Northern Foods Share Discussion Threads

-0.9%. BEG, CLIG and PLUS all managed to close up slightly. General momentum was the other way, though.

Went shopping at SBRY. Not so busy on roads or in store. Several items were out of stock. Some new pricing saw discounts offered off even higher prices and some prices were just higher. How do they justify regularly increasing prices on the prices they lifted when food commodities went up but did not reduce when they came down?

Fuel consumption improved on the car again, with just 1/3rd of a tank of E5, to 44mpg. Another 1/4 now looks to be pushing it up about the same again so far. I still find the difference between the two grades quite remarkable. A what car test showed 5-10% difference for a number of small hatchbacks - little like the theoretical 2% we were originally told - but I'm noticing it more in the Suzuki, too. In the big car, with its tall top gear, the difference is consistently over 15%.

Rained early on but brightness and warmth slowly won out. It would have been a nice day if not so sticky . 16.3C after 11.7C.

I'm down -0.816% on the day today (FTSE100 -1.361%).

Worst falls: RIO -4.83%, BHP -4.47% and BP. -3.71%.

Best rises: IMB +4.10%. RKT +1.03% and SMDS +0.75%.

Miners and oils hit big, but thanks to IMB and RKT for healthy rises.

Time to eat.

Aleman, definitely some similarities there!

Looks like you lot faired better than me today, -1.10% BP., LLOY & RIO being the worst hit but just about everything red.

[skinny] 08/10/2024 16:03

I finished down 0.53%.

Bright for the most part after a damp start @17C.

[malcolm caton] 08/10/2024 15:53

Down 0.69%

Worst of fallers SNR by a mile,though BHP.RIO.BP didnt help.

Out of 54 stocks only 10 were blue,best were ZOO.CPI,UTLP.

If this carries on till budget day I am heading towards a negative YTD figure :LOL

[blueliner] 08/10/2024 15:45

-0.98% folio, miners friendless.[FTSE All-Share -1.31%]

BHP -4.6%, RIO -4.7%, HSBC -4.3%, WDS -3.2%, BERI -2.44%, GLEN -4.6% worst fallers.

DFCH, SPEC, PLUS, lonely gainers.

Showery rain at times. Max 16C.

[dr biotech] 08/10/2024 15:39

Down 0.35%

Could have been worse. MEGP biggest value loser though LORD gets a special award for a 7% drop. One of my worst timed investments and I’ve made plenty. Spec & ULTP only two worthwhile risers, but all helps.

[aleman] 08/10/2024 15:30

Worrying that this is happening there (Vietnam) as well as here. This sounds like the Vietnamese equivalent of MrP interviewing!

[skinny] 08/10/2024 15:22

Its not looking good out there - not much blue.

I just paid £126.9p for petrol - looking at the BP share price - perhaps I should have waited!

[mrphil] 08/10/2024 15:10

Nice little rise from CUSN but sadly only amounts to around a fortieth of todays losses!

[aleman] 08/10/2024 14:58

Probably why my broadband failed again - ggrrr! Does nothing in this country ever work right!?

Of course, all falls are China's fault and nothing to do with recessionary news from Vistry, SUS, Senior and fashion stocks all realising that Shein's 40% rise in UK sales means all their sales losses that are not likely to be temporary after all.

[mrphil] 08/10/2024 11:26

phil, thanks for that. Probably why the sun has gone in too! 😁

[dr biotech] 08/10/2024 10:20

Chinese stimulus is underwhelming apparently. Therefore my shares in AV are down and the same reason that my train was cancelled this morning. Well it probably makes sense to someone.

Feels like I haven't had two up days in a row for months. Would help to get the budget out of the way.

[philanderer] 08/10/2024 10:19

MrP , China again


European shares went into reverse early Tuesday, as the lack of new stimulus in China disappointed the market

China said on Tuesday it was ‘fully confident’ of hitting its growth target this year but held off announcing more stimulus measures, leaving markets disappointed.

Beijing has struggled to reignite business activity as officials target around 5% expansion, which analysts say is optimistic given the numerous headwinds, from a prolonged housing crisis to sluggish consumption and local government debt.

All eyes were on a news conference led by Zheng Shanjie, head of China’s National Development & Reform Commission, on Tuesday, and investors hoped Beijing would unveil more economy-boosting policies.

But Zheng and colleagues refrained from laying out any new stimulus, instead reiterating that ‘the fundamentals of our country’s economic development have not changed’.

So what has happened to cause today's drop?

[philanderer] 08/10/2024 09:33

Morning everyone.

Very wet and portfolio slumping for seven red days in a row.

Good win for The Bantams and Cook's headed goal getting a special mention on the radio report last night.

[aleman] 08/10/2024 08:28

Milton is Cat 3 according to Ventusky and peak wind speed on Yukatan so far is 60mph so looking a bit weaker than yesterday's predictions for the time being.

Kirk is headed for France. Peak sustained wind is 59mph and weakening.

[malcolm caton] 08/10/2024 07:40

Morning,

Raining here,very red start to the day not much blue about,SNR update not gone down well and miners in full retreat,- aprox 1%

[skinny] 08/10/2024 07:07

Aleman - I see the article I linked to earlier has now been changed - which is good/better news.

[aleman] 08/10/2024 07:05

Good morning. Milton has lost power overnight. Chance of wind reaching 74mph on Yucatan reduced slightly to 30% and Florida projection is down slightly to 50-60%. This suggests Milton will most likely be a Cat 1 hurricane or a strong Tropical Storm when it makes landfall.



However, storm surge projection is more consistent with Cat 2 or 3 hurricane at landfall.



Gets bigger and eye less clear as it weakens.

[mrphil] 08/10/2024 06:54

Morning All.

Didn't go near the screen on my day off yesterday but I appear to have finished just about positive so I'm happy with that.

The promised heavy rain didn't come by bedtime last night but it's certainly very wet everywhere this morning so it must have sneaked in over night. Just about got the patios and paths power washed in time!

[skinny] 08/10/2024 06:00

Good Morning. Further to post 89834 :-

[wllmherk] 07/10/2024 20:05

No problem DF, I've edited your YTD figure on the table, no change in placing, you hold a healthy lead.

wllm :)

[blueliner] 07/10/2024 19:43

I finished up a mediocre +£115, nothing inspirational.

Back from the vets with the young dog, who cannot put their finger on the problem other than than blaming hormones. The fees are mounting up, a claim to PetPlan looks likely.

Partially sunny, a pleasant day, max 17C.
