I was right about the Tesco share price! Here’s what I’m doing now

ASNF 4 days ago

Back in April, I said I was so confident about the outlook for the Tesco (LSE: TSCO) share price, I’d be happy to invest £5k in the enterprise.

As it turns out, I was right on the money. Since that article was published, shares in the retailer have added nearly 20%, excluding dividends. Over the past 12 months, the stock’s returned 18%, including dividends. 

And after this performance, I still think the stock has room to run higher as the group enters its next growth stage. 

Tesco share price outlook 

Since 2014, Tesco’s been in recovery mode. The group’s been trying to move on from its accounting scandal, shrink a bloated business, and fight off the discounters, Aldi and Lidl.

It was making significant headway on all of these points until the pandemic struck. The resulting chaos meant that the company had to drop everything and focus on … Read more

ASNF 5 days ago

Just like the best-selling books on Amazon are not necessarily the best-written books, the most successful digital marketers are not necessarily the best at what they do. 

What they’re the best at is marketing themselves.

They understand that the thing they’re selling to potential clients, media publications, other marketers, and businesses looking for collaborators is their own personal brand. And they’re up for the challenge of marketing the hell out of it!

Can the Wise share price end 2021 on a high?

ASNF 5 days ago

The Wise (LSE: WISE) share price defied gravity between the company’s direct listing in July of this year and mid-September.

Unfortunately, this came to an end at the beginning of October. Shares in the money transfer business have fallen around 10% since the beginning of the month. 

The factors that seem to have spooked investors appear to be temporary. That’s why I think the stock could end the year on a high note as it prepares for further growth in 2022. 

Wise share price under pressure 

As far as I can see, there are two reasons why the stock has performed so badly recently. First off, at the beginning of the month, the company’s co-founder was fined for deliberately not filing his tax return with HMRC.

Not only was this a PR nightmare, but it also led to speculation that the FCA would move to sanction the company … Read more

ASNF 6 days ago

You’ve identified a new segment for growth. It meets all of your opportunity and accessibility criteria. You’re ready to start selling, right? Identify a few potential customers, contact, connect, qualify, and rock on. To that we say, “Whoa, Nelly, market validation comes first.” Here’s why this research step is growth-critical, product adoption, and how to do it.

Simply defined, market validation helps determine whether the market and/or customer segment you’ve decided to target will be receptive to your solution. It’s not about convincing someone to buy and teeing up the transaction–that is a closed sale. It’s about verifying that your solution addresses the needs and wants of the market and that people in the target market are willing and ready to buy your solution.

Market validation and selling share a common effort: conversations. However, the focus of the conversation and who facilitates it within your organization are generally quite different. … Read more
