Marks And Spencer Share Discussion Threads

[debsdowner] 15/10/2021 11:46

If the US opens up strong then its a possibility. Bear in mind the markets are already high and with the interims not being far off the marketr will be nervous.

Somteimes things are leaked which affect the share price but MARKS has historically managed to keep things tight ansd surprised the marker both ways at times.

Management have hinted at things improving but the retail sector is worsening so things could easily change.

I have to say I wouldnt like to gamble about interim outlook statement at this stage.

Yesterday M&S picked up somewhat after the US open. Do we expect the same today?
Any ideas?

Didnrt take long to gather LIDL has 860 stores and on track for a total of 1,000 by end of 2023.



A bit slower than ALDI but that was a few months ago now they made the press release.

[debsdowner] 15/10/2021 09:59

Humpty,

I will find out what ALDI's plans are when I have time.

As for IP address I cannot see posters going to all the methods you desribe just to get round ADVFN rules.

As for resullts you have been given the date numerous times I think it was 10th or 11th November 2021. Check their corporate diary.

John Redwood@johnredwoodThe EU proposals for the NI Protocol do accept they have damaged the U.K. internal market on trade,breaking the Agreement. They still fail to fix the EU's wish to control NI and to legislate for it against the wishes of the Unionists.

ALDI looking to open 100 more stores in the next 2 years which will mean more competition for retailers. I dont know what LIDL's plans are but I suspect they wont be far behind.



Sooner or later some supermarkets are going to suffer as money tightens there will be less to go round.

Interesting to see it appears to be rising today after US opens - almost the reverse of BT, which seemed to fall after US opens.
Possible US interest in both companies.

Debsdowner , Your being trolled , you have all the evidence in the posts , obviously you know how to go about dealing with this.

[debsdowner] 14/10/2021 14:52

Humpty, shoesize and QANTAS are totaly different posters you sound paranoid to me. We have had this out before on the DEBENHAMS thread you could check this out with ADVFN if you wanted to and they could do an IP check.

[neilhumphreys] 14/10/2021 13:42

Is that 2 aliases you’ve used today?? Shoesize1 and quantat?

[debsdowner] 14/10/2021 13:37

Yes they will be interesting. I think John Lewis could have done better last year.

[qantas] 14/10/2021 13:10

debsdowner we have to get ready for Christmas adverts soon.

[netcurtains] 14/10/2021 13:01

ASOS going up now.

Come on M&S -

Madness.

[netcurtains] 14/10/2021 11:47

Whitbread share price going up loads this morning.
People are booking rooms near M&S stores so they can get their Christmas clothes early.
M&S are booming but of course there is only so much money in the City, that big pile has gone on Whitbread today. Tomorrow will probably be M&S again

[shoesize19] 14/10/2021 10:40

Its a flying visit today.
Debsdowner
That Numpty Humpty is giving you some stick for sure .
Its trolling you .

Nice fall today, on the slide now .

No point buying clothes when utility costs are rapidly rising and lights might go our shorty .

Oh!and UK only has less than 2 weeks gas supplies on stock , and blond Horis on holiday in Spain . when he could have supported the uk economy here in costa Delsol United Kingdom having a holiday in maybe Jaywick with the poor by the sea or Blackpool by the poo sea .

[debsdowner] 14/10/2021 10:08

QANTAS what the hell is that supposed to get people to think? Not sure they should encourage people to take out insurance if the kids go mad at a party and wreck half the house. Muat be the worst JL advert I have ever seen.

[qantas] 14/10/2021 09:52

debsdowner look what I found for you and Robot.

[netcurtains] 14/10/2021 09:03

I suspect MKS is doing really well with its campaign to "Order NOW for Christmas" - must be coining it in.
Timed it SPOT ON!

[netcurtains] 14/10/2021 09:00

Frasers doing well this morning.

Time to grow more of our own foodOCTOBER 14, 2021 POST A COMMENTI notice in my local supermarkets a keen enthusiasm to display the Union flag on many  foods the retailer can claim are home grown. There is a marked reluctance to celebrate the EU origins of continental food with an EU flag, or even to put a Dutch flag on the salad items and a Spanish flag on the vegetables that come from there. This makes it a bit more difficult for home grown food enthusiasts to spot the import. It implies the supermarkets think there are plenty of people who want to buy UK food, but  not enough who will insist on EU food so they seek to disguise it.Our time in the Common Agricultural Policy lost us a lot of market share. As recently as the mid 1980s the UK grew 84% of its own temperate food, but this had slumped to 60% last year. The EU did its best to speed the demise of sections of UK agriculture. They provided grants to remove UK orchards to give continental apples and pears a freer run at our market, on the proviso that the farmer could not replant with new fruit trees. They kept our milk industry short of quota, forcing us to import more higher value products like yoghurt and cheese from the continent. Even pro EU John Major went into battle against the severity of their beef policy in response to an unfortunate outbreak of disease.Now we are free to grow and rear more of our own food we should do so. The Environment Department should make cutting the food miles a crucial part of its green agenda. It should tailor grant schemes to encourage new plantings, investment in mechanised nurture and harvesting, and support for on farm reservoirs and soil improvement programmes. The NFU have raised their standard over the opportunities. The Netherlands supply much of our salad stuff and flowers. They have  no weather advantage over us, so we should get on and invest in competitive production with suitable government assistance of the kind they have enjoyed.It is not a green policy to pay our landowners not to farm our land and then to import our food from hundreds of miles away with the need for so much transport, chilling and packaging to get it to us.....

Food costs will soar 10pc in 'great reset', warns Britain's biggest chicken firmRanjit Boparan warns uncontrollable inflation means a major hike in food prices is now inevitableByMatt Oliver13 October 2021 • 2:24pmBusiness Briefing newsletter?Our daily digest packed with news and analysisSign upThe boss of Britain's biggest chicken producer has warned that shoppers face a "great food reset" in which prices will rise more than 10pc as businesses scramble to adapt to supply chain chaos.Ranjit Boparan, founder of 2 Sisters Food Group, said the days when a family could buy a whole chicken for just £3 were "coming to an end" and suggested consumers must brace for double-digit inflation.He warned that food manufacturers are grappling with a raft of expensive problems and have no choice but to pass the costs on to consumers.Mr Boparan said: "Food is too cheap, there's no point avoiding the issue."In relative terms, a chicken today is cheaper to buy than it was 20 years ago. "How can it be right that a whole chicken costs less than a pint of beer? "You're looking at a different world from now on where the shopper pays more."....
