Still here. The news is that the sp's here are up several percent, so no one sell out at this low, as there is a minor recovery going on. NEIL63. You never know what will happen. It could have been worth hanging on 'til close, but bit late. However, you could buy back in now in hope to recover, however, it's still very risky but it only needs to do under 3p for you to win. Try shareprice.co.uk for live if you don't already.

I lost under half a penny to reinvest them into LPX. Read the posts on this and you could well make up any loss suffered on selling these if you so wish. Now I am out, I bet you all a virtual pint that, these will now rise!

Well, I managed to trade out at a tiny loss after all. Jsp dropping. These guys will go nowhere fast in this early part to the season according to write-ups. Not enough left to reinvest in anything for now! Rotten day.

Seems to be on negotiated trade. Waiting for something maybe. Now I have actually lost more money becasue I could't trade them out. Pis5ed off even more now. I feel now, that there is no point in selling these, and will retain my 4493K and hope that there will be a recovery, maybe even some better news later. If the closures do good for them, maybe someone may buy them out? If not, the shares will rise again once they have stabilised and there is profit being made. If they go bust, I lose a small amount of cash, but it may now be an eternity before these rise. Maybe the MD has something to say about DISL's future other than what we have already read. The money saved could be used to advertise, but at present, the company looks to be tetering. No confidence for the markets to raise the share other than this morning when they thought it was a good idea to get rid of the dead wood, but I'm suprised they dropped this far. Jsp still going up.

Halifax won't let me sell these. It will let me buy JSP but not sell DISL. I will wait a while. Not sure with JSP. H'fax buy is 09.19. Check out the posts on Lipoxim for a good long termer. DYOR, but I think it will be good later (much later). jessops is holding, but to buy may be dear now. Sit and wait and see what happens late today or on the close. As mentioned JSP has a habit of crashing. Keep watching the live!

What REALLY annoys me is that I take Wenesday pm off. HAving watched Jsp all day every day for the last few months, they have to rise when I'm not looking. I got in, but late. here's hoping. Now I'm in, they will drop and I may lose! We shall see. This lot was a bad buy, wish I'd chosen somewhere else.

Remember what I said about Jessops shares yesterday..........take a look. I sold my AFE at miniscule profit and put it straight into Jsp. Now....you say you maybe jinxed when you buy? Now I have bought Jessop, watch them drop!!

Grump.

.........because that share can make you money. At the first increase, check the live as I will buy £150 worth, a small amount, but will reap quick benefits, but you really have to watch it like a hawk. I watch every half hour just to check. Add a live link to your favourites, as I have done here, ie: DISL Live share price, or Jessops: Live share price, then you can find the link more quickly. Up to you if you buy, but look at all the Jessops News to get the background from '07. If they survive, they will probably go the same way as DSGI.......I say probably, because it's still a high risk company. If unsure don't do it, or punt low, like me. Small punt small gains, and small losses if no good. The reverse if you stick a couple grand in it. NOTE: Jsp is a very volatile share to good news. Hope this helps a bit. Disl is like African Eagle, just when you think its off, it's down again. This is a friendly site, unlike some, so I shall stick around here several times a day to watch. All the best.

Don't worry matey, I have the same thoughts as you. I have bought quite a lot here and there, and each time I get in, they go down. Is it me? I think that in due time and the economy improves, businesses performance improves all round, which usually leads to share rises. I thought about buying DSGi (Dixons) shares and waited, they crept up and didn't dive. I was going to buy at 0.09p, it went to 12p and I didn't bother. £500 worth at 12p, now at around 42p! Jessops is ok but relatively unstable at present as they have had the Man from HSBC prowling around on the inside looking for ways to improve the Co. or seeing what they could get if they went under. They will advertising on Big Earth later in the year, joint with Nikon, to share videos and photo's with people and give opinions on types of holiday, etc. Like a forum but with pics and movies. They are cutting back on many things, like old stores, end of leases, staff, in order to help secure their future (probably). I don't think they've finished cutting back yet, though. I forecast a 20p share by mid to end of summer should they survive. They have no assets left, and possibly reduced supplier inurance due to instability. By the same token, they are apparently meeting bank targets which is quite good. a 5.05p share is ok but watch it carefully. Buy at 3p or 5p and hold. Be patient, as with good news, the Jessop share rockets and dives almost as quick. You need to be on live on that and glued to the screen.............

