nothing about Pizza Hut in Telegraph, but assume they are reporting weak sales ..... have to brave to eat there imo - lol!

cynic , high salt

prob high sugar too ...... good old Nanny State strikes again! ...... what chance of changing a nation's eating habits? ...... bugger all! .... next time you are in the super, have a look at the next trolley at check-out and see how many pre-prepped meals and crisps and sweets and biscuits etc etc .... even the bread has a high salt content compared to that at a true baker, rare beast that it now is

cynic , sounding like grumpy old men here

it's not exactly rubbish, but we do make an awful song and dance when really, it is a combination of many factors from busy lifestyles with both partners working to lack of ability to cook to lack of compulsory sport and exercise in schools ...... of course we do now have a significant groundswell against all the crap that is sold, so very very slowly eating habits may change, just as has our attitude towards global warming

I take it the market was looking for more growth than was reported yesterday...?

The problem was the rise in the price of mozarella cheese and wheat !!!!

The overreaction yesterday was ridiculous - it seemed rude not to buy a few at 201p yesterday afternoon ...... so I did ;o)

The Daily Telegraph seem to agree - see today's Quesor column.

If my reading of the chart is correct, the sp hit the 200 DMA & then bounced down again. If it tries again & still doesn't breach the line then I would not be happy holding.

bought back in again this morning at 217

Judging by the amount of empty pizza boxes around the student areas of leeds and smokers (who are health concious!) now drinking at home. I hope this is just a blip for dom.

hate to say it, but the chart is pretty damn ugly ...... there might be support here or at 140, but nothing of note

Surprised you haven't been shorting this one, cynic.
Surely the trading range from 140 - 160 is a possible support level?
I also thought that the divi date is sometime in december which might help a little.

Latest RNS says trading statement will be released on 8th January 2008. Preliminary results announced on 18th February 2008. Perhaps they are in a hurry to tell us how well they are doing before the media knock the sp down to 1.

i followed DOM for quite a while, but suspect i lost money overall ...... however, i still think it's a really good company, but timing (re)entry is very tricky

suddenly, sp has gone ballistic ..... no news out and surely too dangerous to jump on board without same

Cynic: I've been reading good things about DOM but have not been following it particularly. Think their results to end 2007 should be good. Link here to an article; also in The Sunday Times recently.
Domino Pizza - Article in The Times 08Jan2008

Domino Pizza - Sunday Times article 13Jan2008

while their update may be encouraging (RTN's was hardly bad!) it does not explain the huge surge late this afternoon .... just possibly bear closing, and certainly far too dangerous waters to enter without news

Toya ... don't you dare, or i shall personally tan your arse ... and not with Kiwi boot polish either!

You offering to take me on a nice sunny holiday then Cynic, where I can tan myself?? Might beat the rain up here in the Lakes, though clouds are lifting.
