could be wrong but I dont think your order will be filled. I have called it now rightly or wrongly

right before the merger Dixons and ****hone were worth about the same, so it is not all about ****hone. It was a 50/50 merger. but it is a big deal! I am in no doubt that mobile networks would like to sell more through their own shops and so pay less commission to ****hone, but in ****hone you can shop all the networks at the same time and get some unbiased chat and good service whilst you are at it. I can't see mobile operators pulling out of the award winning retailer at all. Also services like Geek Squad and extra products on the shelves should pull people in. If one network pulled out, they could potentially lose out instantly to competition. They would literally all have to do it together. Can't see that happening and furthermore ****hone is not 100% based on UK sales, it is stretched over 9 countries. I do expect to see worse Q1 results, but so do most, hence the share price? Then beyond that, there are a lot of years ahead who knows.You can only stay on sim only for so long until your phone becomes archaic though, especially with the pace of technology and the sheer amount of wear and tear that phone sustains on battery and hardware. Phones are used constantly. Lots of uninsured phone breakages too, cracked mine on the step the other day so I am probably going to need to upgrade when the time comes as repair is very expensive. Any choice on mass to keep sim only is therefore cyclical in my view and shares are longer term. ****hone employ 41,000 and have loads of positions advertised in every region I have looked at. Can't be that bad. Can it?

I notice there have been no more downgrades (That I can see) since Exane BNP Paribas downgraded Dixons to 'underperform' with a target price of 230p. I know it hasn't been long. But it looks like deutsche bank have kept their price target at 4.00 and possibly a sign that not many will follow suit. I appreciate Exane BNP Paribas and their research note and informing me of their opinion, but I do think DC have shown already their ability to perform when the going is tough and I see some good advertising going on right now and a good drive to blow away competition. The way I look at the goodwill, it makes up a large proportion of the company's value yes... it is high, but this is a company that is massively service orientated and I think has a very strong brand name in retail so would expect to see that. You can only value that with goodwill. All considered I think the price is pretty good right now, but there is uncertainty. So just on the basis of probability I have bought in as it looks oversold.

This is truly very puzzling. shooting up this much on such low volume. There has been no RNS denying the existence of a reason for this to go up so much and you quite often see that. Really don't know what to think. Loss making company and no signs as far as I can see that it has brought costs under control. Very curious though as to why they would still be hiring.

could be, not much around to trade on today. I will still be keeping a close eye on

What is going on here... just cant see it

What is being said by Barney B and Kiyam is questionable. Why would anyone deliberately enter a loss making contract?? Obviously the intention would be to make a profit one way or another in the short medium or long term. To get your name out there, or possibly bring confidence to others about your service. Proof of delivery. People can make bad decisions yes but I guess it fall to how the details are judged, which is a risk I am happily taking with a high capacity to loss and speculative attitude to risk.

One large contract gives others confidence in the company does it not? Potentially paving the way for further contracts?

Brokers don't have a clue - since when have they been accurate

I think it is a very good company and very profitable in the right Economic environment, still profitable now. I have assumed worst case scenario that all cash is lost. Well, In the context of the life long term cash flow to the company, I have concluded that it not going to end them, in fact I think they will recover from that in the medium to long term and learn lessons from it, so have bought on the weakness.

One of the main drivers for not taking an annuity is the favourable death benefits available, particularly to 75 from drawdown. They have now made the death benefits even more favourable and effectively told people that they can use the pension as a means to prevent IHT and to pocket tax reliefs for their beneficiairies by not spending the penson. I can not see any reason why you would want an annuity now when you can invest for low risk and pull everything out over time without the threat of tax on death in doing so. Bad day for JRG

I think there is a good profit from here if this planning permission is granted, because it is a huge project that could be taken on by a large energy company and alot has been spent in getting upto this point. really hard to guess where the SP would go but should be much much higher. I have not not taken a large position here due to the risks but there is alot of upside from here.

Will make or break this company _ decision might come before 28 days given that they will already be familier with the application which is a culmination of several years of detailed work and now covers more than 2000 pages What??... 2 THOUSAND PAGES :-O! Wow - time to hold for 28 days or more - I am hoping that due to other success with wind in central wales and pressured government to provide clean energy - this will go through. Bit of a punt TBH GLA

http://www.midwaleswind.co.uk/gallery_408940.html These are I believe operational windfarms in Wales. Bryn Titli – Operated by Npower is not too far away from this proposed site - with this in mind - does this mean that this will go to operation with out too many problems? If there is already one close with 22 turbines 159 ft high?
