Update: Closed at 2.75p today or £0.0275 A fair amount of money has changed hands today, but it looks as though the share price will now remain fairly static until the Christmas results are released. This kind of activity usually implies that no one really knows anything and people are just...

Agree 100%! If only I had a few grand to invest... :lol:

Love it. THAT is an HDR shot, not like my ****-poor attempts ;D

Badger, agree 100%. That's why I internet-research everything to death, find the cheapest high-street price (unless it's wayyyyyyy off) and go buy it from there. HATE telephone returns/customer services lines with a passion (No offence to anyone who works in a call centre :lol:)

Nothing wrong with a healthy dose of competition now is there? :lol:

It's interesting what you've said Rockshifter; not having been to Glasgow, I can only comment on the London situation. We have a LOT of Jessops stores in London. I went and bought my camera from Jessops the other day on the Strand (I work behind the London Eye), and I was asking myself the...

Shareprice jumped up 50% to 1.60 before close. That sort of thing tends to mean there's been a statistic information leak or a takeover bid (whether accepted or not) - although when you're '50% increase' only equaltes to £0.005...

Yeah there was a similar think up North in a woolies where they had Xbox360 games going for £0.50... mental!

Again, depends entirely on stock levels to be honest. Any company that's sensible when going into admin will have tried to ensure they are running at next to no stuck before they are forced to take the plunge. But yes, clearly if that happens there will be some bargains!

I guess that largely depends on a number of things: 1) What are the stock levels like 2) Are the properties owned or rented 3) What's the pension scheme like 4) How is the debt packaged Not looking for answers to those questions, just food for thought. Unlikely a private equity firm...

Is that true? If so, that's not a published statistic yet presumably? Beware anyone purchasing shares who has read this! :lol: If that's true then that is very promising. Although sales don't mean anything unless a) they've managed to successfully refinance their debt and b) the sales haven't...

Back on topic - apparently there is talk of good strong xmas sales amongst staff, internal performance indications and all that. :shrug: Incidentally, if anyone is interested, the price is going up (although not by much at all). Problem is that this is rarely a good indication of expected...

Share prices in the UK are quoted in pence, not pounds. Thankyou StewartR, but my the premise upon which this thread is built is perfectly sound. Jessops Share Price here. Marks & Spencer Share Price here. ...do you want to try and argue that M&S shares are £245 a share? StewartR...

Very dramatic! I like.
