Carrington, I have long believed in the Ocado model but it was not 'till earlier this year that I bought some around the £2.60 level but sold at a loss within days. Bought back at £2.12, and got it wrong because the share fell further, but continued to hold. I am wondering whether there is something happening with Ocado that I can't see but which explains the strength in the share price. Later this week I could be adding to my holding. JJ

Me too, showing a small profit. I'm missing why the rise? JJ

Fender, good luck and you may like to look at what is happening over at OCDO seeing as there is a link to MKS. JJ

Firstly best regards to Fender; not forgotten I owe you lunch.

Motley Fool is one to ignore IMHO.

Until Trump calms down and stops killing innocent people I don't see MKS reaching 400p.

All the best JJ

My breakeven point is 140p so showing a tiny profit. However I'm planning to keep my monies invested with MTRO as I don't have a need for the funds in the next 3-5 years. However those planning to sell at 150p would do well to consider selling at the current price as there is a good chance that the share price will drop back to around 100p and not continue up. If you sold now and the share drops you can aways buy them back, cheaply. On the other hand if the share rises to 150p then you have lost out on a small gain, but you have peace of mind. Any gain above 150p can be ignored by you as your stated objective was to sell at 150p. Just my perspective and certainly not advice, DYOR and good luck. JJ

In the next 4 weeks the Trump action could see the market down by 10/20% so the shorts are likely to be laughing. I certainly won't be surprised if OCDO gets to something like £1.60 just because of the reaction of markets worldwide. And yes the markets will bounce back in time. A moment for strong nerves or to be in cash. JJ

Nicknaim, using M&G investor relations says results 12 March which should give us ex div and payment dates. JJ

It could be £7 by ex div day and £7.50 by the time of H/Y results now that is worth thinking about. JJ

W'Knight my expectation is £10 by 2030 together with a rising div along the way; if we settle @ £7 in late 2026 that would be more than enough for me.

Good luck all investors in NWG. JJ

As a long term NWG investor its not unusual to see such drops in the share price after results. In a fortnight you could see the price above £6.50. As an OAP I'm happy to enjoy the div and share with my family. Relax says JJ

Prophet div is expected toward the end of April, at least by me. JJ

Hi Fender, agreed you won. Yes lets sort something out for a meet up and at my expense!

Yes MKS could resume its upward trend but my point is that there are other shares to consider.

All the best, JJ

Three weeks ago NWG was @ £6.30 so relax and await results and a beautiful div, at least that is what I'm doing. JJ

Some of you posting on here could be about to learn a painful lesson because you are not heeding DYOR. Earlier in 2026 you could buy MKS at £3.33 and if you were still holding you would be showing a 15% gain. But instead you are buying in the £3.80's which could still see you making a profit in due course but the share could drop back to the £3.30's in coming weeks. You appear to be thinking along the lines of MKS is the share to buy, whereas IMO you should be widening your buying options. Of course feel free to ignore what I have written but do spread the risk and don't have all your eggs in one basket.

I have done well in the last year holding bank shares, MNG, TSCO, MKS, so please find what appeals to you but please see anyone share as not without risk so spread your risk. And taking a profit is always worth doing. JJ

Lucky its a good day; please don't spoil it with talk of special divs. Steadily growing div and buybacks will ensure a growing share price. My most recent experience of special div was TSCO and it was a mess. Enjoy this brighter day down south. JJ

Franco please don't be surprised if in the run up/during/after the results profit takers cause the share price to drop; 'still believe we are headed toward £8 and beyond although my crystal ball is a bit cloudy so no time scales yet. JJ

Fender " if they bother you so much PP don't read them" sage advice and you could follow it too.

Glad your MKS investment is now going well.

All the best, JJ

A business choosing to 'short' will/may not be concerned about the 26th as there are a multitude of reasons why they adopt a particular strategy. No one is forcing them to buy back the stock that they have borrowed provided they meet the terms of the loan. You may think you know why the short positions exist but in truth no one posting on here is likely to have such sensitive information, they are simply guessing. JJ

26 is coming £1.50

Any news may be seen as being good news, by some at least. From a retail viewpoint, in my experience there are too many supermarkets competing in terms of home deliveries. I live in a village and you quite often see an Ocado van, Tesco, and Sainsburys in the same morning. This makes each of their operations more costly than they need to be. Ocado need to get to a place where they monopolise the market much as Amazon have done. I wonder whether a share price of £2 is about right at present? The Ocado model might be best suited to large conurbations and is wasting time/money by including everyone in terms of who they see as their customer. JJ
