buywell - which shares are you long on?

[unastubbs] 30/7/2020 06:21

they're going to make a decision in october. for now the phrase they use is that the decision is 'deferred'. i'm pretty disappointed abt the situation. if profits are flat versus last year then i would have expected them to be able to pay a dividend roughly equivalent to last year. i'm an income investor so i'ts pretty important to me.

When ever I look they are mostly more expensive than sainsburys!

Mask enforcement is madness when the experts can't agree on their efficacy. Afaiia, wearing them properly is an advantage, how people actual wear them makes them much more dangerous and more likely to spread the disease.

I still think the seat belt law is absolutely infamous.

Wow an Austin Alegro and Maxi had a Maxi once dreadful car!

Police urge big retailers to refuse entry to non-compliant shoppers over coronavirus risk

[spob] 25/7/2020 17:32

I remember lots of people like you, when it became law to wear a seatbelt



I think most people started wearing them when you would get 3 points on your license

spob, it's hard to give a clear-cut answer, isn't it? The idea that compulsory masks would encourage shopping is something that would never occur to me, but the government seems to believe it and so do a lot of others. On the other hand, I will not go into a shop requiring masks except under critical necessity, and I know a lot of people take the same view.

This is what I am on about so many idiots out there who think shop workers are "fair game"

Before lock down there was only 1 house out of the 11 past me up the road that had grocery on-line delivery.

During lock down this increased to 3 houses, since lock down has been unlocked, back down to just the 1 house again receiving on-line grocery deliveries.

Although I think there will always be some who shop in stores, for me I will never buy groceries online, I do agree there is a significant shift online that will probably continue.Not sure that is good for the big 4 though as I suspect when you add in overheads and costs its loss making.

[buywell3] 24/7/2020 22:10

It is ON-Line sales that have climbed by over 50% as lockdowns have changed the way people shop

IMO for good

On-Line and delivered to the door will become the norm

Seriously though, I think publically stating that mask wearing will not be policed could have a negative rather than a positive effect

Because many customers will expect and want it to be policed

Such as high risk elderly customers, who may choose to go to Waitrose instead


unintended consequences and all that

[spob] 24/7/2020 16:37

I see your points Tim and Graham


Perhaps Sainsburys could also stop policing the sale of age restricted products

because it would avoid confrontation

and they would see a massive increase in market share of those products


Lol

Sainsbury's is likely to gain market share with its realistic stance on masks.

[joe say] 24/7/2020 07:38

Are rioters and looters exempt from the mask rules?
