NH. I think your right. I think (may be wrong) is to await 2p or so, sell and buy back when it drops back after the excitement, and buy again at 1.5p. Sods Law says If I sell at 2p, it will go to 3p....If I don't sell, it will drop below my 1.3p buying price! I may put any gains on to PPA or try ACU which goes up and down like a Yo-Yo. Yorkshire: You are also right, becase hanging around here for a few pence is so boring, so yes, there are far better and maybe more predictable shares about, but as previously said, if you can hang on for five or six months, then you could get 5p from these.....maybe more, hard to tell. As you say, it's the risk element, but some risks are more exciting and at least they go up and down more regularly than these. I just hate no news or dormant postings boards as they beg the question, why is nobody else here!!

That's all very ecouraging once again and proves that the Company is set to reinvest in the future with no significant debt. in due course. The risk is now minimised and a slow and steady increase will be apparant as news trickles through, then the sales books will fill with orders for next year due soon and will be confirmed later on. On this basis, I may just stay here for a bit longer until the other units sales has been confirmed, then we could see as much as 3p on the price. At present, my holding is still £20 short off profit!

Looks like news is due very shortly with a 38% rise. Be prepared to leg it with the dosh, because if it hits 2p, I'm off! Fingers poised on the sell button.

Hi Kiki, you ok? DISL is quiet, and the share price low, wonder if it will ever really go, but worry not as we are bolder holders and we can sit it out.....even if we do get nout! Very soon the price will rise and will just epitomise, the art of patience that we all share, through months of waiting, tempers fraid and teeth a-grating. It will all come good, just wait and see, and there will be money made for you and me! Drat, that poetry bit got me going again.

How's things? Lousy weather not doing me many favours at present, anyway, months ago, I suggested that (can't recall which one of you!), you took a look at Photo-me International. If you bought at the time which I think was c.15 -18p, it hit 42p a short while ago. Maybe it came good for you, but I had no more spare to put into it. Sod's Law and as always, I miss out! reckon there's a conspiracy somwhere. Anyone else ever feel that notion? Ho-Hum.

That's even more encouraging. Good to know of someone that seems to be well clued up. Proof of the pudding.....Thanks.

Hi. Thanks for the sound information. It is rather more uplifitng than of late. Almost tempted to top up but that could be tempting fate. Watch out for early rises, as by the actual date due, they could stabilise or even drop on good info. seen it before! Even with your update, it could filter through and nudge the SP's up by a tiny percentage.

I hope they have something decent to report, but they still seem pretty slow in coming forward with information. Maybe they haven't collated all there figures yet assuming there is something worth while. Over time, I have found that some company's are slow because they are trying to massage the figuers to look good prior to release. Myself and other think that (allegedly), Jessops did this when floating. I'm sure this won't be the case with Discover, as I feel that they are on the up now and out of a fix.

The whole of the caravan marketing sector is very confident about their trade and next years sales. Law of averages is that Discover will do well on these line one way or the other. They have to be prepared to do some good deals to achieve the results, so the Birmingham venue is going to be essential to their business and the direction they are heading. The share price too, will be affected for the better once the order books begin to fill and the cash flow starts to show good.

Right, just had a look. 1st Time I've seen a white candlestick for some time here. Try to understand the system of Candlesticks, it's incredibly complex.............it's not for me. Hope they're right, though. I will hold for a while longer yet, and if I make anything, I may buy more WTI or PPA, AFE is slow but could prove good very long term.

Barcharts.co don't have a particularly good outlook for the chaps. If I wanted to buy these, I would think twice after looking here: http://quote.barchart.com/texpert.asp?sym=DISL.LS&code=BSTK Maybe these are not up to speed at present.

Don't get too excited mate! The MM's are trying to encourage more buying here and once that happens, they will dip back down again and who ever buys them could be stuffed for some time. If you check shareprice.com and keep an eye on that, it will probably go red later today. Discover is essentially a seasonal retailer, so if the shares DO rise, it will obviously be based on performance of the last knockings of the summer. I very much doubt that the shares will rise for any other reason. Xmas MAY have some effect, but I never see many people using camping gear around winter, UNLESS people buy online should a winter sale make prices more attractive for spring. If sales were poor over the last quater, they still have winter bills and running costs to contend with, and this will absorb a lot of the profit, once again maing trading conditions j-j-jittery! The spread here is too high unless folks want to get in early for next year.

