Updated Views on DSK, page-43

Did any of you see the AFR article today on retailers having a better than expected Christmas but expecting a steep drop off in January? Overall sales and foot traffic were up on last year but I was interested to see that Homewares as a category only experienced limited growth (0.7% off memory) compared to electronics etc. so that's probably the category that best describes DSK. Considering how heavily reliant we are on Christmas trading anyway I would imagine that a January/February drop off might be less important to us that other retailers. Just on a side note has anyone done any reading up on Universal? It got a buy rating from a broker in todays paper and I was thinking it might be approximately comparable as another ex PE retailer aimed at a younger market and trading at a beaten up valuation.
