PerfidoNice, gap filled.

Hi DD,

Power ahead? (from close 5098 5/12/23)

Hopefully not before the price drops to fill the gap at 4980, and has given me the opportunity to repurchase some shares I sold on 14th Dec at 5372 (see post 62370)

Tipped in the Sunday Times - Ashtead is set to power ahead.Another gap up tomorrow perhaps?

Good day disc0, mayers and fenners

"Not a very good start to the New Year, 4 days trading and nearly 7% down :("
=============================================================================

As Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said "Into each life some rain must fall"

Gap at 4980 not yet filled. The share price gapped up from the close on 13 December and opened at 5276 on the 14 December. The share price has not dropped to 4980 since the gap up. But look on the bright side. A drop to fill the gap is likely to complete the cycle and may provide a buying opportunity.

"Why does bracke always have to be correct about the gaps further down being filled ? !!"
===================================================================================

It's the way of the market. I also mention gaps to the upside when appropriate. There are gaps at 5712, 5830, 6200 and 6328 but they are not yet within striking distance. Something for you to look forward to fenners.

Why does bracke always have to be correct about the gaps further down being filled ? !!

[mayers] 05/1/2024 21:25

Well, the fall does appear to have filled the downward gap.I imagine Bracke will advise.

Good evening Mr bNot a very good start to the New Year, 4 days trading and nearly 7% down :(

Good day disc0

"Will the market shrug this off?"
================================

Those who were caught out by the good/bad news will want to move the market back up if only to reduce/eliminate their losses. Where the market then goes will be influenced by current events and Hybrid Hawk/Dove J Powell.

NFP 216k v 170kUnemployment no change at 3.7% v 3.8% forecast.Will the market shrug this off?

Good day disc0

I was thinking more Pavlov's dogs.

[disc0dave46] 04/1/2024 11:16

I see Mr Powell has done his usual happy face then sad face routine again. Me thinks he's a believer in the praise sandwich strategy of feeding back to the market.

[disc0dave46] 03/1/2024 16:23

Good afternoon Mr bSurely Mr P is accountable to no one!! lolRed Sea issues causing folks to panic yet again, have heard shipping costs have sky rocketed again - BMS could be a decent trade thinking about it?.

[bracke] 03/1/2024 15:25

Good day disc0

Viewing the current UK and Global situation I think Happy New Year is expecting too much. I will go with 'Hopefully An Improving 2024'.

As to Mr Powell; who knows. Last time he did a 180 degree turn from what he had said two weeks earlier. Maybe it depends on what Mr Biden has told him to do?

[disc0dave46] 03/1/2024 12:15

Happy New Year AHT'ers, although so far it looks like being a risk off start to the year.Will Mr Powell be as dovish later today as he was last month?, somehow I think he'll be trying to subdue market expectations in terms of the likely number of cuts this year.....who knows, he may be just as dovish and off we go?.

[palwing32] 27/12/2023 13:00

You too, Lairdavid. I am one of the etc and have been here since the Hatto days, but I sold most of my holdings far too early. I still have a small holding, but life is running out fast and I may have to cash in to enjoy the profits before it's too late. GLA for 2024 and may all your camels bear fruit.

[fenners66] 26/12/2023 19:18

I see the yanks are going nuts again.
URI seems like its closing in on $600 so soon after breaching $500

[fenners66] 26/12/2023 19:17

Thank your Lairddavid may you have a prosperous New Year .

[lairddavid] 24/12/2023 21:09

Merry Christmas to all, espescially the long termers, Ibrox(fenners), Rescuer, Johnny M. etc. If I had your staying power I would have beem a millionaire Like hatto. I made a few quid but am now full in on AGL. (worth a look) Good luck to all.

[bracke] 23/12/2023 16:55

A Happy Christmas To All. As for 2024 hopefully an improvement on 2023.

[disc0dave46] 23/12/2023 15:38

Good evening Mr bAs ever thanks for the pretty chart.....those pesky gaps eh!.Merry Christmas all AHT'ers

[bracke] 22/12/2023 14:26

Good day disc0

Thanks for the link Mr Thompson is obviously not an admirer of BoE forecasts.
We British tend to be a pessimistic bunch, probably due to the weather.

As I type the US Market is moving up again but will be interesting to see if the rise holds to the close.

In the meantime AHT opened with a gap today from 5440 which it has not filled.
