When M&S are 100% online you can expect the share to be trading above £3.80. And small investors will be piling in whilst some will feel they have missed the boat. Now is the moment to start buying, in a gradual process. Yes it might be a false dawn but buying into any stock is not without risk. Provided you stagger your investment you will benefit from the current low price and will be able to review your strategy along the way. This would be my approach and despite how it reads not advice, all IMHO. Good luck. JJ

Or maybe the car loan debacle is showing a light at the end of the tunnel. I can't believe the case for compensation. JJ

MJ has removed himself, or been removed.

Hoping that NWG gets moving on up soon but not panicking. JJ

Fender not really the place to talk about another share. I hold NWG, LLOY, BNC, MTRO. And I worked for the NWG group. If one of my grown up kids were considering Bank shares to invest in, I would suggest choosing two and dip your toe in. NWG has done very well for me, but if I were to buy today I might go for BARC and one other. BNC has been a laggard for me but the last year has been more exciting. I don't have to be a winner with my investments as my pensions provide what I need. Good luck, hope I might have helped with the decision making, hedge your bets. JJ

Fender good afternoon. Only made the one small investment in MKS. As a result of buying at the price I did the current issues with M&S are only relatively minor for me. To give an example I invested £10,000 in an AIM stock which at one point was worth about £28,000 but I got greedy, then it crashed and today is standing at £3.500. But overall I'm doing all right, enjoying some nice dividends, and the portfolio is well in profit. I'm sharing this detail to show how its all about ones perspective and attitude to risk. Good luck. And have fun. JJ

Its apparent wherever I shop for food. My nearest Waitrose quite often has the shutters down on one or more fridges, "out of order". I think people are getting confused on what it means to DYOR. Right now the MKS share is at or close to the bottom and represents a reasonable risk as a 'buy'. No stock market buys are without risk but at current prices the upside will appeal to those who already have a good spread of risk within their investment holdings. There is a good chance that this will be above £4 toward the back end of 2025, but conversely its not likely to drop a further 70p from here. A very acceptable risk IMO for those who can afford to take a medium term view. Provided you don't put all your eggs in one basket its a good time to buy MKS. Yes DYOR and accept not every investment you make is going to prove a winner. As I bought MKS @ 112p I can afford to be very relaxed. JJ

Its working perfectly as just completed my clothing order to be delivered. JJ

This could be the turning point. JJ

Not convinced the results will justify the share being at £1.50.

I would like to hear about whether a new deal is in the offing. JJ

Fender my portfolio has grown in value since April '25. Of course the value of my M&S shares have dropped but they only represented a small % of the monies all told. I didn't reply earlier because each Wednesday I go for a ride with my cycling group. All the best with your investment strategy, JJ

Fender????????????????????????????????????????????

Fender "4 months on the trot down down down" that is nonsense. In May it rose from £3.45 to £3.84. Lets be accurate in what we say here. JJ

In April '25 this hit £4.11 so less than 3 months ago so who can say that MKS won't be above £4 following upon the interim results. So JDS please justify why anyone is being 'super optimistic'. And I also stated that it was a bit of crystal ball gazing. It is your type of post that could cause people not to invest when there is a good opportunity here, and right now. The brave investor can be rewarded and of course DYOR. JJ

By then I hope to hear only positive messages from them and IMHO this could see the share moving beyond £4; yes a bit of crystal ball gazing. Hang in there its a great business, JJ

The directors could/will be benefiting at your expense. JJ

Two notable buys, are there a couple of staff in the know who have bought? Not trying to suggest there is a case of insider trading!!! JJ

Could have made a nice profit with very little risk involved. A bounce was always on the cards. JJ

No one can call the bottom. However look at both the downside and the upside. Some will want to buy when the share is below £3 but are you sure it will drop that far. Earlier this year the share was above £4 you cannot say when next it will be at that level. The share dropping today should have surprised no one, but could it be overdone? Look at GRG which is considered a well managed business by many. To avoid 'pumping' I am not going to suggest where the share price is going to be in the next few months. A health warning would be "don't try and call the bottom", its a mugs game and you could miss out on a nice profit. If you have believed M&S is a good business then it still is IMHO. Good luck with your decisions. JJ

A good long term hold with £4.50 on the near term horizon.

Is heavily weighted toward 'buy' as at 18/6/25. DYOR. JJ
