Interesting views.Do you only mainly shop online? Do you ever go out lol! I think Debenhams is a fairly busy place, lots of people, busier than m&S and other places. Get the strategy and mix right and they will be doing fine. People will always want to go out and shop.

what's your view here?

No problem.

i did no vote - could expire in february

why no vote?

Appreciate the pressures but which company or sector doesn't have those, maybe supermarkets had it too easy for a long time.. Worst case scenario if online and discounters take over the market Salisbury and Tesco can merge. That's the worst case I wonder if shareholders would sell out to private equity if this share price performance continues much longer. Personally I think Argos is a really good deal long term. I've bought into this and I'm going to leave it and wait, forget it for a year regardless of what happens next week. Good luck.

expectations regarding the trading update?

I don't agree - I do not like shopping but debenhams are not so bad an experience - from an investment point of view, the stores are in good locations, interesting share register, plus the takeover thing I think is real here. I am buying today, long term hold if it takes that time (although the long term in this day and age ain't what it used to be).

Thanks for that, I sold out at 263/4. Seems to be the way of it, ie not easy to get out at the best prices even if you are in at the lows.

howde, i bought and sold this over a few days towards the end of December, sold slightly early. Looking to buy back into it, as i think the deal should go through given the commitments already made. Does anybody know when the deal is expected to be completed?

Here's hoping we get up to 1 GBP fairly soon in the first quarter and onward and upwards from there.

Out here, however i will be back into this, even if the price is higher.

Really. I think this is also positive. I thought the release was good.I think the current enterprise value afforded to this business is way too low. Will check back next year. All the best regardless of views and opinions.

Bought some more today, not expecting anything before Christmas but you never know.

Agreed on the share price. There needs to be more clarity and once we have that I think the share price should move upwards.There could be a takeover but that's not a good reason to buy the shares. Sort out the management and trim the operations is what the lady seems to be doing. The Carillion situation isn't helping although that might be a positive in the long term. Anyway I will buy a few more if the price continues to drift.

Yesterday and today, not on margin. I will lock them away and see where we are in a month or two, or three.

This will catch up with the oil price or get taken over.

WILL BUY MORE, THINK THESE ARE VERY CHEAP.

Hello has anybody got a realistic NAV price for this?

....unless the tax issue with India is sorted out. I don't get why there is hardly anybody here.
