Did you see someone sell 7 million shares at close today? Is that a common thing? I saw the share price then drop slightly. Cheers guys.
Rest easy, the markets are in turmoil due to the Beijing outbreak so knee jerk reaction for a second wave. Coming week with the easing of UK Covid alert level reducing and MARS results this day next with confident figures should bring an ease to worried eyes.
marstons sp has been rather depressing over the last week.
fingers crossed it goes back up to 70's+ soon
On the question of leases/rent holidays does anyone know when Mars will start charging tenants again.
Some tenants maybe unable or unwilling to reopen when given the ok but the breweries need them open.
I suspect that some people are going to really like the previous post and some people are going to really hate it.
to Marmite.

In the background, the Fed is helping to keep it all afloat, of course. Can't do any harm as US election looms but ultimately unsustainable.
Very volatile and little relation to FTSE these last couple of days. I'd say MMs spooking weak holders to collect cheap stock as we approach easing of distancing measures to 1 metre, which pubs say makes the difference between profit and failure. Don't be a victim of mugging.
just don't open any links!
Just don’t rickroll me on this one ??
How many Pubs do Marstons have in NI?
Northern Ireland pubs open
Beta c. 1.3. Any number above 1 means the stock is more volatile than the index. I'd be wary of buying while the main indices are so volatile.
CORRECTION
MARS moves more than the index , both up and down; in other words it has a high beta, which reflects its higher perceived risk relative to the index as a whole.

could be a whole raft of concerns which is making many in the market nervious. The emergence of further Covid cases in China is clearly having an effect.
Probably just a low point of the day, 4p movement either way isn't too much given the state of the markets right now. I'll top up below 60p if we get there, I'm in this one for the long term 3-5 years. IMHO. DYOR.
I was wondering that myself. FTSE 100 and 250 now down less than 1% and MARS down over 4%. Odd.
any clue why the sp has dropped suddenly??
It appears that BJ has ask for an urgent review on reducing the 2m social distancing requirement. Just on the speculation itself the sp should reach a new recent high. BJ is very likely to try and increase his popularity in the next few days, weeks. Once either the partial (outdoor space) or full opening of pubs is announced the sp will approach 100. All this is due to happen in 15-20 day window. This share has a potential profit margin of over 35% short term. Who doesn’t like a pint??
@tricky752. But if he doesn't and didn't see airline stock as worth/viable holding for the next ten years then he IS doing as he says to do.
Trent we are on the same Hymn sheet.
No one knows what the eventual outcome of this pandemic is going to be not only Economically, but to Societies generally.
The illusion many seem to be under...…..everything will return to normal within a year or so, are really fooling themselves.
There are/have been astute investors who have/are making a lot of money. The market we are in facilitates Traders, the trick is knowing where to be and when to get out. Such investors, wisely, keep their mouths shut.
Interestly the note the large number of new posters on many sites since lockdown. Maybe they are bored or possibly believe a pot of gold exists to be found in this market. Unless they are lucky it might have been best to keep furlough/ loan funds in a safe place.
I do believe the market will face another adjustment once the true cost of this pandemic is known....at present it is pure guesswork.
The World is not going to return to what we have known and we all need to adjust our expectations.

Warren Buffett is often mentioned, being a Guru of the Market, even he has serious misgivings where economies are heading, sold huge chunks of his portfolio and now sitting on an enormous Cash-pile.
One issue which is yet to be evaluated, there are others, the current Global situation is presenting Climate Change activists with a gold opportunity to influence Economies going forward. Do not underestimate the potential changes which will get traction. Just keep your eyes open!!!

@ Mrahman20.
I'm not sure this is the last chance to get in, to be fair. I can see another chance to buy in/add to this and other shares in the sector in the not too distant.
The reason being, at the risk of being controversial, is because of those attending these "protests".
Not wanting to go into the rights or wrongs of them, as readers of my post will have their own position on this matter. I have mine, which I would prefer to keep to myself, in order to keep any debate on it civil.
The reason being, we are still part way through a pandemic, which is killing thousands of people across the globe on a daily basis, Governments are, in my view likely to come down quite heavily on new lockdown measures when so called second waves of the virus take hold, and take hold they will, if people persist in being in close proximity to others not knowing if they are or have been infected, risking not only their own health and well being, but also the health and wellbeing of elderly or vulnerable family members.
This is to say nothing of the knock on effect on the Country's economy, or the financial consequences connected directly to the businesses themselves.
No business can survive indefinitely for an unnecessarily extended time frame without income or with a heavily reduced income. This in turn puts livelihoods at risk, along with inevitable consequences.
Just my point of view of course.
Perhaps. However, I have a core stock holding that I leave in certain stocks. I then have some money that I like to have a ‘bit of fun with’ if I feel it is a decent opportunity. Why, well I do not have an infinite pot. Some I have a core holding for and still trade a bit which can add to my core holding.
I guess even Mr B does not do as he says because he would not have exited airlines at their recent lows. Not even the guru gets it right all the time.....and I am far from a guru at this or I would not be here.
When you buy a stock, plan to hold it forever
Once a high quality business has been purchased at a reasonable price, how long should it be held?
