Analysts at UBS (UBS) have made a bullish prediction for UK stock market and sterling pound in 2021 following Brexit deal. The bank said in a note on Tuesday that the outlook for UK equities has never been brighter."The UK is one of our favoured global equity markets, particularly from an unhedged perspective as we suspect a large proportion of the return for international investors will come from the strengthening currency – our FX strategists target GBP/USD 1.44 by end-2021," said Nick Nelson, head of European equity strategy at UBS, in a research note."Including the 3.9% dividend yield, this would point to a 21% total USD return from the current level of the FTSE 100 (^FTSE)."The outlook would have been much far worse in a no-deal scenario, said UBS, "we would have had a far weaker GBP, and in USD terms, UK equities would not be a favoured market."USB created an Evidence Lab's Deep Theme Explorer to gauge sentiment around Brexit and track the major sectors and stocks that have been the most exposed over the last few years.READ MORE: Nearly '80% of UK adults' will carry debt into 2021Through this research, it found an upside to UK equities, with a positive correlation to net Brexit sentiment, particularly to those with more exposure to domestic cyclical shocks, such as Barratt (BDEV.L), Bellway (BWY.L), and Lloyds (LLOY.L). On the flip side, those with international exposure, such as Glaxosmithkline (GSK.L), Unilever (ULVR.L) and Reckitt Benckiser (RB.L) outperformed when there was negative sentiment.... Yahoo Finance

Every retailer has had a tough Christmas. That is a given across the entire retail sector. All results are going to be awful. You will learn nothing from the fact that M&S results will be awful.

In such an environment Investors need to ask themselves 2 questions: -

1. Does this company survive? If the answer is "No" then leave well alone.

2. If the answer to 1. is "Yes" then given the beating that the shares of the retailer has received at the hands of COVID, does the price of said shares represent a bargain on an historical basis?

My view here - M&S survives and is a great brand at an historically cheap price.

As Warren Buffet says "buy the great company with temporary problems"

You would be surprised how many people justify themselves on bulletin boards and social media even Presidents do such as twitter.

[debsdowner] 29/12/2020 11:53

robot,

Strangely enough I looked at their net worth yesterday and its probably over a billion. One of the x Dragons Duncan Bannatyne was probably the wealthiest but as he is in hotels and gyms his worth will be a lot less now.

QANTAS

They can indeed be greedy at times but not all the ventures they take on work otherwise we would hear more. A few have worked out and been sold since.

Tez Lavani quite wealthy but his family also were, Peter Jones is worth some £400 million or there about. I actually thought Debra Meadon was worth more but not according to what I had read.

[alan@bj] 29/12/2020 11:50

If I was worth £40m I wouldn't be wasting so much time attempting to justify my opinion on a bulletin board.

Robot those Dragons are terrible wanting everything cheap..

[undervaluedassets] 29/12/2020 09:45

it would seem to me that the collapse of Debenhams will play out nicely here.

"It's an ill wind.." etc etc

Debsdowner..

You are a funny creature. Is this all you do ... pour scorn on MKS stock?

[robot ic1] 29/12/2020 09:39

Qantas and Debsdowner , Good morning to you.

The 5 Dragons net worth is not a long way short of a billion.

Didn't they do well.

Breakdown in footfall figures

[debsdowner] 29/12/2020 08:41

Worth approximately £40 million and you are probably correct with wardrobes full of clothes so not difficult to sustain 12 months of not buying clothes.

Market up probably due to BREXIT but as mentioned on BBC footfall down and there will be more to come. Lloyds and Barclays down.

[qantas] 29/12/2020 08:25

debsdowner she is so rich and probably has rooms full of cloths.

[debsdowner] 28/12/2020 17:00

Debora Meadon from Dragons Den pledged to not buy clothes for a year and she does so apart from 1 pair of trainers

[debsdowner] 28/12/2020 16:25

Shocking rise in corona infections of 41,345

[debsdowner] 28/12/2020 15:13

Footfall down 60% on Boxing day and 90% in London




This is disastrous news for retailers as they rely on promotions instore to get people to spend more money.

Instead the public will be buying entertainment stuff which may suit PC World but white stuff lower margin in any event.

Clothes will be left on the shelves instore and the retailers stuck with unsold stock.

I suspect even food stores will have lots of waste this year as less people instore.

Steve222, Liverpool, United Kingdom, 12 minutes agoThis article isn't just about the 4 businesses that they've used as examples. This is about hundreds - possibly thousands of small, independent businesses - such as coffee shops, book shops, clothing shops, sandwich shops, restaurants, etc - that have been drive to to the wall - NOT by Covid19 - but by Lockdowns imposed by the GOVERNMENT. And Lockdowns which have all failed to contain the virus, only possibly slowing down the spread a little.... A comment from that previous Daily Mail article.

[zztop] 28/12/2020 12:51

Virus doesn't close businesses the government does that

[zztop] 28/12/2020 12:47

All the shops disappear ing from the high street were going anywayWay way before any restrictions from a corrupt government So daily mail is fake news
