No mention of the Canadian deal special divi yet?

At it's finest. LSE never lets you down. Let's open it up 2% down, take some stop losses, panic the retail investor, so the main players can hoover up their shares before we take it up to where it should have opened anyway on those set of results.

I'm with you on the divi. All these share buy backs have given me nothing. Why they call it shareholder returns is beyond me.

Guess things don't go up in a straight line. As long as it doesn't do the usual EZJ retrace back.

RT. Time will tell I guess. Come back to me in a couple of months and we'll discuss it then.

Look, RT the uso cannot be changed without the government. Sunak has said no. Do you really think in election year, with the post office scandal fresh in everyones minds now that it's been media force fed to everyone, that he's going to back down? As for Labour, how are they going to agree and sign a death warrant to 1000's of jobs which will be at odds with the CWU? Doesn't really fit does it? This will be all over the news as probably most journos and people in general think royal mail has something to do with the post office (orher than collecting mail from them). Mark my words, it will get messy. Just for info, I worked for them for 23yrs but left last ye (best thing I ever did) and have no shares in IDS, or intend to. Just offering up my opinion on what I can envisage happening. Good luck all.

Very messy. Sunak addament that they aren't budging from six days a week USO. Starmer I would presume has a similar stance. He has to doesn't he? Union will absolutely not stand for three days a week delivery. It's up to the government and then the workers whether royal mail goes to the wall or not.

Do they really know what they are talking about? Today saying retail sales in December were down 3.4%, with food sales especially poor! Thought MKS and Tesco at least have already reported sales significantly higher!

Be thankful for (very) small mercies I guess.

Yeah, mkts mark down honesty. Typical.

Where did you read that? Thought it said results were in line with their expectations?

Hopefully major forces driving the price down before trading update so they can load up. Unfortunately as soon as the tide turns in a share that has steadily been rising, the auto trading panics a bit and it can become a bit of a snowball effect in my observation. The facts remain, m n s have done very well over Christmas so we'll see what tomorrow brings and hope the US inflation figures don't put a dampner on it.

4%up, then back again today?

What I've noticed most in our medium sized store is this Xmas they really got their stocking ,excuse pun, levels right. Hardly anything having to be yellow sticker marked down heavily on xmas eve as has happened previously. Must be a good sign for the company profits even if we didn't get many bargains.

Upped target from 510-630 today...if any sway is to be held by analysts forecasts.

......and some people actually believe in buybacks.

Not share related but anyone else finding looking at this site on a mobile almost impossible due to ads flipping around. So blxxdy frustrating!

But shares go up and down with markets. I'd sooner have a nice spcl dividend in my bank, hold the shares for however long till I want to sell. Share buybacks do nothing for a share price in my experience. Shell and BP have spent a load on buybacks, look at their performance over the last month. No. Give me the money in a divi, thanks.

Course there's a difference if it's not listed in the UK. If you're broker doesn't allow trading in the exchange TUI is listed then you won't be able to trade (sell) your shares. You'd have to open an account with a broker that does and then transfer them. Also there will be an exchange rate fee to take into account.

Truth is, it's probably more profitable for the company to take customers money and lie about when they are going to get around to delivering the items and then pay the fines, than it is to staff accordingly. Just how management are playing it at the moment and have been since COVID. Shocking really.
