RF - bad luck. I don't follow First Group, otherwise I might well have bought it - I like a bargain!

[robertfaulkner] 31/5/2013 08:33

Bigbertie, I hope you didn't also buy First Group, with the MKS cash, like I did.

Bought at 175p after they announced a rights issue(and a big drop) but it continued to drop so now down £11k, rubbing salt in the wound of MKS rising.

Ho hum

Current Groupon offer, £10 M&S voucher for £5.

But more emphasis on internet sales is pushing this higher.

[bigbertie] 28/5/2013 09:06

RF - hear hear. I also sold a while back and am amazed how the rise has continued. I occasionally walk through the clothing area in M&S and it has all the charisma of a care home waiting room. I get a panic attack - someone might see me (not hard as there is hardly anyone else around!). The men\'s clothes and the shop layouts are as dull now as they were 20 years ago. Just my opinion of course, but the performance doesn\'t suggest anything else.

Next slides as Morgan Stanley says sell and buy M&S
Next slide after a note from Morgan Stanley \"encouraged\" investors to take profits and invest in competitor Marks & Spencer.

5:27PM BST 24 May 2013

It's time for investors to head to the changing rooms to get out of Next and into Marks & Spencer, according to Morgan Stanley. Shares in the former fell 111p, or 2.37pc, to £45.80, making it one of the top fallers on the blue-chip index yesterday, after the broker put out a note "encouraging" shareholders to take profits and buy into its rival.

Morgan Stanley analysts said while there was no "immediate cause for concern" at Next, they "do think it will be very difficult to replicate the spectacular margin expansion we have seen over the last decade".

Next shares hit an all-time high on Wednesday of £47.49.

The analysts said that M&S was attractive as it was still trading at more than 30pc below the level it was six years ago, helping buoy the high street stalwart and making it one of the index's top risers, up 2.9 to 475p

Never understood why M&S appointed Marc Bolland as chief executive

An ex Somerfield grocery boy expected to excel in fashions?

Before Marc Bolland arrived, remember those class M&S TV adverts with class models and class clothes which had people queuing to buy, Well those days will never return until M&S show Marc Bolland the door

Marks & Spencer has suffered a 14pc drop in annual profits following a sharp decline in clothing sales over the last year.

[leadersoffice] 21/5/2013 08:00

Think the share price will continue to build momentum. But it is the last throw of the dice for Bolland.He needs to get to grip with General merchandise. Lets wait till Julys trading figures.

[snatander] 21/5/2013 07:56
