you are being more than optimistic waiting for 50p, might see high 50s though. That would certainly be a top-up opportunity. I repeat, I do not see 55p this side of next weeks results but if these are good next week could see this sp stretching towards 60p, by weekend.

Nice to see most of you in a buoyant mood ahead of next weeks sp enhancing good news. Tesco is a bit of a nuisance but so are flies in summer. Currys/PCWorld are in the business of selling serious products to knowledgeable consumers, not toys. The two markets are as different as a Seat dealer is to the Rolls Royce consultant!! Please worry not, your fears are without foundation. As for 55p before 17th? I hope you are correct but suspect that the Christmas spirit is imbuing you with unrealistic optimism. 55p will only come after the good news day, 17th Dec. Enjoy next week all you dxns investors

It is premature to be counting on dividends, the company has substantial financial commitments to under the terms of contact on the Pixmania deal. Cannot see a dividend being paid until the next set or results in mid 2014. However, the absence of a divi does not detract from the short and mid-term potential of this company.,

Just see this as another topping-up opportunity. I do, glad my wife does not know how many times her husband has increased his holding in this company.

Nice one, my local store manager says that all targets are being met and many exceeded!!

Between now and then the market will no doubt retrace to some degree, we cannot help but notice that Dxns by and large moves up and down with the market. Therefore, it is hard to separate the two given unknown fluctuations. If the market holds up through to results then 60p just after is a possibility, if the market retraces then results will merely be a spur to move the sp back into the 50s. So I predict that we will be about mid 50s after results.

Okay, so it looks like party time...so lets do it!!

It is moving in the exact direction we have been expecting. Problem has been that it took too long and has often taken one step forward and half back. Close above 50p for the weekend would feel very comfortable.

Lets hope this is more than a brief visit to the 49p world. With all the positives around this company it is really surprising that it has not performed better than it has. We all know the reason that it should rise into the mid 50s but it does appear to be hard news driven and for that we must wait for 17th Dec. It is not long now, so do not be tempted to cash in because you will, quite soon, regret doing that. Many of us have come a long way with this one and all the reasons for selling are behind us, now is the time to see profits accumulate!!

What is the message, sell @ 50p and re-buy @ 47p? A great strategy which would have worked in the past but this time you might just get left behind, cussing and cursing!! Fear not....... no more returns to mid 40s

but it has held up well in the face of the ftse being down over 100 points at one stage today. Hopefully, when investors get over the good news regarding the economy things will move further in our direction. Fears over a sooner than expected rise in interest rates is the main thing spooking the markets. However, greater growth, rising employment and low inflation bode well for the retail sector and we will be prime beneficiaries as Dxns investors when the feel good factor takes hold.

Can't see how you believe you are stating facts. Must be something you eat, pop down to the local GP and get some positive perception medication. A two week course of those tablets and this will begin to look like a smart investment.

You probably noticed that there was much discussion on this bb a couple days ago about flatulence. I realise that you were not the subject of the discussion but it could so easily have been about you. You are an odorous bag of wind!

This such a roller coaster. Another substantial top up today @ 46.94. I do not really need this top up, I am like a kid in a sweet shop when these dip like they have today. If they retrace further then I will buy more because come the 17th Dec these are really going to motor. GLA

That discipline is the hardest thing in the world to exercise, buying or selling. You have probably bought a bit high but we both know it will come back some time soon, hopefully very soon. I have a feeling that the markets might drop next week and that makes me think a bundle of dxns can be bought just over or under 46p. Been having the time of my life with Lloy but will have to sell very, very soon or my wife will give me the recipe to make my own cakes. Serious money in front with this one. Just must not be too greedy! Results Tues probably sell entire holding after the spike up.

You always make me laugh! I do not think these should be bought by long term holders unless they drop to sub 46p. I sold a largish wadge earlier in the week @ 47.20p and regretted it later in the day when they closed at 48.20. I am still holding loads but will buy more...but only sub 46p

Considering the sp has been modestly positive for a few days. Are we witnessing the start of a substantial move north or is the sp going to remain prisoner to market trends and company news?

I think you could be right

I am not really the person to give much advice on day trading since it is not something I often do. However, I am occasionally tempted in by what appear to be unjustifiably and large downward movements of sp. I only do this with stocks I understand to some extent. So to use the e.g. of Anite which I bought and sold within a couple of hours. Over the years I have held this stock, on and off. In fact I sold it at a profit in June when it was £1.30. On Wednesday they issued a profits warning of sorts-reading between the lines it was clear that the situation was not so serious as to justify the market marking down the sp by a third. With the sp at 74p it seemed to me a safe day trade. or maybe two day trade. In The event it moved up quickly and I took my profit. Had I stayed init rose substantially after I sold. How many times does that happen. So is life! As for advice, can only suggest the obvious, have some knowledge of the stock and its value.

Reassuring to see internal purchases.
