Houston storm shot in the arm for AHT then

URI currently up 4%, was up 3.4% yesterday at close.........c'mon AHT.DD

If I look at the chart - advfn's - I would add the 15 and 50 day weighted moving averages.
On that basis it seems that the 50day is the one in control and is proving hard to crack.
Just closed above the 15 day but in my experience 1 day makes little difference.
So its all about the 50 day for me.

Thanks Bracke - all 3 moving averages converging at around 1605 - is that a rarity?
What is the prognosis?

Is it like one of those pennant moments?
It could break either way?

Is someone reading this thread?

[fenners66] 29/8/2017 15:24

I was just about to go out - so all I had time for - But ?? why the sudden drop ?

[bracke] 29/8/2017 13:35

Good day fenners

Why the ??

Markets mostly 'red' thanks to Mr Um's rocket.

AHT one of the few FTSE 100 in the 'green'.

uppompeii will be disappointed but he's probably got his hands full dealing with 'pickings' among the fallen.

Bloomberg's higher estimate of Harvey clean-up costs have reached $100bn.

It headed back out into the Gulf to pick up strength before expecting to make land again.

If I recall from years before the hurricane in Florida gave a substantial boost to Sunbelt as noted in that years accounts.

URI up 3.3% at close ,so added on the dip this morning .
Two weeks to results.
cheers

[bracke] 28/8/2017 16:16

URI UP 1.34%.

It was 2.00% earlier but resisted at previous s/r 110.

I would imagine every spare pump in the states is on route as we blog.
URI should do well with all their spare fracking pump already on station.
They can pump it into the sea, assuming they hire enough discharge hose.
Joking apart it looks horrific, and I wish them a successful and rapid recovery.
Cheers

Come on bracke, into the river, it's obvious.

[bracke] 28/8/2017 14:19

But where do they pump the water to.....water water everywhere and no where to pump. Plus the equipment will have been underwater therefore damaged.

[fenners66] 28/8/2017 13:37

But they have the pumps!

[bracke] 28/8/2017 11:00

Will not the plant hire depots be flooded as well as the rest.

[fenners66] 28/8/2017 09:04

Estimate for the clean up cost in Texas (via Bloomberg) $24bln

Plant hire % of that?

I can't remember the associated % , was it 9%?

Possibly $2.16bln

[fenners66] 26/8/2017 21:04

Sunbelt have 2 depots in Corpus Christie Texas and about 20 around Houston.
They may be useful.

------------------- 24.08.17.
Strong buy 3............3
Buy 5...................3
Hold 4..................6
Sell 0..................0
Strong sell 2...........1
.
2 out of 14 not a bad average and you call me a carpetbagger.

I have no idea just that history tells us there should be 3 - I guess at that point it falls again, but where the share price is when that happens is anyones guess

[2flatpack] 22/8/2017 13:07

fenners,
What is the third one going to be like?
Is it worth a short or will it bounce .
Cheers
