Thumbs up Tesco goes into the software business

Tesco is about to start selling its own branded software ..... from an OFFICE Suite to DV Burners and Anti-Virus Programs.

All at £20!!

I bought shares in Tesco at £2:99 not long ago ..... they are now around £3:65 - nowhere better to sink your money!!

Like last year I gave a HOT Xmas stock tip and those who followed my lead cleaned up a big fat profit ... TESCO is my HOT tip for this Xmas!

I disagree slightly. ok they are the darling of the private investor however the markets expect constant over performance against forecast...only takes a product recall or an investigation into price fixing overseas and the house of cards fall.

within the sector, sainsbury is on the rise. every % gain of market share they can irode from tesco will be warmly received.

Seem to recall your last HOT tip was Betamax video tapes.

Please, just hurry up and stop breathing Lewis.

Report on Ch4 news tonight about them using kids in the factories that supply a lot of their cheap clothes range. Glad they think of human rights over a fast buck.

When it comes to shares it usually means they have already won - ie: the smart people have made their money and the only way is down for the share price.

I worked for them years ago.
All very nice but as Andy found out, when it comes to the crunch they don't give a ****. They just tossed asside the 70 or so people that worked for me and just tried to keep the management team.
The 85p per share was nice though...

The supermarkets deserve criticism for their unfair amd mean attitude towards their suppliers. Their profiteering is beyond the pale.

I seriously doubt Microsoft are worried. Re-selling software someone else has written, there's a new idea ...

Yes and lets face it, its not just about price when it comes to buying software, if it was we would all be running linux and using star office but were not! As for burning, AV and software of that ilk its all around that price mark anyway.
