Just adding to your post Nobilis

When an investor or trader enters a short position, he or she does so with the intention of profiting from falling prices. This is the opposite of a traditional long position where an investor hopes to profit from a rising market.

A brokerage firm lends shares or contracts to the customer who engages in the short sale. The firm uses its own inventory, another customer's margin account or another lender to supply the shares or contracts to the shorting customer. The customer typically pays interest on the loan, and if a borrowed stock pays a dividend, the customer is also responsible for paying the original owner the value of the dividends

Broker Peel Hunt said: “We think that M&S is doing a lot of the right things and that, in a tough market, the shopper is responding relatively well.”

When I turned my radio on just before 1pm I heard on R4 them talking about M&S. I missed the main programme only caught the end, but one women contacted them saying she loves M&S because they cater for the larger size women, and have a very good range.

Well, with more & more women putting on weight. Just walk around any town/city, and you'll know what I mean. M&S is certainly going to attract more business.

final dividend of 11.9p ex on 2 June


Anyone short then is going to have to find a heap of money to pay that dividend back

There will also be buying pressure from instis who want to collect that dividend

[philanderer] 24/5/2017 08:39

Promising :-)

[freedom97] 24/5/2017 08:39

The drop earlier caused by UKX dropping first thing, not the results, check the charts above same for NXT too. Should close up today imo.

[boraki] 24/5/2017 08:39

There is a rising tide coming

[stever705] 24/5/2017 08:36

And now up a penny - missed a trick there

[boraki] 24/5/2017 08:34

£4.00 by end of the day, IMHO

[diku] 24/5/2017 08:17

Hope it stays above 380p...for another crack at 400p..

[stever705] 24/5/2017 08:09

[diku] 24/5/2017 07:50

Any indicative opening price from SB?...

[boraki] 24/5/2017 07:40

:-)
