I note from today's RNS Blackrot are lending 4.75M shares 0.94%.
Up from 3.5M shares 0.69% on the 08/03/16 so it looks like we are due another attack.

The runes are not auspicious.

That's Elite Guru speak for 'things look dodgy'

SP looks to be heading for 790 and maybe 760.

Good day 2flat

True they don't always get it right. Obviously got some duff information but there is no need for glee. Hedge Fund Managers are human as well, even if they do have a few billions in the bank.

[bracke] 23/3/2016 21:15

Tut, tut. So unbecoming.

He obviously took his eye off his chestnuts, while screwing us at AHT over,

2flat

Be careful with that gloat.

[2flatpack] 23/3/2016 15:04

Come on ian.
More info needed so I can gloat appropriately.
Cheers

2fp,

One can but hope.

In the meantime it seems that one of the AHT shorters Odey (0.51%) has had a bit of bad luck with some of its other shorts......

I note credit suisse are sacking some of their investment bankers.
Lets hope they pick the right one's.
cheers

Keep an eye on oil 200MA(US). Key points coming up here (AHT) too on the technical. Looks like we are at a crunch point. Do the markets believe in the wider recovery or is this the next top. A few more trading days will provide more direction. If this is indeed the next top then Credit Suisse broker forecasts etc make more sense but I dont think we are there yet but technicals could take control of the markets again. Bull bear fight.

Ian.
Glad you found it of interest.
Cheers

No change in the Short Tracker indicator of declared shorts at 3.16% (special thanks to 2flatpack for identifying this resource which has gone a long way to aid my understanding of recent price flucuations).

AHT has continued to make steady progress, a solid weeks performance - share price has risen from 785 to 876.5 during the week.

For those with an interest in more esoterical indicators of general wellbeing, the Baltic Dry index has risen from a low of 290 in early February to 392, and the Vix Index (index of fear) has fallen from 28.14 (11/02/16) to it's current 14.44.

Interesting times, indeed!

0.10% reduction in shorts is approx 1.5 million shares. The total of shorts outstanding is 3.16% = 15.9 million shares. If these are dripped into the market it should keep the share price rising.

[ianwwwhite] 17/3/2016 17:16

Short Tracker indicates a further reduction in Odey shorts:

Fund manager % short Change Date changed/created
Blue Ridge Capital, L.L.C 1.23% ↑ 0.09% 2016-02-10
CPMG, Inc 1.42% ↑ 0.04% 2016-01-28
ODEY ASSET MANAGEMENT LLP 0.51% ↓ -0.10% 2016-03-15

Total shorts reduced to 3.16% from 3.26%

It closed above the fib and needs to hold.

The next main resistance is 900.

[1staxs] 16/3/2016 12:03

Budget is a supporting actor until the main star, (FED) puts in its performance. I have dropped my position here by 3/5ths today and will look to buy back in today, maybe tomorrow. down side for the day is more than the upside. put part of the sale in to aal but sat 60% cash for the next few hours. Rather out than in for a few hours

[bracke] 16/3/2016 10:58

A gap up this morning and as I type the share price is hard up against the fib. It needs a 'slug' of buys/short closures to push it through.

[broadwood] 16/3/2016 10:55

And they must be deluded.

[ianwwwhite] 16/3/2016 10:51

Quelle surprise!

Short Tracker is now showing a further reduction:

ODEY ASSET MANAGEMENT LLP 0.61% ↓ -0.15% 2016-03-14

Total Shorts is now: 3.26% down from 3.41%
