You been dwinkin' again, ma wee Bourneville?

Sunday Times
Marks & Spencer is expected to reveal that sales of general merchandise, excluding food, have tumbled by about 6%-8% during Q3

Observer
Marks & Spencer is this week expected to report its worst Christmas sales figures since Sir Stuart Rose took the helm

Sunday Mail
M&S is set to pay dearly for one-day sales

and i am short, so no more than anticipated .... M&S lost its way some time back

;-)

with an unexpected jump in MKS sp this morning have increased short ...... now have sufficient to make it feasible/worthwhile to trade some and hold balance if i so choose

Also added 230.75

JeffCynicThe cartoon boyusual wrong call!

it will be self-apparent in a couple of days as to whom has made the wrong call ..... tabby - i recollect just before christmas how you were telling us all how wonderfully M&S were doing ..... that has proved to be hopelessly wrong ...... whether or not the market thinks the worst is over or even that M&S could be taken out by a predator remains to be sen.

1,000+ jobs to go also.

Indeedy skinny, but that may be regarded as a plus - for now.

Choccie maybe - but that on the back of mega one day sales and figures out this week - I'm happy with my entry point :-)

I just like playing devil's wotsit ;)

The market already knows the sales were a misfire, so this is either a trap ahead of the figures - or they're striking out for 250+.

Yes there goes 4600 and I find myself short! ho hum!

Chocospot on!cynicyou have misquoted me on more than one occasion which I have graciously excepted your mistakesI did say that their Xmas stock had sold very well. better to sell out at 20% discount..which in fact was hiked up in the first place.. than 50% or more after XmasI know where the staffing is being trimmed and it will help the splisten to chocoshe is very rarely wrongas opposed to some on here..

Next and Debenhams have both moved up today despite bad news. Perhaps a case of "short on the rumour, buy on the fact". :-)

Just an observation....I don't hold (long or short).

In my opinion....

Strawbs.

ROFLMAO

depends whether the annoucement will be sufficient sweetener for the bitterness ahead ...... one can never tell

overall, i really do not remotely believe we have seen the bottom of the market, so that would include MKS sp

CynicI completely agree with youMarks will imho have a reasonably good January and although our company shares are locked in I will be trading our other shares later this monthftse to hit 3600-3700 by May is my guessthere you go cynic that surprised you!
