If they keep chucking off cash and buying back shares im happy sooner or later the business will turn around and meanwhile i get a nice dividend

[essentialinvestor] 04/1/2016 09:25

Well wound not expect anything like that this time imv.

Sub £4 is a possibility however may need the UKX near the 2015 lows,
just my take.

Expectations are already dire.

its all in the price, its not new news
last time it was sold off it then bounced 100p in a week

[aussiedonnie] 04/1/2016 09:11

Thankfully I only bought 1,000 shares, what a brutal open (

Expectations are clearly dire on the non food side,
so it's a case of whether the actuality is now even worse.

Big Phil eh, doubt he would pay anything like that myself.

Amber Day was one of the first shares I ever bought, his retail discount
venture, before discount became a major retail theme - a long time
ago now.

Philip bid coming back with unfinished business and a 700p bid in 2016 i reckon

hes an old git but has just raised a pile of money

[essentialinvestor] 24/12/2015 09:57

Brooklands rammed yesterday Phil, but would imagine that must be one
of their most profitable stores outside of London.

RIO looking a little better than this day last week, but sense there is
another drop coming.

Shooting up

[philanderer] 23/12/2015 20:30

Evening EI , that`s got to change . Pretty obvious that the big city boys are not happy with the way the company is being run. Short odds now for Bolland being replaced.

I shall be checking out the M&S stores in Budapest over the holiday period ;-)

Depends on margins, food is strong, non food performance is woeful
and how directors can collect multi million £ salaries on that is shocking imv,
however that is the way it is.

'Marks & Spencer senior director extends maternity leave'

Laura Wade-Gery was due to return to work in January, but will now take a full year’s leave, as the retailer’s shares slip on Christmas trading worries

One of Marks & Spencer’s most senior directors has extended her maternity leave by eight months having previously stated she would return to the business in early January.

The retailer said on Wednesday that Laura Wade-Gery, executive director, multichannel, will now return to the firm on 1 September, taking her full one-year entitlement to maternity leave.

M&S initially informed the stock market of Wade-Gery’s impending absence in August.

Until her return, Helen Weir, the firm’s chief financial officer, will maintain responsibility for e-commerce distribution, while Sacha Berendji, director of retail, and David Walmsley, director of M&S.com, will continue to report to the chief executive, Marc Bolland.

Wade-Gery has been tipped in the past by some as a possible successor to Bolland, although her star waned somewhat last year when M&S’s new online platform got off to a shaky start.

Shares in M&S have fallen 12% over the past month due to Christmas trading concerns. A second poor Christmas in a row is expected to put Bolland’s position in question after five years in the job.

M&S is due to publish a third-quarter trading update on 7 January.
