Well said Unhooked.

As I've said on many previous occasions, had it not have been for the most helpful chat on this Board, I for one would have been at a loss, in every sense of the word.

Like you, Unhooked, my average was 30.72p and I too have decided to sell and am happy to take my profit and scarper.

I have little doubt I'll be buying back in but for now will continue to learn from the continuing "thoughtful commentary".

GLA.

Lol Sister.

Cartwheeling aside, here's to hoping you'll pop in every now and then with your pearls of wisdom.

All the best and thank you for enabling me to understand many nuances of the AIM. : )

Wishing you well on the onward journey Sister. Your contributions on this Board particularly for novices like me have been very welcome and gratefully received.

I fully endorse your comments about the DX community respecting the opinions of others.

All the best with wherever your onwards takes you. Thank you once again.

Succinctly put, Ports! Bravo.

The AIM is such a different animal and what I have observed os that broker forecasts rarely fructify.

When the do, it's so far down the line that PIs like me have long forgotten what the forecast was.

Patience is indeed the mother of all virtues!

Most grateful for your insight and the effort you made to answer my question, Ports.

Makes perfect sense, and without any hesitation may I also say that the points of view of the other illustrious and very experienced posters here are very valued by me.

Email, loving the optimism and positive sentiment. I truly hope that DX do get to those exalted heights of £1.

To be honest, I'll happily take half of that. : )

Thank you to you all for indulging me.

Onwards...

Hear Hear Ports.

If I'm not mistaken, it was "Sister" who opined that 25p was a good buy and how correct she was.

Ports when I read your posts, which clearly illustrate your incredible knowledge, I have noticed one thing, which is that you believe movement in DXs SP occurs when "Directors Buys" happen.

So, if you don't mind me asking, what in your opinion could be the reason(s) that directors are not buying, particularly when all is going so swimmingly well, allegedly?

Could it be the way the AIM works, the corporate governance fiasco continuing to hang over DX, the Tuffnells £50 corporate espionage debacle &/or all of them?!

Most PIs have waited patiently and loyally for upward SP movement and despite brokers' forecasts being rosy and constantly stating that the SP should be in the 40s and 50s, nothing!

DX has come a very long way since October 2022, but I'm not sure if DX will ever reach those pie in the sky targets IMHO.

Morning all

Despite the DX-IKEA partnership being old hat, it is nonetheless positive news all round and the dark and worrisome months of the share suspension a very distant past.

Add to the above that this is the highest SP in at least 3 years, the immediate future, at least, looks rather rosy hopefully with potential "cartwheels" to follow. : )

It will indeed be very interesting and important to see how DX cope with the extra 550 customers without sacrificing service quality or upsetting the balance of it's current structure.

Notwithstanding the extra depots which DX have also taken on, the other good news is that at least 250 jobs have been saved particularly in light of the current economic climate.

I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for a positive upcoming trading update, which I do anticipate, together with the announcement of the dividend.

Onwards...

Yoyo-ing like there's no tomorrow. Very tempted to hang fire, but made a nice lump in less than 24 hours and more than satisfied with my lot.
May still return.
GLA

Many thanks katstrangler. Hear you loud and clear. As I wrote earlier there are genuinely good folk with great advice to give.
For folk like me that is of tremendous assistance. Perhaps one day I too would be able to impart that sound advice to movies.
Many thanks and once again GLA

Hi all
I'm new to this chat and very much a novice to the AIM.
'Heard' about IBPO on the DX Group chat from a PI decided to dump following the SP plunge last week.
I've learned, and continue to do so, from experienced investors on the DX board, who incidentally are a very canny lot, that the AIM is not for the faint hearted and novices like yours truly ought to tread with caution.
I'm finding my feet and whilst I don't consider myself a gambler, am willing to dabble particularly where dividends are being paid (again something I picked up from the experienced contributors on DX).
Placed an order for £2k at 48.09 and hoping that I have the perseverance not to lose my bottle and watch this head northward.
GLA and onwards...

In light of all the recent comments and bearing in mind that 3 years down the line I'm sitting on a 10% loss on an investment of 23k, I'm scratching my noggin wondering what on earth I'm still doing on the AIM !
That's it - I'm "hoping for the best..."
But it's not all doom and gloom. The silver lining in my cloud is the dividend I received of £379 with further allocations due in the months to come.
I wanted to see if could sell my stake yesterday and today, but wasn't able to.
Presumably because there were no takers?
That speaks 'volumes' to me about investor reticence in DX.
So where now?!
Well, I'll be keeping a very close eye on the big boys, the sound advice from contributors here as well as my fingers and toes tightly crossed.
GLA and still onwards. : )

I deal through Halifax Share Dealing with the dividend being paid into a nominated bank account asap and at the latest within 10 working days.
The Halifax also offers a couple more options to the account holder of either holding the payment in the share dealing account or dividend reinvestment upon receipt of receipt of funds.

