Fender: “I’m sick n tired of defending myself”

Solution - Don’t post your trading history.

Fender: I know I may be in a minority here, but I enjoy reading your posts and really hope you do well with your trades. I don’t understand sometimes why you take such small profits on relatively large trades. If you had not sold the other day, you would be sitting on much larger gains.

The other thing that I wanted to mention is that you didn’t have to post your trade today. In light of your comments a couple of days ago. It was brave to do so but leaves you open to ridicule, as you have found out.

One other matter is that you are quick to go on the offensive when another poster offers criticism of your stance. Possibly justified but everyone to his own

I know you and I have crossed swords a few months ago, but I really wish you well with your M & S shares. I think the board might be slightly more uninteresting if you didn’t’ wear your heart on your sleeve

All the best Fender

The director sold 85,000 shares, not 400,000

Are you sure you have posted on the correct board?

Brokers are quoting £4+ for MKS post full year results

Fforestgwmp: If we see £3.75 next week, I think I will dispose of a fair chunk of my holding. This share has taken all the characteristics of an AIM stock over the last 12 months. It it definitely not for the faint hearted. Tesco might be a less volatile stock.

Fender: best not to engage. There is a perfectly adequate filter button that will do the job

ATB with your recent investment in MKS

Percypipe59: sorry but I think you may be out of touch on most aspects of MKS, not least of all your share price projections from a few months ago

Fforestgwmp: I just wonder if the perception of the MKS clothing lines are seen as unattractive and possibly unfashionable to those shoppers who go to Next. Inevitably there will be pricing differentials but the clothing & home divisions have held us back for years. There are many other retailers offering cheaper (but not necessarily better quality) products which are more attractive. The Next business model is amazing, in comparison. The costs of selling home & clothing products is enormous compared to food. The square footage allocated to selling non food items is substantially greater with much lower returns.o

The Middle East situation is not going to help. Additional fuel costs need to be passed on to the consumer which will make everything much more expensive.

I have been doing some research on the two companies and their respective performance over the last 6 months is interesting.

MKS is down 14%. Tesco is up 10%

MKS seems unloved with shorts opened as recently as yesterday. Tesco have no new shorts opened since October 2024

Seems clear to me about the argument in concentrating on expanding the food side of the business. Home & clothing have always been and will continue to remain a drag on this business.

Retirement, you might be able to get some professional help to deal with your unhealthy obsession with Fender.

We all have different agendas & timescales. What works for him, and he has been successful with his trading strategy, may not work for you. He sold at 407p on a relatively large trade. He may have bought back in at 395p this morning and already showing another profit.

Quite right Carondean. This is a regular event. He still has 6.3 million shares left.

I notice Tesco. & Sainsbury’s have both dropped since 3pm so this could be sector related.

I just became a shareholder here last week having been in SOLGOLD for over 10 years. 3.5 pence for these options seems a very fair price given the potential here.

Well there you have it. Quady is voting to accept the offer. He has been wrong on everything since I first started posting here. Based on that alone, I am tempted to buy300, 000 more shares this morning

Just come up to Bath for the day. The new M&S superstore in the old Debenhams building is truly amazing. If this is to be the template for a number of the new stores, as shareholders, we have a great deal to look forward to

Percy, you need to be very careful if you refer to a posters previous posts. You will get called all sorts of names like “Sicko”.

Quady, Stop changing the subject. This is what you always do when you have been found wanting

DarkAnge: I am sorry you are losing money here. Most people who invested in MKS did so post Covid and are seeing good profits. Marks & Spencer are a great British brand. They have great plans for the future as far as the food stores are concerned. Hang on in there and try not to look at the share price to often.

Jds: I see that Goldman Sachs yesterday reduced their target price for MKS from 470p to 450p

Agree Mike, there are other mining companies who will not want this sold for a pittance. Doesn’t Gina Rinehart’s company have a neighbouring mine.? Rio Tinto, Glencore etc suddenly cone to mind.

I see that Blackrock & Marshall Wace have both increased their short positions on 9th December, albeit by a relatively small amount. Certainly the share price is being driven downwards to a pre cyber attack level. Given the comments made within the half yearly profit summary, you would have hoped that there would be some support around 319p. Seems impossible to believe that the share price was at 390p on 10th November, just a day after the half yearly statement.

The stores I visit seem to be very busy and you would usually expect a decent bounce leading into Christmas.
