Consumer confidence has dropped for the third month in a row in a worrying turn for retailers in the build-up to Christmas.

GfK’s long-running Consumer Confidence Index fell four points to minus 17 in October against a backdrop of surging inflation and the likelihood of interest rate rises.

The sharpest concern is how consumers see the future economy, with this collapsing 10 points this month in a repeat of September’s figure.

Humpty,

You were possitive MARKS a while ago now gone negative, which suggests you have sold?

In the meantime Uniliver warning on cost inflations which will eat into peoples cash:

[neilhumphreys] 21/10/2021 13:05

Net, precisely !!! So why would you two weeks ago ask when are their half year results??? !!!! How can thick people like you even get onto websites?! That’s what intrigues me! Prior to you asking that ridiculous question the date had been mentioned on here dozens of times !!!

But prior to half year results this share price will drift to below a quid ! Covid will frighten the life out of investors!

[netcurtains] 21/10/2021 12:41

Neil you've been writing here for ages and you're trying to tell me you haven't a clue about M&S????

Blimy.

[neilhumphreys] 21/10/2021 12:29

Net that simply doesn’t work does it! Your theory depends on market makers buying Mks at a higher price which limits how many units they can buy and uses more of their cash!

I know you’re slow but get a grip!

P.s Do you know when the Mks half years financial results come out? The date????

[neilhumphreys] 21/10/2021 12:25

In other news vaguely linked to Mks the Norther Irish church disappointed a 95 year frail old woman wasn’t able to fly to their made up church service to commemorate and celebrate the partition of Ireland and their victory in this divide through only essential violence.

On the other hand, if the price is meaningless, traders could buy them at a much higher price and still get them to rise 30%.
They can set whatever price they want (within reason).

Anyway, fundamentally M&S is a FTSE 100 stock on the conveyorbelt back towards the FTSE100. It will get there eventually.

New Zealand farmers use environmental controlled methods with their lambs as they maximise meat yield by keeping lambs alive until 12 years old and have gas suckers attached to the sheep’s anal passage whilst they grow, this gas is bottled and sold on to utility companies. So this NZ lamb if far more superior than UK stock.

[neilhumphreys] 21/10/2021 12:09

Stock markets across the world are likely to correct themselves incentivised by hungry market makers looking to make up their year end bonuses. Obviously it’s essential investors sell their shares so traders can buy back cheaply. Correction could be -30%

[neilhumphreys] 21/10/2021 12:05

Briton’s get prepared to have half a side of New Zealand lamb slapped onto Christmas dinner table which has been previously frozen for the last 25 years in deep frozen chambers somewhere in the outback. Yummy.

No issue with HGV drivers getting the NZ lamb to your table as it will be dropped on your dwelling using a small automated flying machines, and use of a very large ship from NZ stationed in the Irish Sea. The ship will hold the lamb at frozen temperatures and up to 50 million lambs per ship.

Judging by the Mks Sp movement in early trade we could see even lower moves towards 80-85p soon. If government moves to stay at home etc

With climate change catastrophe prevention comes costs that we greedy humans need to pay for. We’ve had the fun for the last 250 years and now the party is over and destruction is all around. I see commune type homes being normal as we share utilities and food for lower income families. There could be up to 50-60 families living together to help contribute to climate change. African, Indian, Asian populations will migrate to Northern Europe as climate change makes it impossible for them to live in their home countries. UK for example could increase to 150 million population. Motorways and large spaces used for makeshift shanty towns for commune communities.

Could marks drift to 150-160 levels or lower due to fear of covid?

[neilhumphreys] 21/10/2021 11:18

Debb’s duck,

Can you read? CPI overall inflation is 3.1 per cent in September down from 3.2 per cent in August.

Let’s celebrate!!!

But supermarket price wars in October is likely to push deflation.

[netcurtains] 21/10/2021 10:26

Blimy sub 180. I didn't expect to see that again in my lifetime.

[debsdowner] 21/10/2021 09:24

Humpty,

The RPI nearer 5% and more inflation to come:

[netcurtains] 21/10/2021 08:38

Rise?
I guess the market is now factoring in that shops will not close this Christmas - although it might be back to compulsory masks and hand washing.

Supermarkets generally operate on 1% net margin on fuel stations including oils & snacks. ASDA generally use fuel to drive trade into their stores as do it’s competitors. Fuel stations are generally a dying as wet fuel sales eroded by electric cars, and will have basically no business in 2030. Fuel stations will need to morf into something else, probably electric charging and click and collect/catering.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the consumer prices index (CPI) measure of inflation eased to 3.1 per cent in September from 3.2 per cent in August.
