true to form the share price is improving.
Always a positive when directors buy.
Just belatedly noticed RNS from 15th November. Director waded in with £40K @230p. Promising.
Hi. You’ve missed this years save as you earn scheme. You can however join the buy as you earn scheme.
The BAYE is an ‘at risk’ scheme which means you buy shares at the market prices. So you can gain and lose money on this one. There are timescales involved when selling too to avoid paying tax and NI. You purchase shares in this scheme once a month before tax and NI is deducted from your pay so you get more shares for your money.
SAYE is much leas risky. You can only join once a year and shares are allocated to you at the start of the scheme at a discounted price of 20% less than stock market price. You save for 3 or 5 years and then have the option to take the shares or the cash at the end(whichever gives you profit) you can also opt to take the cash at the end if the share price is less than at the start. - I think this has only happened once in the 30 years I’ve been doing it. All the information is available on the company staff website for you to see and explains how to join.
I'm a Tesco employee, I want to invest in shares here but which scheme that Tesco offer is the best choice?
Vulture
Same here, loads don't do it, particularly the younger generation. Everything seems to be geared towards wanting it now with no forward planning. Over the years the saye schemes (and to an extent baye) have served me very well, to the point of enabling me to buy a nice house with no support from family.
And so they should, I see many people sat in their cars charging for free with no intention of shopping in the store.
Last year was 242 or something like that which I didn't put in. Prior to that it was 192 iirc and 218. I just do 3 yearly so I have 1 coming to an end in a few mo ths. The same next year then a gap year until this one matures. So many people in my store don't do it and it's a no brainer.
*I for one
I got one have absolutley had a piece of it. I even cancelled last year's and doubled up on this one.
General market was in a dwonturn and all retail stocks were down, even winners.
On a related note who else who works for the company here got in on pretty much the bootom price for the next Save as you earn scheme at the discounted price of 182p? The timing of it coincided really nicely.
So Tesco want to charge shoppers who charge their car for free , and there is an outcry from the media . I have to pay for my diesel to do the same thing they are doing with their electric cars , drive them ! They already don't pay road tax , will they want free tyres next!
Pathetic!! Havn't senior management got better things to do with their time? like helping at checkout or stacking shelves.
I wouldn't go in Lidl even if the logo was pink spots on a yellow background. Its a totally different shopping experience, which isn't for me.

what is your game on this board?
Empty checkouts are not good for investors. Sainsbury's share price has collapsed -65% in the past 15 years, and it is currently lower than 1988, a third of a century ago, when Maggie Thatcher was still in power!
Long may it last!! nice quiet civilised checkout in Sainsbury today.
Was in an Aldi over the weekend. Never seen a UK supermarket so busy. Every till was 5 or 10 shoppers deep, trolleys brimming over with stuff, and staff working flat-out at 100% capacity. Suspect the next Kantar numbers will show yet another huge marketshare leap for Aldi UK this fourth quarter.

''Many of their shelves are simply empty''
it doesn't help when you have the likes of Gazzleberry spending his time disrupting the Lloyds board virtually everyday, instead of putting goods on the shelves.
It is not as if he is a Lloyds shareholder - just uses it for his politics.
Politics aside, my local store has become a joke. I used to like to do scan as you shop but they 'upgraded' it and now it is a disaster. In many certain parts of the store the signal is lost but you still might get a beep to make you think the item has registered - it has not. I check very carefully to ensure every item is accounted for.
Today, when I reached the till, all the customers had been selected for basket check, including me. There was only one staff member to do the checks!! I went over to scan my few items through self-scan then handed the scanner I'd used to a very grateful staff member. So much for making it easy for the customer.
Many of their shelves are simply empty, but they share that problems with most stores these days.
time ever looked at tsco board. OMG it`s infected by at least moronic clown clear aim of dissing tesco. -leave you to guess -should not be hard . 4 days ago he said mordaunt no chance , rishi fading . it will be good to have Boris back.
someone to follow haha
Not sure on a full scale takeover but rumours are AO maybe taking up space in stores for electrical goods sales. Would be a good partnership and good use of space in larger stores.
Some folks live in dreamland! Tesco has been thru 2 major recessions in 15 years and the share price has plunged a staggering -65% in that timeframe. There is nothing "defensive" about Tesco whatsoever.
GazzleB > Thanks for the heads up 10-20% it's a great start it only leaves 90-80 % to attract in case of a hostile battle. if you get my idea although why amazon has not moved yet is mind-boggling all these outlets for their deliveries come on its ats a win-win scenario with their every last-mile delivery cost! think out loud how much they could save on fuel and delivery costs it's just insane to think it's not going to happen in some shape or another form it's inevitable in my opinion
