After yesterday's gains come today's losses!

Does anyone seriously expect Deb to have a successful trading period?.. No way!.. Personally I think the update will be very grim indeed. É

Because the cabinet backed May?
Don't think so, because she'll never get the backing of Parliament.
She's dead in the water.

So sorry you lost 40k!
My losses on HMV were 48k!!..
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.. The High Street is not a place to invest in.. But I'm wondering what sector is?
Money under a mattress is a better bet all round if you ask me.

Nokesa....
The SP behaviour over the last 12/24 months is very similar.. The Shorters are baying for blood here I'm afraid.
The sooner this becomes illegal the better for all genuine PI's.

I think when I first invested in HMV Group circa 2011?.the SP was around £1.60.
They had just acquired Waterstones and Simon Fox was the darling of The City...everything looked rosy and a bonus of a juicy 6% dividend.
Then... Over a period of about 2 years the share price fell slowly, usual things such as difficult trading conditions, the Waterstone acquisition didn't work well (perhaps too diverse from their core business?)... I topped up at circa 60p's thinking it would recover, it didn't and it followed exactly like Debs is doing now.. 40p/ 30p/10p... Followed it down to 0p and bust.
Had the same thoughts as many on here that once it got down to single digits that I might as well stay in and just hope!
I really hope that all PI's holding here don't lose a lot of money like I did with HMV but the similarities are there I'm afraid.
GLA.

The worrying thing is.. IF they survive for the Christmas trading period I think the figures are going to be dire.
Amazon and the likes will no doubt have a profitable Christmas period but the High Street is not!
Feel for all PI's here.. I know this feeling so so well when HMV went under.
Good luck everyone.

I lost many thousands on HMV. Averaging down. Don't get drawn into this one. I think Debs is going the same way.

Crumbs!

Any reason known?

All of them are a terrible investment.. I'm locked into poxy Lloyds.. £1.80 here seems a good price to jump into but I've got very little confidence in the whole sector!

Snige.. Death by a thousand cuts?

Morsel.. This is Lloyds! The SP will fall... Obviously!

This time next century we'll be millionaires!! Mange Toute!!

Debs is a dead man walking...

Someone mentioned Debs is still paying a dividend?.. Surely this can't be right!!?

But will wait. Can see this settling around 13-14p... Rights issue looking extremely likely and can see the offer being around 10p.

Absolutely no guarantee you'll be taking a 7% dividend for the next 5 years.. That's a very silly comment to make!

Watching this closely and like alot of others I'm thinking £1.80 could be achieved. Can't see the current dividend yield being sustainable either!

Hi Thinking of investing here at these prices.. But can't see the dividend being safe when now yielding over 7%.. Your views would be appreciated.
