Ontheup in reply ,yes all positive and Possible points you make ,it’s a long time since I’ve tracked a stock where and when to buy has been such a lottery … I am as people know a very very cautious player ,very patient and sometimes I wait too long and miss the boat ..a good example this morning it opened at 393 ( the price I sold ) thought I’d missed out but then for no clear reason I had a steal !! @ 378 what a bargain! and yet here I am sitting on loss of 1k plus 300 in costs .so not as smart as I thought eh.

Hi Couerdelion you think it could fall as bad as 330 ? really !how interesting I was planning. to buying Monday around 350 but reading Dinoken post and now yours I definitely won’t be touching this stock , Thanks !

******

Fender are you thinking about adding to your 1733 shares???

As you know I have not posted for a while,but IMHO you are full of Bull.

It is time you were called out as a Walter Mitty.

Retirment has you sussed also.

Good luck all Holders

Your Post.

Waited ,and waited now back in 347.7 28 Aug 2025 10:44

Feel the time is right now to buy at 3.47 though not outta the woods yet after cyber attack I feel the risk at this price minimal and will match or surpass the 4.41% int where the funds have sat btw in that 4 months since I sold at 380 on a disastrous falling M& S SP ( where is the 450 / 500 suggested 6 months ago ??)my 50k made me £780 on interest 🙂….good luck take a chance now the time is right

Hi Fender5.

So glad that you bought back in, I still find it strange you consider yourself a Trader back in looking for a small margin???

However I will be intrigued by your sell and buy technique, as you post so often please keep us informed.

I too yesterday bought a substantial amount to add to my existing holding planning to sell them around 15th Jan 2026. I had intentions to sell half my existing holdings at the same date this year, however, decided Marks still had further to run and did not do so.

Without the Black Swan event in April I am sure we would be well north of this years High of £4:17p.

Who will come out on top will be quite interesting.

You do realise you received a paltry 1.5% interest on dead money when in the last 6 weeks alone you had opportunity to earn 6% here with a just a little risk.

Sometimes people are too overcautious when investing/trading.

Normal caveats apply. DYOR ect.

Good luck.

**********

Do you understand now? I am sure others do.

Sometimes sitting on your hands and doing nothing can make you money.

P.S Had you not sold April @ £3:80p how much would your holding be worth tonight?

I rest my case.

As always GL and have a great weekend all.

Fender5

FAO Carondean .. I think you got the fig of £6700 from a buy at at 350 sadly that didn’t happen bought and sold several times .

******

Thank you for your honest reply, I think you may have misunderstood my post, on 28th Aug you bought in at £3:47p and traded them shortly afterwards????

The previous day i purchased mine @ a slightly higher price of £3:50p last night I was showing a profit of 13.4% or £6700, these are earmarked for sale by me early Jan 2026 if not before, due to changing circumstances.

My point is, had you held on to your original shares bought that day and done nothing you would be in the region of an additional £3600* up on your day trading methods minus the Buzzes you had doing that.

How can you say no to that amount of cash for the sake of having some fun?

Thank you for showing transparency and GL in any other deals you conclude in the future.

GLAH please DYOR.

Sorry about missing Capitals and Paragraphs...this was not how i wrote it.

?????????

hi fender....back of a *** packet calculation my £50k purchase 27th aug @ 3:50p up until last night was showing £6700:00 profit.

gave me a real buzz all night and today.

still my intention to sell between 5th -10th jan 2026 having sat on my hands doing nothing since purchase.

however, a little weary about update nov but will still hang on based on current momentum as long as it continues.

would you care to tell the board how well your day trading total has now grown to during the same period?

i fully understand if you would prefer not to.

but a comparison would benefit a few newbies and oldies that visit this board.

glah however you chose, i personally prefer a lth hold vs day trading, no point in spending many hours researching to hold a share for such a short time and getting additional costs along the way.

all imvho and dyor etc.

glahs.

Look at the charts....its had a breather.

GL

Sorry JJ I did try to be a LTH ,just missed the buzz win or lose Fender

******

I get the same buzz holding a lot longer than a few days/months/years.

Short termism compulsive behavior appears to be part of your persona.

This is why you touch a nerve with people like Retirment that has a completely opposite view and will always be your antithesis.

Myself I like a mixture of both as does many investors.

I look forward to your next announcement of a sale to realise a profit knowing it will provoke a response from a LTH that also has an exit plan

GLAHs whatever your strategy.

At least we escaped the carnage at 4;00p.m.

GLAH

Fender5

I never thought for a second it would take all that time to get back to that price .

****

Black swan events like the hacking at M&S is a one off, how long did you think it would take to recover?

IMVHO they have done very well under the circumstances and it is my guess they are now one of the most protected IT retailers in the UK, don't you agree?

From my own research everything I have read is positive about the company, even more so recently with announced plans i.e. cafe closures and great inroads towards fashion for Gen Z. Further to this my personal view of the estimated loss due to the hacking of £300mil will be halved before the year end results by cost savings and increased sales/margins, this being the case Marks will come out of this pretty unscathed and much stronger.

You have two choices embrace the positive momentum now or wait until 5th to make a decision once the figures are produced!

As you know I have been pretty bullish on this stock throughout, however, Jan 2026 I may halve my core holding as well as my recent punt as documented in previous posts.

As ever Fender5 and others DYOR I am a simple investor giving my views.

GLAH's

2 Trolls?

Carrington has a fair portfolio, many of his I also hold, however, IMHO he gets very nervous at times and likes a short punt on a share he holds or knows well.

I also do the same for some pin money but consider 6 months as a punt. (Part of the fun)

The reason I know this is his quote on another board. (I am cautious re UK retail atm - looking at recent results for Next, Mitchels and Butler etc it is clear to me that consumers are reigning in spending pre budget) Maybe!

