After a disappointing start to its float, things are starting to pick up. Since the release of results in December, the shares have steadily increased from 147p to 161p.

The group has a strong and fast growing market share and should perform well.

what a disaster! the thing is that is shop and develop films at JSP and have always been very impressed at the knowledge of the staff and the pleasant atmopsphere of no pressure selling.

i am shocked by the drop today and would probably place alot of the responsability on management...overextended network? underfunded? too ambitious?

anyway...the future now looks bleak

Staff are different now - doing a dixons - minimum wage - fewer skills

ok, just not ay my local one then. if that is the case then they have no chance...thx for that

Classic example of venture capital firm squeezing the last drop of 'efficiency' out of the system before floating - and only just got away with it by reducing the price at the last minute.

and shareholders are left holding the bag...

and Shares Magazine has egg on its face as this was one of their top tips for the year !

says it all...

The whole retail sector is under pressure not just Jessops ,people are being careful with their money.I found the staff in my local branch very helpful and well educated about products.

Bloody hell 4 hours later and still no better for the sp!!

By now it should of pulled a few shorters in for a quick return.

Blimey, what has gone on here then other than a por February and March?

Glad I dont hold...............

And me sw,,,,and me.

Bloody digital,,,,,,,,,,,,,bring back 35mm.

best of al worlds. 35mm and a cd!

Its to easy that ??

you get the photos and a disk...great negatives and digital.

not a JSP holdert but it was on my grass roots watchlist...

Still some value in the sp i think.

Probably represents much better value at this price than before. It's a well known fact that most IPO's are there as exit strategies for the previous holders.

I think if you want to get back some of your losses you may want to look into other similar aligned businesses in the retail sector. They may also be forced to warn at some point.

It cant be long now before i grab a few,and tuck them away.

dave the squirrel..............

There`s nothing wrong with squirreling,now were`s them dam nuts!
