Member Info for Chelwood

I invested £5k and have gone from 252000 shares to next to nothing.Thankfully i have more than made it back in other investments.
Happy to sit with my minimal holding more for a bit of fun.it may surprise,good luck to you all

Had a couple of days off.I was looking forward to logging on here to more drivel from Eccles04.Shame

Should of gone to Wales last year which was cancelled.The company gave me £300 of vouchers to compensate.We also received a £500 bonus for earnings per share reaching £1 and a hamper at christmas.
There is a reason that the 3 of us have stayed the years we have.

This is starting to resemble a company i invested in a few years back.One individual who claimed not to be invested posted daily,always negative comments.Willing the company to fail.
Buy for 180m sell for 8billion sounds like good financial judgement to me.

Fair points.Do Lidl and Aldi have clubcard prices and a 10% discount card.

In addition i would say that a B and M opened near us and after much nagging i went there and was in and out in 3 minutes.Went straight home and jumped in the shower,itching and scratching wondering if i had caught fleas off the people in there,and that was just the staff.
An eye opener to the real problems in this country

Going large,you make a very salient point.I thank god that i am in a position to use Tescoand not have to count the coppers.My own personal view of Lidl and Aldi is they serve a purpose but its good fortune if you can find the same item a week later.

Morning Arsenal58,fellow gooner myself.
Yes,is the answer to your question.I have been with them 20years and watched them grow.
There are big hopes for Computacenter USA,now a 2000strong workforce.

I work for the company,20yrs.Soon to be opening in Romania.
USA starting to look big with Pivot now on board

I used to read this board under Rose every day until some jerk posted as much negativity as he could.His sole aim was to see the company collapse.He wasnt invested here,just got a perverse pleasure in others misery.
If he reappears,i am off

Pleasently surprised that my comments have been well accepted.At school back in the late 60/early seventies we did Logs and algebra which i have never understood.How i wish the housing market was explained

Morning
Sorry to hear about the circumstances with your wife.
My own opinion is more than ever we have to look outside the box,so to speak.The days when the wife stayed at home and Dad worked 9 to 5 are long long gone.
I have no issue with pensions but think it is short sighted to think they are the be all.
The pension provider is in business to make money and keep there shareholders happy and myself and others were dissuaded from taking all our money.If everyone did there would be no shareholders and no pension company.
Finally i do believe our kids should be taught about financial services and their workings at school because few have any idea of the future they are walking into.

Morning Sid/Everyone.
If i may i will explain my/wifes position.
Me,in receipt of a pension from Bae systems.Wife receives Tesco pension,also due to retire this Sept.
Rewind to 2014.Wife and i decided to take 25% from our respective company schemes,my wife commenced her one and only pension.I paid the additional tax and took the remainder which we banked in Isas.We imediately commenced new pensions with our companies.The monthly pensions we receive have been used to put £500 each into our respective company SAYE schemes.My wifes Tesco shares which she bought and kept have netted her £8000 special dividend with 13000 shares to sell as and when.Mine should net approx £100000.
The pensions we recommenced in 2014 have again been taken,this time both have paid all taxes and lump sums put in tax free Isas.
We will retire with approx £220000-£240000 in the bank,sheltered from tax.
End result is 2 x state pensions + 1 company pension each will give us £2000 pcm.
Personally I would rather have £220k etc under my roof than a pension fund where the money can go up and down like a sparrow on a dung heap.How much will a company give you per annum for £220k ?

Why do you feel the need to post,i am sure no one is interested.
If you think others are better then go and invest your money there.
If Tesco is that bad why will you still invest,you must see potential

In my opinion Tesco would be an attractive opportunity for Amazon should they be interested assuming Tesco agreed.
As for share price in Tesco at the moment,it will likely rise as most do.
As an example i have shares in the company i work for which i bought through SAYE at £3.Price this morning is over £22.Point being,shares rise,shares fall.

I bought in to Rose after a solid tip from the Daily Mail.Invested around 5k and lost the lot.Have about £50 left here.Strangely enough it did me a favour in as much as a novice investor i was green enough to think i could make easy money.
However i started to do SAYE schemes in my company and my wifes and have more than made up the 5k,i am glad to say.
I have a 1000 shares here and will keep them good or bad,as a reminder.

This will come good.We are going through unsettled times.
There will be winners and losers with the SD,that is life.

Morning All
Now the deed is done,can we find something else to discuss.
1.Harry and Meghan on the Oprah show.
2.Covid.
3.Anything but the SD.

Parting shot from Dave Lewis ?

Another week and i am losing the will to live.
