How accurate are those market share stats?...does anybody really know how these stats are measured?....or has it all been taken for grantage all these years?....

If I was a Tesco share holder I would not be happy that Tesco´s has lost over 5.5% in market share over the past few years, while ASDA has lost around 1.5% and Morrisons over 1% while Sainsbury´s has managed to slightly increase their market share and we all know how much the combined Aldi/Lidl share has gone up to equal that of now Morrisons and Waitrose has risen by around 1%.

A couple of years back I posted that by 2020, Tesco´s market share will fall to 25% while the combined Aldi/Lidl market share will rise to 15% which it seems to me is basically on track to do so, but maybe a little after 2020.

I like the soothing colours and calm atmosphere while shopping in Waitrose and how one can chat to the staff about cricket while in many of the Tesco´s I visit I find myself on edge and often feel like I´m in a boxing match.

Capeview ... I agree totally!! I'm after a good shopping experience as well as quality food.. and I don't mind paying a little extra for it.

@loganair Tesco shopping like a lot of stores depends on the stores. Go to one near me in one direction and it's a nice shopping experience, go in another and not so nice because of the locale. Same can be said with sainsburys, even Waitrose have the odd store that doesn't quite work. As for Aldi/Lidl, there is no one to talk too so they have a real lack of customer care and there shopping isn't much better than the others, plus you still need to shop elsewhere anyway.
As for ASDA, no matter which one, I want to be in and out as quick as possible.
In a previous post I did say that Tesco need to cut down on what they are trying to sell in there stores, which I think makes for a much better shopping experience. Buying big and stacking high just feels awful no matter which store brand you use.

I hear you. That's exactly why i never use Tesco. However... If there's money to be made, they need to get their act together... They're losing market share to hungry well run chains like Aldi and Lidl... Where will that end?.. Will it end??.... Watching with interest. But I won't hold at this price... It may be a mistake. But we'll see... in time

What I see of Tesco´s is out of all the supermarkets is the most uncomfortable shopping environment and experience, noisy, and with a noisy bold blue every where, lack of customer service with many staff lacking knowledge and therefore can no longer see the need for them as they are neither an Aldi or Lidl or a Sainsbury´s, so what is the point of Tesco´s.

its all variations of whats already here

There's plenty to do yet, ask James Dyson.

This market is like a very slow car crash. Not much more upside for a long period, can really only stay stagnant or go down.

We are at a point in history called peak product, ie we have everything we need as human beings. Where is the next must have worldwide product going to come from. If a company like apple cant think of anything new to sell to us who will.

This is a good trading stock. if you have the cash to keep adding if it goes against you, you will make money on this.

160 is a good entry point, and add if it goes to 150, etc.

You will make money!

[npp62] 06/5/2016 08:27

Waiting for sub 140p.... Not sure I want to take 160p.... Hey I could be wrong... Been wrong plenty of times before!

[pierre oreilly] 05/5/2016 16:30

Should be

(I.e. the ex-dominant grocers.)

[pierre oreilly] 05/5/2016 16:28

I think I said a day or two ago that I couldn't understand people investing against the tide ( is in the six-footer many grocers).

Well thanks to some posters i here now understand.

It is going to be a very different world of employment when BT finishes wiring the country and Microsoft have leveraged everyone who matters on the 'The Cloud'. A world where those behemoths run on monthly charges and employ very much fewer staff.

[vaneric] 05/5/2016 15:34

It has a question mark so likely to be neither sarcasm nor serious, can you answer his question?

[pierre oreilly] 05/5/2016 13:16

Not sure whether that's sarcasm or whether you are serious!

[amoore70] 05/5/2016 10:17

Telecoms. Really? Where is the growth in Telecoms exactly?

[james smith] 04/5/2016 13:32

Ah well, around 175p is it's natural price until there is some news worth having and has been since the price crashed.

[pierre oreilly] 04/5/2016 10:39

Imv, telecoms is the obvious one.

[buoycat] 04/5/2016 09:41

Such as?...

[pierre oreilly] 04/5/2016 09:23

I'm amazed people still see the established grocers as worthy of investment.Why not invest where the tide is flowing with you rather than against you, I.e rapidly expanding markets with high barriers to entry?
