what is this ? tia

Are markets efficient? Is it possible to predict the future? No idea. Another coincidence again here:

[tpaulbeaumont] 31/1/2012 12:05

How curious

[tpaulbeaumont] 31/1/2012 11:57

Markets can turn anywhere.

Of course jon, IMHO.

"its manipulated" is the noise inept people make to ignore their own failings.

'The idea that some shadowy group or other is running things for their own benefit, not that of the ordinary working man, is, after all, the constant solace of the unsuccessful.'

read this other day, thought it sounded about right! lol


Whats is the most prominent fallacy in the publics perception about markets?

That the market can be manipulated. That there is some group on Wall Street that can control price action in the markets. I can go into any market and create a stir for a day or two, maybe even a week if I go into the market at just the right moment. By giving a little gas on the upside, I can create the illusion of a bull market. But unless the market is really sound the second I stop buying, the price is going to come right down again.

oh! what's whats occuring, and what does opine stand for?

[tpaulbeaumont] 17/12/2011 12:29

Coincidence struck again here ( +/- a bit!) months in advance.

[tpaulbeaumont] 17/12/2011 12:26

I havent updated this particular linked thread for a while, however the last Sell signals were 1242 and 1277, and the recent high was 1272, so not as accurate as the recent past.

[tpaulbeaumont] 17/12/2011 12:09

Ive just realised the wording on this one may have appeared ambiguous, oh well :) Seem to have lucked out again

[tpaulbeaumont] 17/12/2011 12:02

Markets can, and do, seemingly turn from anywhere. Coincidence strikes here, weeks in advance. Theres some open signals on this one too :)

[tpaulbeaumont] 16/12/2011 15:57

A measly few recent(ish) examples and the links to the threads from whence they came, all of which are in the header :)

The arrows denote when the post was made, the lines denote the price signal levels.

Not to be confused with 'social masturbating', which is the repeated reposting of anything someone has said that has been tenuously close to what may have happened in the world, but may or may not have been practical to actually make any profit from ;)

WYG: Quarter of operations face overhaul after review
15 January 2010

By Tom Bill

Chief executive of consultant says changes are next stage in recovery after refinancing deal

Paul Hamer, the chief executive of WYG, has said the consulting engineer is in the final stages of a review that will result in it abandoning or changing up to a quarter of its operations.

The "long overdue" review, which Hamer will unveil in the summer, follows the refinancing of its £100m debt pile, which shareholders voted through last week. Hamer, who took over at the £262m-turnover firm last February, said the changes were the next stage in its recovery plan, now it was on a sounder financial footing. Last October it posted a pre-tax loss of £129m.

He said: "We've held up all parts of the business to the mirror to see how strong they are. The result is a hierarchy of priorities. In future we'll do 25% in a different way or not at all."

He declined to reveal which areas would be affected but said the top priorities were planning, transport, energy, sustainability, water and waste.

But he said WYG would not become an infrastructure specialist. He said: "I'm nervous about that sort of single identity. We're comfortable as a multidisciplinary firm."

Asked how the firm would change, Hamer said: "We will do more higher up the value chain. We want to sit alongside the client to manage the design rather than get involved in detailed structural engineering work offloaded by a contractor."

He also said WYG would alter its overseas growth model by focusing on hubs rather than single countries. "We recently won work in Bosnia and Croatia on the back of a job in Serbia."

Paul Hamer's three-point recovery plan


-
1 Create a business fit for purpose
"Most redundancies are behind us. More efficiencies will be driven from the business, but we're looking to refine not restructure."

2 Internationalise
"UK and Ireland account for 80% turnover but the medium-term plan is for 50% of revenue from overseas." Abu Dhabi will be the base to move into Qatar, Oman and Saudi.

3 Create peaks of excellence
"We won't work in low-margin, low-risk arenas. We're not interested in being a top 20 'me-too' player in any market."

Gisjob

You put it so well.

I have always wondered how these guys get away with it. A highly profitable company brought to its knees by overly highly paid execs, who after all end up with a good chunk of the company on the pretext of reconstruction, and take a 'pay sacrifice' which is not really a pay cut at all if you factor in the nice handouts they get for being such nice guys in agreeing to the deal.

Wish they treated their shareholders the same way!!! No chance!

Did you notice the Document runs to 120 pages, which would put anyone to sleep!!! It however does not give the critical info of the effect on the Balance Sheet after the reconstruction.

[deanroberthunt] 08/1/2010 13:06

[deanroberthunt] 08/1/2010 11:55

[jas0701] 08/1/2010 00:31

Price between 5p and 1p, a scary thought!!!

Can some body help, i really need to call a day with this one and invest in a similar priced, ISA applicable share.

Any recomendations please.

Jas

[encarter] 07/1/2010 23:25

As they are reducing the nominal value from 5p to 1p i would expect the placing price to be between the two.
