Backs up my expectations that next months trading update will be a positive one.

There's negative sentiment at the moment and the current share price is based on (historic) information that is readily available. I think that the trading update next month is the key info that will determine the direction over the medium term. Personally, I think that there will be a good revenue number and hope that the other numbers are encouraging too. That's based on the results from other relevant companies and how I see Marstons performing within the sector (including the small sample of local pubs). I'm holding until at least that date to see if the sentiment changes after the update - hopefully people will share my view and push the price up a bit before then! If the update is negative, I'll be taking a loss and getting out. I see it as the potential turning point for the share price.

Best comment I've seen on here. It's good to separate out the short and long term and have a strategy for each. I hold MARS and can see many positives for the long term but have made a profit by trading the short term volatility.