Retailing is where you will get swings coming into Christmas season now is the time to research and pounce, people do not hold back spending at this time of year. Ever!

As for the other troll that posts without holding...well what can I say, cast your rod and he will bite on every occasion.

He needs to invest some funds in LGen. and get 9% divi p.a. and still do better than on deposit.

1 Troll yes, but not two IMVHO.

GLAH.

Nice to see they are preparing for the Post Christmas trading this year.

Not compulsory to work on that day.

Better to have a replenished and tidy store than a disheveled Christmas Eve one, ready to open on 27th.

GLAH

Today you thought you would have a go at Carrington for posting a very decent post.

********

Carrington 8:12

Bought a few back this morning at 353p - gla dyor etc.

*******

You thought this was a very decent post?

My word!

Coming from a guy who puts his money on deposit at 4.6% pa and withdraws it a few months later saying in that few months it got him 4.6%.

£780 do your math man, that equals 1.1% (refer to your own posts)

For your information I was not having a go at him as you perceive.

What annoys me is people that state 'topped up more, bought more this morning etc, then a few days later posting sold @ xxp 'well a profit is a profit'

without any further explanation.

Carrington said nothing about adding to his core holding in his morning post,nor 'I didn't buy back the whole of the shares I sold!' however, in his reply to me he gave further information with respect and without malice.

May i respectfully refer you to your last post. Quote ; ' You don’t have to read them' i.e. My Posts.

GLAH

Carrington

Bought a few back this morning at 353p - gla dyor etc.

*******

Excuse me for asking,but what is the purpose of your post above?

What use is that to a person on this board? how do I use this information to my benefit?

Perhaps if you give a dialogue of why and how many you bought we can gauge your trading strategy and success.

I read your interactions with retirment and understand his views on this share as a LTH as is myself. Although a quick dip in and out with any spare cash I have available. ( My latest being a substantial purchase recently, to hold and sell in Jan 2026 as I declared)

However, you buy at £3.26 and sell at £3.57, a few days later declaring a .31P profit (9%) yet here we are a few days later spending .27p of your profit leaving you with very little left.

You can sell this mornings purchase now a few hours later and still make as much as you did previously if not 50% more!

Now that is luck, retirment inferred that in his previous post, no need for board squabbles.

Good luck in whatever methods/strategies you have but please be more transparent with your short term profit posts and your post today at 8:12.

Gla dyor etc.

Fender5

As an amateur trader need the working cash.

******

As your previous post you have a £50k pot....why do you need working Capital?

Previously you got 1.5% in a deposit account. £780 if I remember rightly....approx £1000 profit this tranche.

All since the cyber attack, are you secretly making money elsewhere?

Asking for a friend.

Amateur

Is someone who does something for enjoyment rather than for professional or financial gain, or it can also describe someone lacking experience or competence in a particular field. You always sit on the fence. which one are you?

Good luck with your day trading, however, it will take you a very long time to match profits alongside a longer term holder here that has done his homework.

Will be interesting to see what your 25k buy 20 odd days ago will be worth on Jan 10th 2026 had you done nothing but sit on your hands.

GL whatever you do.

My whole portfolio down 4.1% today alone, the market down just below 1%.

Am I knicker wetting?

The market goes down, the market rises.

Thats how it works.

P.S.

After 6 months waiting I am finally in profit with JDSports.

All good things come to those that wait.

Nike on the march....no.1 company to benefit, many traders are in this share IMVHO it is very undervalued.

DYOR.

ATB.

This is not an insult.... Fender you are apparently thick skinned.

Fender today.....after 8 posts.

would it be so unreasonable for me just to buy when I want to ? is it not my money , by selling and not buying back for 5 months don’t you think I’ve done well ??

*******

May I suggest you just keep quiet, after 8 posts you have added nothing to this board other to tell people how insulting they are to you although they are trying to help you.(There are none so blind as those who will not see)

How about trading in your own privacy, I do not need/want to know if you are IN or OUT.

However if you have good reasons for buying in, I would be interested on your research that prompted you.

I am sure some of the regular posters/holders would also find added interest.

Well done to all LTHs that have held during this difficult time within the company.

Although I am a firm believer it will come out stronger in future, there are in my opinion many more large companies yet to be attacked by hackers and many more learning lessons by what happened to M&S and spending huge amounts to prevent.

ATB.

Fender5. (today.)

I hope you are right ,at 1st when I saw this figure thrown about months ago I was hoping it was 300m loss of turnover I am right in thinking they are saying now it’s loss of profit?

*********

My word he is at it again, man of your calibre not reading RNS,s. extract below at earliest date to actual attack.

Very clear and easy to read and interpret for a person with average intelligence.

Wow I would not let you loose with £50k of my money.

But hey dyor and good luck to all shareholders you say.

You should practise what you preach, we all know your negative agenda.

Cyber attack update.

In Fashion, Home & Beauty, online sales and trading profit have been heavily impacted by the necessary decision to pause online shopping, however stores have remained resilient. We expect online disruption to continue throughout June and into July as we restart, then ramp up operations. This will also mean increased stock management costs in the second quarter.

Therefore, our current estimate before mitigation is an impact on Group operating profit of around £300m for 2025/26, which will be reduced through management of costs, insurance and other trading actions. It is expected that costs directly relating to the incident will be presented separately as an adjusting item.

Overall, our strategy remains the same and there is no change to our longer-term plans to reshape M&S for growth. We are confident that we will enter the second half with a strong customer proposition, returning to the performance we were delivering immediately prior to the incident and throughout 2024/25, which is outlined in the following sections.

Fender today

I don't bite.

Haha.
