Bracke, I'll have a pot of M&S tea and think about it :-/

[optomistic] 10/10/2014 10:12

Did I mention short a couple of days ago...oh dear done it again, sorry Bracke :-/

[bracke] 10/10/2014 09:57

No I'm not posting a word about it.

[bracke] 09/10/2014 14:53

LAIRD

Not wanting to cause panic among the brethren but there is a larger gap some way lower.

Edit

Only 27p away from the August gap then.....upwards and onwards.

[bracke] 09/10/2014 14:02

And today's gap filled. Wasn't that neat.

[bracke] 09/10/2014 12:02

Gap to the upside filled but as Monday it could not hold. Now there is a gap to the downside from yesterday's close to today's open.

opto - was it : "there's no fool like...." daren't finish...

Good morning Bracke...that put two of us in place in one fell swoop (old saying , don't know its origin but it seems to fit the bill well) that's another one LOL
...back to my pot of tea :-/

"Tempted with a short yet Bracke?"
===================================

How could you ask such a question! There are sensitive shareholders reading this thread. To mention the word 'SHORT' is not a nice thing to do. Consider yourself reprimanded.

Less of the 'old' if you please. I am just getting into my stride.


The SP

One gap filled another opened. There are gaps below with a main one at 8/11 August - 869.5.

Data from the FED today may decide whether the share price rises to fill the opening gap or continues down. If it does rise and fills the gap it is decision time. Look at the price action following the gap fill on Monday

[lairddavid] 08/10/2014 11:13

At least there is another gap to report!!!

Gurus never wear out, a little frayed at the edges perhaps but never worn out.

[uppompeii] 08/10/2014 10:29

I think dear old bracke is worn out.

[clarky5150] 08/10/2014 08:59

I said about 3 months ago that we would break 10 quid for Christmas. I am confident now that we will see a new high prior to the big fella coming down the chimney.
That is a long way down to tempt a short but I thought the same at £2,£3, £4 etc.

Jitters about the FED minutes tomorrow combined with lowered rating may have contributed to the big drop (7%) at URI:Http://sleekmoney.com/united-rentals-lowered-to-neutral-at-bank-of-america-uri/33186/GLDD

Long time since I was in AHT but it certainly looks to have some downside from here.
Tempted with a short yet Bracke?

[discodave4] 07/10/2014 20:18

More of the same tomorrow?, URI down 6.5% at the moment (ouch).GLDD

[bracke] 06/10/2014 10:27

And the gap above filled..........

Traders attributed Ashtead's fall to a 6 percent drop overnight in the shares of its rival United Rental, with both companies impacted by weak U.S. factory activity data earlier this week. Ashtead derives 84 percent of its revenues from the United States
