Hi Zara. Glad you made a bit. I'm still in profit here, but not anywhere else yet. Oh well, maybe these need some serious ramping to get them up. Try it! Did it before and the actually moved up a tiny bit, so come on all you camping fraternity, what ever walk of life you are in, camping is within everyone's reach. It's a cracking holiday and you wake up feeling so much fresher than in crummy hotel in Spain. Anyway, birds twittering in the morning is much better than the (deliberate) clattering of Dustbins at 4 AM. Race down (or up) to Discover and suss out their camping gear. You know you want to...............buy an air bed, take your own pillows, your little telly and it's home from home! Ensure you buy a good quailty sleeping bag too. It makes a big difference to your nights sleep. Discover the holiday you have always been meaning to do, and there's only one place you need to go, and thats DISCOVER......DO IT THIS WEEKEND! Single sleeping bags are best , you don't have to sleep on the damp patch....if you spill your evening cocoa on her/his side. LoL

Pho's quite cute! Yes, call me that if you wish, anything within reason! 'Virtual' Decaf tea only, no sugar and dark choc. biscuits please. I tend to apply very basic logic, along with some long term lateral thinking. I am a realist and a bit of a Phillistine, but that's not such a bad thing. On the face of it, people often overlook the obvious when it comes to shares; blinkered possibly? I have fallen foul of this myself, and when news of an exciting happening hits the market, ie. a takeover, 'Trade winds' or Market trends are like hounds who pick up the scent well before finding the Fox. That is to say, that prices will rise with everything factored in, so when it comes to the Crunch, little happens (but not always!). Instinct tells me to 'sell' just before or just after the RNS. You will see everyone buying after the RNS.....WRONG! (mostly) because once it's out, the SP has normally peeked unless you are really lucky. This means that the market spread is wide and one has to make up the difference between the 'Bid' and the 'Sell' and that's the rub, and also the time that people actually lose because it slows down, and unless you get a 'hiccup', which DOES happen, its much easier to gain a loss on a long retrace, so you hang on for months until they do rise again. As mentioned, DISL is a seasonal company, so unless they are taken over by 'X' company during the winter months which will boost the SP, the SP will vary slightly until next spring. 3 - 12p Aug. 2011?

No, I don't work for Lipoxin, I'm in Photographic, but not much use at Chemistry or a Doc. It was just that the long term potential appears great, but have to wait yonks to reap significant benefits, rather as these might. Back tomorrow.

We're not that bad. Like everyone on a 'high' when things start to heppen, we all get excited or deflated, which ever way the trend goes. Whilst I would love to eat Humble Pie here, I really don't think that this share will do 4 - 6p for a long time. The reason being that real profits come with bouyant sales and subsequent RNS's to confirm this to make the SP's rise. My argument for this, of which I hope I'm wrong is that this is not the climate for big profits because you have to consider what they are selling: Motorhomes and Caravans of any consequence cost £25 - 60K and Caravans 4 15K that are worth while. Motorhomes are often bought by retired clientele who may have the cash, and caravans for most age groups. It's not that everyone's got no money, but the current climate does not lend itself to most people to spend £35,000 on a good Motorhome. This is the main reason why DISL have been up the creek. The next few months won't bring significant profits, but next year may do. It's all down to work, jobs, fewer redundances and economic growth. Tent sales should and will be good, but if you get your 6p share this year I will be surprised. BUT..........'.paradoxes' can happen. My guess is up to 3p by August, and you could be right at 4p. But 6p.Hmmmmm! I'm sceptical for now.

Had a look at your EAM, but it's not for me. The amounts shown on the charts show just a few pence over 2 years, so one needs to invest thousands to make a small profit. I am sticking with Lipoxin for a long termer. On the basis of research and experienced postings, it's one to go for, rather like ACER; if they don't go under and the car sales market increases, this is one to buy into when it's on a low, but be cautious and DYOR.

1M Shares sold. Probably I Dir. taking his holiday spending money. Company/Market confidence outweighs the odd few sells. Happens all the time, selling shares is routine and there's no bad news around, so normal trading has only but a small effect on the SP. If they said, financial problems, etc. Shares would dive, but all is well here and Tickety-Boo for now. May be 2p tomorrow, no g'tee though.

