Cracking good results Empirestate, and could not resist a few this morning.

[empirestate] 26/6/2013 08:02

great results there, doub't if there will be much market response considering the lack of liquidity out there

[contact2fsnetcouk] 15/6/2013 01:01

Someone senses a bargin, one deal of 200,000 purchased today.

Would have liked to buy some myself but I am away next week and may miss out on some price uplift

[empirestate] 14/6/2013 10:17

just been looking at companies reporting for Monday and Tuesday and 3 caught my eye.

GBG:99p. Finals on Monday.

It has just bounced off the 50dma at a multi year high.The RSI is trending up in the low 60's and the MACD is looking to cross over.I would personally not enter a long until 104p is broken through.


BPM:128p. Finals on Tuesday.

just risen off the 50dma and MACD has just crossed over.I would enter a trade when 132p is broken through.


TCN:31p. Finals on Tuesday.

Not as keen on this one as it is over a down trending 50 and 200dma.It has bull bounced through the 200 and 50dma recently though.I would consider a long when 32p is broken through.

I don't have time today to go through all the charts so I will do something a little different this week.I will just comment on Monday and Tuesday today and later in the week I will look at the rest.

Monday:

All but one chart are looking bullish.The odd one out is MTO.So BTG(357p),CWK(1087p),E2V(125p) and ITE(294p) look like they may respond favourably to next weeks announcements based on the chart patterns they are in.

Tuesday:

My likes are:

BMY(115p)

BRBY(1455p)

HSV(226p)

MKS(451p)

TEP(1264p)

VOD(197p)

VTU(41p)*

GNC(118p)

PAG(354p)*

RNWH(975p)

Again the above charts look to be set up for a break out or very near


Wednesday likes are:

CWC(44p)

GPOR(593p)

HICL(133p)

ICP(456p)

SSE(1602p)

UKM(450p)


Thursdays likes:

All of them!

having looked at the charts for the key companies reporting from the above list they are all in a bullish pattern that has just broken out or is about to.I think that's a first for one day where I like the look of them all to do well and just goes to show how strong this market is.

pubs seem to be ding rather well so MAB may be of particular interest.

The Week behind:

most of my suggestions to do well this week did,but it has been over shadowed and out passed by a prediction I made back in September 2012 which has come to fruition this week......



The FTSE 100 is trending up just below a crucial line dating back to the 1980's.This line has acted as ascending support(mainly) and resistence.If the Ftse was to close over it at cerca 6000 to end a month,thus bringing the FTSE back into the long term up trend, that would lay the foundations for a rally into the mid 6000's and beyond. A bold statement i know! The MACD is about to cross up and the RSI at 55 and pointing up is well positioned for a break out.If all goes to plan then i would not be surprised to see the FTSE attempt my upper green line on the chart by April/May 2013 and may even to go on to the 7000's(may be a step to far).The only thing that would scupper this technicaly is the drop down through of the red line shown on my chart.This would bring about the"Ultimate Death cross" where the 50 month moving average drops down through the 200 month moving average......A scenario not even worth thinking about and not likely to happen anyway IMHO....lets see how it goes.

update 17th May 2013:

It went very well!

Mr Bluesky

[mr_bluesky] 05/5/2013 15:18

KNIGEL;

QPP is and interesting one!

It looks to be in a bull flag,but not a very strong one as it showed some weakness last week when it dropped down.

It could go either way,but a bullish signal would be if the RSI, now at c50 and trending down,turns back up towards the 60's and the MACD crosses back over.Look out for that and it could pop up,but the bears look to have control.

I would guess it will be all down to the finals on tuesday as to which way it goes for the short/medium term.

Mr Bluesky

[knigel] 04/5/2013 11:34

QPP results will be very interesting - especially as a famous shorter is now targeting the company (re share prophets website)

[mr_bluesky] 04/5/2013 10:35

The week behind:

Out of the 45 companies that reported last week listed in the Galvan week ahead article only 13 of them closed the week down which is pretty good.The worst performers where HVN,HOME(my pick),SHP and ISAT.
The best performers were ASC,BP.,WLF(my pick),CPW,LLOY(my pick),AVON and NVA.

My Picks: WLF,HOME,LLOY.

WLF: performed well and did go onto break out of the bull flag it was in to close the week up and it looks like there is more to come from the break out.

LLOY: Did very well also and made a bold attempt to fill the gap between 56 and 57.7p with an intraday high of 57.2p.the fact that the bottom of the gap was breached is encouraging although it did close the week back below it.

HOME: Well the market did not like what they read and the bullish pattern broke down in a big way.It just high lights how important it is not to enter into a bullish formation until it actualy breaks out.If you jumped into HOME early hoping for the break out you would be down now and there still looks like futher losses before it recovers IMO.

