[portside1] 16/1/2017 15:58

how can any one buy shares in a company when the management do not give a toss its just job to the manage ment at Tesco and will just walk away when they milked it
for they own ends

lewis as not made one good statement in 2.6 months nothing

[diku] 16/1/2017 15:45

And if the shares fell down 43% tomorrow?...

[vaneric1] 16/1/2017 15:42

So far my shareholding is 43% up so I could sell today and walk away content if I so wished.

[diku] 16/1/2017 15:39

If you thought you own the company you are very much mistaken....you only own the paper & you are given a number!!!...insiders are the true owners as they have info at their finger tips....they control the day to day workings of the company..

[vaneric1] 16/1/2017 15:36

Directors are employees, shareholders are the owners, employees are not required to buy shares in the company they work for.

[portside1] 16/1/2017 15:32

dave lewis is only their for what he can milk it then gone

[diku] 16/1/2017 15:04

Yes if Directors don't buy any shares out of their own pocket in the company they serve ... then why should the joe punters...

[portside1] 16/1/2017 14:52

analyst comments on Tesco it tells you all that the directors have no faith in their company they are not buying their shares via their cash .
that says they have no faith in their management of Tesco

[portside1] 16/1/2017 09:31

not one director at Tesco as bought shares out of is money in 2 years just milking the free ones with remuneration friends scathing each others backs . then they leve for the next milk man

[portside1] 16/1/2017 09:19

LEWIS gave no clarity on anything , poor statement and appears that investors are worthless in is view

[portside1] 16/1/2017 09:17

diku . yes I sold the day before results knowing that some one had been given inside info which proved correct that is why the share price fell before results and the dead statement from a dead ceo .
and as I said bought more CNA AT 226P I NOW HAVE A LOT OF CNA AVGE 207P
DIV OVER 6% IF THEY GO TO 248P WILL THEN SELL AND WAIT

[diku] 16/1/2017 09:10

When a company of such size goes through hard times & a new CEO gets appointed how easy is it to do costing cutting here & there & everywhere?....the figures will show improvements & the markets get excited!!.... & the CEO gets all the credit/free shares call it what you like...this is one merry go round that repeats just like a washing machine cycle...who are these guys that approve insiders perks/contracts?..

Oh and what is the latest on that accounting debacle?...anybody held accountable for incompetence...

[portside1] 16/1/2017 09:02

wrong , Tesco when are they going claw back bonuses from pre directors for lying about profit
if onvestors are not getting rewarded then they should only pay bonuses when the jb is done not on rumours of job done

kewis needs to start speaking to investors ot to dead employees who no nothing

[chris coxon] 16/1/2017 08:46

porty oh porty, you bemoan the share price and the crooked Directors, yet avoid the blindingly obvious, it was your choice to invest in the Co.
You're the same moaning minny on all Bds where you contribute your wisdom.

[diku] 14/1/2017 21:32

graham....its already sorted...you just too late to the party...don't make a mountain out of a molehill...

[cocker] 14/1/2017 18:59

Well said Graham

[grahamburn] 14/1/2017 18:38

The quality of information imparted by some posters on here is abysmal and misleading.

Just for the record, the Director resigning is NOT Dave Lewis (he was Richard Cousins) and he was NOT an Executive Director (just a Non Exec who had only been on the board for a couple of years and has the CEO position in another major PLC - Compass Group - which may well have been the reason for him resigning especially as a few months before he became a member of the Tesco board he had resigned as a Non Exec on another board for that very reason).

The suspicion that private investors are being kept out of the loop etc etc, especially given the fantasies dreamt up by some on here is laughable, as well as probably sad in terms of their abilities as investors.

More for the filter...........

[staylow1] 14/1/2017 15:33

Alibx, total agree on all of your points. Long term, I don't doubt Tesco will be the winner of all the big four.

[alibx11] 14/1/2017 14:43

Thanks for clearing that up a bit but you have to understand that private investors always have to trade on hope, don't matter how good a company is if institutions and MM's choose to run it down to fill an order that makes them money then no private buyer can make a difference, we're along for the ride.

All you can do is hope you've got on board as the shares head in the right direction for you.

News nearly always leaks out ahead of time, a nod here a wink there, we'll never be in the club, laws of nature I'm afraid.

Cost cutting is not a bad thing, it's thinking and planning ahead as far as I'm concerned.

8 months of conseq. growth, increased market share, I'm holding for a while yet, nothing in the update or the recent trading has me in anyway concerned.

[staylow1] 14/1/2017 11:41

Think of my comments more referring to the trading update as oppose to the long term direction of Tesco. That's where I was to be in and out, even if it'd "gone to the moon" on the update I wouldn't if held long after. It was just a few noteworthy points along the way in terms from upcoming trading updates.

[diku] 14/1/2017 11:25

alibx11...just wondering if you have misunderstood post 18614...the Director leaving is not DL but one of the other Executive Director...just the timing of Director departure news ahead of trading update tend to bring doubters...
