Monty, I usually get my email a couple of days late - so hang in there something may turn up .

Alessandro, ref the adjusting items- they are all detailed in the RNS some are straightforward and others are accounting conventions - it seems to me- however nothing to be alarmed at. The increase in divi and talk of strong cashflows should have given investors confidence, imv. Also we will surely get broker upgrades and a trading statment before year end so I am still expecting 160p plus.

The market thinks Nike woes translate to JD woes and is not realising that it is a failing brand rather than sector. The only 'bad' parts in our results were a flat performance, when hibbett is excluded and currency headwinds both of which are short term imv.

p.s - where is FF - has he run off in a pair of nike s.

Topped up on the open - was expecting , and still am a rise to 160p today based on 'beating expectations'.

STP, I agree - Investors create jobs and growth which is apparently what we need. Still all the rain will have caused lots of sewage discharges into rivers and each one of those, including clean up activity adds to our GDP apparanetly so all is not bad in the world it seems.

LONDON, Oct 2 (Reuters) - British sportswear retailer JD Sports Fashion beat a consensus forecast for first-half profit and said it was on track to meet annual guidance, showing its multi-brand strategy working at a time when Nike is struggling.

The FTSE 100-listed group, which sells Nike, Adidas, On, HOKA and other brands in Britain, Europe and the United States, said on Wednesday it would meet targets, despite what it called a competitive and promotional marketplace.

Nike on Tuesday posted disappointing quarterly sales growth and

warned

its holiday season would likely to be filled with discounts

Ggplyr, I tend to agree with your post but I also noticed that they stated that September was the best month , implying that the summer slowdown was a blip [ while we were rioting] and we have now gone back to our old habits , working , shopping and drawing benefits!

I think the mms will try and spook investors by moving the sp down soon afeter open so that they can pick up shares for sale later when common sense prevails!

Ed is clearly in the dark as to how he is going to hit his net zero target and there is some irony there as we will all be in the dark shortly !

anyone listen to r4 around 6.18 this morning when baroness welsh***** was expressing how pleased she was that the port talbot steel works was ceasing use of coal and 2800 direct jobs were going? she justified the cessation of the making of steel from ore as 'progress'. and as to the simultaneous closing of our last coal fired power station she was pleased that al gore [ who she was with in california had noticed that the country that had started the industrial revolution through the use of coal had now stopped. i assume she flew there business /first class at our expense and the hypocrassy is stagerring. i bet there are some people in port talbot hoping she burns in hell on a fire of qelsh coal for those remarks.

Spades, I took advantage of the raise and am still driving the Tiguan i bought new 13 years ago. Had i sold around 30p, I would be driving a much better car, only a couple of years old but fretting about my wet dog ruining it - such is life!

I am thinking that the oil price fall is also good news as lots of our costs are linked to energy prices. We might all be breaking even soon.

Reppyr, as chief legal bod, I guess he will send the money off shore to some dodgy tax haven before the budget!

I think we will see a few more eople crystallising capital gains over the near term.

Meanwhile Bloomberg is reporting we have made smr uk shortlist !

On r4 this am I heard that people have been trimming their aim shares in advance of the budget fearing Rachael Thieves will damage the market and a sell off might happen . I wonder if that is the case here? Meanwhile the Dunelm founders have just sold £100m approx, no doubt to send over seas out of her clutches. Not good this deceitful, incompetent , authoritarin bunch.

Great post Mvarma and apparently one of ali baba's employees chose the parliamentary candidates for Labour at the last election or should I say de selected those that Alli did not like. I suppose that is the pray back for all those suits and rose tinted spectacles .....

The mind boggles - no wonder his 16 year old has to be bought off with use of a luxury pad.

Cash from covid still supporting the non profit making business here. In the words of D Bowie;

' we've got 5 years , thats all we've got, we've got 5 years my brain hurts a lot'

Not great reading as full year downgraded. Company still doing all the right things imv - expecting 10p off sp today .

Is the on the beach announcement on bookings helping? Tui said some good things yesterday also!

Issue more vote grabbing headlines and the do f all. Like they have for illegal immigration etc.

My reading of the situation is that the board are scared they will lose their jobs if the takeover happens and are therefore using every trick they can think of to ensure it does not. Lots of takeovers fail because of this in my experience.
