Good day Disco

No I don't do lottery....charts are of little use.

DD - et tu.

[discodave4] 17/5/2017 15:56

broadwood - All the best. bracke - Have you got the lottery numbers!DD

[broadwood] 17/5/2017 15:41

I'm out after 7? years.

My best ever performing stock.

But I get the feeling that Trump's infra structure spend is unlikely now to happen.

So when the story changes, that's my cue to jump.

Best of luck to continuing holders.

Good day kilgallp

I didn't expect it to drop that fast. Sellers running the show so far to-day.

The share price is at support but will it? It may want to test 1530. If that fails then the Daily SMA 200 at approx 1485 comes into play.

The Daily SMA 50 is just above the Daily SMA 100.

To buy or not to buy? If you buy at the current level you are thinking that the fall is over. Why would you think that? If you are a trader you might take the trade with an appropriate stop. If you are a buy and holder you may want to see a higher high.

Hi bracke, well you were right it went into the 1550's, your thoughts now? I was thinking of buying back the block of shares I sold in March.

IF Trump goes Pence takes over. Pence may continue with the infrastructure plans but drop some of the outlandish ones eg. The Wall.

[broadwood] 17/5/2017 13:09

Shares reflecting Trump's increasing difficulties today.

Impeachment looms it would seem signalling an end to infrastructure spend plans.

Nobody yet saying it will happen but market simply reflecting that it might.

[bracke] 17/5/2017 10:07

This has 1550 written all over it.........now come on AHT prove me wrong....as usual!

[bracke] 16/5/2017 17:53

Once again high volume but sellers prevent it breaking above s/r, although it does close a little higher.

[bracke] 16/5/2017 12:58

Back up for another attempt at breaking through 1650/1660.

[fenners66] 16/5/2017 12:13

Some life this morning , but not much volume, testing the trend again?

[bracke] 12/5/2017 19:06

Good day ian

As for Trump, no idea.

As for AHT.....low volume to-day most of it selling judging by the share price

I suppose it might be said to be in a declining wedge ie. lower highs with a sort of horizontal base which does get breached but is just about holding. Something has to give either price breaks up to make a higher high or the horizontal base gives way and lower prices ensue.

Hi bracke,

Thanks for your comments this week, as always.

The question is, are we entering the 'end game' with Trump, or is there more agony and revelations to come?

Fortunately AHT is a sound company with good prospects imho, so I am still happy to be a long term holder, but as I said before, not tempted to add at present.

Good weekend all!

High volume yesterday when sellers came in at the 1650/1660 s/r zone to push the share price back to the opening price. To-days volume will be interesting.

How far down do the sellers want to take it. They are intent on holding it under the Daily SMA 100. The Daily SMA 50 continues to drop towards the Daily SMA 100.

Goodbye loneliness

[fenners66] 11/5/2017 19:25

Hi volume day

[bracke] 09/5/2017 16:49

Volume has returned to normal.

An attempt to take the share price back up but not to be. Mr Macron's victory made little difference.

The Daily SMA 50 is moving down to the Daily SMA 100. Perhaps their meeting will give us a guide.

[bracke] 06/5/2017 14:10

A win for Mr Macron - All will be sweetness and light; make way for 1660.

A win for Mrs Le Pen - Doom, gloom and abandon all hope 'cause the depths await.

There appears low probability that Mrs Le Pen will win so fear not.

[bracke] 05/5/2017 18:49

Thank you ian.

[ianwwwhite] 05/5/2017 18:15

Thanks bracke, we are not worthy...

... but we are grateful!

[bracke] 05/5/2017 17:47

A good day to-day. High volume, gap filled and closed at the top of the range.

What more could you ask for.....that's rhetorical.

[ianwwwhite] 04/5/2017 20:03

bracke

lol!!

[bracke] 04/5/2017 17:48

ian

One would have to say that since the high in March sellers have been in charge. There is so much occurring globally that can disrupt the market.

I have also read of the current fashion for appearing less than fully clothed in front of the computer screen. Being a bashful type I always keep the hood well over my face to preserve my anonymity.

[ianwwwhite] 04/5/2017 17:32

Good day bracke,

Seems like a bit of a bear/bull tussle going on a present. Interesting times..

Re your comments, I understand that it is now fashionable amongst youngsters to disrobe in front of their Computers, but wearing only an anorak seems a bit weird! I think we should keep that one to ourselves! 😁
