Why I am still avoiding buying a new sofa…and/or DFS Furniture shares!
Did you see the latest UK retail sales numbers out this morning? Whilst month-on-month sales in August were up 0.4% (versus the -1.2% fall a month earlier), the generally more insightful year-on-year statistic was down 1.4%. I guess the summer weather, holidays and the latest TV/internet excitements all had their impacts but, for me, the big multi-year deviation remains between value and volume. Yes, it matters whether you have pricing power or not. And this brings me onto yesterday’s set of numbers from DFS Furniture (DFS).- By Chris Bailey |

Or that loan finance it had said it had secured had not arrived.- By Tom Winnifrith |
