That's not going to work too well for long. That would mean 1000 percent rise in council tax for me which I simply can't afford. Add that to increased income tax and I'm out of this country! How does that work for rental property then. So you rent, don't own but are responsible for. Pencil tax. Will maybe the poll tax issue look like handbags. Moron policy.

Clarky! I am the opposite stuck in a long about 400 points adrift.

[fenners66] 01/6/2017 22:22

Clearly designed to take from the rich and give to the "tennants" .......

[clarky5150] 01/6/2017 22:14

I'm more of a clearasilmoron. Selfish I know but I am genuinely hoping for a little further on the slide in the hope aht drags uri with it. ''Tis that yank company that has me under water on a short. Doesn't seem to want to play ball today tho.
After that I will be as long as a long thing.

What's an oxy?

[ianwwwhite] 01/6/2017 21:22

With the greatest respect bracke, surely a 'reformed penitent' is an oxymoron?

Putting aside my halo for a moment....even if the share price manages to break and hold above 1600 it remains in a downtrend until it posts a higher high which means a break and hold above 1650.

[bracke] 01/6/2017 14:50

Yes there's nothing quite like a poacher turned gamekeeper or a reformed penitent.

Typical, born again investors! accusing innocent bloggers of de-ramping.
Come back Dark Vader, all is forgiven.
Cheers

Many a true word said in jest.

I am hoping for an increase in share price at or approaching the results on the 13th.

[discodave4] 01/6/2017 12:44

Is it a case of:bracke long go shortbracke short go longOnly kidding! :)DD

Good day 2flat

Your post comes perilously close to a de-ramp. I really don't know what has come over contributors to this thread,. It now appears bearishness is fashionable.

As to "the light" it seems to me that each post makes it dimmer!


clarky

As you know I too was bitten by the AHT rise following my short....oh the pain. However I am determined to make some money out of this share and if that means a buy so be it but how long I hold for is another matter.

[clarky5150] 01/6/2017 12:08

The sudden take off North late last year can be explained in one sentence. I closed long and went short in the drop between the market opening on Trumps win day and his pie in the sky speech 30 minutes later. The gods of long have punished me since.

[2flatpack] 01/6/2017 11:45

Has greed invaded the thread? WE all seem to expect the price to go up and up.

The share price is just below my trend line going back to 2012.
I feel the share price overshot from 8 November 2016 to March 2017.
This I put down to two factors.
The shares had been under a shorting attack and were rising to its normal range, when the unbelievable euphoria at the Trump win sent the share price into run away mode.
I would suggest the share price is at about the correct level but expect a lift to results.
I would also like to welcome bracke to the light.
Cheers

"I think we need to see another leg down to tempt investors back in."
======================================================================

WHAT!!!!!! SUCH NAKED DE-RAMPING. NO MORE OF THAT SORT OF POSTING CLARKY OTHERWISE YOU MAY RECEIVE A VISIT FROM THE 'MANAGEMENT'!!!!

Once again yesterday was a high volume day but a slight win for the sellers.

[clarky5150] 01/6/2017 09:20

Another failed attempt to kickstart the share price this a.m I see. I think we need to see another leg down to tempt investors back in.

[bracke] 30/5/2017 17:04

Another very tight range day with high volume.

The battle between buyers and sellers continues with no winner.

Which side is going to capitulate first? As and when they do I expect a 100 point move.

[kilgallp] 30/5/2017 09:42

No problem Ianw.

[fenners66] 30/5/2017 09:31

Hard facts from that are that labour cost has increased.

[ianwwwhite] 30/5/2017 09:12

Good day ian

Supposedly the current temperatures are the highest since 1944.

I think that the 13 June is key. If the results are good and the share price fails to respond in a reasonable manner ie. higher high it would suggest that there is a problem.
