But change is upon us...

Dan Coatsworth, investment analyst at AJ Bell, said: "The Bank of England is now expected to start cutting rates before the US Federal Reserve sharpens its knife and that's led to divergent fortunes for the respective currencies."

He added that the "favourite items on the menu to fill portfolios" included Marks & Spencer, which was the recipient of a positive broker note, alongside Next and Sainsbury's. "All three saw their ratings lifted from 'hold' to 'buy' as part of a review of the broader retail sector," he said.

It would be good to get a snippet of news before results but that's only 27 trading days away. And confirmation of what the divi will be.

I'm lost for words Fender, what makes you so confident?

New target set for the year,

industry experts believe M&S, which has 3.4 per cent of the market, could leapfrog Waitrose (3.6 per cent) this year

Morning Bro et all, well that's a turn up for the books. Surely theres got to be something there, everyone has had plenty of chance to consider future options, I doubt he's just turned up to have a look.

Everything is looking good for a spring flush, just need to stay above 250 today. Clocks going forward next weekend should help with evening shopping.

The question is have they both just bought a small amount to tip them over reporting limits or have they indeed between them bought 10% of the company in 5days? If so why? Coincidence both are reported today? 175 tomorrow?

Up 11% in a week from the overdone sell off, not bad and appears to be sustaining so perhaps 1.75 before results. Someone accumulating, perhaps but market isnt taking it too seriously otherwise I'd have expected to see a step up not the gradual rise, time will tell and we're definitely a potential takeover target with sharks on the hunt.

Weather has also changed and looks good for the rest of the month, above average temperatures, might spur people on to get ready for spring summer, new bike? Certainly seeing it here, a local touring campsite opened 1st March and it was a quarter full by the end of the first day and not all season pitches, bodes well.

Has the long awaited Spring arrived? I think our girl was just waiting for the weather to turn so she could put on her new M&S trainers and continue the run she was on last year.

Fingers crossed and GLA

Don't say that to Gatland, we need result now. Nos da

I am a holder but nothing serious, my brother posts more regularly, I dont have much to say here but have three questions

1, if 1 post in 30 days = no understanding of the company. does, 241 posts = a deep understanding but blind to the reality with a sense of desperation? In too deep, should have bought shares in a submarine manufacturer.

2, hundreds of millions in pipeline, nearing 200mln turnover and a name known world wide. Why 17m Mcap? Them damn MMs?

3, if I spend the same amount of time researching Harl as you spend posting how soon until I have the same knowledge as you? Sorry Q4, is that possible?

Think your ship has sailed

I've got a nasty feeling we're not going to see a £1 by Christmas

I see no ships, only hardships

From what I've seen from Chinese negotiators they like protracted and painful to bore you in to submission, I wouldn't be surprised to see their first offer being below Elliotts last, still expect 80-100p and that's too cheap. Anything less is robbery, better to wait it out as we are.

If you're not happy with the company I suggest you get on yer bike.

Thanks for posting Corry, I'd missed that, great news for a Friday, though I suspect that view isnt shared by the Gove household...fantastic.

Dear Market, we're going to make 20m less profit than expected this year, please can you wipe 100m off our Mcap. Reasonable request

Evens vs Halfords, lol, when I bought Mark's & Spencer's shares I didnt compare it to primark, neither are wrong but massively different customer base.

Never good news to have a profit warning but it's still going to make a profit, 25% drop and SP at £1.50, well over done. time to buy for me and have done so, back to £1.65 for a start.
