I am not expecting much movement in share price --- the drop yesterday might give us a an excuse at blue day. 210-215p range is my guess for the day.I will just hold for now.

[lufc5] 12/1/2017 07:24

Surely a blue day today....

[staylow1] 12/1/2017 07:23

Call me a pessimist, but that's the thing I zeroed in on

[cocker] 12/1/2017 07:21

Weaker pound also proving beneficial from Asian operations. Lets hope the market reacts to the results positively.

[portside1] 12/1/2017 07:18

Looking ahead
We are well-placed against the medium-term aspirations we outlined in October 2016 and we are on track to deliver at least GBP1.2bn Group operating profit before exceptional items for the full year.
We will report our full year results on 12 April 2017.

Dave Lewis, Chief Executive:
"We are very encouraged by the sustained strong progress that we are making across the Group. In the UK, we saw our eighth consecutive quarter of volume growth and delivered a third successful Christmas. Our fresh food ranges proved particularly popular, outperforming the market with great quality, innovative new products and even more affordable prices. Internationally, we have continued to focus on improving our offer for customers in challenging market conditions.

We are well-placed against the plans we shared in October to become more competitive for customers, simpler for colleagues, and an even better partner for our suppliers, whilst creating long-term value for our shareholders.

I would like to thank all of our colleagues for everything they have done to serve our customers brilliantly over this very busy period."

Get ready for a strong open tomorrow!! Hehe

[portside1] 11/1/2017 16:19

we will soon see all the sells at 4.35 unreported sells

[staylow1] 11/1/2017 16:00

Something certainly doesn't seem right - 30 million sells yesterday and by the time today's over I wouldn't be surprised if sells are over and above buys

[portside1] 11/1/2017 15:54

its the nbuying or selling out of dealing time 8am till 4.30pm is trading time for pi investors big investors buy or sell before market is open its stinks

looking at todays trading some on as been given news

[liam1om] 11/1/2017 15:51

portside1 - I don't understand where you are coming from? Market markers? It's SETS traded. If I go onto the book now and buy 100,000 it will tick up simple as.

Buying and selling here isn't really relevant, if someone is buying someone is also selling. Obviously today there is a big seller in the market.

[cocker] 11/1/2017 15:47

Quite often Porty a big sell will only be reported once the order has been filled.

[portside1] 11/1/2017 15:19

2m more buys than sells and down that should say something is not right with the market makers

[cocker] 11/1/2017 15:17

Always good to hear news from within gairich.

[gairich] 11/1/2017 14:35

I'm quite sure we will end the day blue here and I'm quite confident they will anounc a bumper Christmas, I work at one of the distribution centres and we had our busiest Christmas on record, most of the stores we service are also telling us they have broken all records.

[ladeside] 11/1/2017 14:22

I'd expect our results to be good, however how much of that is already priced in ? We all know the agenda, the results could be great but share price falls due to some made up story about "slightly under analysts expectations". The market is crooked and the only guarantee is that the PI loses.

[portside1] 11/1/2017 14:04

no I do not like this manipulation on the results tomorrow its really strange on the trading of this share today

[staylow1] 11/1/2017 13:51

So with today's activities you'd say the news could, potentially be bullish?

[portside1] 11/1/2017 13:50

no they have not loaned out shares , they just allow big investors to sell at a cerain share price or hold on results

out of trading hours

[staylow1] 11/1/2017 13:43

Portside, excuse my nativity on MMIf they have loaned out shares (I'd presume at an interest), then if the news is bullish then it would be in their (MM) interest to move the price high so they buy the on hold shares higher?I noticed the 30 million sell yesterday, which would make me think someone knew something yesterday?

[portside1] 11/1/2017 13:33

kanta got it wrong on sbry so can you now trust anything they say

[portside1] 11/1/2017 13:19

[portside1] 11/1/2017 13:17
