Did bounce a little off its low ...hopefully there may be a bit of a relief rally when the seller has finished ...who knows ?

I love surprises like that so very welcome. Also surprised to see a mark down on the day i thought it would go up but there you go.

A bit disappointed personally. Was hoping for a mega payout. Still that cash isn't going anywhere fast. Will get it in the end.

[ignoble] 18/6/2013 15:21

welcome all the same ...

Aye ,a few new articles on the Sykes blog ...good reading about expansion in the UAE.

A model manufacturer named Trofeu have released a fine model of a Rally Ford Sierra all decked out in the Andrews Heat for Hire Logo

Andrews were huge sponsors of Russell Brookes and his Rally Team driving Ford Escorts, Lancia Opel and the like all in the Andrews Heat for Hire Colours
Great little models ...

Looks like we are going to be sidswiped by some steamy weather this week. All of you lads iin the south will see temperatures up to 25-28C by Tuesday/Wednesday, possibly a 30C. Sur la Continent there could be temps of 34 to 38C, so at the very least, the European depots are going to be busy. Not going to last though, but at least it's a taster.

Deep Joy ...!

Still, as an ASY holder ,any extreme of weather is welcome

See 500 LSC were bought today ,guess "The Family" are picking them up.
IMHO

Yes not long till the nights start pulling in!

[keithfox] 13/6/2013 07:59

I'm afraid it's slipped south. Yup, it's not looking good, certainly for 10 days or so and probably longer. Still, by then we'll be looking forward to winter.

[ignoble] 12/6/2013 18:42

Some weather forecaster named Leon Brown 0f The Weather Channel (or something like that)is predicting a month of wet and windy conditions as the Jet Stream slips south !

[keithfox] 12/6/2013 12:49

Just thought. Even though it looks like they'll be paying out a bit more for the pension this year, that will be more than offset (probably) by ther lack of share buybacks this year. Over 800k spent last year.

Only just noticed there was a trade today during the 11.00 auction.

[cockerhoop] 11/6/2013 14:47

I guess its a persistent seller/buyer attempting to trade what he thinks the market will take each day without moving the price too much (my guess it's a seller). Checked with my broker at 13.30 and there were no trades on the SETSqx order book as yet today.

Yes each auction is independent but I believe un-matched trades in an auction would would carry forward to the next 1 until the order is cancelled.

[keithfox] 11/6/2013 14:26

Think I get that. However, it doesn't really explain why there seems to be someone selling at between 2700 and 2900 shares everyday for 2 weeks. Never seen this before, and why the same number? Is each daily auction completely independent? These must be connected in some way, cant be pure fluke that each trade is almost identical.

[cockerhoop] 11/6/2013 13:50

Keith,

Just to clarify the info I gave last week related to SETS stocks which trade in real time with additional Opening and Closing auctions.

[cockerhoop] 11/6/2013 13:47

Keith,

It's because ASY is a SETSqx stock. These stocks have auctions at Opening, 11.00, 15.00 and Closing.
So the trades you are observing are matched trades during the 15.00 auction.

ie. Someone enters a Sell order on the order book at 14.30 say 1000 @ 246, then at 14.45 someone offers to buy 2000 at 246. When the auction opens at 15.00 a trade of 1000 at 246 occurs.

This all occurs outside of the conventional market making process.

But in answer to your question today it's both a buy and sell at the same price ie 246p.

[keithfox] 11/6/2013 11:38

.....and why is it always 2500-3000?....everyday. Are they sells or buys, or what?

[ignoble] 07/6/2013 16:18

Not me Sir !

Always a mystery how the stock trades

[keithfox] 07/6/2013 16:16

Everyday this week there has been a UT trade posted at 1500 around 2500 to 3000 and always at the bid price. What's all that about?.......doesn't seem to affect the price much either. Noticed the odd one before but not everyday.

[keithfox] 06/6/2013 09:05

They may be able to help from the Dutch/Italian/german depots but its hard to tell how much. Regarding our weather. looks like the fine weather lasting through to early next week then there will be some rain around during the rest of the week but winds going round to the south/southwest which means it'll be pretty warm at times too with some nice days, especially in the south. Not too bad for asy with a reasonable first couple of weeks of June, much better than last year.

[ignoble] 05/6/2013 19:52

Keith,
Are all these terrible floods in Europe areas where ASY could help out ?
Watching the news , looks terrible

[keithfox] 03/6/2013 08:34

All on track for a good week with temperatures reaching 25C in places later in the week (as per, of course!). Lot of doubt after that but there are indications that it could be nice the following week despite all the doom and gloom we've been hearing. There are some odd models (10%) that are giving the possibility of some really hot weather towards the middle of June. Anyway, a good week this week and a fair chance of good weather next week, which will more than equal all the nice weather we had last year. Will update.
