No. It’s in terminal decline. It was revealed, today, that Aldi is now catching up with Waitrose. This is not a surprise. Aldi has moved upmarket but at the same time retaining its ‘discount’ format – very clever.

As for Tesco, a lost cause: Suffering from a serious identity crisis, only a few days ago Tesco added ‘property developer’ to its ever expanding portfolio. Nobody knows what this company stands for or, indeed, what it IS! Supermarket? Restaurant (Giraffe!)?, coffee shop chain (Harris & Hoole)?, tech retailer (Huddle), insurance company?, bank? and so the list goes on… Clarke clearly didn’t get it: the old-style Leahy conglomerate is not the future, it’s history. Retail analysts pressing for a price war, too, don’t seem to get the message. Slashing prices and reducing profit margins is not the answer; it will only provide a short-term blip in the landscape. Radical action is needed: Break it up! And Clarke clearly was not up to the job. He was panicking, pursuing a ‘strategy’ which is well past its USE-BY (as opposed to SELL-BY) date. To top it all, Cantor recently upgraded Tesco from SELL to BUY, arguing it is now undervalued. Tesco is not undervalued. If anything, it’s overvalued. Ignore it at your peril, but a stock is cheap for a reason. And it could become cheaper still… only to turn out to be very expensive, indeed!

Nice video.Would it be possible for you to post some videos on how different sector like banking, insurance, oil etc. works and what an investor should look for in these companies?

Also a video on what companies spin off?

Thanks
