Looks like Sir J Stewart to me.

How very disappointing! I had hoped that as Deutsche Bank teetered on the edge, and shed staff, this annoying analyst might be amongst them. :)

In the meantime the DT Questor column tipped AHT in the last few days as a buy, and it is almost as if the DT comments have deliberately been misquoted:

Unbelievable, there is only one "analyst" (from Deutsche - say no more) with a sell, they must be doing someone a favour. The last couple of lines then creased me up by saying:"Yet some experts believe that construction and building businesses could do well after the US election as both presidential candidates have pledged to spend on infrastructure."hTTp://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/investing/article-3911178/TRADERS-TIPS-City-insiders-say-flutter-Labrokes-ditch-equipment-rental-firm-Ashtead.htmlDD

SP has broken below the last fib at 1229.5. Retest of 1184 possible.

I didn't mention it before because knowing how sensitive some are it may have caused upset but given the latest price action now seems to be a suitable time..........It is probable that it may reach the ML at approx 1150, whether there is a retrace first remains to be seen.

Having left that little gem to be considered I wish you all a pleasant weekend. Just one more thought, if it does continue down think of all the buying you can do for the rise.

Ref Post 52720

1257.5 failed to hold and the share price has dropped to the fib at 1229.5 where it currently rests.

To buy or to wait?

The trend is down so you want an indication that it is about to reverse. The last major swing low was reached on 21 September at 1184. The probability is that it will want to test that level.

The other factor to consider is the US Election and who wins.

D, I too enjoyed the webcast. However, analysts reaction was negative as the price fell over the next few days in reaction to it. I can only assume that analysts thought the plans were too optimistic.

Well I finally got round to watching the webcast from the Analyst and Investor meeting from 13th October 2016 and was very impressed.

I think seeing three hours of viewing time at the start of the webcast was off putting and the reason I never got around to watching it earlier, but well worth the wait.

Compelling viewing for any long term holder, roll on 2021 and I just hope the next five years are half as rewarding as the last five.

Afternoon bracke

100% 1184 21 Sept. 16
0% 1364 14 Oct. 16
74,6% 1227

Last top of triple top 1221 26 March 15
I expect this to give good support but its wait and see.
As always thanks for your thoughts.
Have a good weekend.
cheers

Good day 2flat

I'm uncertain how you are measuring the fibs but be that as it may.

I have it resting on the second (1257.5( to last fib (1229.5) before the last major swing low at 1184.

If the current support fails and it drops to 1229.5 the probability is that it will want to test 1184.

I see the the 76.4% is around the triple top area.
Not being a technical person I intend to start my spread betting account if it gets that low,long of course.
I see today is the sixth red in a row one more and the rule of 7 should kick in.
It all makes life interesting.
Cheers

Will await the bullish engulfing one then once these pesky ninja's have had their fun.DD

Good day Disco

Sort of. They like to leave you guessing what they are going to do next.

Yesterday's looks like a Graveyard Doji, opened and closed at the bottom of the candle.

To-day the share price gaped on open, dropped but has pulled back up to the opening share price

Bears have been in control since the high at 1365 but bulls are putting the brakes on, will they hold. You can almost smell the burning rubber!!