As for the FTSE 100 it is above 6,500 now and it will be seen next week if it is going onto beat the recent rally high of 6,534.Technicals on the charts show that it has a high probability of doing so and may even go onto cerca 6,700.The rally may still have legs yet after its little pull back,but it does seem to be fueled by the USA atm.



Key Companies Reporting: May 6th - 10th

Monday – No companies reporting.

Tuesday – Finals: Quindell Portfolio (LON:QPP).

Wednesday – Finals: Sainsbury (J) PLC (LON:SBRY). Interims: CSR (LON:CSR), Ruukki Group (LON:RKKI), Sage Group (The) (LON:SGE).

Friday –Finals: BT Group (LON:BT.A). Interims: International Consolidated Airlines Group (LON:IAG), TUI travel (LON:TT)

Having just looked at the charts from the selection above there are alot of bullish ones again.

The ones I find interesting are:

SBRY: 391p

It looks to be in a variation of a bull flag with the MACD looking to cross over(fast over slow) while trending in the +ve area.The RSI is at 60+ and trending up which is a good place for a rally to kick in.Confirmation of a bullish move will be the break out through 400p....Finals Wednesday

CSR: 507p

This is one of my faves as I have made some good money from this share.It looks to be in an extended bull flag.The MACD has already crossed over while in the +ve area and the RSI is in the 60's and trending up.Both very bullish signs.A break through of cerca 520p for confirmation to target c600p.....Finals Wednesday!

SGP: 712p

This is looking to be potentialy bullish,but does really need to clear c750p before I would consider entering.RSI is at 50+ and MACD needs to cross over(fast through slow) for a bullish signal.....finals thursday!

TT.: 324p

Again looks to be in a potentialy bullish formation.To confirm it needs to break out through c330p.RSI at 60 and trending up with MACD having just crossed into the +ve area.....Finals Friday!

Ok thats it for this week.There are a couple of other ones I like,but I will leave it at that.There are alot of other companies reporting next week,but Galvan have just chosen to feature the ones reporting finals this week for some reason so as this thread is set up around the Galvan week ahead article I shall just stick to those.

Now its time to light the B-B-Q.

Mr Bluesky

[mr_bluesky] 27/4/2013 18:03

I did'nt post here last week as Galvan did not issue its week ahead report on the Pro active investor site for some reason.....they have this week so...

Having just gone through all 47 charts a majority of them are still bullish although some are showing signs of rally fatigue and are pulling back from recent highs.

There are some obvious bearish ones and they are AND,EDR,IMT,CPW,NEX,DSC,ANTO,WEIR,AVM,BG.,BSY,RRS,RSA and DLG. It does not mean that a good report wont turn them around though.

The three I have singled out this week for looking bullish are:

LLOY: 53p

It has recently bounced off the ascending support at c46p and has rallied through 50p resistence to 53p in six trading days.

MACD has just entered into the +ve area from well into the -ve area and RSI at 60+ it looks set to advance onto the bottom of the gap at 56p and may even fill the gap over 57.7p(may be to much to hope for).

LLOY has a TS on Tuesday!


HOME: 158p

It bull bounced with a nice gap up in march and has been in consolidation pretty much under 160p since.MACD is looking to cross over while in the +ve area and RSI at 60 is well placed to rally.

A break over c160p with the first target of 180p.

Finals on Wednesday!


WLF: 195p

It is in a potential high and tight flag between the 50dma and the 200dma.

MACD has just gone into the +ve area and RSI at 60 could well see a break out to target c230p

Interims Tuesday!

I also quite like HVN,NVA and GNK

[sscrabble] 25/4/2013 20:40

Surprised that the price is not going up or even holding after the fairly positive trading update !

[allstar4eva] 25/4/2013 20:11

Lol! I if I see people doing wrong I call it out. I've seen you single CR out for attack and I can't really understand it unless it's simple jealousy? Do you want to be seen as a guru? I notice you also post on fingersxxxd as though you can offer some sort of advice. Lol! Fingers is also in a different league to you:-)

[allstar4eva] 25/4/2013 18:08

Lol! See his TCG thread holiday's over.

[cockneyrebel] 25/4/2013 17:44

Bluesky goes all into cash a few days before the UK rallies to near new highs - this guy's a disaster waiting to happen lolol.

[cjohn] 23/4/2013 13:00

Yes, I bought a load of thee when they went below 10p and I've now increased my holding significantly on the basis of recent updates.

There's very steep operational gearing on these. Look at their turnover in the second half. They should at least repeat that for the whole of next year, no working capital restraints have been dealt wiht. And that's not allowing for any growth from teh enw products, initiatives.

I particularly like the himt of higher margin product: software in the laser printing division
