clarky
I do every thing they touch has turned to gold.
I am still waiting for the big BUT.
I like most things about the company but the big plus for me same as AHT is the management .
cheers

The share price has pulled itself back up to the top of the down channel.

The US Futures this morning have been dropping so AHT has been moving against the US flow. The US markets as usual are having a tantrum because of the 0.25% interest increase but more because of the end of easy money.

Afternoon all. Took a cheeky short first thing on AHT and cashed out fairly quickly with profit missing the bottom by a few pence. Also halved my existing short holding. Could this be the bottom we were looking for?
URIs first 2 hrs of trading will set the stall out for us I think.
As an aside, doubled my holding in TW since the election. That is my main play now but want to get a good position on AHT once the smoke has cleared. Impressed by the recovery today after the opening falter.

Fingers xxd are you about old friend? What is your take on AHT short and mid term?

Good day froggie

Thank you for explanation. Ref Post 53908 Has more than a touch of another who posts on here.

Good day fenners

There are so many of these abbreviations I forget some of them, especially as I am not a fundamentalist using them on a regular basis.

morning froggy
The last line of your defense statement is the only one I would comment on and its an obvious lie .
You should fit in well.
wellcome
Cheers

Seriously Bracke you did not know Free cash flow?

Were you thinking "Frogs Can Float"?

Clarky with regard to URI tanking - there is always comfort in Sunbelt taking market share from them

[ilovefrogs] 15/6/2017 10:38

Bracke - Free Cash Flow (so neither 'F' is for frog, importantly)

[bracke] 15/6/2017 10:35

Good day 2flat

I remain suspicious of the frog. Such coincidence stretches ones credulity.

[ilovefrogs] 15/6/2017 09:42

'Carnage' is unlikely in my view. Still a very solid Company with oodles of FCF - if the 'techies' push it down, there'll be plenty of 'fundies' who'll want to pick it up!

[fenners66] 15/6/2017 09:08

Short closed a bit too early then Clarky...

[clarky5150] 14/6/2017 19:17

Forget your higher highs and lower lows, if URI close anywhere near today's bottom you can get ready for carnage in AHT land in the morning!

[ilovefrogs] 14/6/2017 19:03

Somebody obviously been spreading some 'frogs-porn' then.....:-))

(If you don't get it, just say it a few times to yourself...)

[bracke] 14/6/2017 18:58

bracke departs mumbling that frogs can get you into hot water.

[ianwwwhite] 14/6/2017 18:51

Thanks ilovefrogs for clearing this up.

Nice advert!

[discodave4] 14/6/2017 18:47

Ian, see what you did there:"a bit jumpy where frogs are concerned"Add wit to nice and educated!.ILoveFrogs - Welcome and thanks. Yep aware of the impact to eps but wasn't aware of how it impacts the accounts.DD

[ilovefrogs] 14/6/2017 18:44

Ah, ok - purely coincidental people. My moniker comes from a reed employment advert a few years ago which my daughter loved. It ends with '...and Alan, you can be a frogman' to which Alan replies 'I love Frogs!'. Further evidence at link.



Well, that's about as off-topic as you can get!!

[ianwwwhite] 14/6/2017 18:39

Hi bracke,

I agree re targets, thanks, amazing the degree of correlation between your charts and my gut instinct!!
