Two Fools discuss the prospects for Tesco (LSE: TSCO) -- are the retailer's shares 'dead money'?

Maynard Paton talks to Owain Bennallack and explains why he thinks investing in supermarkets can be 'dead money'. He discusses Tesco (LSE: TSCO) (OTC:TSCDY.PK), Carrefour (OTC: CRRFY.PK) and J Sainsbury (LSE: SBRY) in this short video.

Tesco's shares have fallen heavily this year, which has prompted master investor Warren Buffett to increase his stake in the UK's leading retailer. This exclusive special report -- "The FTSE 100 Share Warren Buffett Loves" -- explains the full investing logic behind the billionaire's decision.

If the current climate, a supertanker is probably not a bad idea... at least it won't be capsized by unexpected unfavourable winds. And the yield is nice. Whether it is cheap or not, that's another story.
