive market,thats ptretty good going,if they can replicate that again over the following year,then we will be on our way,lets hope they keep on spending,long road ahead.

There hasnt been a big sell of.

what we dont need are anymore unexpected surprises,seems like findel are just operating to pay of debt,yes skindle do agree with you on education,its a bit of a burden like kleeneze,get shut and try and expand express gifts,should be interesting tomorrow,regards.

the full year results are expected early june,so i presume they are going to arrive this week sometime,im afraid its gonna take a lot to shift this away from £2,but we live in hope,the ppi disaster has put pay to that.i only hold 2000 shares now,so if we do pick up,its a nice bit of smile money. regards columbo

What im keen to see is what sports direct are going to do next,got to end sometime,nearly 2 years now since they first bought in,findel have kicked them in the teeth a few times over kitbag and with mr ashley trying to get on the board,if toscafund are buying in despite the recent ppi issues,then thats got to be a good thing.

Yes he was md when i was there skindle,as far back as i can remember when i started working there in 94 he was always ranked highly,is he the right man for the job,to be honest im not so sure,someone got us in the mess of being 300 million in debt at 1 point,he has been on the board all along,but he has been promoted,and the business seems to be turning around,so lets give him the benefit of the doubt,time will tell.

even though you need the patience of a saint here,what gives me great confidence is that they have increased there customer numbers by 21% so far this year,thats pretty good in this market,i would imagine as i used to work for express gifts many years ago,that the 1st run on the autumn-winter catalogue will be in june,this should hopefully set us up nicely for a strong peak season,im still quietly confident that findel will progress forward in the coming months and years,profits up,sales up,customer numbers up,bank debt reduced,KEEP THE FAITH.

Of 50 shares bought,whats that all about nighthawk.

Hello m8,got to admit,had a brilliant year with boohoo this year,if you watch the music channels on sky,boohoo adverts are on quite regular,targeting the 16-24 age group.

Hello fella im very pleased with my pf at the moment,and once again by the skin of out teeth,findel stays above £2,had my 3 monthly root down the sofa on fri,and had a small punt on another small gold- copper company,glr,nice cheap share,hoping to find the next multibagger like solg,imho.

hello gentlemen i can just about put up with the pain if we stay over £2,any lower and its like being sat in the dentist chair,aslong as we dont get any bad news,we should be ok,imho

Hello ejackson,thats the only reason i havent sold out,because of the way express gifts is performing,but as for the sp,just got this on the back burner,quite happy to hold.imho.

yes it does seem like an eternity and its been over a year now since sports direct showed an interest in us,havent got the foggiest what there game is either,im just hoping findel are doing the business behind the scenes with sales,the last trading update looked very promising,especially for express gifts.

hello m8,were you aware that bhp billiton wanted to get there hands on part of solg for 275 million the other week,and solg turned it down flat.gonna be interesting to see the story unfold,possible bidding war,imho.

Hello m8 yes i have and im 700% up,something like thats come along once in a lifetime,i took my origanal profit out,so now all my shares are freebies in there,they could have stumbled across the biggest gold-copper discovery in history fingers crossed.

Hello m8,ive never really understood it either,i presume they have to pay broker fees on them to.

Morning fella 2.1975 to buy,finally heading in the right direction,famous last words.

hello fella if findel can attract a hundred thousand new customers,not sure what the average spend per customer is,but they must be doing something right,i feel they need to adopt an aggresive approach much similar to what boohoo are doing at the moment,all over the net like a rash,imho.
