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 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.

eye dc he is 'bob bob bobbin along'!! good got his just desserts the greedy beeeeeeeeeb!!

sound reasoning tanker - some of my pf is similar

early feb ever year the MMs play the market you will see this over the next 10 days ignore them the market is going to rise big time over the next 6 months

TANK - You do set yourself up mate. That is a ridiculous statement with respect :O)

cc you will see stocks drop on low volume and the reason is that some big players
have put in big orders . just watch CNA big order for this stock ,i am still adding a few

and i will say this tesco back on track .buy

I hear what you are saying TANK, are you prepared to cover all my long positions for six months, I don't think so. If you are though, my bank details are ....... :O)

Lets hope they do get back on track. With such hard trading conditions currently on the high street, Competitors are setting up major price wars as well. Once you start to lose market share it is very dificult to regain it. Lets see if Tesco have the plans in place to stop this. This is the news competitors were waiting for, they will be after them now. Not going to be a recovery over night or for the sp.

sit back and watch the rise and the div

sbry ,magins bad so i have sold for tesco and cna and sbry have a poor CEO

I think many investors thought they would buy in and have big returns with a recovery in a week ?

I would not write sainsbury off.

I bought 2595 shares in Tesco quite a while back & Have now got a "Loss" on them of £2.774.70 Shall i continue to hold them hoping for a Rise in the near future?

yes 400p will come ,
dream sbry margins are killing them in my view and i have now stopped useing sbry
back to tesco for my family that is why i have sold sbry for tesco

i think tesco is a good defensive stock and of the supermarkets i'ld buy these are MRW which i think in many ways has even better potential

Pinkfloyd1 (great name btw) - it depends on your own 'comfort' zone. If you are happy to keep holding and your reasoning is sound - then do so. If however, you feel there are better opportunities elsewhere - then sell.

i agree cynic but CNA are the best buy
