Re: NEW ARTICLE: Daily Mail crashes 28% but ... Should DMGT consider offloading the newspapers rather than other divestment? The internet, social media and smartphones are making newspapers less popular. Falling readership or costly promotions also add to the risk of owning newspaper assets. Time to reinvent the business by offloading newspaper assets and reinvesting the money in areas that add value for shareholders. If they opt to keep the newspaper unit the risk could be fewer readers and in the worse case scenario paying somebody to take the assets off your hands.

Re: NEW ARTICLE: Daily Mail crashes 28% but ... """"The broker has retained its 'buy' rating but cut its target price to 905p from 970p. But that still implies 18% potential upside from current levels."""I think his calculator has broken, more like a 39.6% upside.Games

Re: Looking under valued I, too, have doubled my holding in DGMT. The underlying strategic changes look promising and EPS is only marginally down 1%. The dividend has been increased. According to ii, the PER is under 10. The board has a plan, have reduced debt, claim that the balance sheet is strong and are looking forward to increased profits in 2018. None of this looks like it deserves an sp fall of around 24% but.....I have been wrong before! I recently bought CNCT (ex W H Smith) with a similar story. I am now in profit - just - and looking forward to a 9% dividend, over 6% arriving in February. Not quite as spectacular here but it's still a solid 4%+.Casa.

Re: Looking under valued My low point is now even lower so I reckon I made a good decision. What concerns me is what raised the price to over 700p recently before today's collapse?

Re: Looking under valued Wow! Unfortunately "the worst" has arrived. I bought a few of DMGT after a tip by Nick Train so I am in good company. I have read the first part of today's report which is mostly upbeat, belying the actual market response. Maybe this is a buying opportunity?Casa.

Re: Looking under valued I have no idea what causes this share to go up ot down. After a steady decline it has now steadily increased. Naturally to avoid risky exposure I sold one third of my holding at the low point fearing worse to come!

Looking under valued I have bought a few shares in DMGT today as the unpopularity of newsprint media has brought down all newspaper stocks. contrast, the MailOnline is reaching much greater audiences globally than the newspaper ever could. Nick Train of Lindsell Train has a long position here.Casa.

Re: Melanoma That comment was worth rather more than the single uptick I could give it!

Melanoma Settling her libel action for somewhat less than the £4b she was claiming was probably wise, although it would have been fun to see her in court and and questioned by forensic QCs about what "services" she really provided when she was a "model".Settling seems to have done the share price no harm.
