The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
Totally agree with you Tom, there are may that look on this site for advice and support which could cost them their savings or worst ! If he is not removed, lets all ensure that as soon as he puts a post on, one of us with experience send sa follow up warning for the board !
ARE YOU ON DRUGS ! NO WAY THESE SHARES WILL BE 40P ANY TIME SOON. I VERY MUCH WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM AT 40P , BUT COME ON LOL !
What makes you think these shares will climb, i have been holding these for some time and have not seen nor read any evidence that these will reach 40p before xmas, although i very much need them to with the qty i hold.
Searching through our press releases i see that we are supporting the BLUE PETER appeal and plans are under way for stores to recieve contribution. I wonder when we will get some communication to keep the contributions so we can fill our empty shelves with stock the business don't send us. HATS OFF to who ever came up with this idea. LOL !
Although some points you have highlighted i support, 1234 was the start of the debate while the share price had droppped which i challenged. In buisness you need to get the right balance and i feel with current stock levels this has not been delivered. Cost controls in todays climate is critiical to any companies success but it needs to be areas that don't effect availability and customer service. Tesco and Morrisons are two good examples of retailers who have reduced the right costs without it effecting the operation and service. Keith Jones was in control of Queens way for those of you who are old enough to remeber when they sank. The 5 priorites allows the buisness to focus on key elements but the issue that the business faces is that stores get all the flack while the centre appears to be out of tune with the objective. Regardless of our views, lets hope the guys at the top have the right plan to turn the group round amd brings us back to the former success we are used to before Best Buys enter the market place. The refit programm seems to be scaled back so i hope we have some answers what we have done the the cash rasied to complete the WNR stores before H1results are published. Any views what you think the share price will be after H1 results? GL !
Sorry to be more realistic guys but the share price has not dropped because 1234 is not drving volumes into to stores. Although we may have saved £250m with this new process by clearing a lot of crap out of stores, there has been no end of lost sales due to the new process as we have failed to ensure we have strong availibailty as 1234 is based on sales forecast through sales,..............no stock = no sales = a reduce forecast which means no stock gets delivered and so on. More positve the business seems to be re-acting to the feedback and our reviweing an alternative to ensure we have qtys for peak. The share price is a bargain at 26p, not sure when it will get back and hold 30p plus. I also feel that the share price will struggle as we get to the half year results as we continue to recover from this difficult time. All to play for !!!!!!!!!
Your kidding,,,,,,,,,,surely !
Just picked up your posts. Why should i be sacked mate ? i'm is the main man !!! I would still buy, i bought more this morning before they dropped, pleased to see they improved. At some point they will return to a good price, the key is when, other copanies share price performing fairly well, dsg move towards 30p and then they always drop with the profit takers collecting their winnings.
I work for the group and although there may be plenty of press with what DSG is doing,the transformation plan is not as effective as it could be if some of the availaibilty issues were re-acted to. In my opinion there is far more to do to come close to what i would expect the board to deliver in preperation for Best Buys. I like many other hope the strategy works and from the outside i'm sure it looks like progress. The group is concentrating far to much on task currently with reduced ,hours rather with than driving the sales and profit. No matter how much money is invested, if the basics are not right stores to deliver, the competion will be ready to servce our customers.
Hi guys, having read the post for the last nine months i thought it time to join the debate. Currently holding 1.5million shares, i very much want the group to perform well. I continue to hold onto these shares hoping they break 35p but with on going issues within the business, i'm not sure how soon this will follow. It also concerns me that the group is not preparing for the 'Best Buy' entrance to the electrical market in the months ahead re-acting to slow to issues with availability and succession planning which clearly will hit both DSG and Kesa. Fingers crossed we can move over the 30p mark this week !