Ports, as per usual I am obliged to you for giving me an even greater insight into the contrivance of the AIM.
Fortuitously, I haven't had my bottom spanked as hard as some, but I've certainly had my eyes opened and am far more weary now.
FJ, I openly accept that I should've been far more diligent initially but in order to be so, a certain amount of risk also has to be borne.
Financial probity or otherwise, at the end of the day ensuring an understanding of a particular company one invests in lies with that individual.
I have no qualms in admitting that I remain on board the DX Express more by virtue of good fortune.
In fact, if the real truth be told, it was in an effort to recover the initial losses I had sustained.
Having written what I just have, I hear myself thinking what a "plonker you are Rodders" for risking more good money after what could've turned out to have been disastrous.
Anyway, 'D-Day' tomorrow and I can't wait simply because it's a moral victory of perseverance and patience for me.
Thank you for the support and gentle admonishment. I accept it all as constructive.
Onwards...

Your post proves my point rather well. I learn every day!
You've summed it up most succinctly FJ.
For now I'll stay where I am and perhaps head to the index trackers further down the line.
Onwards...

Meant with respect, thank you for the explanation Ports.

I learn and "organically" grow alongside DX with the aid of experienced PIs like you.

To be honest and notwithstanding the share suspension, had it not have been the posts of contributors here, I would've been out a long time ago.

I'm still far, far from understanding the AIM and frankly speaking will probably never understand the game the way I should.

It's been tumultuous journey of discovery and I am most grateful that I have the financial wherewithal to withstand reasonable losses.

GLA and here's to 'D-Day'.

Ports, to quote you, "a bit of a boring" stock with a dividend imminently due makes for positive news as far as I'm concerned.
As with all shareholders, it will be the first payment from DX in many a moon and most welcome.
On a personal note, despite having bought in when DX was around 30p, and therefore continuing to remain in the red, my faith remains strong in the Board and it's future plans.
GLA
Onwards...

Ports, not a single word do I or can I disagree with.

As I have stated on more occasions than I care to remember, never mind the news of a dividend, just being able to trade after all that talk of a potential de-listing was an utter relief.

The above said, no one should have had to go through that year of hell due to the complacent attitude of the former BOD which, as you've stated, led to their ultimate demise.

I would have to consult Mystic Meg (RIP) whether the year lost to the share suspension during the pandemic was in fact beneficial to DX in terms of the share price being anchored at 30p.
Many pros & cons can be argued here, no doubt.

Add to the above, and my limited understanding, the shares awarded are in line with a PSP which of course is performance related!

Point taken!

Ports, thank you for your reply re SP ex div.
A flurry of activity today, 95% of which are sells endorsing what you and Sister have stated.
Sister, like you, I too am a "lowly PI" who has been part of DX for the past 3 years now.
Whilst I clearly understand and accept what you've posted, it is still a rather bitter pill a
watching DXs old guard being richly rewarded despite the corporate governance shambles blah, blah, blah...
Needless to add, that was not in the best interests of the company, it's shareholders...
In that respect, I feel SP20s annoyance.
Of course, DXs argument, if it ever came to it, would be that it is a sound company, now in far better hands with the "new broom" installed and there to make it even more profitable which is in the best interests of all concerned.
The outstanding and perhaps the only issue is Tuffnell-gate which DX would undoubtedly state is in hand.
All the above is of course academic and it is what it is.
Sister, apologies for venting and stating the obvious.
Onwards...

Ports, following your post I read Wincantons RNS announcement and was rather shocked to see the dramatic fall of 25% in their SP this morning.
Their projected profit for the year ending 2024, the loss of the HMRC contract and other factors has clearly spooked the market.
Fingers crossed DX do not feel the effects
of the reduction in consumer spending predicted by Wincanton.
Looking at DX this morning, there has been a flurry of activity and the SP is heading northward, presumably, and to some extent, in light of the dividend announcement after 6 years.
Sister, may end up doing cartwheels sooner than she thought!

Sister, thank you for your pearls of wisdom. Much appreciated.
Like everyone who's been dragged along the DX Express, for me where we stand today is simply positive news.
Notwithstanding the above, and whilst I'm in for the long haul, I'll join you in cartwheeling should DX hit even 40p this year.
As I understand, the norm is for the SP to drop around the dividend payment date?!
Onwards & ...
