Marks And Spencer Share Discussion Threads

It was rather difficult not to write about Marc Bolland's GBP15m golden hello as reporting in the financial press today, especially as it appears that financial journalists do not mind obscenely large payments to executives as long as they are not bankers. The charting position of M&S actually seems to be quite golden as well in the sense that the shares are at the floor of a rising trend channel in place since July and level with the black 200 day moving average at 346p. The implication is that while there is no weekly close below 346p the upside for the shares should be towards 400p over the next couple of months.

market will respond well to new management coming in, particularly as they are successful in food which is where MKS lost out at Christmas. I'm not sure when the new chap is joining but the market will respond well when he does.

I think it will test 350 again, if it breaks below I will exit

or could it be that working for goldmans gives you access to the torrent of money needed to move the markets in your favour and make those profits. QED.

and if we did, so would we! Where do you think this is going tomorrow cromarty?

TIA

If magazines (journalists) new what they were talking about, they'd be working for Goldmans

[5jacko] 18/1/2010 17:22

Pigeon, I hope it goes well for you- magazines do get it wrong. we shall see, for now Im staying out GLA

love it jacko! At least you're honest - not sure i know what i'm doing but tokk another 10k friday at 350 now have about 40k shares. All i can say is that "apparently" the man from monaco is looking in but who knows?

[5jacko] 18/1/2010 10:04

shares magazine have them as a strong sell- i know what Im doing- not catching this falling knife... seen it so many times

[5jacko] 16/1/2010 11:49

next support at 340, if it passes that it could well be bloodbath time down to 300..

Marks & Spencer Group(MKS)13-Jan Nomura says Buy @371.90p Target 420.00p Reiteration!

...looks like £3 next stop....chart says it all....

[eisler] 08/1/2010 12:42

If this goes to 300 as some have suggested, I will be topping-up with every spare penny I have!

buying more at 370p, sell-off overdone - decent cash flow, reducing costs and will boost margins. as ssaid earlier, with sterling weak a foreign predator could pounce and we all know phil green still wants this, may be he will get a chance when the dutch guy from morrissons takes over. food buisness doing well and now some stores selling other brands like coke, colgate etc.... risk/reward good - alos tempted to buy more sbry, extreemly undervalued but kicking myself for not buying below 320p two days ago.

monty, their italian range suits which sell for £299 would be at least £500 if a "name" were put on the label.

As for the elastic trousers, i leave those for you!

[5jacko] 06/1/2010 20:27

madoff with cash- and at the rate this is going, it could be there by friday!

You guys shouldn't touch retailers in 2010. Earning figures are expected to be below expectations for most. Even mighty Tesco might not escape the crunch.
Media has talked the share up till yesterday and a lot of them shrted from yesterday.
If Sainsbury and Tesco reported aother lackluster performance, this share should retreat below 300p.

[qantas] 06/1/2010 18:01

montyhedge what a lot or rubbish you speak.
Go and short another stock.

[montyhedge] 06/1/2010 15:03

What would a rights issue be 1 for 3 at 330p?

[jas_ron] 06/1/2010 14:56

men' range is excellent monty- decent woolen italian trousers, smart suits
food is excellent and today's fall a buying oportunity. owns plenty of freehold as well, if they fall much more don't be surprised if foreign prdators appear or someone from monaco called phil green.....

marble arch very busy during first few days of sale .....

[montyhedge] 06/1/2010 13:39

Rumours of rights issue to cover pension liability?

[montyhedge] 06/1/2010 13:38

The buyer for mark's men clothing should be sacked, what a pile of sh-t.
