Could we see a new vibrant business? JJ

Mixed results when the detail are considered. JJ

Fender Ocado have some M&S at £120 for kg; this has made me smile. JJ

The more opinions expressed the better but always be polite. Good luck to all who visit here. JJ

Happy to wait until Bonfire Night, what a choice of date? JJ

Best wait till the after lunch trading to assess IMHO. Good luck JJ

The figure of £300m was a worse case scenario and I for one don't believe the impact will be as much as that. If you read carefully what has come out recently from M&S there is a good case to be made for buying MKS now. Of course DYOR and don't make the mistake of believing there is more bad news to come. MKS short positions data can be misleading as at some point they will be buying back the shares they sold. You will know about that after the event when the share price has very often risen beyond your own 'buying in point' . JJ

Whilst I don't hold any BARC I believe they could impact NWG. If BARC figures are an improvement upon market consensus then some investors will favour the former but the converse could also apply. Fingers crossed for the right result for all NWG holders. JJ

Ignoring the first hour of trading I would expect a gain in the share price today. Staggering increase in the div. Good luck all. JJ

Lloyds have posted div increase of 15%. JJ

Fender I stand by my post at 9.42 today. You have been accusing posters of pumping with their strong buys and telling us that the share is going down below £3.20 hence I made a very generous offer that you could have anything below £4. Have a pleasant day. JJ

Fender you have changed your tune, you were telling us it was going down!!! Lets hope we have a good week. JJ

Fender if MKS is above £4 by 17th Jan. 2026 then I win, you can have anything below £4.

The interim results are due at the start of October and we shouldn't be surprised if the share is around £4.50 then. JJ

Fender I have made it clear that I am a long term investor which to me means a 5 year view at least. However I will state here and now that MKS will be trading above £4 by mid January 2026 which amounts to a gain of more than 17% from where we stand today. If I'm wrong I'm prepared to come over to Richmond and buy you a decent meal. What's your counter offer/bet? And I repeat have a great weekend. JJ

Fender but you are the one who has been telling us how you 'trade' and how clever you were to sell at £3.80 and place on deposit. I will give you credit for selling at £3.80 but you might be happy to wear the dunces hat for leaving monies on deposit. Have a great weekend. JJ

Fender because you are a clever trader you could have bought at £3.30 and sold at £3.40 in less than 5 days with your £50,000. Because you are so very clever the £50,000 must be in an ISA so your profit would be a tax free £1,500 in a few days. I do hope you haven't left the money in cash to earn a piddly 4% when you would take more than 9 months to earn £1,500. Come on don't be shy lets hear how very clever you are. We all want to learn from you. JJ

Fender if you read my post and digested the content and linked it to my, and the posts of others you would see a case that this has bottomed out. I am not saying I'm right but you never know I could have called it. I have never suggested that there has not been a fall from £4+ to £3.20s. I have been investing for more than 50 years and have had winners and losers. Some on here have very little experience of investing so if I can help then well and good. Gloating over peoples misfortune is not my way nor am I rude about to other posters. And no one has lost a penny from my comments. I have been very careful to say hold, weak buy, buy in recent time. If someone is going to buy at say £4 and sell after a few weeks at say £3.50 that's their fault. Please don't suggest I am guilty of misleading anyone on here as I'm very careful to give a balanced view. JJ

Five days ago MKS share price was around £3.27 and now hovering around £3.40. This speaks for itself, and yes DYOR. JJ

You may find that you can afford new windscreen wipers. Have a good day. JJ
