Thank you.

It's the mayonnaise with the chips I'm going for.

If you ask for it at the chippies they look at you in disgust and revulsion.

Bracke,

Belgium seems a long way to go for a bag of chips, so hope the F1 race makes it entertaining and worthwhile.

Have a great time!

Biko,

Congratulations on realising your AHT profit.

It could be said that Deutsche's latest sell recommendation is actually an upgrade. Previously, since they initiated coverage in March they have repeatedly issued 'sell' recommendations with target of 660p, as the share price steadily rose, their latest sell recommendation now targets 710p!....

Not a recommendation I personally attach much credence to...

Good afternoon Disco

Thank you.

I certainly did not take any offence with your posts.

I never take any offence with posts but I do filter the occasional poster on the FTSE thread

Have a great time Bracke (no offence intended with previous posts!).DD

This Elite Guru will not be around to comment on Mrs Yellens utterances.

The draw of the Belgian Grand Prix beckons so it's off to the Continent for for a few days.

Many thanks Bracke!Will that do?, Aunty Janet will entice him back on Friday, failing that some critique on the following TA may do the trick.....I hope!."Near term movement to an initial 1328"hTTp://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/columns/trendstargets/25793/ashtead-group-plc-renting-new-highs-25793.htmlDD

DD4,

I fear we are going to have to grovel a lot more before we get our chief guru back on side!

A case of speak in haste, repent in leisure!

Neve mind, AHT is heading in the right direction!

Cheers,

IWW

Thanks Bracke.

[ianwwwhite] 23/8/2016 18:24

Thanks bracke!

[bracke] 23/8/2016 17:09

SP bumping its head again. Perhaps Friday will finalize the situation.

[ianwwwhite] 23/8/2016 14:41

DD4 Oh dear, I fear you're not helping!

In the meantime AHT +28p @ 1243p currently is a bit unexpected... where's that nice man with a chart when you need one?

[discodave4] 23/8/2016 09:01

Charts are for sailors and DJ's!..........:)

[bracke] 22/8/2016 18:33

LOL!! You'r soooooo lucky.

[ianwwwhite] 22/8/2016 18:33

bracke

....look above the parapet???? are you mad? That's how people end up getting shot!!

However I agree that that the occasional chart may be of use ... who was it who said today's chart, tomorrow's fish and chip wrapper?

(Only joking, I blame the second glass of a convivial red, and you know we value your input!)

[uppompeii] 22/8/2016 17:33

That's why I have my Elite Guru...

[bracke] 22/8/2016 15:45

Good afternoon uppompeii

Yes I have no doubt you are of the 'Fatalistic School of Investing'.

OK all the time the market is trending in the desired direction but there is a need to occasionally look above the parapet.

I would suggest that the use of the occasional chart may be of use but perish the thought!

[uppompeii] 22/8/2016 14:02

Works for me bracke!

[ianwwwhite] 22/8/2016 12:49

bracke

lol!!

[bracke] 21/8/2016 12:16

Ah yes the 'do nothing,put fingers in ears and hum' strategy. Closing eyes provides added insulation.

[ianwwwhite] 20/8/2016 21:40

bracke

I understand your sentiments, but for me 'do nothing, avoid criticism' is still my favoured strategy which appears to have been adopted by the FED!

The more they prevaricate, the more opportunities they create!

DYOR!

IWW

[bracke] 20/8/2016 12:46

Thanks Ian

There was no US interest rate increase but the market is 'edgy' especially as not only are different FED Members saying different things but some of them are contradicting themselves!

I do ponder if it would be better for the FED to increase the rate to get it out of the way and eliminate the uncertainty which the market strongly dislikes.

[fenners66] 20/8/2016 00:01

Thanks for the URI update Bracke

[ianwwwhite] 19/8/2016 19:01

bracke

Thanks as always for your views .... I think that a lot of us are listening and benefiting, even if we don't always say so.

On behalf of all the lurkers, keep up the good work!

Cheers,

IWW
