............not with that spread though.

Contrarian123, I'm not invested here but having just read your posts I was reminded of Waldo & Statler.

Dick’s shares fall 24% as retailer slashes outlook over theft concerns

PUBLISHED TUE, AUG 22 20237:01 AM EDT

Dick’s Sporting Goods reported a profit drop and cut its earnings outlook for the year after seeing an uptick in retail theft and slow sales in its outdoor category.

It’s the first reference the athletic goods retailer has made to shrink in a press release in nearly 20 years.

In a rare miss, Dick’s also fell short of Wall Street’s estimates on both the top and bottom lines.

On the DX front, I got the impression a while ago that AS has an eye on the home testing (LFT) market and is keen to take larger market share on that front. I like that in it's own right but imagine another pandemic was to strike - including an upgraded Covid strain; The SP would go through the roof. That aside, is he positioning us for a launch of a new branded range. Just speculation on my part but he hasn't expanded that side of the house just for fun.

Try not to be so transparent with your agenda, as all too clearly illustrated through your posts on here to date. You would not be checking-in here so regularly if you did not see these as a worthwhile longer term buy.

Viking, that almost amounted to the perfect post if you'd rearranged all the letters, applied a few capitals whilst chucking in a few commas and full stops.

Unpopular as it might make me, Wyn's assessment is exactly the same as the one I concluded when revisiting the RNS's after a period away from this BB. AS's wording, as highlighted by Wyn, can be taken either way. What has not helped my rush to rebuy is the nagging thought of the incident many moons ago when AS said "There will be no fundraise", a statement that was shortly followed by a fundraise; old hands on here will remember that all too well. By contrast in this context, AS's wording to date could be taken as "holding statements" in the knowledge that he believes (obviously hopes?) they MAY reach a point whereby hugely significant amounts of Dox are being released into the tumour under the doseage to date but even he hasn't seen that yet. A case can be made here for both arguments (Wyn & Ice) which makes this a punt, imo at least.

I'm Alan. No! I am Alan.....but I cannot be as I am Spartacus........ (Oops! Sorry, wrong horde).

"General Motors has just signed a contract with us" is a useful sales pitch to have in your armory.

I think skycity is being mischievous for their own agenda, looking for an in point. Generalisations based upon sweeping statements with no substance to back them up says it all.

Just to add, when we have people at ministerial level saying things like, "If they don't like it here then they should FO back to France" then we also know that we have serious problems of leadership within our our upper echelons of power. We need a total reset - large companies included. Cost cutting needs to stop being mistaken for improved efficiency, as has happened in so many cases.

Great post and spot-on, Taverham. Totally agree.

Rambo, they cannot be "doing nothing" when you've already said they are "sat on the sofa".

(Tsk! I know..... I'm neither funny nor clever)

.........better narrow that down to "England seems to breed some of the biggest idiots......" and, yes, I'm native English.

Cheers, Taverham. Gotta say, having lived and worked around the world, for a supposedly "advanced" country the UK seems to breed some of the biggest idiots. The Singapore of Europe, as some suggested post Brexit? Don't make me laugh.

...........the oil can featuring more prominently than the EV / Hybrid symbols - which are well down the "Car Servicing" page and well below said 'oil can' - is another example. The EV and hybrid servicing offers should be front and centre. FACT: People need to be spoon-fed in many cases and many still see Halfords as bikes, blades and bulbs.

I just looked at the website out of curiosity to see to what extent they are marketing the EV servicing. Little things like the picture of an old internal combustion battery on the "Motoring Products" page will leave many EV owners with the impression that this is a dinosaur business that has not moved forward with the technology. C'mon Halfords! There's no point positioning yourself brilliantly if Joe Public isn't told about it.

Don't know how Bailey has kept his job, especially after some of the debacles during his time at the FCA. As for rate rises? I can remember posting on the FT comments section the best part of a year before the first BOE rate rise, at a time when Bailey was telling us that inflation will be transitory, "Don't these guys ever go out shopping? You don't need a degree in economics to see what's happening across the shop shelves". And yet some people still hang on this guy's every word (opinion?)
