I think people have had enough of their rising food prices.

Kantar survey... FT Alphaville comment

One interesting footnote here is M&S ..where food sales gains accelerated to 5.1%, from 3.5% previously.

That might just be small number noise. Or it might be management pushing to hit figures by doing more "£10 for two and a bottle of wine" offers each week.

Market seems to be ignoring it whichever way.

Inflation rose to 3.1% in November, the highest in nearly six years, as the squeeze on households continued.

Chart suggests next leg down begins

[freedom97] 11/12/2017 16:15

Agree phil.

I see Shorts over 0.5% continuing to close, now at 9.61% lowest for ages, remember was 11.27% on 1 Dec.

The shareprice has gone nowhere in the last eighteen months , but the dividend has been well worth banking . Suits me fine to carry on like this with MKS :-)

If I had the balls I would sell all my retail stock at a loss for it can only get worse!!

'2017 set to be worst year for UK consumer spending since 2012, Visa says'

The City is beginning to talk excitedly about the prospect of a flurry of deals in UK retail as many of the big names seriously struggle, with the tipping being the expected green light for Tesco's takeover of wholesaler Booker. A tie-up between Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury’s is one, but senior retailers insist almost anything is possible in the current climate, involving Next, Morrisons, Asda or the long-rumoured merger of Debenhams and House of Fraser. - Sunday Telegraph

Message to Archie - Stock control bloody useless - Cold snap and long wool rich stocks only available in black - or navy - Natural which is my choice only in 6-7½ and too small




Memo to fans of M&S -- Suggest sell - If I have to go elsewhere for socks I will possibly buy rest of outfit elsewhere !!!!!!!!

[philanderer] 08/12/2017 14:52

Yep, a good week free :-D

[freedom97] 08/12/2017 14:09

Yes, that's true phil, good to see the share price heading north this week.

Those with shorts under & over 0.5% will be worried if share price continues going up.

[philanderer] 08/12/2017 13:51

free, it's impossible to see the total shorts on that site as they only show those short holders that are 0.5% and above. There may be hundreds that are under 0.5% short and you wouldn't know.

[freedom97] 08/12/2017 13:10

I see Shorts being closed this week, was at 11.27% on 1 Dec., now 10:20%:

Market report: Retailers prove a mixed bag as City mulls tips on Christmas winners


Christmas is still more than two weeks away, but that’s not stopped the City from betting on this year’s crackers and turkeys in the retail sector.

Deutsche Bank’s 29-page analysis of European retailers predicts another mixed bag of Christmas trading updates, with firms at the value end likely to have done the best.

The bank’s top picks remain Primark owner Associated British Foods, B&M and Boohoo, with clothing retailers — including Marks & Spencer and Next — under pressure after a difficult autumn.

'British Airways to continue charging for food in short-haul economy class'


British Airways will not revert to complimentary catering for short-haul economy passengers, the airline’s chief executive has said.

In January, Mr Cruz ended BA’s long-established practice of providing drinks and food free of charge to all passengers. The airline brought in Marks & Spencer to provide sandwiches starting at £3.90, while the traditional inflight gin-and-tonic is priced at £6.

When GS says sell, they want you to sell so they can buy your shares.

[tjbird] 05/12/2017 09:31

Funny how GS appear with bearish noise and share price goes mad as buys pour in
Someone would say they are manipulating things
