I moved on some while ago but only with a small loss. I would have predicted 3-5p by now bearing in mind what it used to be and a smidgen of that old figure (3 years ago) would not have been unreasonable. I am in with Mining now and that's underperforming. One,......Beowulf is jumping out at me like RKH did and I ignored 'The Signs', but now I am strapped for cash, there will be no more dealing except with the two holdings I have which will do for now. GLA

Seemed that despite our prediction for this year, this share never really did anything at all. Dead loss for over a year. Watched and had these for yonks to no avail. Win some............

Thankyou for your comment. It just goes to show how wrong one can be in this game, but nobody's fault except the punter. Win some......!

I don't think it's really a Tree Shake, just Auto Stop Losses coming into effect. Buys frequently show as sells on the LSE. There is no real reason for people to bail out until the just after the sales of premises has gone ahead. I will be amongst them I think as I am getting pee'd of with this one now, and may try RRL on the basis that I have heard some hot tips, but of course, nothing is certain.

....sod's law. Bought in at just over 3p in anticipation, and now look. Not too much to read about on this company, but can anyone enlighten me about how this MAY pan out, rather than calling me a mug!! LoL

Currently +25.26% @2.97p 12.51pm

Maybe they should change the name to ' DOH! Oils'....lol. Need just 1p more to make enough for a few pints.

Hi, Yes, all ok thanks. My Photo trade was 37% up for December and 6.5% up on the year from '08. Business is fair to middling at present, but I am still saddled with the effects of the 'Crunch' which has left me with some VERY hefty credit card bills, and that's a lot worse than £10k, which is why can't put too much in these. Anyway, that's how it is, but I too will wait until these have matured a bit more so I am prepared to wait until the season shows their figures to be more encouraging, then sell. My target is 5p for this year, which sounds attainable by mid summer. This will pay for my holiday! At present, I am trying to plough through my end of year accounts, customers and doing my VAT all before Friday! Phew. Better crack on with it, so Good luck with all, back here soon, but I do look in here every day as shares are very compelling things even if you know they won't do anything for weeks.

That's a very good RNS, I think I will wait longer before I sell as this will go higher upon completion of the forthcoming sale of premises. I still expect the usual slide before the dust settles. I take it you will be holding? The thought of 370% on 2010 sales looks good, as I assume that it is Discover's sales up 370% and not an across the board figure. Another rise will come about soon, then another when orders and sales translate to money in the Bank!

Another moderate percentage rise here, albeit temporary, but it's heading the right way. I would assume that the rise has come about because the sale of the other premises is heading toward completion. Once this happens, we should see a couple of pence up, then down soon after, but as spring is not to far away, it will recover and MAYBE have a resistance point of 4-5p by spring, subject to sales. My guess only though!

that like me take a casual interest! http://www.wyg.com/2investors/financial-news_detail.php?ric=&ref=44890

Ahh, Right. A salop, eh. I've got one of those!! LoL. You can find out about Discover by Googling it or looking back through past posts (if you can be bothered!). The Charts above will give you some of an idea as to how they performed over the last few years. But if you looked at most companys, around 2007, they all take dive for the same reason........Recession/depression. If you have enough spare cash, now's the time to buy into secure long termers. I know of one person that put £60K into shares and friend of mine regularly puts in 10,20 and £30K. All right for some, so I just put in the odd few hundred quid because I am a poor hard-done-by shop keeper, bit like Arkwright without the stammer or the groceries! Yup, no word of a lie, it's hard life being a High Street shop owner/tennant and anyone who has ever done will tell you the same thing, you never pay yourself much money but I am hoping that all my shares may some day may make me comfortably off (doubt it though!) As I heard someone say on telly, I started off with nothing and still got most of it left.

Salop? Haven't heard that name used since the early 60's back at primary school! I think that this year will be the turning point for this share, just wait until spring. I don't have very many of these because I am elsewhere on the LSE, but what I have will be useful if it made 10p Good Luck to all, especially Kiki123 L. Pho' X

Shh! Don't mention 'getting any worse' someone will here you! LoL. Yes, next spring have been my view too for quite a while, but as one gets older, spring comes around more quickly and the Xmas decor, will be in the shops about the same time!! 21st Dec. is the longest day and if we have a mild winter, thoughts about caravaning will be on peoples minds earlier. We know there are interested partys in all the sites, so DISL has little to fear for quite a while and I am sure that they will be able to escalate their business with new investment and I would guess that Motorhomes would be the answer judging by the recent buying trend. I am sure they will get on the Bandwagon whilst the going is good as missing the boat for the Spring sales of the same, will be quite set back as we are talking of hundreds of thousand of pounds to be had. I want to see them advertising these wagons in a big way somewhere.

It was, that! ......Typical....Sweet Fanny Adams as I expected. What a farce, maybe they need to Discover themselves a bit more.

Season's Greetings and best of luck to the pair of you! We all need to be rewarded with our patience and loyalty. Not so sure whether or not I want increase my holding here, but weighing up the pro's and con's of this share, it's looking good if you want to hold for a while. Whilst I am a relatively patient person, I like to be fairly sure of a share I'm in (which isn't easy!), but I do like to see it rise and fall regularly to know that there is pelnty of activity within. As with you guy's, lack of activity in a share almost forces you into a loss to try elsewhere when enoughs enough. I would reckon that a few hundred quid on anticipation wouldn't go amiss but one has to be pretty sharp when the spike happens, otherwise it's back to months of the waiting game. At present, I'm almost glued to the screen on the basis of results being out today, although recently it was very slow for the last bout of news which didn't happen for weeks when we thought it would. Hope they are true to their word this time. Nothing much on the fairly Live Price at present (shareprice.com)

Morning! I have been trading for two years and I reckon that my total losses are probably around £200, but my gains a much greater although not big amounts as I am only a small time trader. I have to await AFE to work over the next year and PPA could be longer. To me at least, £10K is rich and £5K very nice, however, If PPA made 20p in two years time (currently not even 1p! but used to be 90p), I would be £31K better off...serious cash! I think that's a bit of a dream because within the next 12 months, I doubt it will hit even 5p. This share is very news driven, and as you say, once it's all paid off, then I think this COULD be up to 8p this time next year, but just a guess.

I have taken several losses over the year, so I too, would prefer to hang around until all deals are done. I was considering Lloyds myself but need to plough in a fair bit to make it worth while. My other half's been with BARC and AVIVA for years and has quite a modest profit and although she knows nothing about shares (but she can cook!) she was fortunate or unfortunate to have been left them by her late parents who sadly both passed away within a year of each other in their 60's. However, whilst I have several holdings, they don't amount to a fortune but If I wait long enough, I could make half of one.

...and with someone buying 4.3 Million shares at £40K which was probably a bank buy, maybe, this will encourage others. Probably a Natwest jobby.
