Tesco'’s plan to rival Ocado in autonomous technology will face further delays after its plan to roll out robotic warehouses has been thrown into chaos after its main supplier developing the technology went bust.

The supermarket struck a deal with Canadian tech group Attabotics earlier this year to create new robotic warehouse systems as part of a broader push by the UK chain to become a powerhouse in autonomous technology.

However, Attabotics has been forced to file for bankruptcy protection and is now in the midst of a complex court process to be sold to a US buyer, leaving Tesco’s ambitions in limbo.

It means further delays for the UK chain as it races to take on robotic warehouse giant Ocado in the online grocery market.

From the last Ocado update to the market, it shows that Ocado is on track to deliver on its plan. Therefore, Ocado now looks an attractive investment and over the next few months will attract buyers or even bidders. Therefore, it follows that the share price will likely rise as new investors get onboard irrespective of shorts trying to close. So now there will be four drivers for share price increases:

* new investors

* shorts trying to close their massive exposure

* speculators buying shares to exploit the coming of the short squeeze

* rumours of potential bidders

Something akin to perpetual motion !

Why are you copying a post from the ADVFN Ocado board that mocks you ? When posting someone else's post you should acknowledge who wrote the piece, in this case the poster whites123.

Just to be clear, VJ is a poster that has been banned on a number of occassions based on his abusive posts but keeps reappearing under a new name, the latest being VJ. I strongly suggest we just ignore him, thus denying him the oxygen he craves and report his abusive posts.

@Tim1984 Thank you for posting the link. Well worth readying. My general principle is to buy and hold for years. I have been building a stake in Ocado over the last year and now have 54,000 shares. Unless there is a compelling reason to sell I will hold for at least 5 to 10 years. I am definitely not a day trader and have zero interest in charts or "gaps to be filled". What attracts me to Ocado is its enormous potential.

I agree, Qantas has been very calm and polite when replying to obnoxious and unpleasant comments directed at him. I for one have consistently reported all those unpleasant and juvenile posts directed towards Qantas and helped to get the person posting them banned even though they just reappear under another alias.

Does anyone know when the Supreme Court will deliver its judgement on car finance mis-selling case ? Is anyone selling up before the judgement ?

I suspect a lot of PIs have a punt on Ocado hoping they sign up a new customer or the likes of Amazon will take them over. It's the same mentality as those playing the weekly lotto. It's a risky share but the rewards have the potential to be huge unlike most other shares. This is why I invest in Ocado (54,000 shares so far). Over the years I have owned and sold share in over 70 companies with a success rate of 65%. I have experienced huge losses on Ferranti, Marconi and C&W but thankfully these investing disasters have been more than offset by extraordinary gains on the likes of Invensys, Shire and RR. This was only possible by taking big risks. So my message to the likes of 'Valueplay' and his ilk is that your message of doom and gloom is wasted on most of the PIs reading this share chat as we know the risks and and are here to play the lotto.
