Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
I'm with Carrington on this one. I've bought several M & S suits which have served me well and still look smart with no chance of them (as Mitch puts it} FALLING APART. Mitch describes them as Primark quality at M & S prices. I'm afraid I know very little about Primark clothing, but I can't help wondering whether there is such a thing as Primark QUALITY. Perhaps it would be a good idea for Mitch to buy some shares in M & S (they're on the way up), sell them and spend some of the profit on a suit from Primark and one from M & S. Will they be the same quality? I very much doubt it.
Not looking good today. Very poor start. Does anyone know why?

On 2nd October I posted that I expected Mks share price, which stood at 282.60, to improve slowly, gradually, and would be well above 300p by the end of the year. As I write, the price is 292.80, so, although it has just dipped slightly, it is well on track.
£1 for a coffee seems very reasonable to me. Certainly no need to lug a flask around. Perhaps World-go-round can enlighten us with words of wisdom on this subject.
Excellent post from Pokerchips, followed by the usual pessimistic tripe from World-go-round. Pokerchips reminded me of the well-known saying: "You have to speculate to accumulate," and it was a very sensible post, whereas World-go-round's dirge was, as usual, completely devoid of any logic.

I am holding on as well, hoping for an improvement shortly, so I hope you reach your target before long although I will sell my shares if and when the share price goes above 300p.
I fully agree with you that £4 by the end of year seems to be completely out of reach but I do expect the price to shortly begin to improve slowly, gradually, and to be well above 300 by then.
No posts for a while, so where have all the optimistic posters gone? Have they all decided M & S is not a good buy after all? Or perhaps they have finally been swayed by the illogical and utterly pessimistic posts of our most consistent scribe, World-go-round. Admittedly, Mk's share price is disappointing at the moment but I am still confident that it will improve considerably in the next few months, and I feel that at the present price it is a good buy for anyone who has not already purchased some.
Don't allow yourself to get too worked-up about World-go-round's comments. He obviously, for whatever reason, has a complete hatred of Debenhams and all their employees, and his recent "red triangle road to hell" statement about Debenhams staff was absolutely detestable. I fully agree that such diabolical posts should never be allowed to appear. DOES NO-ONE EVER CHECK THEM? After all. it clearly states "READ OUR RULES BEFORE POSTING."

Take my advice: Instead of moaning about firms that are "struggling" get into Marks & Spencers. At the present price it's the best buy on the market.
I believe (and hope) that the share price has bottomed out today. I don't expect a sudden upward surge, but I do expect a gradual upward movement over the next few months.
There are few answers to the problems because Marks management are still trying to find the answers. But, despite the problems, I still feel that M & S should be a higher price than it is and I have every confidence that the various problems will be dealt with efficiently by the present management. I remain confident that the prediction recently made by Carrington, £4 by the end of the year, will come true. Another major buying factor is, of course, the substantial dividends.
What makes people so sure that Mike Ashley will make a takeover bid?
On 4th June, with the price at 289.30, N1 Shares wrote: "Now is the time to buy." On 8th June, with the price at 291.60, Carrington predicted £4 by the end of the year. I fully expect Carrington's prediction to come true. Despite a few blips the price has risen by well over 20p in the last five weeks and I believe the forward momentum will continue. Despite constant negative, and sometimes idiotic, comments from World-Go-Round, I expect that in 12 months' time Marks share price will be nearer to 500 than 400.
Good recipe? Just TRIPE, as usual.
Many thanks to Myosotis for his excellent recent posts, full of factual information about Sirius Minerals, and never diverting to other subjects which have nothing to do with Sirius Minerals. His posts are brilliant.
