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.

mn,

" then the zenith has been reached and where from there.....?" To another one maybe, but "not" if an when they learn to.. see below.

"Still a good company in which to invest though." Not unless they adapt they aren't IMHO.

" then the zenith has been reached and where from there.....?" To another one maybe,

is that possible?

Most things are (within reason) if you want it enough.

Its a bit like reaching a crescendo - many would argue that's an oxymoron :-)

.. Oh alright then

Seems to have bottomed for now, just had a little dabble.,.

Brave man Bb! Not sure I agree. U.S. Market not open today, so no reaction to EU downgrades. A 'down day' could drag this a bit further, imo. MRW possibly a better investment as only declined due to TSCO news.

i may be wrong, but i think the s&p downgrades came on friday while wall street was trading .... if so, it seems to have shrugged shoulders

DOW currently showing @10,477.

What does that mean skinny? showing at 10,477.

That's where the DOW would be (if open) - obviously not the market per se - but above the 12,422 close - the S&P announcement was some hours before the close on Friday.

Ah, a digit typo then??? ;o) That's the second time in a coupe of days that the markets have dropped over 1000 points!!!

Harry - must be an age thing - I didn't even notice - I re-checked the hundreds and tens after your question - didn't even look at the thousands :-)

It's Martin Luther King day.....dear oh dear....market closed I think in USA....or is it....

Better off with Sainsbury or Morrisons as a sector recovery play rather then this lot I would have thought chaps.

Best way to save money when shopping at Tesco.....

Use Anthony Worral Thompson to do your shopping.

Wont help the sp, a tea leaf in the stores. :-))

Hope we a correction soon