Probably consolodating a load of information in order to accumulate as much 'positive' info. as possible to make of good reading. The only good reading to us are the big blue figures up top. The higher they are, the more often I will read them. The natives are getting restless, lads! I can see smoke signals wafting from the top of some of your TeePees. The grey smoke is ok but all the black smoke are swear words, or else you have squatters (Pikeys) who are smoking a load of De Ganga! LOL.

I wonder if the guys at Discover ever read these posts? if you do, Fella's, you may like to tell us when the next news is due, or we will think you chaps are in the Dicky Dirt! Perhaps, you are in the process of being bought out by another BETTER and more profitable company that wants to do you guys a favour and relieve you of the burden of of what in my opinion is a company that is getting nowhere of any significance fast? You have an obligation to your shareholders to keep them informed, but so far and since about July, nothing has appeared. So me thinks you are winding down, selling all your freeholds and put the company up for tender. Naturally, if this is the case, an RNS would have been submitted by now........SO, what's going on then? Fingers out if you would. Thankyou.

Watcha! It's extremely hard to tell. This is the lowest it's been for a long time, and it's still possible that it could go down further. At present, we don't have much idea abou the company's recent performance, but with money being so tight, they may not have done the sales, but other company's selling the same goods seem to have done quite well. By the same token, we need to see a balance sheet for the last 6 months trading. If it has been good, I doubt the SP's would be this low as the Markets would get some idea of how things are. Many people are holidaying in the UK and camping and caravaning were on a 'high' this year, but it doesn't mean to say that 'Discover' took a big slice of the market. If.....IF you had £200 to spare (or waste), then there's no reason why you shouldn't try it, and if there is good news, you win and get out quick on the spike which I doubt would be higher than 2p, then fair do's. I cannot advise, only suggest, and as always, this company, SHOULD it perform, will only show next year, late spring, early summer. Take a look at WHY, it is possible that you could do better there over the same time, but I only go on what I read in the other postings and with the minmum of research. I have a little here again, and will get out at 1.5p, maybe 2p if it ever gets that high. It's your choice here, but it's very unpredictable and wouldn't want to guide you the wrong way, because there is not enough news yet to warrant a positive gamble.

Shows -14% at the time of this post. Still not looking very encouraging for Discover IMO.

Hi Matey, all ok here, hope you're ok too. Retail trade is not too good for me at present, usual lull before Xmas. With regard to these, there should have been something out for their end of year Fig's weeks ago. Aparrently, HQ (according to one post here) was told about a month ago that an RNS would be out soon, but it hasn't materialised. I am wondering whether they are waiting for something we don't know about....ie takeover details, or something else, say sale of a freehold to free up more working capital. If not those, then they must have a slow accountant. We all know that earlier on, they had good liason with the Bank back in July, and since then, little else has changed. They closed a number of outlets and arranged to help pay off O/S debts, as per link. Other info. can be gleaned from this link. It is pretty slow and I am a little concerned but this me be unfounded. Caravan sales are up, as is leisure and outdoor activities. I just hope that DISL are well placed to get a good cut of the pie, but as mentioned ages ago, it won't be until near Spring, that things will noticeably change. If they haven't by June, I think they have got big problems ahead of them despite their c£8M worth of Freeholds. If the Taxpayer is going to be screwed further by this wretched Goverment, it will help stifle consumer spending and the economy as a whole,(they can pass the buck and blame to the Tories) http://www.digitallook.com/news/rns/2905417-112810/DISL-CVA_Approved.html

Ah, yes. Someone who will also need to exercise patience! Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I hope so Treek,' been rather a long time now.

You are certainly doing your homework Treacle. Myself and others here are grateful for your posts, even though others may not mention it, but I will just to show that your 'grafting' is not wasted!
