Special dividend is Looking like it will be paid on or around the 26th of February 2020 subject to shareholder approval at the general meeting on February 11

Time to sell a few me thinks..
Well this gained 2p and a 9p dividend since the saye came out .
Mark’s n Spencer’s is up nearly 50% from its 95 low a benefit of Debenhams closing no doubt as same kinda people that shop there.
My little bit of diversification in the market is massively paying off compared to this sleeping giant. But I guess it’s safe

Well where is this going when the USA opens up .. the Nasdaq / S&P futures are looking up.
470-480 close ”just a wild guess mind”
442 is break even for me

142 nice I’ll take that .. up she goes hopefully.

Wow almost doubled in a month nearly , I didn’t expect it to jump like this again today , crazy days are back . And to think I called it a Dog of a share in September.
Glad I held on sucks I never added a little but you can’t win them all

Well this is like the moves of old , one more day like this we will be back in the black on my only share that’s down at the moment.
Is this going to be back like the crazy moves up and down earlier in the year or is this the start of momentum upwards for a longer period..

Now do the right thing and hand your bonus back,
Also nothing like shooting yourself in the foot..just when it looked like a steady rise to 230 area oh well back to the drawing board
Looks like we’re going 24 hours from the 14th to Help spread the shoppers out over chrimbo

The trend since March lows is a slow steady climb back to £4 + by years end.
Any bad news one would hope is priced in to a degree, if nothing bad happens well hello to £5 “ fingers crossed of course”
Also with lockdown still on you’d have to think gambling from home will only keep rising as something to do .

After a few years away and what do you know there still buying back their shares!
117.5 was my entry point. I admit I’m not looking for fireworks from this share just somewhere to park £800 for a short while . But if the market rolls up this should roll up too

Between mr Ashley and the owner they hold 93% of the shares in issue !
Well these need to get to £4 odd for the wife to break even £5 would be nice but I don’t think Ashley would offer £3 at the moment the cheeky git

Also can anyone tell me how many shares was in issue 10 years ago as I’m sure it wasn’t 70 billion as it is today , so for this to get to £4 again is not going to happen

Bought £600 at 43 £600 at 30 and £300 at 24 although had these years ago £5k at £4.20 but bit the bullet thank god at £3,20 for £800 loss but at that time the joke was you could borrow £20k from Lloyds and buy the shares and you’d earn more in dividends than you’d pay interest I nearly did just that but again thankfully got refused the loan !

As FR goes they timed it extremely well , just before this plummeted due to other vaccines, but on the other hand if it had been at £1 they would have needed to issued more shares and if it was at 10 p well “ strewth” !
I’m from southampton and this wasn’t on my radar till 70p thinking wow 5-70p well I’ve missed the boat here then like Bitcoin stunned to watch it rocket to 250 area , thinking don’t touch this with a barge pole at that price ,
Could be worth a small punt at this price , but not for the faint hearted as they say

Well hindsight is worth a fortune as they say, yes if you feel this can get to £5 no if you can’t afford to lose . Good to see this getting back to near break even for me but I think I’m fully invested here for now , they still have 4.2 billion in debt to clear don’t forget

Well this goes on everyday ; although now it’s a one way in and out at are store it’s less easy , but even if they get caught they’ll be back sadly like the other week they caught a regular and if it’s below £200! The police won’t be called ( so just take a calculator next time x)
In the past I’ve tried to intervene in a push out at another store there was no security guard around he knew I was on to him so stood at the exit near customer services waiting for a manager to come over all but they was all on breaks together so gave up and watched him just push it out , but twittered the time he left the store , no use as it turns out the cameras didn’t work either ( I found this out as a friend works at this store but the mind boggles! )
If I was a member of staff working at the time , I wouldn’t attempt to stop them as you don’t know what they carry and if you get injured it’s your own fault and potentially you could lose your job sad but true.
On a positive note good to see these over 230 finally 1st time since I sold a chunk in spring

Latest update was indeed a good one which should act as a floor for these shares and the cash in the bank hasn’t shrunk so no cash calls you’d hope to expand etc anytime soon . Should bode well once this god damn covid clears off!
Time to get back in soon

Although we’re not aware of a saye consolidation I’m sure they will be consolidated as well as otherwise it’s a 100% win or more . Tesco’s aren’t that daft
I rung them up about the discount And it is up to 20% at Tesco’s Discretion
Are the CFCs automated or human pickers ?.
Because if it’s automated then the Margin is nearly 10% like Ocado once up and running if not then the margins will probably be 2% unlike in store of 4%
So the more they expand online the more costs they have , fuel,vans,pay, pension ,holidays,insurance and you can’t say these cheap delivery saver plans cover these costs .
Nevertheless I’ve decided I’ve decided to do £250 over five years in case I am stuck at this godforsaken place for that long !

Lower highs and lower lows gradually nudging towards the £2 mark the trend is your friend as they say and if you look at the 1year chart it’s dire,
Now will it fall below £1:98 the saye by the cut off date of 4th November?
Also a Question to my esteemed colleagues here now I always thought they took a 20% discount from a 5 day share price period to get to the option price; which if it was going back to say September It would and quite frankly should’ve been between 1:80 to £1:90 how the B Jasus they got to £1:98 is beyond me .
Or is it set by HMRC?

Yes well that’s another white elephant that needs off loading ASAP !, will only be loss making in this environment. Another great idea by sir terry was it?

I apologise I thought the interim dividend was already at 3.21 in my head but that was for another share , still at the rate there going 4p Interim dividend for next year seems a good guess and perhaps a final dividend of 11.5p at year end in February.
. Now looking through the report whilst they are looking to wipe out the pension deficit by February next year it could well be -£3 billion anyways so they will still be short !
The way I look into it the share consolidation will be by 24% so 100 shares become 75 shares . Jmho
