I'm not sure that MARS does "exciting" but it fits the bill for a certain type of investor. I'm now in drawdown on my SIPP and, alongside bonds which underpin a basic level of income, I hold MARS which I see as providing steadily growing income with solid asset-backing which should at least protect against inflationary erosion.

As expected a 10%rise in profits and a great divi in February
We should get back in to the 170p+ Range

All in all a great company well done to the directors and these margins make us very appealing to the major institutions

Watch this space exciting times ahead any bid must start at minimum 172p

Nice results, so the share price should plummet.

Looking for a 10% increase in profits to be reported this Thursday

¨today's further lurch down¨could be due to read-across from MAB´s profit warning today -

[bbonsall] 22/9/2015 11:53

What has happened since June? Have people stopped going out to eat and drink? Not from my personal experience. share price on downtrend since June, ridiculous really, summer too! Now today's further lurch down.

That rising proportion in the shops is because the public have more money to spend whilst mortgages are low. Wait until the interest rates start rising again.

Yes redartbmund, and they know when they are on to a good thing... until the bubble bursts of course.

Beer bubble: how price of a pint has risen twenty-fold
As a study shows near 2,000pc rise in price of beer over four decades, economists warn that growing portion of take-home pay is being devoured by basic spending in shops, pubs and at petrol pump




Affordable beer ?, yes, if your buying your beer with gold!

Vast majority of shareholders are institutions. They would vote for a stuffed donkey if asked to!

[spacecake] 14/9/2015 16:55

Run more for the board and voted for and approved by the shareholders !!

[redartbmud] 02/9/2015 19:25

Yes. Mars is being run more for the board than the shareholders!

It is indeed petty cash @ 76p per share - the price paid by the two exec directors in exercise of options under the 2010 5 Year SAYE Plan - so that's doubled their money straightaway. Only Catherine Glickman paid full whack.

[redartbmud] 02/9/2015 11:33

With what they are paid it should be 6,560,400 shares. 65k is petty cash to them.

[spacecake] 02/9/2015 11:16

Thats three directors in for a total of 65,604 shares.
