M&S launches its first ever fully vegan meal deal for £8 - including Plant Kitchen No Chicken Kiev made with soya protein and strawberry cheesecake wedges


"Kiev made with soya protein "

Where the soybean goes wrong?
Here at the Gerson Institute, we feel the positive aspects of the soybean are overshadowed by their potential for harm. Soybeans in fact contain a large number of dangerous substances.

Thanks zztop! Hope that is the reason.
It was quite a steep fall on an up day.

Do we know the reason for the steep fall?
Something on the news?

MARKS share price fallen back suggests shareholders now rethinking the outlook which accordinng to most market forecasts suggests a long wait before decent earnings!

MARKS could be due a sharp correction be warned.

John Redwood@johnredwood58mJust get on with relaxing the lockdown. Vaccines have brought the serious cases and deaths right down which is what matters.

Most recent Broker upgrades after the results are overweight and a buy too 200p and 233p.
166p looks cheap.
Retail have lagged the market over the last 18 months but with a Tsunami
Of pent up spending power we may see an unprecedented bounce .
The counter (pun intended ) view may be that the high Street shop like Deb's are going the way of all flesh.
However in the case of M&S their refocusing on a very lucrative almost niche food market will prove to be
a winning combination especially when they've teamed up with companies like BP.
My friends son-in-law is a shop fitter and has been fully employed by M&S for several years now establishing M&S food outlets everywhere. If it hadn't been for the Pandemic I believe we would already be seeing significant growth.
Getting the clothing and household merch right is becoming a side line. Kinda the opposite way round for the likes of Ali and lidl.
Good Luck.

Communist China Germ Warfare Update:


The UK housing crisis that’s about to hit will be entirely the result of government policy

As England's coronavirus eviction ban comes to an end on Monday, around a million households fear losing their homes, a charity says.

About 400,000 renters have had eviction notices or been told to expect them, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation says.

John Redwood@johnredwood5hThe Today programme joining in with the bizarre BBC view that intense and often unfair competition to U.K. farms from the EU is fine but Free trade with the rest of the world will be damaging. Can they not see their own bias In these contradictions?.... John Redwood

Think MKS avoid this stuff....... The food delivery market is a bike crash waiting to happenFar too much money is crowding into a small market with far too many players in it alreadyMATTHEW LYNN30 May 2021 • 11:00am??Tesco is launching Whoosh, a one hour delivery service that will bring groceries to your door almost before you have even closed down the app. It's great rival Sainsbury's already has its Chop Chop operation. Meanwhile Waitrose has teamed up with Deliveroo to bring groceries to customers in the blink of an eye, and there are a host of start-ups biking stuff around big cities from Weezy to Gorillas to Dija. There is perhaps no hotter sector right now than the Delivery Economy. Everyone wants a piece of a market that is exploding in size.But hold on. In fact, it is a crash waiting to happen. Demand has been artificially boosted by lockdown, but most of us like getting out of our homes occasionally, and will start doing so again as soon as we can.The market is getting far too crowded, and marketing spends are punishing. And new employment regulations are coming down the track that will make it impossible to get away with paying drivers so little..... Daily Telegraph

So Trump was right again..Video

Communist China destroyed the world economy

EXCLUSIVE: COVID-19 'has NO credible natural ancestor' and WAS created by Chinese scientists who then tried to cover their tracks with 'retro-engineering' to make it seem like it naturally arose from bats, explosive new study claims

The study showed there's evidence to suggest Chinese scientists created the virus while working on a Gain of Function project in a Wuhan lab

Gain of Function research, which was temporarily outlawed in the US, involves altering naturally-occurring viruses to make them more infectious in order to study their potential effects on humans

Is the tree shake over yet ? Will we see green Tuesday ?Good Luck.

The market has started to reconsider their views on MARKS and not seeing much eps before 2024 and that is taking in any problems which may happen in the meantime.

I didnt think the rise on the day of results was justified.

MAIL

" To say all the challenges are over would be a gross misstatement. The picture for Clothing & Home remains very tricky. The work being done to streamline the store estate and drag more of the business online must be applauded, but it's too early to call if these gargantuan efforts have simply come too late.

A restructuring effort this intense comes with huge risk, and there's a chance the profit and cash outflows that come with it stretch further into the future than M&S is planning for.

MARKS is of course still standing where DEBENHAMS is no longer around and many DEBS shopers will probably migrate to MARKS.

The market is hoping that the green shoots are here but it will take another year or two to be certain.

IC say it could take while 2014 to see any possitive eps and give a sell rating

"Helped by the shift online during the pandemic, M&S’s online growth accelerated this year, partially offsetting the decline in store sales. Yet even with the revamp in full swing, analysts are still not anticipating earnings per share to return to pre-pandemic levels by 2024, according to the consensus forecast.

The tagline for M&S’ overhaul strategy — 'Never the Same Again' — would seem to underline management's awareness of the company's below-par performance in recent years. A satisfactory online operation has been a long time coming, but filling the website with clothes that shoppers actually want to click on and buy could prove the most difficult step. Investors should wait for more positive signs before turning positive. Sell at 167p."

IC do get things wrong at times but I indicated this would be a long haul. I am actually surprised by the bounce when they have missed market forecasts but that is the mad market at the moment.
