Moot point if they're not selling any women's clothing.

Lower to go IMO

RSI looking grossly oversold here...

According to FT Marks been making stylish suits than Austin Reed...

'Remain in' vote , market rises then sells off

'Out vote ' market sells off then bounces back

What a stoopid game 🙃

350-55 roughly would be attractive imv, barring more bad news!.

[philanderer] 31/5/2016 17:46

350p for me , order in.

[leonidas] 31/5/2016 17:25

ANOTHER DIP tomorrow ahead of Dividend date but I will be buyer below 370p.

Looking at the charts in the header, looks like MKS has just followed NXT, KGF, INCH etc., today. Pure manipulation by mm's/ii's.

[smartypants] 31/5/2016 16:34

Bots bots bots...

[philanderer] 31/5/2016 16:02

Not happening today, in fact quite the opposite once again.

Dull looks like the word. I see Austin Reed has finaly gone to the wall. Used to be a class act.

TRADERS TIPS: City insiders say buy Marks & Spencer as analysts still rate company

flaton, speaking of property I would not bet the farm on this one.

Any PI buying, or selling for that matter, is dwarfed by institutional
transactions, so what PI's do makes pretty much no difference.
Good luck with your purchase.

Increase the floor space for Food sales and decrease the space allotted to clothing !
Just a thought ...

[flaton2000] 31/5/2016 10:51

I suggest..

[flaton2000] 31/5/2016 10:49

As a medium (possibly short)term investment especially right now before div's this is a 10% plus over one year. Much better and easier than property without all the aggravation and as sure as you can be (in the markets) of a decent up tick.

An old school buy and hold suggest! DYOR

Michael Gove is a QPR supporter like myself..... Not sure I'll be voting for brexit though. 😜

[careful] 30/5/2016 10:46

looking closly at these.
saw Rowe interviewed and I thought he was an ordinery down to earth blokey type.
Even a Millwall supporter, how plebian can you get I thought.

just the man to sort MKS out.
he is not moving into Bollands palatial office, going to turn it into conference rooms available to all.

But the bit i really liked was that his Dad was a main board MKS director.
This guy knows MKS from top to bottom.

Its a definite buy and hold at these levels from me. I wasn't a fan of Marc Bolland although to give him credit, he did a lot of much needed restructuring behind the scenes as well as food. Steve Rowe knows the company inside and out I'm sure he will be able to implement further change and get on top of homeware and general merchandise. The share price can't keep falling so I expect us to recapture some of the share price losses over the next week or so.

Reports in the Sunday Times of over 1,000 job losses on the way,
an exit from China and France, would guesstimate that another headcount
head office cull will be part of those job reductions.

Have not seen, but tried the click and collect service on an order
for a couple of new pillows and it worked well, competitively priced.
In store next day and e-mail to confirm you can collect.

They need to be more proactive on services like this, was not
even aware this was an option- in fairness may not be the best gauge
as usually a country mile behind on certain things.

Any spin from the M & S PR dept in the uk weekend press ?

[essentialinvestor] 28/5/2016 21:06

I had Thurs/Friday as potential days to add with the XD impact,
its the special plus the final so quite a chunk to come off the SP,
all things being equal.
