Time those Qataris picked these up for loose change, vulnerable to a predator bid imo

Many of them already walk down the Edgware Road carrying the iconic Orange carrier bag, so its a logical move for them

I think Sainsbury's have been in the top 100 for nearly 50 years

[spob] 14/8/2019 13:21

nothing stopping two or more companies being booted out at the same time

M&S are in more trouble and more likely to drop out of the FTSE 100.

M&S are currently worth £600mln less then Sainsbury's.

[spob] 14/8/2019 13:11

Sainsbury at 102 according to the above guide


Automatic FTSE 100 boot out price for Sainsbury's is currently very close at 177p !

next index review will be in early September

Any guesses for how long Mr Coupe is going to stick around ?

It must be around 5 years since Justin resigned

Long live King Amazon, the bricks and mortar retail shop is dead...or is it???

At the check out this afternoon I was chatting with this chap who said Amazon has become very expensive and he hasn't bought anything from Amazon for the past year and now does most of his shopping in retail shops.

That got me thinking.

From 2008 to 2014 on average I bought 60 items per year off Amazon. From mid 2018 to mid 2019 I've only bought 1 item off Amazon. Also over the past 1 1/2 year my total on-line spending has gone down my around 90% and I'm buying more and more in retail shops.

STRONG SELL


TARGET £1.68P

Still in the dog house and holding 185p level. At least (STX), (ECO) are performing very well indeed, so I am parking more cash with those two, rather than here.

I think a lot of folk are missing the big attraction of Sainsbury's right now. The first half, and maybe the finals, won't make for attractive reading, but the company is at last making very big efforts to up their game - after the distractions of Asda and Argos. Here's what they said on Q1.

"We are accelerating disciplined, targeted investment in the core supermarket estate and will improve the customer offer in over 400 supermarkets in this financial year.

We completed 84 supermarket improvements in the quarter and will have finished more than 200 by the end of the first half"

That disruption's bound to cause a loss of sales, as Q1 showed, but it's investing for the future and now might be the time to buy.

[tradejunkie2] 10/8/2019 18:06

Just been to Sainsbury's taken a dump at their toilets best of all supermarkets.

[loganair] 10/8/2019 12:58

What I have seen of shop pickers in the supermarkets they just take the first item off the shelf, not even looking to see if the item is alright or has a good date on it.

[imperial3] 10/8/2019 11:23

I wish to add that I had this experience at my local Tesco,where I do the bulk of my shopping.

[imperial3] 10/8/2019 11:05

That may suit many people,but not me.I like to look at my fresh fruit and vegetables before I buy,as some have relatively short shelf lives.I do not want to see the first stages of them going off with tell tale marks.Examples are broccoli,cauliflower and strawberries.Time and time again,I have seen these on display when they should have been removed.With yoghurts and milk,for instance,I want to see the latest sell by dates.These are just a few that spring to mind.I for one,to not wish to rely on a stock picker for my shopping.Do you really think they are going to be fastidious,when they have so many orders to get through?! There is nothing that can beat one's own selection.No thanks,on line is not for me.

For example, when I buy clothes I like to feel what the material feels like. Shoes I like to try on and as for the little ones, I like to make sure their feet are properly measured and then to have properly fitted shoes.

I only buy a very few things on-line such as USBs, Flash Drives or Cameras etc every thing else I go into a bricks and mortar retail shop to buy.

When I hear about UK city centres failing this very much rings a bell "Thanks to various councils we have no parking in Dalton to encourage new shops to open. The Co op is a very nice shop with friendly staff. Thank goodness it is there. Some people do not have cars to travel."

My local city centre is so desperate to move cars to the park and ride which is a good 2 miles out side of the city centre that the council has closed 50% of the inner city parking spaces. For the parking spaces that are left costs over £5 to park for 4 hours.

I for one, in the wet with bags of shopping do not want want to walk down to the bus station, then take a 2 miles bus ride with all my shopping, then another walk around a huge car park looking for my car.

Because I live at the other end to where the park and ride is I either have to drive 6 miles to get there when it was just a 2 miles drive into the city centre or pay £12 return on the local bus for the family after a half mile walk to the bus stop with by bags in the wet.

My local city centre use to have small car parks dotted all round the city centre, which have been closed and sold off to build on.

If Private Equity made a bid, they would load Sainsbury's up with massive amount of debt, sell and lease back any free holds Sainsbury's may have then re-list on the stock market.
