@Pernix. Indeed. But someone signed off on it tbf. I get that it will have been recorded long before all this nonsense kicked off, but still.

As you say, it'll blow over, and with the way of the world today this will be fish & chip wrapping when the "I'm offended" brigade have found something else to have a bit of a whine about.

Talk about being fickle.

@Amtech. You're not wrong.

@Pernix. Agree with most of what you said with the exception of your M&S bit.

They've peaced a lot of people off over their Christmas ad and if half of those are serious about boycotting them, then their sales are gonna plummet.

Not that that effects us on that front though IMO, as all they'll do is pick up that food they were gonna buy from them elsewhere, Morrisons, Tesco etc.

Things are slowly taking shape for a rosey future.

I've got another planned buy going through today (only£30 due to limited funds) but I'll be doing the same every month for a while her to build up a decent stake in here.

Yes, I'm slowly adding more to my holding now, to be fair.

I'd planned to stop at roughly a 30,000 share holding but I've got a regular investment plan set up. I'm not sure when I'll stop but doubtlessly I'll know when I feel that I've got enough..

The drop in price isn't really bothering me too much at the moment tbf, as it'll help me get a handful of extra ones too as I'm happy to sit on them until I collect a decent return on my investment.

@InvesterInvester. And the same to you and your family too mate. (And everyone else).

A peaceful happy Christmas to you all when it comes.

However you choose to celebrate it.

That M&S have got themselves into with their ill thought out TV advert.

The last thing any company needs is bad publicity heading towards a major peak trading period with huge numbers threatening boycotts. Not good.

@Investerinvester. Absolutely mate. Very odd the way they've gone about this.

This is the problem when bosses get their companies involved in political/woke BS. It causes all kinds of bad press.

They should keep out of such tomfoolery and concentrate on keeping their customer base as happy as reasonably possible by adopting a neutral stance on such matters.

@Pang.

It is. But if you're invested here, does it not bother you that the feedback from M&S's monumental screw up is going to have negative ramifications to it's bottom line (and profits), which will directly impact your return from dividend payments when customers ditch the brand for other retailers at a peak trading time?

It's a bit strange if not. Unless you've opened a large short position.

It should have been scrutinised and binned off right from the start. They've effed up right from the start.

I've stumbled across the news that they've recently got a leasing agreement for one of their mines. Good news for it's share price too. It's gone up a couple of pence.

A sign of things to come for us here once the wagon starts to roll, eh?

I'm not invested here, (but I am in SAV). But well played.

*There's No reason to believe that we won't have a decent payday coming our way.

I really should proofread before posting.

@ Futureum, fingers crossed for a decent wedge for all of us mate. There's no reason not to think we will have that coming, its just a case of waiting for it. I'm quite fortunate at the monent,as while I'm not exactly minted, I've got no real need to raise funds for myself at the moment, so I'm happy to sit back and wait.

@Mick. You'll be in for a tidy wedge when your boat comes in then. You've taken a bigger risk on this puppy than I have, so you'll deserve your rewards.

I'd originally planned to stop at a holding of 25,000 shares, but as I've only got 2 holdings, here and a small holding in Premier Foods with just over 4000 shares I thought that I'd keep going. I've got both these holdings in an ISA account, so no tax to think about when I come to collect.

I'm not sure where I'll stop with this one. Maybe 50 - 60 thousand shares, but who knows. Maybe I'll keep going beyond that.

@ Futurum. I've got 30,000 shares mate, not £30,000.

I'm told that I'm quite pig headed sometimes, but sadly I'm not quite that brave. I wish I was sometimes, but hey ho.

That said, my trade has now gone through, and I've got just a smidgen of just over 33,400 shares in Sav now, and I'll be adding a small amount extra each month to it as time goes by.

I'm roughly 6 years from retirement, so I'm hoping for a decent return from my investment here by that time.

I've got a trade order going in today to add to my 30k holding, and adding more on a regular basis too.

@ Osaka, and thanks for the explanation. It's much appreciated. I was wondering about that too but Seaton beat me to putting it out there. Cheers mate.

@Seaton. There are no daft questions. I wasn't sure about this either, but it's always a good idea to put questions out there that we don't understand or are unsure of, as some holders may well be more knowledgeable in such matters and are happy to oblige with an explanation. It's always good to ask for help if it's needed.

TC, I'm sure you're right.

I've got a 30,000 share holding in here, small change compared to what other holders may well have, but perhaps adding a few more won't do me any harm will it?
