Wholefoods are not as tasty as MKS.

Please do your own research and try some wholefoods tasteless products...

Good rally from the lows today :-)


Telegraph market report:

Also heading lower were supermarkets Morrison’s, Sainsbury’s and Tesco, losing 3.7pc, 2.3pc and 1.8pc respectively, in reaction to Amazon saying it would slash prices at Whole Foods, the upmarket grocer it bought for £10.7bn earlier this year. However, Marks & Spencer, likely to be Whole Foods’ main rival, bucked the trend, rising 0.5pc.

“I totally agree with the structural threat Amazon represents,” said JP Morgan analyst Borja Olcese. “But it is not a concern in isolation. There is also the rise of e-commerce and the discounters too.”

Just -4p for the week.

Good weekend to you too jpj :-)

[jpjohn1] 25/8/2017 16:44

Not a good week again chaps, bad two days - 10.4p. Now on near record lows for year £3.07. If you own these shares and down a lot of money don't dwell on it to much, at this value it looks a real bargain. Better luck next week ,its about we had a good week. Have a Great weekend whatever your doing

Afternoon EI , can't really understand the supermarkets' share price reaction this morning to this Whole Foods discounting .... is the organic food market really that big ?

[essentialinvestor] 25/8/2017 10:50

There is some Amazon bid spec in the MRW share price imv.

[philanderer] 25/8/2017 10:50

Ah, here we go.....


'UK supermarkets slip after Amazon decision to cut prices at Whole Foods'

[jpjohn1] 25/8/2017 10:36

Yes if we could see the future, if I still had Morrisons now ( sold a couple of years ago) what the share price is now I had would have been 60k + profit, hindsight a great thing !!

Correct on almost permanent sales on Debenhams, they don't really want it but the customers expect it and margins will suffer also brands dated.

[simon templar qc] 25/8/2017 10:27

Marks, Boots, John Lewis are all trusted retailers and as such the brand name will probably help them while the rout takes others out on worry over margins and borrowings as sales are hit.

[philanderer] 25/8/2017 10:26

Thanks ST .

Agree about Debenhams , permanent sales on in their stores.

JOUL doing ok :-)

[simon templar qc] 25/8/2017 10:22

phil none.

I actually prefer Marks as jp says Marks brand is fantastic but they need to up the stakes on design. There is going to be some hit the wall, I am not certain which but my guess would be Arcadia, Beales, or Debenhams.

If they don't hit the wall it will get more competitive still.

[philanderer] 25/8/2017 10:07

Agree ST , it's tough times for retail , savings also being withdrawn , wages stagnant, credit spiralling, not easy for most.

Which retail shares are you short ?

[essentialinvestor] 25/8/2017 10:04

This is not just MKS, it looks a pronounced UK retail sector decline atm.

MRW bucking the trend.
