D1 Capital Partners LP - short increased to whooping 1.01%!

0.07% increased again on 7th July - Something is up....

Sp hit 585p - now up +7.5% from yesterdays lows

That's pretty amazing recovery - well done Ocado! Think this is down to many long-term holders keeping faith and keep buying. Hopefully, they are repaid very well in next few years.

Payroll news is out so now back to reality - FTSE climbing down again... will have to wait till US opens but expect selling into the weekend.

I guess it'll be bit of sweet and sour with results. Main point is where the Sp will be before the results as it will determine the sentiment moving forward.

If Sp is still hoovering around 600p and then all good but if sp is near 500p before the results and it tanks then it'll take long time for the sp to recover because there's only so many times that Amazon can make a bid for the company!

Rick123 - Are you back in Ocado?

Come on, get back in...give us something to cheer about. Lol

Don't worry, I am just musing - unlike you, I will not pump up the stock and leave... Lol

Online grocery orders decline as shopping habits change amid high food inflation

'Massive shift' in food shopping habits as prices soar"

"2. The shift to online has slowed

Almost 12% (11.7%) of UK grocery spending today is online, down from a peak of 15.4% in February 2021 at the height of the pandemic, Kantar's data shows.

Mr McKevitt says this is because many older people who took up online shopping in lockdown have given it up.

"Those people have got time now to go out to shops and probably enjoy taking a trip out and going to see people."

That said, online shopping is still more popular that than it was just before Covid, when it accounted for around 8% of grocery spending.

Many younger people will "use online shopping as a default" as time goes on, says Catherine Shuttleworth, founder of retail analysts Savvy Marketing."

Think we hit the high of the day 574p-575p.

Sp needs to find support around 560p - If it closes around 560p area it should be good for next week.

Ocado Plunges on Weak Outlook for Marks & Spencer Venture

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-28/ocado-reports-loss-as-m-s-online-grocery-venture-sales-fall

"The results were a “truly dismal performance,” wrote Shore Capital analysts Clive Black and Darren Shirley. “We continue to look for the rainbow and whether or not a pot of gold is evident. We have our doubts.”"

Wondering if similar headlines will hit again after half-yearly results? What are your opinions?

Big sell at 11.33 - £222.89k @ 571.50p

571.502 39,000 Sell* 572.40 573.00 £222.89k

Looks like someone made a nice profit buying at 550p and selling at 571.50p. Dark pool trades?

Morgan Stanley said recent share price strength had been surprising - It's not surprising, it's called fake bid rumours to prop. up the share price before the half-yearly results so if the share price tanks, at least the brokers managed to give some support. Goldman Sachs are investment bankers - I guess they must know the art of market manipulation.

"Online supermarket Ocado was under the cosh after Morgan Stanley cut its price target on the shares to 390p from 430p ahead of its first-half results. MS said recent share price strength had been surprising."

588p is your break even point?! Wow - hopefully it's not a big paper loss.

Good luck

But good to know that YOU did all right. Lol

Nice to have you back Rick - at what price did you sell out?

550p support gone - 540p test next.....
