Encouraging post. £12M worth of retail orders is excellent, although I wonder how much of this order has been contributed by Discover? I hope a good percentage, and if it were, the RNS due out soon, may reflect this percentage in terms of value, assuming deposits have been taken and how many orders drift in over the next 6 months. I doubt though if anyone were to speak to the MD that they would say anything else than 'Interest is encouraging and orders are secured'. I would even if they weren't so we shall await further reports. This will affect the share price immediately to the tune of a penny or two. I know that Discover are financially secure with Freehold Properties, but it depends whether or not sales have been adequate enough not to have to sell off any Freeholds, if they have, well.....we would have known by now. At present, I am only placing a weak buy until I hear otherwise. GL

Shareprice .com is currently showing an 11.11% reduction in the share price. I would gather from this that DISL did NOT perform as well as anticipated and that all these caravan sales were made through other companies. However, I will await the following RNS which is overdue to see how this company performed, so I'm not so sure if the news is going to be that good after all. Anyone else got any info other than what we have?

Don't EVER do a negotiated trade with Halifax. I'm with them, and they took an age to do the Neg. trade and I was 'ripped off' to quite a few quid. You would be better off waiting to get the trade page up so you know exactly what you are buying/selling. I learn't the hard way. When they know there is going to be a big 'sell', they often hold off and make you pay dearly.

That's useful info. matey, best for a while!

.....and still nothing. Looks as though there is nothing worth reporting except losses, but if the losses were less, then it will prompt a rise on this price. Good news and these would have started to move by now as the markets would have twigged it.

Where does it say the RNS is due today? What do you know, I have looked about and cannot see anything.

Anyone: I am surprised there are no posts here. I gather that Jessops are gaining concessions in W.H Smith, the first one to be in Manchester shortly. Right or Wrong? Anyone know whether this is here say?

I'm out! went to mwa which has coughed more in one day than this in two months! If you want a chat, I am on Jessops as my 'home page'. GL mate.

You will! so lets hope it's not going to remain like this for the rest of the season. I would reckon that if the news is good, ie: Better than expected trading for the last short term, then it will be the indicator to load up for next year. To get the best value, don't leave it until next year to buy. With this share, buy and then wait until start of next season. Not sure if I have the patience now. Nearer the time maybe if it's still on a low. I won't buy more of these if the price goes higher than 3p later on.

Yes, this shares is becoming very boring, so unless they come up with something soon, I will flog my small holding at a loss. I am prepared to wait anothe month or so, the shift it elsewhere. AFE is really crap at present, and I have a £1.5K holding there which hasn't done me any favours since the rise a couple of months ago when I should have got out with a good profit. They own me at the moment, so as soon there is a marked rise, I will shift to ACU or PPA and stick it out forever!

I did too! All a bit quiet, but lets be patient and see. Any share rise/fall will be noteable before any release of news.

I mean that someone's actually bought some shares. I thought that there was a report out by now as to the company's progress? Obviously not, but I assumed it was due out on the 30th as and of year results, or at least quaterly result as to how things were.

Someone's actually made a purchase, goody! Does this mean they know something we don't as or is it just anticipatory? probably no such word but seems to fit! LoL

52,000 people were recruted into the Caravan Club, but obviously, not all caravan purchasers will have joined up, so sales were probably quite bouyant overall. If DISL is a good company to do business with (which I'm sure it is), then their sales will have increased too. If they show poor figures for the last 1/4, then I will be out of here and will have lost faith in their business until next year and put the proceeds into PPA which will be a far better long term bet.

.....lets hope that it was DISL caravan sales that are up, it will say more in a few days, but don't expect great things until next season.

Hi matey, I have a calender note on the RNS for later, so it could be just right to top up now for the jump, should there be one. GL with all. My PPA is going well so far this week! 43% up (£500 profit in 48 hours) Not major numbers but good enough for two days sitting and looking!

http://quote.barchart.com/texpert.asp?sym=DISL.LS&code=BSTK A number of people think that Bar cahrts are a waste of time. Cannot see why as the people who put this together are 'professional' (who can also err!), but I think they are in a better postion than most to form a fair opinion as to market trends. SO, DISL remains a reasonable buy, IMO.

No other posts'cept mine. Oh well...........C'MON, FELLAS LOWER YOUR ASK BY 1.5p, you may get some trade.

Hi James, I agree. This (or any?) Government always has to many cooks, and they are always on the, 'I'm alright jack' side' of No 10. The reality of life is mostly on the opposite side of Government policy, and when they call the tune, we have to dance the jig. Too much wastage as always from a Labour power (apologies to Lab. supporters here, if any), but the best way out to a quicker recovery so that we can all get going is to abandon the EU and the £40m per day we pay to buy rubbish. Problems solved in just a few years. HIPS, waste of time? Worked ok before that, just more money in tax to sqaunder. If my business is here in a year, then I should be ok. Like you, I have many years of my trade(40) under my belt, but dislike intensely, the modern day General Public, but I'm stuck with it now. It's given me a fair living, nothing special but never gone without. Interesting hobby/livlihood though, but when Digital came in, it ruined a good specialist trade (IMO). Anyway, I'm still here, others are not, so I soldier on, but will sit these out or until I get cheesed off with them. Another mate of mine has started the share dealing lark and punted £4K somewhere by recommendation of Barc. stockbroker, and soon after, he had £2.7 left! Not a happy bunny, (a Bank I think), but told him to wait until recovery. Like all newcomers (even me), I expected to make a 'fortune' after the first few weeks. One can easily be deluded by shares if green on the issue. Enjoy the weeke

As long as it doesn't surge up whilst I'm away on hol's on 13th Sept. No stop loss, but I only have a small amount of stock here anyway. It can surge anytime it likes whilst I'm sitting here 'working' at my desk!
