John Lewis reporting 75 percent fall in profits, the bellwether retailer not doing too well then. Next ok ish and Morrisions doing better. What does that all mean for Debs? Shopping doing ok but I havent seen anything other than the headline on JL so difficult to comment. Might have to do a bit of reading later. Open expected to be down could Midways low be beaten?

a bit of SP movement on news leakage but it looks like it was a tight ship today.

Is a golf saying and another percentage move which was down today. It almost hit Midways 57p "lowest" target. Did you buy some after all? Got an email to review my new food processor, woops we are away so I wonder where its been left. Hopefully its somewhere safe and dry. So will tomorrow bring about a move back up? I have no idea. What was Queenys theory on debs SP when I was away. It might offer a better clue wots going on. Traders dream share right now.

Not sure its tin hat time yet, not even sure I'd be even carrying it with me. Still events can move fast and when its time to put it on its often too late anyway. We normally get a wobble this time of year sep/oct so expect the unexpected

Evening Queeny, well I missed all today's falls and news. Debs only fell 1.6percent today so where did the other 2.4percent movement go? Daily moves not my thing really I'm just adding to the market noise myself really. We should be looking longer term although the 5 year graph is not a pretty picture either. SP not moved up much since then good job its been paying divis. Are things as bad as five years ago? or is the outlook for the future so much worse? I think not for the first but the consensus must be the latter is worse. Yes there are headwinds but I suspect many will be dealt with one way or another. Will we be testing Midway's lowest target soon. As for consistently, I am consistently wrong as a day trader hence no guess which way it would actually move. Just glad those divis are a bit more reliable.

expected to fall at the open so I have no idea which way debs 4 percent move will go today. I think I will put my headphones on and try some new running tracks and enjoy some local wildlife to take my mind off it all. Still got 2 free trades to use in one account, well there is always tomorrow!

Well if its not working out for you how about swapping to a degree in David Beckham? 57p worst case will you wont get a job as a broker most say 55p except that one who said a quid. Or was that for the whole thing like BHS?

fish I suspect you are correct I was looking at google finance, which is still wrong. I think I should switch to fish finance. Just goes to show you cant believe everything you read on the tinternet.

typos, 6/10 please try harder......

We knew the stores had longer than avg lease lengths years ago, are HSBC that far behind? Most leases factor in rent rises and whilst not knowing all that facts I suspect these costs are known and expected. Well apart from Ireland where rents were reduced via examinership, not an option in the UK. Rent tribunals?? Whilst I would prefer then to own stores the longer leases prevent them from loosing positions for some time also. A new upstart might offer higher rent and force the others to increase more or lose a prime position. If a recession hits then Debs might find it harder to walk away so its all swings and roundabouts. Magic Mike taking spd private .... I would not exclude it hes powerful enough and does the unexpected. What does next week hold? more 59 to 63 price swings I also found this interesting ;- "A total of 17 firms have issued a report on the stock. Two firms rate the company a strong buy, three analysts rate the company a buy, 10 firms rate the company a hold, three brokerages rate the stock to underperform, and lastly one brokeragerate the stock as sell with an average target of 70.88GBX Debenhams PLC has a 52 week low of 51.25GBX and a one-year high of 90.00GBX with a P/E ratio of 8. Debenhams PLC�s total market value is currently 0.0 GBX." So its worth nowt then. Maybe we should all be selling before someone notices!

Im not sure that second milestone counts as that particular final was for part of the year not a whole year. Cant remember the blurb SL said the divi would be equivalent for the year. Might have to google the original prospectus.

MA03, always nice to get another divi in the bag. Im waiting for the following milestones, interim doubling and interim bigger than initial final. Well you have to have something to look forward to!

No offence taken but its a good job your not called killthebird, Buster might be offended. No sure how many people were buying at the lows you mention apart from Suf who seemed to buy no matter what was happening. I didn't buy below 400 and in hindsight it was a mistake but PF balance limited me at the time. Are rules meant to be broken? Still its a long way off those 2013 highs but reinvesting those divi's would of helped quite a bit and helped me keep my hair on during the dark days.

... by nearly 4 percent on the open. Maybe a trader can explain all this type of movement better than me. Did it rise cos of the big buy, will that gap get filled, (learning trader speak now) or is it falling cos debs is shelling out multi million £ service contracts. Although they need the lifts to work and maybe the DHL lorry I passed was on its way to Queeny with a new dress. Maybe those mothers have working fathers or are WAG's that support the "lifestyle" or its a weekly treat to meet other mums with kids and better than McD's. Looks like debs is sorting out things behind the scenes to keep things running efficiently and hopefully that will reflect on the bottom line later.

killthebear, comment wasnt aimed at you so you are talking apples and we are talking pears, did you miss the lies quote. Just banter for suf and Buster which has been going on a while.

caniscorpus, "Trouble is I now have funds to invest and no clue where to put the money." Always a dilemma. Its best to have some dry powder ready to deploy when there is bad news about or when Mr Market has a wobble. Have equities been pushed too far up hill via policies. Cash earns very little and in some places is negative hence the push into shares. I suppose the question is how long will this all last and how much will you lose in that time. I think its designed to get us out spending cos there is no return and shares are "risky" As for the Clinton comments most is bluster like both sides Brexit talk. The US need medicine and as long as charges are far with some profit there wont be cuts. There have been occasions where a company has bought out a drug and then raised the price by more than 100% for our NHS. They stopped buying but more attention might be focused on these sort of issues if it continues.

Suf, "Only 25p to go folks :-)" ----- Twas only 12P off a couple of days ago thats almost a 50% drop! Lies, damned lies, and statistics! When you collect this pension are you going to blow it all in one go on a Maserati against the Governments advice or are you going to invest it in high yielding shares for income like ......... HSBC?

Midway, she keeps dipping below 60 and then pushes up to 63 ish. Quite big swings on no news. Big things made over him having a grand in �50 notes when being searched by the meedya. What do the expect a Billionaire to have, tuppence ha'penny? BHS is back, well on line anyway. So not gone but an internet retailer. Didnt Woolworths do the same. So maybe Debs n M&S might not gain as much as hopped. It depends on how many grannies are tinternet savvy. Most seem to be trying
