This share price falling today is unbelievable.What idiots think tesco is not making millions from all the panic buying.Their next results will be stellar. Panic buy this stock you idiots

The problem is that the government's plan around self isolation does nothing to reassure any of us about food supply in the coming months. It could cease completely. If you don't panic buy you end up potentially starving.

I won't albert I didn't buy any for myself :-) just a bottle for an old friend who doesn't drive.

Vaneric1...you will enjoy that milk I can assure you.

[vaneric1] 20/3/2020 13:43

They can't keep up with the idiots grabbing everything as it arrives.

I went for a top up yesterday and got everything but plastic potted milk but they had some bottled Channel Island whole milk in Litre bottles at £1.10 and said the normal milk delivery would arrive within an hour.

There's no real shortage of product just a shortage of delivery logistics.

If thine eye offends thee, cast it out.

You realy shouldn't take things too literally.

[nathdani] 19/3/2020 16:44

An overactive immune system ??!!

Are you nuts ?

[essential] 19/3/2020 16:16

Completely agree. This a smokescreen and an excuse to crash the economic model and reset debt to zero

[ladeside] 19/3/2020 15:45

You should maybe address that question to all the world leaders, the leading scientists in the world and the leading Doctors in the world.

If they're all panicking and if Governments throughout the world are concerned enough to destroy their economies, then forgive me, but I think we should all be paying more attention to them than any ignorant punters on social media.

Just my thoughts of course......

What's the panic!

Every year at least 500,000 people die around the world of the standard flu and in a bad year 1 1/4 million people die of the flu and the world economy is not put on hold with people being put on lock down during the flu season.

[loganair] 19/3/2020 15:28

A chap on one of the financial programmes said he went in to his local supermarket and all the toilet paper had gone, then looked at the shelves opposite with the immune-boosting products, none of them has been touched.

It is not really the virus that is killing anybody, it is the persons over active immune system when they get the virus that kills people. Therefore what we need to be looking for is not a drug to beat the virus with but a drug to stop ones immune system from becoming over active this will help save many peoples life's what ever virus they may catch in the future.

Went into bookers today ,I stupidly thought catering wouldn't need the stock how wrong was I,it was 4 times busier than normal .

IC has a comprehensive article on supermarkets today in light of covid-19, I can't paste the whole article but their conclusion:-

IC View

Supermarket stocks fell sharply in the middle of March, and while much of this will simply have been market contagion, coronavirus poses a legitimate threat to supply chains and stock replenishment. But the shares have marched back. Tesco, which is rowing back its international exposure, looks well-placed to cope with demand pressure, with its added flexibility through ownership of Booker, which was the country’s largest wholesaler before their 2018 merger. Morrison’s balance sheet strength, meanwhile, should allow the business to support investment in online outlets, staffing and operational change. As the calories shift from the restaurant tables and into the supermarkets, we think supermarket groups could deliver a sustained rally over the coming months.

Tesco shareholder but nipped into Sainsbury’s today for a few usual bits. Panic buying has moved on from the initial well documented items through to general fruit and veg and other fresh foods. Also the beer isle was decimated.Looks like the decline in hospitality is quickly gravitating towards the supermarkets.

Bit of profit taking today?

[badtime] 19/3/2020 13:14
