The market does not have much faith MJB. Store prices too high for lower grade
products.

Broker Charles Stanley Morning Note..........

Marks & Spencer (MKS: 469.5p) has managed to put on a short 4% over the last couple of
sessions (on decent volumes) and this is worth highlighting since it coincides with a
successful test of the uptrend that began just over a year ago. The fact that this reversal
coincides with the appearance of bullish divergence on the 14-day RSI seems to suggest that
there could be scope for yet more upside in the short to medium term, with 480p or so as the
next target.

Looks like MKS as found support and rising from a double bottom pattern. share price targets are resistance lines to be taken out on the chart. The oscillators are looking very bullish.

The company reports on the 10th of April a Trading Statement.

Well you may think your historic join the dots chart is good, but what about this.
I can give you every winner on yesterday`s Cheltenham card, and that`s about as much good.

[leadersoffice] 13/3/2014 11:05

Possibly... I sold some at £5.06
Keeping a look out out if they drop below £4.40 will be back

[wernluck] 13/3/2014 10:31

great short set up in MKS
maybe a bit more to go?

Struggling M&S chief Marc Bolland gets job selling Britain as he is appointed a Government's business ambassador

"Good idea, appoint a proven failure."
"It's unreal, you couldn't make up stuff like this. Fails at his own job for three consecutive years, but gets made an ambassador for Britain. Is he an old school chum of Dave's?"

I'm long. Theres been to much negativity for to long, I think the tide is turning. Its a buy from me.

[thecroots] 24/1/2014 07:33

Still cant see how they can turn things around in the short term. There shops seem quite and not sure if online is their bag.

I cant see this other than a falling ship in my opinion

[casholaa] 23/1/2014 20:50

Yeah I read that too. Things are looking up. Spring collection must be about here too.

[leadersoffice] 23/1/2014 18:11

Nice little write up in todays evening standard.
The broker Note was entitled "The great beyond" lol

I have to say, I'm a little surprised to say the least but clearly someone has confidence in them to reach £5.70!! No likelihood of a white knight just yet partially because of the pension liabilities, but doesn't rule out some change at the top table. Possible upside of 40% pre tax profits over the next three years.
