2 x 30m trade at 0916 today. Recorded as a sell (228.6p) but reported late so possibly a buy. I know the DRIP was today so not sure of origin. What I do know is that the sp was up all day and did not close with it's usual weakness.

Totally agree. Particularly with Booker.
I’m maxed out with 2 ISAs so that is why I won’t be adding. Tesco Bank and one off costs for Covid has been a drag in the sp, not to mention the special dividend so much more positives now than negatives.

Good luck with your additional investment. I have elected to add more shares through the dividend scheme but wont be adding any more of my Capital. As Rosewall points out it will be numbers later in the month that will be interesting. Many investors are making judgements based on the sp rather than the company performance.
These algo trades are dictating the direction but if performance was so poor then why have them. I will be interested to see if they allow the sp to close above the 230 today.

Asda have reported a sales surge in the last quarter with increased sales. From memory on the last trading update in winter they were losing ground to the other big 3. Bodes well for the 18th June.

Thanks Chelwood
The newsfeed today pretty much stated the same :)

Chelwood
Good afternoon. Think it’s Q1 update on the 18th of this month. Will be interested in the numbers.

Regardless of choice of supermarket you would have to be quite bullish on the next trading update. Lots of cash that was destined for EU tills will be staying in the UK. The current good weather will be helping too. Lots of BBQs and gatherings. My local Tesco Express in Lytham has been 'bombed out' the last few weeks (staff comment) trying to restock the shelves with fresh produce and drinks.

Have to agree Barchid
Don’t know if there is a staff wage formula for pay rise s but going forward they will just be reworked. It will average out in the next 3 to 4 years with smaller pay rises.
Just my guess but no adverse market reaction. I don’t know how other competitors pay structure is like but possibly consequences for them too.
I know Asda will face massive pressure in the next few years as the brothers’s led syndicate will try to maximise returns for themselves as the business is sold off bit by bit. Let’s hope TSCO are in a position to take advantage as I can see them losing market share.

mags 300% rise :)

I have been dipping in and out of Jet2 over the last few months. Better returns than TSCO if you’re trading. Bought last year at just under 2 and sold at 8 but have been buying and selling between 12 and 15 more recently.
Not a share tip but worth a look if you like a trade.

In the past now too. Each investor has their own strategy to hopefully make money. Personal circumstances are probably the biggest influencer on those decisions. I retired early as a result of my decision making and of course ‘lady luck’ and now focused on lower risk investments that protect my capital with the potential of making gains.
Not necessarily overnight or in a short period of time.
I do occasionally gamble of course but mainly for the thrill but mindful of potentially making a loss.

Rosewall
Shock! Horror! Share price down on XD day. Also have this as an income investment. I see this as capital growth too given time. Will elect to take more shares.

@Gourmet.... you will be on the register at the time the trade was placed. Today transactions will be allocated the entitlement. I suggest you speak to your broker. Unless a nominee account and the named person is pocketing your dividend entitlement.

You have to hold and be on the share register at the close tomorrow. You can sell on Friday. Payment day is on the 2nd July.

Think it did drop below 7p a couple of years ago. More shared now in circulation too.
On the plus side , although it touched below 7 it rose to nearly 30p in partnership news.

Jimzi
It did fall below 7p a couple of years ago with much less shares in issue. However, it did bounce up to about 30p on their partnership news.

That was a UT trade. An uncrossing trade, which for simplicity is the amount of shares being returned at the end of a trading day in order to balance their books.
It is irrelevant in terms of trading but sometimes distort the closing price of a share.
Best to ignore.

All have TSCO now as a buy, even Shore that have been neutral. Upgrade from Morgan Stanley. Still cheap in my opinion below 3 but as a shareholder I would think that.
Lots of positives as restrictions are eased but the pandemic is still out there.

apologies @ Steve

LSE can only publish trades at the time the receive them. For example, a broker could have sold 1m shares to an investor this morning at the price of yesterday's close and inform the market at noon. Of course if the sp was above the day's opening price then it would be listed as a sell.
Although for transparency a 90 second rule is in place and should be enforced but in reality it rarely is. That is why the larger transactions (usually institutional investors) get reported after the closing bell.
Anyway, currently the sp is above the months high so I guess there will be more positivity on the bb.
