Good rise today on back of a late URI rally. Could this one hold?

How can you tell when Donald is telling a lie?

From DT Business 6/6/17:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Donald Trump’s vaulting scheme to rebuild America’s derelict bridges, roads, ports, and tunnels, has dwindled to almost nothing.

The level of fiscal stimulus will be too small to have any macro-economic effect. These deflated hopes have major implications for the US bond markets, the dollar, commodities, and the Trump ‘reflation trade’ on global asset markets.

The infrastructure plan was loosely billed at $1 trillion in the heady days of the campaign. This dropped to $550bn during the transition. The sketchy plans released by the White House this week suggest that US federal government may not put up any new money at all.

“There is concern that this might even be net loss, an actual disinvestment in infrastructure,̶1; said Casey Dinges from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

Quelle surprise!!
...I think most of us had started to discount this some time ago and are counting on the strength of AHTs core market. Looking forward to next weeks results and commentary!

And filled.

[bracke] 06/6/2017 10:15

And a gap down.

[mjcferguson] 06/6/2017 08:58

Looking for 20% profit increase and good hike in Divi.

[bracke] 05/6/2017 16:44

Hopes turn to results next Tuesday.

[clarky5150] 05/6/2017 15:46

But back into downward trend.

[bracke] 05/6/2017 14:50

Thur/Fri gap filled.

[bracke] 05/6/2017 12:04

Fair comment.

[clarky5150] 05/6/2017 11:29

Agree fully Bracke. I do however see it as a long term 'no brainier', very much like the precious AHT.

[bracke] 05/6/2017 11:15

Good day clarky

Just had a look at the Taylor Wimpey chart. 180 has been a previous s/r zone but it may decide to visit the Daily SMA 200 at 170.

[clarky5150] 02/6/2017 22:52

URI tailed off toward close. I don't think AHT is out of the woods just yet.

Btw, check out TW.L just gone xd on special diva payment and pull back has been overdone. Massive land bank and cash reserves. I see a 10-20% upside from current before calendar year end IMHO, DYOR etc.

Have a good if not damp weekend all.

[ianwwwhite] 02/6/2017 18:27

Nice to see AHT finishing the week on a high.

It might well be that we will be seen as a 'dollar proxy' hedge during next week's election turmoil, and continue to advance, we can but hope.

However we will need something far more sustainable to support further price increases IMHO, and maybe this will be provided at the next Quarter 4 and year end results announcement on 13th June?

Good day ian

An oxymoron indeed unless the penitent is re-reformed?


Good day clarky

I've been out most of the day visiting the aged P.

The gap holds but only just. Buyers still trying to push the share price up but it's hard going. At least it closed above 1600.

[clarky5150] 02/6/2017 13:42

Bracke, it's nearly 2 pm and the opening gap hasn't been mentioned.

[2flatpack] 02/6/2017 10:20

fenners
I see a descending trend line which I find extremely scary.
Cheers

[fenners66] 02/6/2017 10:06

Scary that you can more or less draw a straight line across the top of the recent highs....

[fenners66] 02/6/2017 10:05

Actually I should re-phrase that designed to take from the just getting by and give to the tenants, if you own the land but someone else uses it and the local services then you pay.

Pretty hard left wing.

Cost of owning property would be huge - house price collapse together with higher taxes, no foreign investment and a weak pound , high imported inflation and a massive budget deficit and a return to 1970's labour laws and strikes ......

I remember the winter of discontent....

Is winter coming?

[eaglebeagle] 02/6/2017 09:30

Pencil tax? Maybe I was a touch apoplectic at the time! Sorry this is all off thread please ignore

[eaglebeagle] 02/6/2017 09:17

That's not going to work too well for long. That would mean 1000 percent rise in council tax for me which I simply can't afford. Add that to increased income tax and I'm out of this country! How does that work for rental property then. So you rent, don't own but are responsible for. Pencil tax. Will maybe the poll tax issue look like handbags. Moron policy.

[lairddavid] 02/6/2017 08:13

Clarky! I am the opposite stuck in a long about 400 points adrift.

[fenners66] 01/6/2017 22:22

Clearly designed to take from the rich and give to the "tennants" .......
