TSCO's SP almost climbed up where it was pre X'Mas trading announcement..

Today's increase is attributable to a Buy rating for TSCO from Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs also upgraded Morrisons to hold and lifted its price target on Sainsbury's.

Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrison all made healthy gain today

Mishmos. Your buying days came yesterday. Are you on board?

Mishmos. They are still early days. Lets see what happens. At what price you sold GSK? Hope you won't mind my asking..

Something is going on. Most of us not aware of it. People in the KNOW are minting.

TSCO's reduction in debts announced last month along with the interim accounts, prompted an analyst to comment that it will boost 20p a share. It did not materialise. I hope today's good news will boost substantial share price.

Hal Barron replace Patrick Vallance

It has breached 1400, which seemed only yesterday unbreachable. There is no safety net.

Profit �1.1bn is below consensus expectations of �1.4bn. Hence, fall in SP

TL Williams. You can never buy at the bottom, as the saying goes. I bought at 14.72 just before you.

TL Williams you cannot buy at the bottom, as the saying goes. I bought at 1472 just before you bought it.

I noticed that so far today 19m plus sold against 7m plus bought. Despite that SP went up.

TSCO's SP went up first thing in the morning. Then went down. Now started going up. Reminds me of Duke of York

SP picked up very today. Is it an indicator that market is expecting good figures and decent dividend tomorrow?

Is it a turning point? One swallow doesn't make summer as the saying goes. Difficult to say. Only time will tell.

I have got nothing new to offer. We are all certain that Petra's SP will go north, once the strike is over and problem at Williamson mine is resolved one way or the other. Williamson mine makes up only 3% of Petra's portfolio. If Tanzania government nationalise the mine without compensating, (there is a precedent. In 1972 Tanzania nationalise citizen's surplus properties without compensating) Petra will loose 3% of its portfolio. It is not a big deal. Petra SP has already lost its SP value by 2/3rd. It is very tempting to put my toe in it. The following factors prevent me from doing so.Firstly nobody knows how long the strike will last and secondly how long it will take Tanzania government to resolve the matter. In the meantime the SP will keep on drifting.

My cost over 183. Current SP over 186. Nothing to write home about.

Several investors have bought TSCO's shares for £2 or more a pop. Currently sitting on paper losses. Their only hope is that on 4 Oct 17, the company will declare good dividend. TSCO has failed to pay any div since 19 Dec 14, which is reflected in its SP.

HSBA intends to buy-back $2b worth of shares in near future. It will help to reduce the number of shares available. At the same time part of its dividend is paid out by way of script issue. It will result in increasing number of shares available. It is difficult to understand HSBA's policy.
