Tesco is one of the worlds leading international retailers. Since the company first the trading name of Tesco, in the mid 1920s, the group has expanded into different formats, different markets and different sectors. The UKs leading retailer Tesco was floated on the stock exchange in 1947 and in 1995 took over rival Sainsburys position as the UK number one. The principal activity of the group is food retailing, with over 2,000 stores worldwide. Tesco has a long term strategy for growth, based on four key parts: growth in the Core UK business, to expand by growing internationally, to be as strong in non-food as in food and to follow customers into new retailing services. The company launched a home shopping service in 2000, allowing customers to order their shopping online. Tesco is now expanding its convenience stores and overseas into areas such as Taiwan, Malaysia, Poland, the US and Ireland.

I've been caught with my Jim Jams on TANK :O) has to be a buy at this price in @ 330.9 on the spreads March contract.

Lets hope WB gets his cheque book out this afternoon!

Sainsbury's "best ever Christmas" @ 2.1% like for like, TSCO 1.3% UK like for like. SP reaction makes little sense imho, especially given international growth was good, stunning even in USA where overseas forays usually end in tears e.g. M&S in 1990's

Tempting recovery play all, but has it "much" further to fall is my concern?

Diving knife syndrome...good company but 55p down with perhaps a bit more to come off.....

Low 280,s in 2008 worst case scenario.

Seems to be abit overdone IMO -

Followed you lot in.....by march should have recovered well....55p does seem overdone...might drop further but will rebound...

no way lol lol - this is way over done - i would only worry if i saw ii selling lol

wont stay this cheap too long - the bogof offer will be ending pretty soon imo!! lol

then back to reslistic sp as it should - and the good news we have just under 6 1/2 hours bogof time today - watch the lunchtime peeps trying to get back in and bargain hunters - and this afternoon as people realise tsco is going no further south the rush to get on board!! lol

Sold my KAH for good profit seeing as it's going to be sold for 243.55p and bought somemore of these.

good stuff baler - dont forget your club card points lol!!!

look at the volume - it is well known in the city when stops on a blue chip are taken out like this normally at least anywhere between 30 to around 52% are re-bought within a week or less :-))

the other thing is that many are buying to avg down here / others will buy and hold just for the divis over the years et cetera - its a no brainer :-))))

imo!

I like your no brainers gibby, keep um cumming.,.

I think he's brains from thunderbirds !.....
