Hello all you eternal optimists. A bit of news from Australia, where it is 33 ish in Brisbane today. JB Hifi, Australia�s equivalent of Dixon�s Carphone, more or less without the white goods has just posted decent figures for Xmas and jumped nearly 5% on the back of it. The Australian economy is generally very good though so be cautious in extrapolating to the (UK). I�m out of DC. atm and happy to be out, but good luck to you if you are still hanging in there.

Why does this site insist on inserting 8 spurious characters to replace one apostrophe? Usually they get replaced by pound signs or similar. Any one know how I can make this irritation go away? TIA

And of course, Theresa May, who is doing a bang up job for (UK) plc. It�s a nice thought but not one I will be making any investment decisions on any time soon.

You may have just found a use for the internet. You can use it to find things out. Honest, it�s brilliant.

I’m out today with some misgivings. After jumping in on the profits warning in August and watching a large red blob until recently, I have decided to take a modest 4 figure profit and bail. Never really one for investment in retail, I like the Company and how they have survived the internet onslaught and hope they continue to prosper. I just think in the long term, this is not a business model that will grow and the pressure will always be on to cut costs, close stores, etc. The physical stores are also hugely expensive and this will mean selling lots of widgets just to stay afloat in a domestic economy that is uncertain to say the least. I hope I’m wrong and I will continue to buy some stuff from them in preference to devil spawn Amazon, but I won’t be investing and I’m out. Good luck to all who keep the faith.

Oh dear Roddy, I may be a fool but not because you see fit to abuse me while dodging the question. People like you never make proper money from equity investments. By all means answer my previous questions if you can otherwise the best thing you can bring this forum is your absence.

Roddy what is your reasoning for this or are you just guessing? Do you have any maths or stats to back your claim up? Any information we may have missed? Any knowledge at all that may be relevant specifically to your SP forecast? Thought not.

Now dark knight has gone, we can all feel a bit happier.

Buffett also said something like being bold when others are fearful. This could be a great time to buy and I fully intend to consider his advice seriously.

Kent1 you are right but I first bought GSK in 2011 for 1302. So a 0% rise despite the FTSE 100 rising 40% over the same period. It ain�t pretty.

To all those who predicted a rise this morning. The only rise this morning was amongst my shorts. By which I mean my share trading of course.

17.5 million idiots. Democracy sounds no more intelligent when you shout it. Brexit was the second most stupid political decision of the millennium so far.

IOS 11 seems to want all my apostrophes to be pound signs. My world is falling apart!

I first bought in in October 2011 at �13.02. It�s nice to see the share price 41p up after only 6 years. If only I hadn�t gone for the falling knife at �15.40 and again at �14.20, I would be still be sitting pretty. As it is, this wretched woman and her half arsed and nervous presentation seem to have ******ed my Bollinger order and a case of cava is heading it�s way home. The price drop is catastrophic enough for a statement from the board imo. Thus is wiping billions from the Co value.

Dark Knight that is presumably why AO is struggling. People still tend to buy white goods in shops and get them delivered and fitted and working and the old one taken away. Whether or not they continue to buy them anywhere is another matter given the bleak outlook thanks to the idiots who voted brexit. It�s amazing how good people are at predicting the future in retrospect. Neither I nor anyone else has any idea where this share will go next. It seems to be moving on sentiment rather than facts and until we get a trading update or an alien invasion, I will keep cash standing buy for a substantial top up if the signs are favourable. If not, I will keep what I have and take the div. I wouldn�t risk shorting it at this price either.

AED is your caps lock broken?

A bunch of non-execs bought some shares. It happens.

If I have to buy on weakness any more with this increasingly annoying and under-performing pile of doogy doos, I will end up owning the whole Company. Topped up yet again today at 14.29, which is only �1.27 higher than when I first bought in, in 2011. No wonder Woodford sold a few months back. Possibly the only thing he's got right all year.

This is mainly why I bought in as well, though I was lucky to get in at the bottom a few weeks ago. I have bought a few things from Dixons and Currys recently and have been impressed by the time taken by the staff and the fact that they actually know their stuff The prices were reasonably competitive too, even with on line suppliers. Normally I avoid retail Companies, but DC looks good for a short to medium term punt and I'm sure they have a good way to go yet. But I would say that wouldn't I. Oh, and avoid broker recommendations forever is my advice. There is always a sub-plot.

Deutsche Bank 'Buy' recommendation.
