Interesting topic on US retail and how they are dealing with evolutionary trends..



Debenhams, John Lewis and House of Frazer already recognised the shopping "experience" has to change in order to draw customers into stores. All three of those aforementioned have already implemented many changes.

New funds are to be set up to short shopping malls in the US and it would appear the UK is to get more completive still with more US online retailers to move in the UK...



Retailers are already being shorted but it looks like this may get worse still.

Paula Nickold's from John Lewis to send staff to Drama School to try and give store staff more confidence when dealing with customers.

Retail management are getting very concerned now of bricks and mortar stores, if they don't deal with customer issues quickly they face going under.

Yes, when people have less money in pocket, it's furniture & white goods that they put on hold unless they urgently need to replace them. Food & clothes people continue to buy.

Simon the saint templar

That is why M&S stopped selling white goods no money in them....

Top fund manager on the UK retail shares worth buying right now

Alasdair McKinnon, lead manager at The Scottish Investment Trust, writes exclusively for What Investment on the opportunities he is finding in the much-maligned UK retail sector right now.

We see Marks & Spencer as a classic ugly duckling. Its clothing division has been a perennial problem, with sales under relentless pressure. However, we believe the company has begun to turn around under Steve Rowe – an experienced retailer who began his career on the shop floor.

Rowe has already implemented a more appealing pricing strategy. Meanwhile, the company’s food department is still top-notch, and significant investments in IT and logistics infrastructure have created a multi-channel offering that looks well placed to succeed in a digitally driven environment.

While we wait for the shares to reflect this progress, they offer a dividend yield of 5.5% (7% with this year’s special dividend).

john very true best to sit on the hands and not let press any buttons...

[jpjohn1] 13/7/2017 17:17

I have been doing the stock market for 30years now, I have made profit on over 95 % of my purchases using my own judgement, but like all of us I get it wrong sometimes ( just buying to early when its dropping ) I think one of the things I've learnt over the years is don't panic , this is where you can lose the money.

[qantas] 13/7/2017 16:50

john Take no notice of ignorant noble just a wind up artist...

[jpjohn1] 13/7/2017 16:48

I'm not rich, it's the total of purchases I've made and sold. If you add all the purchases you have made yourself over the years think how much it would be !! Since April its £430 k and I'm only a small trader

[qantas] 13/7/2017 16:48

ignorant noble what a load of rubbish perhaps that is what happened to you.

[ignoble] 13/7/2017 16:21

Like most people with £1m , start off with £10m and trade the stock market

:-)

[freedom97] 13/7/2017 15:54

If I had £3 million or even £1m, I wouldn't need to waste time buying & selling shares. Wish I was as rich as you John.

[jpjohn1] 13/7/2017 15:24

Just pleased if it reaches 3.30s with a nice profit. MKS is a quality firm. Over the years I've made many thousands from them. I would rate them in the top 5 for buying and selling to make profit, having bought and sold £3 million + in different company's over the last 3 years
