Can we get back over 70 by COP? Would be nice. Especially as 71 is my average buy...

[dround87] 31/10/2018 15:05

Silly games being played today

[dround87] 31/10/2018 09:23

Someone must be leveraging hard to trade at these volumes!

[saeed45] 31/10/2018 09:06

Looks like 67p is the benchmark

[dround87] 31/10/2018 06:34

Markets rallying. What a turnaround! Hopefully in for a good day.

[rathean] 30/10/2018 20:51

Decent day and dare I say it a hint of a gentle rising trend forming? No confidence in it and previous support still resistance but still my second favourite defensive play.

[dround87] 29/10/2018 16:27

Good Monday considering

Dround87 - If earnings were rising fast then the share price would be region 150p.
Defensive stock because of steady rising earnings in a continuing (permanent) growth market (medicines).

I am still waiting on the side-lines as far as equities go.Markets worldwide are very jittery with interest rates rising in the US and their GDP not even able to service the interest on their ever rising $23 trillion debt, Crunch time is inevitable and quantative easing wont work this time around. Real inflation in the states is around 10% and as inflation rises worldwide so will interest rates to try and supress the inflattion. First equities will fall then property. But who knows , be prepared imo.

[dround87] 28/10/2018 19:45

It was a defensive stock. Not so sure now the growth has slowed.

[winnings1] 28/10/2018 19:10

I consider APH a defensive stock, the share price may wobble a little but won't crash in these turbulent times, indeed may even rise when markets are in sharp falls. I hold long term.

[dround87] 27/10/2018 07:44

*allianceBut yeah that's the simplified version. Traders and fund managers will seek out cash reserves during tough times and for APH that means it becomes a candidate for sale. Particularly because the share price has done badly and it's showing no signs yet of turning around. Call it sheep mentality but IMHO it takes more balls to sell when you're already a good way down than to hold through a crash. More bad news from US on Friday. FTSE down with it. Balance of trade heavily towards selling. I'm tightening my stops to the bone. Looking very uncertain for next week.

saeed well to try to be helpful, investing is about researching or knowing the company and putting your money in. So that's the money. But the stock market is often about sentiment- eg where will the economy be in 18 months - and no-one knows that answer. But the market acts like a herd and if they think they see a wolf, they run one way and if they think they are a wolf, they run the other way. Anf little companies like Alpha get carried along.

[dround87] 26/10/2018 15:30

Many reasons DYOR

[norbert colon] 26/10/2018 15:26

May impact on the 'price' but has zero correlation to the value of the APH business!

[saeed45] 26/10/2018 14:47

How does Dow Jones and Nasdaq affect share prices?

[dround87] 26/10/2018 10:03

Just thinking this didn't close at 68 yesterday. The spread was at least 2p lower. Weird.

[dround87] 25/10/2018 18:06

Looks like a rebound on the DOW

[dround87] 25/10/2018 17:39

Wow! Not a bad day considering Dow lost all it's gains! Glad I didn't hit my stops because I would have stayed out expecting further drops.

[dround87] 25/10/2018 13:41

Amazed we're flat! Great news!

[dround87] 25/10/2018 09:53

I think it's a little early to tell. There's some big stuff happening worldwide at the moment but I think it's unclear where things will go. You may be right. Didn't hit my 5pc stop yet today but I'm not moving it.

[malcolmmm] 25/10/2018 09:29

Markets are becoming more volatile, usually this happens before a major correction. The Dow has lost this years gains so I am out for the time being and trading commodities, FX and crypto currencies for some good gains so far. Back in for the Xmas rally in a couple of months.

[saeed45] 25/10/2018 07:29

Yeah true prob will fall in the morning. Then go up again

[dround87] 25/10/2018 07:16

US and Asia didn't do well over night. I would set some tight stops. If we go down you can buy back in at a lower price. If not happy days! But I think we are.

[saeed45] 25/10/2018 07:14

Why is it heading down?
