I think the share price curve is steepening downward at DC. Reasons in my view are; imminent recession in the UK; sterling near historic lows - all imported product more expensive, squeezing profits for DC; ex-chairman and founder has sold a quarter of his holding recently (a bad sign); big pension deficit; as far as I can see, practically no cash - the business seems to be operating on cashflow which relies on suppliers waiting a long time to be paid; increasing online competition; a massive and costly bricks&mortar estate; a huge workforce creating high operational costs; very few customers in the shops whenever I've visited; warning from the management of 'more pain' to come due to the change in smartphone purchasing dynamics. From what I can see, there are practically no positives for DC; an outdated business model with huge legacy costs.

Re: Load up, Load up HiyaNot sure the shares are such a bargain. They fell yesterday back to where they were at the end of April and next years forecasts have been cut by circa 20-25%. Profits will fall from 500m to 300m over 2 years, that's a lot of business lost. Not sure the new CE is that much of a magician. Of course time will tell how they will recover.Let's see what the share price is in November!!Good luck

Load up, Load up Yes the sky is falling and the world is coming to an end....no? what do you mean you don’t believe this is the case, the market says it’s so and that never lies or over exaggerates anything, ever.....Its buying time, would have done it at 8am when it was 170p but i was not around. 185p is a bargain and in 6 months it will be touching 240p once more and you have a dividend in August.All new CEO / MD throw the baby out with the bath water first chance they get so when the sales figures come back 6 months later they look like the messiah.Fusion98

Re: sickest dogs in my portfolio DC.L, well that depends on what your average is and what your time scale is and if you can afford to write it off. Personally i would take a pragmatic view.1) DC is not going bust. (2) The bottom has been found (3) The new leader may change things this year (4) The dividend is quite good (5) You can trade it quite efficiently to lower you average or get out unscathed.Can't say about the other two, was generally surprised card factory was still in business.Fusion98
