FYI Dan snippet from full article

Similarly, Debenhams (LSE: DEB) is another retail stock I wouldn’t touch at the moment. It’s currently the seventh most shorted stock in the UK, according to shorttracker.co.uk, with a 10.5% short interest.

One thing we’re seeing at the moment (and this applies to MKS too) is that, in general, the traditional department store retail model is no longer working. We’ve had House of Fraser go bankrupt recently, and the same thing has happened in the US, with retail giant Sears going under too. Clearly, buying habits have changed in recent years as online shopping has become so much easier.

Debenhams reported preliminary results a few weeks back and the numbers weren’t good, with like-for-like sales falling 2.3% and underlying profit before tax plummeting 65.1%. Furthermore, debt was up, and the final dividend was cut, meaning the overall payout for the year was just 0.50p per share, down from 3.425p last year.

Overall, the outlook for Debenhams is grim, in my view. As such, I’m avoiding the shares.

Dan was checking out Debenhams earlier 7p exact couldn’t do it though.

Gosh my bushes need a good trimming back before the frost.

Chancers I have to agree with Dan, I often buy when things are going up and then I can sell quick for a small profit when they go up that wee bit more, asos is a great example of that. Imo doesn’t mean I am right!

Oh Dan 5’s I don’t think I have the patiences, how much roughly you thinking? I wouldn’t be too much just a couple of k?

Yes morning everyone, Debenhams is soooooo tempting and I missed TT at late 116s.

Vodafone is up 7% today!
Oilex is doing rather well!!!!!!

A rating change to a sell with a target of 2.70!

Sports:direct is down 6.5% today!

Chancers love the dignity joke!
That share has been tipped a lot over the last 6 months, will take a look. Should always be I demand;)

I think chancers mike Ashley has said no to a takeover, but can't trust him.
I think it could be worth a small bunt and see what happens.

Chancers I have bought boohoo about to check what’s happening but not holding for long.
Joe Johnston does bounce about a bit a day, very early 3’s could be a good buyin.
Debenhams looks like a good price....if there is one for Debenhams!

I have bought boo at 210.7 see what happens

Morning all, not directly related to koovs but an interesting positive read!

This site is doing weird things again.

Joe I bet Jambon has one of those watches from the vid!!!

Joe Laura Ashley imo is going to go into admistration at some point, it is expensive stuff and you can get copies of nearly everything it sells elsewhere, if it was to get bought by someone my money would be on Dunelm. Debenhams would be a safer punt as they have already said they are in a bit of bother.
Did you read about Johnston press, they may have a buyer nearly bought them on Friday but sp had risen too much.

That is a mighty big swing chancers you should take up golf!
Rio is a good one joe but don’t like the stamp duty.
Enjoy your evenings all.
Koovs is green slow and steady!

Not bad week for all by the sounds of things, I made another £100 on Rio tinto so now only holding koovs and wait for next week. Quite happy though :)

I have now sold asos with 1.4 loss but better than 10 early in the week, happy with that and battery about to
