and three little duckling are not getting in line ,lol
They have done very little in 10 years so surprised you were expecting any action in 3 months. This is basically a dividend share. You get your 4+% but no increase in share price. Only the directors of Tesco’s get rich from this company
My wife works at the Hatfied extra.I understand they try and place staff via a heatmap which to me is bonkers.
Personally once they get shot of staff i doubt they will replace.Great if the self scan works which it rarely does for me
So now in the morning there is NO CHECKOUT OPERATOR on until 8 am
So after two mornings of hearing the complaints as I finish ( buying my paper)hearing and seeing frustration of customers with trolleys having to scan at basket self service I wonder how many complaints it will take to get a operator back .
Again the elderly have been sacrificed for a quick buck saved ,
Serving customers,serving the community isn’t that what they like to preach.
Tesco is not alone Morrison’s two evenings running have had only one operator on and again fed up customers.. “ I rattled off a complaint and email to them as well to sort themselves out”
I tipped these last year as a as to diversify away from Tesco. Whilst there dinosaur stores trundled along the tie up with Ocado is exciting , Also having to up their online presence due to the pandemic has paid off, interesting to note their on line presence is bigger than boo hoo.
So they made a 1st loss in history, how did the shares react , positively up over 5% .
Meanwhile, Tesco just trundles down the same tram lines zzzz
Disposal of the Asia interest resulting in a So called special dividend that was basically a bonus to the Tax man and a slap in the face to shareholders. Shares were then consolidated giving 15 6.33p for every 19 5p held to try stop share price fall, Saying your new share was a bigger stake therefor your dividend will be greater share. Most people thought they were in for a bonus but if you sell part of your business and share out the money instead of investing it back into the company your assets are reduced as is the companies value hence the share price fall. History shows the price should fall a bit more yet after ex div but who knows ?
Been holding here for 3 months and must admit it's as boring a share than I ever owned... Bought at 223p and we where we started.
Can anyone give me a reason to hold on as looking elsewhere... I have a big cash amount here and yes there's the divi but would have made more selling in the 230s.
shaunymac...the special dividend debacle.
All. New poster here. Can I just ask what sent these from over £3 to suddenly plunge around 11th February? Just sold my RMG shares and looking for a new investment.
Thanks
hoping this will go a lot higher than 230s, Hargreaves have been bigging this one up, as the share to buy for 2021, saying that mind, they also promoted Neil Woodford fund, oh dear -:((
good luck guys
Leas,
yes I think if Tesco reach into the 230's I'll be out and try something different . .
lti, Well the dividend is ok here, but there are better dividend payers, such as lgen, for me i want one share that will hold up in troubled times, and this one fits the bill , everyone needs food whatever, so next time we get a big drop in share price, I will top up
good luck all

''lti , as you are not impressed with other peoples strategy's, can i ask you what yours is''
yes, I always sell at higher average prices than my average purchase prices.
If a stock of mine falls where I believe there not to be a reason for it I will purchase more.

I have been dipping in and out of Jet2 over the last few months. Better returns than TSCO if you’re trading. Bought last year at just under 2 and sold at 8 but have been buying and selling between 12 and 15 more recently.
Not a share tip but worth a look if you like a trade.
You could make money by selling and buying back in if and when it drops back .. It had been bouncing between 235 and 220, post dividend that could mean it dropping back to 214 ish .. it's my plan but would like to see it at 230 before selling .. just my view,. everyone has their own strategy ..
Yes thats what i am doing gary i hold shares in all food retailers, the last year has shown that foodies have been able to trade throughout the pandemic, its the 4% income i am interested in. gla
The only strategy there is with TSCO is hold for the dividend.
If you want to make money by a share rising in value any time soon this isn't it, there are plenty of those elsewhere.
lti , as you are not impressed with other peoples strategy's, can i ask you what yours is

In the past now too. Each investor has their own strategy to hopefully make money. Personal circumstances are probably the biggest influencer on those decisions. I retired early as a result of my decision making and of course ‘lady luck’ and now focused on lower risk investments that protect my capital with the potential of making gains.
Not necessarily overnight or in a short period of time.
I do occasionally gamble of course but mainly for the thrill but mindful of potentially making a loss.
Yeah, but we're really discussing the period just before this dividend ..

Well the best strategy would have been to have bought at 55p in 1988, sold at 350p in 2000,
bought at 200p in 2003. sold at 600p in 2007, bought at 200p in 2016.

''Well the best strategy would have been''
someone else having a laugh.
Well the best strategy would have been to sell at 235 and buy back in at around 220 .. that's like a 15ish pence dividend .. I was hoping for it to hit 235 this week and I would have been out ..

Shock! Horror! Share price down on XD day. Also have this as an income investment. I see this as capital growth too given time. Will elect to take more shares.
