Long gone are the days when we used to make own with weed killer and sugar in old water tanks etc. Quite a bang.

Somebody has to take the lead re Fireworks. Whilst I wish it wasn't Sains first (as a shareholder), I commend their decision. Such a nuisance these days. Long overdue they were restricted to specialist outlets. Yup, I'm a pet owner and I wouldn't be that fussed if kids wee sensible these days. Alas we all know how in law abiding

The market share of the Big Four supermarkets has tumbled to a 15-year low as the march of the German discounters Aldi and Lidl continues.

Tesco, Sainbury's, Asda and Morrisons now hold just 62.7 per cent of the market.

Aldi and Lidl have raked in an additional £1billion in sales over the past year, boosting their combined market share to 14.1 per cent.

Aldi, which has an 8.1 per cent share, is now rapidly catching up with Morrison's, which has slumped to under a tenth of the UK market.

The discounter has been luring middle-class customers by selling high-end products such as yellowfin sole and Aberdeen Angus steaks under the banner 'Luxury you can afford'.

I doubt they ever made any money from selling them

they had to hire large outdoor storage containers for them every year

One of the things I really like about Russia over the New Year, in the supermarkets one is able to buy fireworks that come in self contained boxes that contain 3 or 5 minutes firework displays. Just light the one tape, walk back and watch and a good time is had by all.

Just gone past mid-night we pop into our local park watching these small displays light up the white of the snow covered ground. I have never seen anybody get hurt or injured.

Decision to ban fireworks sales by sainsbury is total anti business strategy.
If they don't sale then people will buy from other shops.If so,why don't they stop
selling meat as this does make animals suffer more than fireworks.
Sainsbury should consider to increase their sales and profit rather that act like
a social reformer.
With business ideas like this,Sainsbury will soon bite dust.
Good luck to the people who is holding the stock.

N675 - I've looked at your recent posts, posting absolutely nothing to engender dialogue and discussion or any information of any use to the private retail investor.

I post many things that are not my experience.

Customer experience is very important for a retailer so no need to poo-poo them and there is nothing wrong in personal opinions as that is all the brokers are giving is their personal opinions which are dangerous to follow as usually made for their and the profits for company they work for.

At least I do not post like many posters do saying they bought at the bottom and sold at the top or giving a ridiculously high fair value for the share they are invested in or talking rubbish like 'shorts are closing' showing how little they know about investing in the stock market.

[poikka] 12/10/2019 09:39

Brokers are invariably behind the curve.

At last you post something other than personal opinion or experience.

Shore Capital upgrades Sainsbury’s:

Shore Capital has upgraded Sainsbury’s (SBRY) as it is impressed by the work on ‘joined up digitisation’ that could provide the supermarket with an edge.

Analyst Clive Black upgraded his recommendation from ‘sell’ to ‘hold’ on the stock following a ‘well-executed’ capital markets day (CMD).

Black said the CMD revealed ‘particularly impressive work, we felt, on joined up digitisation…which may ‘yet prove to be something of a meaningful competitive advantage’ with each of Sainsbury’s commercial brands being made accessible through an app ‘embodying Nectar, Argos Financial Services, and Sainsbury’s Bank’.

He said the shares were ‘not trading on demanding investment multiples’ and the dividend yield was ‘attractive217; particularly ‘if it is more visible, secure, and sustainable’.

Te biggest problem I see for us share holders it how the CEO and directors of companies are rewarded for Failure.

How do we get round this?

By having an new CEO write down 'pre-set failure standards'

For example - If Sainsbury's profit falls, LFL sales do not rise by 2%, margins do not rise by 0.2% per year. If at least one of these is not been reached then the directors have failed and therefore for they all forgo all their bonuses for that year.

If say 3 or more are not met, then the directors start having their pay reduced.

Interesting.
Our eagle-eyed Current Affairs Correspondent, Oliver Down exposed the other day that Jo Swinson’s Husband Duncan Hames works for an organisation called Transparancy International which is an ‘anti-corruption’ charity. It has received millions from the EU over the years.

Now the team have also done a forensic analysis of their accounts and can reveal that they also receive money from ‘Open Society’ which is funded by none other than George Soros.

They openly publish this on their website but the main issue we have is that surely Jo Swinson and her husband have a financial interest in staying in the EU. Why is she not questioned on it by the media, why does she not have to declare an interest yet Boris is slammed for the silliest little things? The hypocrisy and treachery of the media knows no bounds.

These reports of such and such a store not being as good as it once was, I find really boring. A neighbour of ours recently changed her home delivery from Morrisons to Sainsburys because she was unimpressed with Morrisons and now finds SBRYs a much better service.

So there it is: some good and some not good - generally meaningless, unless you want to find a negative of course.

That is what I've been posting, out of the so called big 4 supermarkets Morrison's owns the most freeholds which I believe to be around 70% with Sainsbury's the least at no more than 40% and Tesco around 50%.
