GOLD is falling .... same as MKS

And will be till the USA does another QE

Commodity stocks not the place to be and haven't for the last 2 years


Re MKS .... serious money needs to be spent to revamp and re-energize the brand

We are talking £2m per store plus an extended advertising campaign running into £50m plus

"The retail environment at Marks & Spencer simply isn't inviting or exciting any more. It doesn't appeal to anyone. The whole world was once at their feet, and they simply let it walk on by because they didn't make the effort to move on with their customer. Even if they are the only fashion retailer in a town, they can't assume that women will shop there any more, because those women know they can buy online.

"Just having that many doors on the high street doesn't give them a captive audience and they have to stop the rot. I've seen what the closure of Woolworths did to the British high street, and M&S would be an absolute disaster. It's not too late to do something, but it needs to be drastic."

retailers firming today

I don't see MKS share price doing well this side of Xmas. Could be 10-20% downside yet. Recent support has broken.

( Buywell, noticed your massive losses on the recent $44 rise in gold , you should avoid trading gold short).

racing away now

When is that 11p dividend paid?

[buywell2] 12/7/2012 18:33

The USA could fall 15% as OIL drops to $75 in October is my take ...

Pharma Biotech will be a safe haven in my opinion

Good Quality Small Cap stocks in the right sector are the best to be looking for say the experts.

If the USA markets do take a 15% hit ..... and MKS is standing at 300p when that happens then MKS could hit 250p or even less chartwise

I would NOT be in ANY retail stock just now

280 on it's way

[essentialinvestor] 11/7/2012 17:19

It would need a profits warning to take it down to 2.60 imo,
unless equity markets tank.

[old crow] 11/7/2012 17:10

Even though am holding expecting drop down to 260/280 and then recover.

[buywell2] 11/7/2012 16:25

Bit of a kicking today

Might go on for another day or too though

The replacement don't look to be any better than the one given the push

Chartwise it looks like in a couple of months say August time

Which would tie in you will note with the 2011 move down also

[buywell2] 11/7/2012 13:14

yes they were kind yesterday ..... but some overnight thinking has resulted in second thoughts today

[essentialinvestor] 11/7/2012 10:59

buywell I thought the market reaction yesterday was very very kind.

[buywell2] 11/7/2012 10:55

The slide begins

M&S is going nowhere and management has no clue. Chief executive Marc Bolland (someone with grocery background to manage fashion) will be out in two years and it is back to the drawing board with new management then. Everyone knows it will happen - the next two years are just waiting for the inevitable; before shareholders dare to force the hand of the board.

Furious shareholders tell Marks & Spencer boss: You're the Bob Diamond of retail

[snatander] 10/7/2012 19:19

Next might bid for M&S - heard that when i went for a beer at lunchtime. Prob nonsense but would make great sense

Expats in China have reason to cheer with British favourite Marks & Spencer announcing it is aggressively expanding across the Middle Kingdom.
The UK retailer took four years to open eight stores in China but has now announced it will double this number within the next 12 months.

The non food update is dire imv, compare this to NXT or DEB.

International growth? - what has happened there with the multiple extra outlet opened.

[snatander] 10/7/2012 13:26

oh so good, 360p then 400p
