Property outlook grim , surveyors expecting first fall since november 2012.

And 10-year gilt yield minutes ago hit a record low of 1.224%

General Election after Euro vote , Tory party will be split and no legislation will be able to get through

I`m happy just to preserve wealth these days. Blue chip dividend payers, hopefully retaining their capital value. Grim outlook everywhere economically

And plenty of cash.

Morning dlku , I think you`ll have to look elsewhere for a takeover . Not going to happen with MKS.

[diku] 09/6/2016 09:04

400p anybody on takeover speculation?...

[philanderer] 08/6/2016 21:32

As for PG ... can`t see that happening

"Forget Dominic Chappell - it is Sir Philip Green who has a lot of explaining to do over the collapse of BHS"

M&S will disclose in its annual report on Thursday it paid Marc Bolland a bonus of roughly £600,000 last year, Sky News learns.

philanderer...we believe you!....


Yes think Philip Green always wanted the bigger fish (M&S)....now that Bhs is a gonner a perfect opportunity...

[chutes01] 08/6/2016 17:28

Philip Green has played a blinder, he couldn't get his mucky paws on M&S and had now gifted them the early demise of BHS.
This is where the clothing recovery will get kick started.

Anyone else have their router fried by that exceptional lightning storm in the south east last night ?


....dlku , short cut to the food hall, that`s my story and I`m sticking to it ;-D

London Standard:

"Marks & Spencer stands to be the biggest beneficiary of BHS’s demise, according to Morgan Stanley. It expects the collapse of the chain to boost M&S’s like-for-like sales by 2-3% over the next year.

“While it is unlikely to change M&S’s longer-term prospects, it increases our conviction that the nearer-term risk reward is now very favourable,” said analyst Geoff Ruddell

Shorters got very burnt today not a good one to short.....

[leonidas] 08/6/2016 16:43

so much for the 290p,she should be sacked.

[death by donut] 08/6/2016 16:21

Perhaps MKS could make use of bigger stores by renting a bit out to BOO! ( not a BOO holder ).

We've got Argburys now , praps we could have Marks & Boosers!

DbD :0)

[diku] 08/6/2016 14:52

philanderer....what were you doing in the ladies department?...

[death by donut] 08/6/2016 14:20

It appears my - complete - guess about social media and fashion retail must have some truth in it.

From the BOO Joint CE today.

"The phenomenon was a "global" one, she said, because trends travel so quickly through social media. "We have used online influencers and social media in a big way from day one," she said. "It's a great way to get the message out."

added at the 'bottom' phil, so we'll see what happens etc

[philanderer] 08/6/2016 13:31

Morgan Stanley reiterating 'overweight' target 460p

[philanderer] 08/6/2016 13:15

Pleased to report M&S uxbridge was buzzing this morning , could see that even the ladies` clothing dept was busy :-)

[leonidas] 07/6/2016 16:04

is all scare monkeying no way 290P SHE IS STUPID.

[freedom97] 07/6/2016 15:14

Note, she says "could", it could also boost sales quicker. As for, "as it takes customers time to adjust", don't make me laugh. I've been in retail for many years (not any more) and whenever we changed stores around, sales increased, almost from day one.

No doubt M & S will be advertising the improved changes made to the clothes departments, that should boost the number of customers to their stores.

[freedom97] 07/6/2016 10:37

I agree diku, there's a large gap to fill.

[dlku] 07/6/2016 10:31

Going to 440p imho

[tlobs2] 07/6/2016 06:22

My wife is doing her best to boost clothing sales for us all at M & S now that the weather has turned ;-)

The results will start to filter through and then BOOM ............ 400p short term, slight breath and then 450p within six months IMVHO

Do M & S do loyalty discounts for shareholders like Next? If not why not?
