Don't panic it's divi day 16p

[philanderer] 02/6/2016 08:21

Not quite all stripped out then, around 3p to the good so far.

Morning all.

[leadersoffice] 02/6/2016 08:17

Just topped up

Filin my boots wit M and S share, vely cheep

[harvester] 01/6/2016 23:23

Bought over last few days several small lots of MKS at a range of prices paying as much as 400 and as little today( near close) as 369.3 .
Price drop seems overdone.
No-one can predict exact short-term price moves for sure but I can be certain of the cash income which comes with the divi and special divi .
Sharp price drop seems likely tomorrow but hopefully they will not sell MKS for £1 ( the sale price of BHS before bankruptcy) . lol
Bears & shorters have the upper hand at the moment but eventually that will result in a bear squeeze and sharp reversal . I can afford to wait for that , however long it will take .

Apparently its feedback from their focus groups, the music is not liked,
the share price is loathed )

[diku] 01/6/2016 22:02

Maybe it was just the wrong kind of music/tune!...

[philanderer] 01/6/2016 21:20

Just seen that press release from MKS today, going to turn off all the in-store piped music to win back customers. Yes but no. But WTF are this lot playing at ????

[diku] 01/6/2016 20:19

HSBC shares actually went up after going ex divi with the general market rise over a week ago...

Could MKS and SBRY get together?....

[robertfaulkner] 01/6/2016 18:56

Will it open at 354.7 (closing price - 16.5p div) or will punters want to get in to catch any rise and stop the full ex div drop?

Would most punters want to buy lower without the div to wait for and pay tax on?

[essentialinvestor] 01/6/2016 16:29

Bounced from the 3.50 XD, helped a little by he UKX, perhaps that
should be "bounced"!, its all relative.
That was my add level but tbh could not bring myself to buy,
bought a few KGF instead on the dip.

[freedom97] 01/6/2016 16:12

Don't think the drop today is linked to SBRY, look at TSCO been up all day. I think just following the FTSE100 same pattern. Also same chart pattern as NXT see chart in header.

Way oversold here imo. Still that big GAP to fill from 440 too. ;o)

[philanderer] 01/6/2016 15:46

Maybe the food side taking the hit today as well on the read across from SBRY on that Kantar / Nielsen survey. Can't win with this fella at the moment.

[essentialinvestor] 01/6/2016 14:39

That is 3.50 XD atm.

[eisler] 01/6/2016 13:49

If you re-read my post, you will see I predict another 30p off tomorrow - not that it will be at 330. Obviously this depends on where it finishes today - both, the way it's tanking, could be correct. I am confident that it will be as low as 330 by Friday, whatever happens between now and then.

[essentialinvestor] 01/6/2016 13:29

Thats all I need ) - your timing than mine in fairness.

[muffinhead] 01/6/2016 13:28

buying a few here

[diku] 01/6/2016 13:19

Today's action is a bit overdone....rejigging of divi positions going on...RSI grossly oversold...

[essentialinvestor] 01/6/2016 13:02

You may be getting a little carried away with 3.30 tomorrow,
markets could crash so anything is possible, unlikely though.

[eisler] 01/6/2016 12:51

Expect a further 30p off tomorrow. Likely to be 330 by the end of the week.

[leonidas] 01/6/2016 12:05

but be careful tomorrow they may go down by the ex divi by as much as 16.4p

[essentialinvestor] 01/6/2016 12:00

Anytime before today's close.

[batham1] 01/6/2016 11:58

So can buy today and still get the divi or is it already xd hence the further fall?

[essentialinvestor] 01/6/2016 11:21

mike, near 0 chance of a a takeover imv, there was a very outside
possibility of big Phil coming back, but with recent events that is
a non starter, he would not want that level of scrutiny.

[miikke] 01/6/2016 11:03

Takeover time on its way if this fall continues- hope the board don't make the same mistake some are saying the Premier Foods board made...any views?
