...why anybody thinks the BOD needs to say anything, if there's no news to report then there's no news.... the shares are dipping because of recent poorer trading which we are all aware of together with market corrections these last few days. The main challenge as I see it is that some confidence has been lost by the brand, this risk is factored into the price, however don't rule out the (remote) possibility you may lose all of your money here.... I will be topping up as I'm confident things will pick up, however patience is needed, I bought my first tranche at �1.26 clearly far too early, however that's my fault not the BOD's....patience needed...if you can't wait, then sell and buy something else.

Looks like market a bit disappointed. Had a good run recently however. Medium / Long term prospects looking solid. Hoping for stabilisation at around £2.05. However feel sub £2 most likely in short term.

Pleased.

Cheers Jonjo - Things looking good....might even get a blue finish today....

A small correction is very much on the cards, we've zoomed ahead a little in recent weeks and I estimate fair value (even with the impending good news on Xmas sales) at around 2.05 - 2.10. I thought CARRINGTON made a good call in selling some shares at 2.14 + yesterday. I was holding on for 2.16 today and was going to sell my holding and buy back in later. Bit of a slow start meant that I missed my opportunity! I'm going to sit tight and hope I'm wrong, however wouldn't rule out a slide back to 1.90's short term before onward push as year progresses. I'm a LONG TERM holder and would only sell to buy back in at a (hopefully) better price later. Good luck to everyone

Justin Urquart Stuart states Tesco “looking good” ahead of results....

Hi Mate. Whilst i don't agree with your position re Tesco at the moment (I think they represent good value at current price) I find your opinions interesting to read, well thought out and containing genuine sentiment regarding this stock. Whilst your position differs to mine I'm fully aware (after 20 years buying and selling shares) that to be successful at this game you need to pay attention to and consider a wide variety of views even if they do not tally with your own. Keep the opinions coming and it will be interesting to see which way the price goes in the next six months (whilst hoping to god you are wrong!) All the best. Furry

...all the posts below in and around mine....both positive and negative.. cheers!....there is no need to get annoyed or score points on these message boards.....they are great for sharing info and opinions. Think 50p is EXTREMELY unlikely and £1 pretty unlikely (although wouldn't rule it out) I would look to purchase another £2k at around £1.13 and same again at about £1. Hardly a sophisticated strategy but I'm having a decent year so pretty pleased. Keep the info and opinions coming (but please no arguing and squabbling - total waste of everyone's time!) Best of Luck to Everyone

Thanks GaryDav2, I hope to have caught the falling knife at the bottom but this VERY rarely happens....wouldn't rule out further falls in the weeks ahead, however fancy this as a decent long term play. I'm a little older now so rarely day or short term trade (with the exception of Tullow Oil which I dip in and out of). I'm trying to build up a portfolio of rock solid shares that have been a bit in the doldrums but have good potential and dividends play a big part in my thinking. Saga is about 7% now so see lots of upside in the future. Good Luck all!

Right on the bell at 126.299. I'm pleased to adding SAGA to my portfolio. Oversold and ripe for takeover by large insurer or equivalent looking to diversify a little. (I'm looking at you Aviva) All of this is in my humble opinion of course....and I'll soon be old enough to be interested in SAGA products!! GL ALL!

...I'll be buying a tranche of these shares, Fundamentals and Instinct telling me this is a good buy in price. Just a question of do I buy just before the bell or tomorrow morning?? ....let see what next 10 mins brings...

....extending my sympathy to everyone on here (including myself) with the refinancing news I thought we would be over £2 and with oil price now flying on pipeline crack I would have expected £2.20 plus. Still we languish in the £1.90s although a nice increase for me I feel mildly disappointed. I don’t like making predictions but going to stick neck on the line and forecast a BIG increase today.

People arguing on these boards and petty point scoring is incredibly dull for the rest of us....not that it will make anyone stop.....I'm hoping for stability at around £2.05 until the new year....any further mini surges may lead to a sharp correction IMO....

that with Oil where it is, the refinancing deal etc Tullow should be trading at about £2.20 even with the debt. Notwithstanding this I will sell around £2.10 ish which will realise a tidy profit.

....at anything sub £1.30....keeping a close eye on this.....looks overdone to me....

From Goldman Sachs....all the way from Sell to Buy in one swoop.....great news for all of us who kept the faith and took the risks in buying these when they were unloved....charging ahead today....

Think it’s the main reason for today’s rise together with Ocado news. Unlikely to affect Booker deal Sorry about redundancies but great news for Tesco shareholders.

At 1.6790. Happy with that.

Then I’ll be back in. Not lots of free cash at the moment as it’s all tied up but got eyes on this, ICAG, Lloyds and Inmarsat. Problem with Tullow is if you sit on your hands too long it turns and before you know it £2 has been and gone...

Brokers really are a bit useless aren't they. Falling letter volumes? Yes we all know this, this revenue stream has been falling for years and will continue to do so. Parcels are where it's at and RM are the most efficient courier IMO. Well positioned for the growing tide of internet shoppers. Great buying opportunity.
