Beleaguered shareholders in J Sainsbury have had little to smile about recently: sales growth has stalled, the search for a new chief executive has been going on for what seems an age, and the long-promised turnaround is yet to arrive.
Sainsbury flagged its so-called progressive dividend policy earlier this year, when Roger Matthews, the group's finance director, said: "Our aim is to deliver double-digit profit growth.
"Sainsbury's earnings visibility [or the prospects for future profits growth] is low and the dividend might not be sustainable long-term," warns Matthias Reschke, a retail analyst at JP Morgan.

 Writing by Tim Harford
But Tim Harford, who works at the World Bank and writes a regular newspaper column, never seems to take off his boots at all.
Imagine a town where a Tesco supermarket and a Sainsbury's supermarket compete for the business of a young, rich, careless generation, with few grannies around to keep them on their toes.
Sainsbury's loses a handful of customers that week; Tesco gains a handful but has lower margins.

Far from being the perfect diplomat himself, he was too apt to set up his discussions where it was transparently arranged that the right people were present to carry the conviction in discussion which he lacked.
