Yes Div is 4p so why 44p drop - any suggestions please

[discodave4] 14/1/2016 13:59

Div was 4p!DD

[clarky5150] 14/1/2016 10:31

The 40 point drop was predicted due to ex divi. On the whole it has probably done us no harm as the we would have been dragged down anyway on a red day.

[broadwood] 14/1/2016 09:21

Gone ex div today.

Although 3 years away the new lease accounting rule may bring substantial business to AHT - short term hiring is exempt I believe, so businesses will not want to have what could be millions of pounds added to their liabilities on the balance sheet if they can get around it by hiring!.hTTp://www.accountancyage.com/aa/news/2441603/new-lease-accounting-rule-brings-usd3trn-onto-company-balance-sheets"Entities that have significant operating leases, such as lessees of real estate, large equipment and machinery, and transportation vehicles, will be most affected by the standard, which is effective 1 January 2019."DD

Good day 2flat

REF Forks

You will find that the 'crux' is correct identification of the final pivot. There are ways of improving its selection. There is a lot of information available but be warned if you are going to go down the forking path you have a fair amount of reading and effort ahead of you. However once you have a grasp it is very useful.

Morning bracke
Spent most of my free time forking about.
I found it very interesting.
Have realized its more to do with validation and interpretation of the results.
I have been forking every thing and will wait to see if my predictions are of value .
Once again thanks for your time.
Cheers

From Bloomberg:
The December job gains, which were probably helped by mild winter weather across much of the country, were led by temporary-help services, health care, transportation and construction.

Job gains in construction - good news surely, but once again, not really being reflected in the share price ?????

Good afternoon 2flat

My view on AHT is based on the Daily chart.

[2flatpack] 08/1/2016 13:39

Afternoon bracke
One question if I may.
What time scale are you using.
cheers

[bracke] 08/1/2016 13:01

and 950 and 908 and 883. Then there as those above.

[dealer1972] 08/1/2016 11:52

wonder if the gap at 990.5p is next to be filled

[clarky5150] 08/1/2016 08:40

Bit of a weak start from the precious this morning.

[2flatpack] 07/1/2016 18:40

Cheers bracke
Will let you know.

[bracke] 07/1/2016 17:38

Good evening 2flat

You will have noted it came close to 1000 today and has closed cxlose to the Daily SMA 200.

My suggestion of the August low is based on my use of Pitchforks the Median Line of which takes the share price down to the August low. This link will assist.



Does this help?

[bracke] 07/1/2016 17:22

Agree with you about China.

I'll settle for Elite Guru. Modesty forbids additional sobriquet.......for the time being.

[2flatpack] 07/1/2016 17:12

Evening bracke
Playing with my charts I see March/April as the meeting of the up and down trends but then using my spoon I get a S/P around 1000 .
Would you fill in the gaps a little as I am trying.
Yes I Know very trying.
Cheers

[ianwwwhite] 07/1/2016 15:21

bracke

lol!

We've been here before over the years, but in my personal view this time it is a little different.

It seems to be the immaturity of the China markets, and a propensity to gamble on the part of their investors that is leading to dramatic swings, and overshoots, both up and down. Anybody's guess really as to what may happen in the short term, particularly with a Chinese government prone to intervention.

However, they do say that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, so your views are always appreciated, and accepted with the usual caveats.

Guru? King? whatever next!

"I'll continue to watch with interest!"
=======================================

So will I. I may have to make a quick departure!

As always, thanks for your views. I'll continue to watch with interest!

Good day ian

"buying opportunity"
====================

That's one way of putting it!

If the timing is correct it has been possible to make money shorting this share price but it takes pleasure in tormenting. It appears wounded and limping and encourages the naysayers before springing up and grinding to dust those who had the temerity to think it was going to fall. There is no doubt that buyers have made the money.

Is it all about to change? Whether it is or isn't there is a fair probability that the share price will fall further.

Yes I have been at the tea leaves again. Those of a weak disposition are advised to read no further.

Do not be surprised if the share price pays a visit to the August low approx March/April or earlier if there is a wide market sell off.
