    Looking at the historical share price it doesn't seem to have done much worth shouting about for the last two decades. The share price is about 27% up on what it was in May 1991. Annualised growth of about 1.1%.

    Clearly the dividend is what matters more here.

    3rd July 1998. Tesco had a 2 for 1 scrip issue, which means that you have 3 times the number of shares that you had before that date

    ..... by which time the price would have risen :mad:

    for me, this is the crux of it - do we think Tesco management have the capability / capacity to turn things around and improve? if so, then i think there is a good future for the SP. its already a good dividend play, so if it can appreciate slowly then its a winner for me.

    what do we think? was a time when tesco made very few mistakes, this seems to have changed, although i am glad they pulled out of the US.

    I think Tesco will rise again and will be keeping hold of my shares but I do think they need to sort out quality and price issues.

    Something noone has mentioned on this thread is ASDA which the buying power of Wal Mart behind it, indeed I have to admit I do quite a bit of shopping there.

    Sainsbury flog stuff at way over the odds.

    I was lucky to sell before the drop, around 340 would be my buy back price.

    Nearly there. ;)
