Moving up now.

Its looking likely that the first placing via the accelerated book build will now be increased in value and the second placing will be scaled back - a good show of financial strength.

Here is the RNS from last night

The concentration has been on what Ocado Retail can bring to M&S but actually in term of the brand and exposure to the consumer its probably true to say that M&S will give Ocado Retail a much bigger boost.

Up until now Ocado Retail has been a working demonstration and a work in progress to promote and perfect the technology.

With M&S retail skills and branding the Ocado Retail business will very quickly become the supplier of choice to many more UK consumers than it is now and with more capacity being added all the time market share will increase dramatically.

Yes, that's the point and it is Moody's point as well - what we are going to witness with M&S over the next 2-3 years is a complete transformation of the business model. This won't be easy - as Moody's point out - especially as recession looms - but I think M&S management are up to the task.

Its an exciting time to hold the investment and potentially a very lucrative one - especially if the SP follows a similar pattern of growth to Ocado.

Gone.

Simply lack of volume.

Volume was quite high yesterday.

It looks to me that the action on the SP over the last few days or so is probably the final wave of shorts cashing out - taking advantage of the recent drop resulting from the share issue.

I totally disagree - Moody's reports are exceptionally valuable to private investors - they flag up all the issues.

They are also useful for the M&S board giving a clear and concise outline of the pitfalls ahead form a totally impartial source.

The new rating is only to be expected as a result of coronavirus and the expected recession - now M&S have to navigate around the problems and implement and execute a strategy for the future alongside Ocado.

So you base your analysis and conclusions personally on AB and the fact that you are down.
Did you not notice the coronavirus, recession, oversupply in the worlds oils markets and the subsequent fall in Brent?

This is speculation - maybe the Government might reduce or even cut VAT to zero for the hospitality industry for the rest of the year.

A combination of low volume and high volatility all round this morning - it could change back to blue any time.

NO has finished loading and is on her way to Rotterdam with a standard load around 500k - this is the first load bound for Rotterdam since before the pandemic.
It will be interesting to see if Rotterdam is the loads final destination.

26 hours and counting.

The case for investing in oil companies is as a contrarian investment - with the SP low because of trading conditions and lack of sentiment.
While I can understand the logic of that argument and would normally support it, just at the moment with plenty of other contrarian investments - including FTSE100 companies - giving a much more likely route to profit, my view is to wait in the side lines with just a very minimal investment.
I am still very actively following ,my investment here with a view to closely watching Enquest and Brent - when the time is right I will increase my investment but just at the moment I see no real signs of a dramatic recovery in the oil price this year.

NO is now less than 0.4 nautical miles from AK - hook-up should be within the hour.

That's the problem hitman - if the southern states do have another spike the flight numbers will go the other way - the US authorities might even have to impose travel restrictions to the South.

I blame Trump completely for the situation in the southern states. His stance on lockdown gave all the wrong signals to the population and the Republican Governors had to follow his direction. As a consequence they were late to implement lockdown and far too early to lift it. Also his planned rally in Oklahoma shows his selfish contempt for the US people.
