no other pi's?
I've always thought that this Compnay was in the right area for the times. Not sure whether the management are that dynamic -signs of life now
Solid share this
I must visit more often!
Seems like more interest today - good uptick - someone knows something.
No change
Up on my last visit - always good to see
Holding quite well - I've always had faith in this company, though not in the board. Maybe China connection will help.
High volume but only worth £7k - it doesn't take much to move these penny shares. Still holding
Worse than the rest of the market.
oh dear!
Sorry can't help. This is the only noticeboard I use - I think this company is too boring for the people on here! (likewise PRU) I chose this company because they took immediate action when the crash came - cutting costs etc.
Perhaps I am mis-reading the following from the BBC website. M&S said it had performed well in a "challenging trading environment". Like-for-like sales, which strip out the impact of any new store openings, for the final 13 weeks of 2011 were up 0.5% on a year earlier. Food sales were up 3%, while general merchandise sales fell by 1.8%. It still shows food up - general merchandise down. This has been the case for quite a while.
Just a feeling really. I bought in at the first big drop and I've been sitting on them for years. This type of company suffered in the downturn as dry cleaning/industrial cleaning could be regarded as discretionary spending and easy to reduce. I'm guided by the price rise really already in profit so I'm staying in but won't be buying more.
From visits to M&S stores, the food always gets top marks and the clothes -oh dear! The figures still show a decline in all but food sales. I hope they get it right soon.
Just checking!
I think we have to accept that the betting sector is on the 'naughty step' at the moment. There has been a lot of negative publicity in the past few weeks about problem gambling. 'Ethical' funds will avoid them. I don't think demand for this share is going to give previous posters the prices they predict in the short term. Were I not a long term holder I would not choose this moment to buy. I see some upside in the short term but I don't see this as a 'flyer' Barclays shows 600,000+ shares traded today - about £750k. I am very happy to be proved wrong and will continue to hold
Hopefully they bring some much needed expertise - oh the face of it, this is a product for today's market - endorsed all round - but the share price stays becalmed. Still holding!
I'm interested in what posters think of the share buy back policy. To me it shows confidence, although only a tiny % of the whole shares in issue, cancelling shares usually has a good effect on sentiment.
