it was £2.37 at one point but has declined a tad before close.
Tesco has increased a little today, I think this particular website isn't working correctly today for this stock.
Sainsbury up 14% this should be trading near 250 by now, seems like it's being held back but should come strong in the end.
If anything is safe in this present time surely the supermarkets are. A big bounce today from others yet Tesco lagging behind. I have just dumped my Tui shares at a huge loss so lets hope I can turn things around here.
Huge benefit from rate relief should move sp up imv.
When things start to look up, this share will hopefully move up with the market. We will see.
Everyone needs something in life that is dependable :)
Elgrebe,i agree.As i have posted on other threads we bought the SAYE options giving us over 18000 in total and will hold and see how things play out.I had to go to my local store in Hatfield yesterday and it was worse than Christmas.
Incredible the swing in price, can't help feeling it's not bottomed out yet though despite the obvious frenzy in stock piling.
its strange isn't it, I would never have considered Tesco a defensive stock but I am told the volumes they are doing at the moment is on par with the run up to Christmas! this one should see a bounce albeit maybe not a large one considering the wider mood.
I've around 30k in this, bought for 1.94 and 2.24, I was going to sell 50% or all of my holding a week or so ago and buy more Barcs but looking at the way the UK/world is moving I feel this could be a good place to keep some "rainy day" money, accessible if/when I need it. In times like these (understandably) basic human needs become more essential. This share has held up well and could continue to do so. I don't know if there will be any great gains in the SP but at moment it's a definite hold for me IMO.
Local Tesco packed today - like pre-Christmas.
People buying whatever is on the shelves. Haven't got your regular cereal/ biscuits? Well take whatever else is there.
If people cannot go out to pubs restaurants cinemas or go on holiday for fear of ending up in quarantine then they can always load up at tescos and sit at home in front of the telly eating their Tesco own brand custard creams.
As i have said,keep your nerve.From £2.11 back to £2.30.
I am bored stiff with this virus.When the Chief medical officer says panic then i will panic.
I the meantime this share is undervalued so any spare money i have i will buy more.
theredbaron..... I think you already got it.... and its affecting your brain.... not only that but it has compounded your Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Now go and lay down before you have a nervous breakdown..
Final ex dividend date is around 16 may going on last year..
special dividend is when they announce it
Can you please let me know when TSCO going ex-div? Thank you.
Get ready for scare tactics.I had a very small holding on A1M in Rose petroleum which after much hype,tanked.The daily rubbish posted got to much for me in the end.Share prices will fluctuate daily but eventually the market will balance out.
Wow £2 doesn’t seem to far away now .. those that automatically sold at 230 got a bargain at today’s prices .. so the question is will it go lower and or do you buy your shares back and pocket the bonus or invest the lot and pat yourself on the back you increased your holding 5%
Bottom fishing at the moment can be dangerous game to your health and wealth never mind covid 19!
Nerves of steel indeed required in this roller coaster market.
Hopefully Trump will get it .
A case of riding out the storm.The company i work for,Computacenter was touching £20 10 days ago but this morning is back at £13.Just a case of keeping our nerve.
Hi Chelwood, I think we are going to need it at this rate, be lucky, Colin.
Morning All and thanks for all the posts.I did speak to Tesco yesterday and the advisor confirmed if you buy the shares under option then you would receive any special dividend.
Are these shares or options? You need to check your scheme.
If you have shares and are on the register then yes you will receive any dividend for certain. If they are options almost certainly not unless you exercise.
A quick way to check is did you get the last dividend that was paid...
This is based on logic and no specific knowledge of your scheme so read the T&Cs for confirmation.
Any dividend special or otherwise will be paid to attributable shareholders on the record date.
So if you own the shares you get the divi. Any options or warrant holders will not be on the regsiter so unless they exercise prior to the ex divi date then no cash distribution.
Therefore it is often in the interest of the holder where rhe dividend is material to exercise before the ex divi date as your purchase price will remain constant but the value of what you arw buying will decrease with the dividend payment.
A good example of this is in a takeover situation, often options holders will have to exercise pre takeover ro get the benefit
Now one good point to note is that I haven’t asked for the shares yet from my save as you earn . So if the ex dividend date say was tomorrow I’d miss out? ( really don’t know to be honest ) so on that note I’m requesting the shares ASAP! Now I did £400 2014 and the following year 2015 I did another £80 at 151p my question is as I don’t know the answer will the shares that haven’t matured qualify for 50p. Or will the option price go lower ?.. any thoughts on that one people