LoL! It's a 5 man tent, but prefer 4 woman, me being the other party and a hell of a lot of Vitamin C!

It makes a lot of sense to cut out some of the 'dead wood'. By removing the expense of retaining non/very low profit making stores, the savings can be directed elsewhere to help enhance the business. The season for outdoor activities is almost upon us and started for some. Walkers do it all the year round (car sticker!), but as a hardened camper myself, I only have one week at end of season, (no kids about). I only do the UK: Wales or West Country, but having my own business (sole trader), time is at a premium. The girlfriend and I rent a luxury 'Log' in Devon, whilst me and an old school mate do the camping.....big tent each! Two guys in mid fifties in the same tent may get people talking!! Don't want that, now. However, These chaps should do ok looking at past charts although it could be a fairly lean summer with all that's going on, and the competition. If the company is sure footed with good working capital, they shouldn't have too much trouble, but they still need to plug away and work hard, which I' sure they are doing. Some Co's become complacent with 'plenty of money' to hand, and if it all goes wrong, then Admin! I wish these fella's all the best for the summer. If you buy these shares, as I have, don't forget to sell before end of seaon, at a peak, if we get one. GLA , always here or on Jessop (JSP) as I am in Photographic, and bizz is a trifle slow at present. It's the wretched Internet...too many people doing the same thing. Mucks up the High Street a bit.

You need something like, "Whatever the weather, for your Ultimate outdoor enjoyment, we have you covered". The use of the words 'Weather, enjoyment, outdoors, ultimate (ultimate implies they are the best), and 'covered' tells most of the story with how good they are to provide everything for having the best outdoor holiday so you can stay dry or comfortable irrespective of the weather. Pop that one along to the boss. I expect he would be keen to read it even thought they already have a slogan but can build the phrase (or a phrase) into an ad. I used to do lots of competitons, ie. I buy Joe Bloggs Sausages because......."it's the meat that can't be beat" In this case the use of 'probably' would spoil it because some may disagree, but you see how it works!

Well.........think about it: I have been reposessed, got nowhere to live, can't find any decent accommodation...........can't buy a carravan either because I haven't got any money! OOOPPS! Have another bash...

Hope they don't become complacent and maintain a decent market share of the current trend. They need a catchy ad. to sustain momentum and build for the future, so the next RNS shows a good and continuing stable business with increased profits. Company turnover is ok but they need good profits to pay the bills, otherwise the bills catch up and you're stuffed!

It would. I suggested a some ads in an earlier post. Pretty costly to advertise on TV, but get it right and they could recoup the £1K per second it costs, or so, to screen the ad. Now's exactly the right time. Probably not on main ITV channels but on regional TV like Granada or whoever. Like seeing Halfords ads on Dave every 15 minutes! It's tent buying time now., along with other bits. There is bound to be a deal with advertising Co's, as they need the cash.

and down 1.75. Rubbish again.

Hi! Lets hope so. I going to be flitting about now until I make a gain here, and that looks like a while. Looking at Jessops for a small punt in mind. Dormant at the Mo'. BestBuy going to open 130 stores in big towns. Hope they are not into camping and leisure, depending how one defines the term 'Leisure. Very disappointed crowd at LPX, including me. 50% loss (on paper). These are the Swine Flu vaccine boys. No Big Oinks here today, Very disGruntled shareholders!

That's a long time to wait! I know what you mean, though. probably find that the feel good factor will be back long before then, especially if Gordon Brown and his lot are off our backs! Proabaly get Mandleson as PM. What a thought! Puts a whole new meaning on Back Benchers! LoL