It's unlikely that those vast shares will be sold or even be allowed to be sold for a good long time, otherwise it could be damaging for the rest of the shareholders (you and me), but apart from we two, surely there must be others!!! A fairly sound choice to buy these now, especially for the long term punt. Just look at the charts to see that there is good potential here once again. Two years should come good if you can wait that long.

I have just read the news, Didn't see that one yesterday as maybe it didn't appear until a short while ago. This will encourage further confidence and maybe more buys. This news may be the necessary factor to bosst it to 2p, but lets see.

I am hoping they will. It is possible that 2p may just appear before the weekend. The company has a lot more potential now with the money savings, and with the extra security, secured suppliers will be happy to business with them, I think all at DISL deserve to have a good summer, subject to trading conditions. House market is stable and people not wanting to drop prices much now. This proves that cash (whilst not much) is available and lending by the banks is freeing up a bit. Lest hope that the Bank of England doesn't put 1/4 percent on Int. rates. If they get a sniff of business picking up, they may feel incline to think about putting it up. BIG mistake for the rest of this year, which would damage any recovery.

Often, a smaller company can be more efficient than a large company because of internal communication. If you have a large workforce, you can get a communication problem, this is why Discover Leisure can be much more efficient as it is a more easily controlled working environment.

Yes, Actually, the best time to BUY a caravan is in the winter when they can't sell so many, that way, you can get a better deal than in the early part of the summer when they sell well. 'Van dealers are less likely to give you a good deal if they are selling well. Also, as trading conditions are less easy, a good deal should be available all year round until the economy picks up.

Good plan. You would be right in not buying over 1.5p as fees will take a while to recoup youir money if it doesn't do much. Some serious ramping is in order, I think here. I for one am far more confident to invest here again after yesterdays news......hence I made an additional punt!

I see no reason for this share to significantly any more as the company has renewed vigour and therefore able to get on with doing some good business. Trading confidence within should help sales increase as it will have given everyone a nice boost, and with the Sun shining, it makes everyone feel good, So, you lot, pull out all those stops and start selling!

Good idea. Lets hope it makes it. There won't be much news now, so I suppose we will have to rely on 'buy' volumes to keep it going, which also helps market confidence.

Hi, looking quite stable for now so I did a small top up to bring myself up to 36K shares. Not much cash involved but still pocket money if we get to 2p this week. Ideally, 2.5p would be nice. Are you still in?

Thanks for that, mate. GL

Cheers James, I am in for a bit longer a doing well on AFE. I will be on the Jessops site (My home page) if you see anything around that you may consider a bargain, in your opinion. All the best for now, Chris.

Caravans, nice to be in but not behind! we go to South Devon (Modbury/Kingsbridge). Normal holiday first, then camping with an old school mate in September. We have a lads week away to flit around the pubs a generally muck about. Has to be done! Last year, I had to abandon the tent due to its near collapse and driving rain. Fortunately in June, I bought a new car which was big enough to sleep in, the main criteria when a change of car is on the cards, in addition the other half has to be able to cram her 'face Workshop' in it amongst half her possessions for our weeks holiday, as they do! I keep telling her, she doesn't need all that make up (She is the only person I know that looks normal in the Hall of Mirrors). LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor old you, James. I empathise. My Lipoxin shows a small paper loss to but should change in about a month. African Eagle is doing OK, and I sold Mwana to get more DISL but made a bit this morning. The grilfriend is happy as it has secured us a little more spending money when we go away on 11th July to a nice luxury 'Log' overlooking Dartmoor. Been there several times and it's peaceful....NO kids allowed. Mostly for us middle aged plus guys! Hope your luck on the share front changes quickly, so chins up lads.

It may well be the day traders taking their profit, like me earlier on. As I said, I bought back in at 0.013p so I will hang on. In addition, stop losses kick in and this is probably another factor. The upside is that as it's on a low, and as the company is secure for now, you may see an upsurge of buys now confidence is better and the likelihood of making some money is a bit more promising. There may not be much this year though, but the next RNS will probably be the next 1/4's trading figures, whenever that's due, which is likely to be less than good. Any decent prices here will come in time but you will be growing a long beard whilst it is happening. Do you have many now? I have 25K in qty. Not much really, half of what I had earlier. Small beer, but none the less, it's still deflating when it doesn't go the way you want......bit like the feeling you get when your date stands you up. Still, you only lose if you sell short.
