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.

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..............

works though dont it?

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

ask the wife.......

just like the SEY banter of old...

This may be of interest to you Jessop's holders. From Killik's morning note:

JESSOPS Trading update



Another new issue that has succumbed to a profit warning within its first full year of public ownership is Jessops. Today, they announce that trading in the first trading in February and March has been difficult particularly in the sale of digital cameras and sales with sales well below management expectations. Margins have also become tighter in this environment which implies Dixons has been competing hard on price. New product launches are expected to assist a return to growth in the second half.



Current expectations are for profits of around 20-21 million and this is being cut back to 15 million by Seymour Pierce, the broker this morning. This equates to earnings of 10p per share a 30% reduction and the shares have fallen 26% in opening trade to 114p.



Analysts are also casting an eye over Dixons this morning as an obvious downgrade candidate on similar worries.

Well i`am in jessops now,come on you know it makes sence . Time to get my arse down to the shop and have a look around,point them in the right direction.

Now whats on my wishlist!!!!!!!!!!!I KNOW ,a leica m7 or a hasselblad 501,,,more likley a lowepro camera bag,,,more like a samsonite,after all what can you get for 15 quid!!!!!

not a lot.

Come on get down to jessops


you know it makes sence ,i want a quick return..

I would love to help you out dave but as i bought my current digital camera from jessops this time last year, the mrs wont be too happy if i trade this one in and buy a better one.

I did read that shares mag tipped these as one to watch this year and did think about jumping in but bought HMY instead.

Accord,i belive its about pixels with them digital camera`s this years 3 million,,will be next years 6 million!!!!!!!

Where it going to end,in a profit i hope.

I bought mine in Argos
GUS up - JSP down
Says it all

Dont own these shares but had them on my watchlist. Not just Shares magazine that tipped them. i seem to recall only about 1-2 months ago they were getting tipped everywhere. Just goes to show never listen to the "experts." Seems to me this lot are in a very price competetive industry. Dont know much about digital cameras but if i was buying one I would probably go into Jessops, try every one in the shop, soak up the specialist sales advice then buy it off the net from whoever had the lowest price.
