Morning Gerry, Don't regard Next as a retail bellwether. Have had an end to the year plagued with family illness and bereavement so haven't been doing much non-food shopping. Debs got the lion's share of the little I did do - prompted mainly by deb's gift cards from my brother in England to the kids. ATB

HNY Denis. Don't forget you can always get away from it all and come home. LOL give you a round at Trump Turnberry.

Know some of you from other bbs. Sorry to hear of your bereavements Bonz1957. An annus horriblis for me as well - better make sure I have spelled that annus right. Ach well at least Rolls isn't down to the fives Grayling was posting about and by Jingles sky wasn't a strong sell basket case after all but more a takeover case which is why ladies and gentlemen people on these bbs ought not to be taking themselves too seriously cos I certainly don't. Happy New Year when it comes.

LOL I hardly think my 7,000 shares buys accounted for the big volume but, I tell you what, they haven't sent any discount codes to cardholders for maybe three weeks or more so what does that imply.

Good luck in your new house. I guess the chilly castle finally was too expensive to heat. I've had a request to use my land for an internment and had to decline politely of course.

As Les Dawson might have joked, I only have one mother-in-law's tongue to cope with now and she never found out about the other one. I'm keeping a whole load of new health etc. secrets now from different folk for the best of intentions and nothing to do with being a serial adulterer either. Must be difficult though for these men who lead the double lives with the extra curricular stuff. My own health is blooming with the stress of it all and dropped two dress sizes with all the running around. My new year's resolution must be to get out more away from these bbs and will need some new nighties. Compliments of the season.

Hi Midway going to take a punt on a good Christmas for debs. Had to do most of my Christmas shopping on line this year and very locally for some things due to several extraordinary events. Have been on the go so much travelling to various hospitals that I have shed two stones in weight and will definitely be up for some new outfits in the January or post Christmas sales. I have to commend deb's flowers. I have been a nightmare of a customer having to change delivery dates and addresses over the past few months bringing some dates forward due to running out of time for one person and putting other days back to give folk a chance to get discharged from hospital and they have handled it all superbly and sensitively so a big thanks to them. Just need a certain man to read this and get me a bouquet a month or whatever the scheme is . Have a good Christmas all.

Hi Bonz I'm fine but had to listen to Manchester city v celtic on the wireless as I don't have bt sports like you lol. NHS in crisis and at least 6 folk I know are in hospital or going into hospital so not much Christmas cheer from me this year. Would break open a big white thorntons snow man to cheer me up but the Italians have maybe changed the ingredients and I'm doing my bit by refusing to join the ranks of the obese. Oh you've got a few months to go yet for a bus pass but you wont get no state pension for years even if you have a sex change. Looking forward to you coming on here to say you are Bonz69 if all the companies you're invested in haven't been taken over by then atb

Quids in here and itv and bagged the divis too - who says long term investing doesn't pay off.

I see you making a lot of recommendations to others about what to do with different shares e.g. hold and strong sell etc. Would you mind me asking how many of these calls you get right and over what kind of timescale? To be absolutely candid with you, I think a lot of the comments made on these bbs reflect only the direction an individual would like a share to go in at a particular point in time rather than an honest assessment. I also think some of the recommendations don't make too much sense e.g. if rr is likely to go down to the fives then it isn't really a hold is it and you were, as I recollect, calling it a hold much further up so a secondary question to you is: do you really think you should be making any more recommendations on here in the circumstances as you don't seem to have any more clue than the next person. Sorry to be brutally frank with you but good luck anyway.

No USA market for Thanksgiving. I'm really too young to remember but think it was Jerry Lee Lewis and just a cover version by Elvis but "danced" to by the former shadow Chancellor, Mr. Balls, at the Blackpool Tower - found an easier way to make money than his wife and using up some calories after his Bake off efforts.

today. Hope you heeded my pearls of wisdom. GLA

then the answer is that the company has a RECORD order book. On the accounting issue, the articles posted on this bb over the weekend quote the company as saying "The accounting change has no impact on our cash, nor on the overall returns we make; it just changes the timing of when we recognise revenue and profits." Only retail investor shorts open here, no notifiable positions open by the hedge companies so are the departure of a non executive director and a technical issue currently being worked on insufficient for hedge companies not to be all over this like a rash. Price is already low and would need something more tangible to scare me off a good prospect for the future.

where it's headed so sold at nearly 59 and was pleased with that plus I had a few issues with their flowers for the first time. If I had been a WASP Dierich, my earlier life would have been so much easier but, as you know, I'm a bee in church bonnets.

Loads of different articles about - some as I've come to expect - more grim reaper like than others for reasons we can all take a stab at. I suppose they are all out there for us to read for ourselves but at the end of the day a bb is probably not much cop to anybody unless folk are brave enough to express their own views. Looks to me as if Rolls Royce have had a few teething issues over this which they now have a window to resolve. If they are resolved on time then the share price will react accordingly which is why I am again a buyer of Rolls Royce shares.

Agree with that. Might well come back and bite people ved fashion with any luck.

It'll be Tunnocks teacakes all round then with Elaine C Smith. Deb's is worth 10 of Glen She'd even get a 10 from Len, People votin' for Honey Gee She aint a patch on Queen Bee Finest trader on LSE You say Queen, I say Bee lol

It's better than that Gerry - Oh yes it is. Retail sales soar on colder weather and Halloween "UK retail sales rose at their fastest annual rate in 14 years in October, bolstered by colder weather and Halloween sales at supermarkets. " http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38011477

or more properly spd the only investors making money on deb's and if you believe that then you'll believe anything. Good luck this morning dierich going swimming. I opted for kaz instead of pmo for a quick punt on Monday so could have done better than I did. Good luck with the ophir - it was more than double the price it is now when the master of the rsi was touting it as a buy so you can understand my scepticism. On the deb's bb -well I suppose if you ask a question and somebody answers you then you could make some acknowledgement. That's both Gerry and I have been ignored in such a rude fashion now. Just going to start ignoring some of the mince myself.

"Its really time to have a P/F on certificate rather than day trading......savings interest rates are just totally chronic, so cash is best served in investing in solid companies which are paying modest - good dividend......have to do some shopping:)" So in view of that comment, I think your 55.8 target, a tad unambitious kidder lol.
