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 am going to sell my large holding in tesco .
and boycott the shops along with some other people .
we are fade up of them employing migrants and not locals
as an investor i do not like this as migrants only spend there spare cash
in the pound shops and yes i have done my looking go on a saturday and 6 out of 10 will not speak english . no wonder the company is going bad they are shooting them selves in the foot we need to employ people who spend there wages in this country not send there money out of the UK

Hold, imo. No point in taking a loss now (unless you want a CGT loss this tax year). Will come good if you wait long enough. Divi still secure and this drop is only due to a small part of TSCO underperforming. Solid company and well run.

dream i decided to let these young people do the fighting which they will
if they want a job then get together and fight instead of seating on there backsides .
i am to old to fight for these people who wil not speak out and fight ,
going just look after myself

off to tesco now . just bought my car insurance from tesco very good and did not go for the cheap offer

:-))

Thanks Lads for your advice. Will keep hold of them for now then (But its very worrying) But i also think Tesco will never go "Bust" LOL
Just another quick 1 iv Got a Few shares with Bellway (BWY) & they are Showing a Profit of £30 1st time profit in 6 months Do u reckon they aree good to hold?
Thanks.
Dave.

I just think Tesco got very complacent and lost touch with the customers. They needed to get out on the shop floors and speak to customers more.
They are at a very important crossroads left takes them to recovery and right, well.
I do not think management are strong as Tesco would not have reached this scenario.
Look forward to the next 6 months to see if Tesco have got it right.

The 10p petrol voucher will have an effect...for a £60 trip.....plus a £5 voucher I think for a £40 shopping trip.....I shall try to take up this brilliant offer myself !.

TANKS - what do CNA have to do with supermarkets? ..... confess it is not a company i have ever even looked at let alone followed

cynic good divs over 15p on a sp of 295 is very good but the sp will move up to 350p
this year a certand on to 400p by xmas

tesco last night packed

just been to tesco for my old mate ,got is £5 of next shop he gave me the petrol coupon that was nice of him but i already had one but did not want to upset is good nature i will give it some one i dont use that much

The coupons are directly related to the original purchaser's clubcard, so unless they are using a borrowed clubcard they won't be accepted.

thanks harry i have just done another shop of 68pounds got my 5 off next shop so that is two i will go with my son inlaw tomorrow so will fill him up

harry with bad weather forecast thought i would take advantage of the gifts

Yep. 10p off a litre of petrol can't be bad, but have got to admit that supermarket fuel isn't the best. I do know that Ford & Peugeot have have had some problems recently with their diesel cars and the additives used by the refineries in supermarket fuel. You would have thought that they would be the same as the oil major's fuel (BP, Esso etc), but apparently not.

Harrycat,
Additives used can only be approved ones to meet UK spec requirements so there is no danger to buy inferior fuel. Also a lot of storage is co-mingled so Esso fuel may well come from same tank as other suppliers

there is little doubt fuel sold by supermarkets is of lower quality to that sold by the majors the same applies to heating oil, whether ultimately this effects the performance of the engine is up to "which" magazine to tell us.

robinhood, you may well be correct, but local garages have sourced some recent problems with diesel fuel to the supermarket brands. Their advice is to buy from the majors, which does seem to cure the problem. Maybe just a crappy batch??? But also not sure if your info is correct, as different majors have different additives, hence their different marketing. Formula Shell was definitely a different mix quite a few years ago and was withdrawn due to problems.
