Daily mail online has an article comparing the costs of various brokers - annual fees , trading etc.

There is a very useful tool showing all associated costs of the various providers through to exit charges - scroll down to compare.

Lol!!

All Time Closing High 1948 and strong volume.

That poor goose is working overtime.

[ianwwwhite] 26/10/2017 17:24

Nice finish, two million plus shares traded, closed +22p at 1948p. Judging by the timing, we followed the US market up. Well done AHT!

Happy days! I think enjoy it while we can must be our watchword.

I seem to remember that the fable of the golden goose ends badly, with Xmas coming up, let's hope AHT doesn't end up roasted!

[bracke] 26/10/2017 11:43

You must be getting sick of all those eggs!

Good morning bracke

Seems to be a bit of a tussle going on at present, but I expect today's outcome will be dictated by what happens to the DOW.

Nevertheless, AHT, the golden goose that keeps on laying has done us proud in recent months! :-)

Good day ian

The share price hasn't dropped all the way back to 1920.......yet. Support is currently at 1926. Double the daily average volume yesterday.

Many thanks for sharing your views.

I note URI has dropped back today, it seems to be on a roller coaster ride at the moment. It would not surprise me to see AHT retrace as you say, particularly as the pound has strengthened.

1926p? Can't grumble!

[bracke] 25/10/2017 18:10

All time intraday high 1961 and closing high 1926.

DOW has taken a tumble today. Unless it pulls back up later AHT may find 1920 does not support.

Don't discount a retrace to 1920 just yet.

2000 definitely not in jest. I said by Christmas but at the current rate of increase it could easily be well before. It's only 40 points short as I type.

[ianwwwhite] 25/10/2017 14:04

Good afternoon bracke,

Don't give up on the TA. It takes time and some effort.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've added it to my bucket list!

In the meantime, AHT seems to be on viagra today, do you have an outlook for a new resistance level? At 1950ish, it seems to have left 1920 behind, and still seems to be in an ascending channel. I notice you mentioned 2000p - in jest?

Good day ian

===================================================================================

Don't give up on the TA. It takes time and some effort.

Lately there appears to be a pattern with the share price The DOW rises but AHT does not rise with it but waits until the next day.

Today there appears to be a concerted effort to break above 1920. I expect to see it retrace to test 1920.

2000 by Christmas. For long term holders the world is not their oyster AHT is their lobster thermidor and Chablis.

And Hurricanes to clean up after as well.

Morning,Caterpillar Q3 beat forecasts with positive outlook - bodes well for AHT:hTTps://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/24/caterpillar-shares-soar-more-than-7-percent-on-strong-earnings-beat.html"The construction industry in North America is turning around after years of slow demand, fueled by a steady housing recovery, an improving labor market and higher spending by oil and gas companies.Sales in North America, Caterpillar's biggest market, jumped 27 percent in the third quarter ended Sept 30. Construction revenue from the region rose 31 percent to $2.17 billion and revenue from resources, including mining, rose 28 percent to $581 million."DD

Morning all.
Opened small short.

Healthy US earnings season

The outlook for the world economy is looking rosier thanks to strong earnings statements from some of the biggest US industrial companies such as Caterpillar, United Technologies and General Motors. Companies cited growing China demand as an important factor but reports from North American and European markets were generally positive, too. (FT)

Most encouraging!

[ianwwwhite] 24/10/2017 18:26

Hi bracke

Looks like AHT has made a rapid recovery from exhaustion, and is now looking more perky, although I note that it has still to breach the 1920 resistance level that you mentioned.

Ok you win, a common gap it was, I'll stick to reading tea-leaves in future :-)

Second attempt this morning at 1920 resisted.

Failure to break through is likely to result in a 50/60 point retrace.

[discodave4] 24/10/2017 08:40

Morning Ian.My SB is at breakeven at the moment. Will persist and see how it goes.ThanksDD

[ianwwwhite] 24/10/2017 08:31

URI closed 2% down, and the FTSE and FT250 are red this morning..... and AHT are up 29p. It's a funny world!

Thanks for sharing your approach, most interesting. I assume that overall, the profits are outweighing the losses?
