20/7/2017 10:37 | Last week I updated my AHT chart with a new Pitchfork. To-day the share price has gapped straight to the ML. There was an 80% probability that it would do so but I didn't expect to reach that level until the end of the month. Continuance above the ML is 50/50. The highest closing high was 1751 which is the logical next target. | bracke | |
20/7/2017 08:44 | Morning Disco Well done on your profit 2 flat | fenners66 | |
20/7/2017 08:34 | Morning fenners.Been trying to find some numbers for CRS but no joy.DD | discodave4 | |
20/7/2017 08:21 | Killing complete ! sold at 1710. Yahoo. Cheers | 2flatpack | |
20/7/2017 08:18 | Looking at CRS their locations are all in Ontario (just over the border from the US) so we will not be seeing Sunbelt kit on Gold Rush I suspect.... Anyone found out what their turnover , profit and BS are like? | fenners66 | |
20/7/2017 08:11 | GAP UP ! oh dear that's a shame we know what Bracke is going to tell us about that. I was wondering about the recent share price moves and that announcement of Canadian business purchase. You may remember that before the purchase of Nations Rent the share price was flying , then dropped like a stone then the Rights Issue to buy NR was announced. Recently we have been falling again after on track results etc and then pre/post the announcement of this (large) bolt on we shoot up. Is this just reaction to the news ? Or did the institutions get wind of a large acquisition and assume a rights issue was in the wind? RI does not materialise and the market goes back up to await the next opportunity? | fenners66 | |
19/7/2017 23:15 | Nice one fenners.......CLLN, the writing was on the wall for long enough!.DD | discodave4 | |
19/7/2017 18:38 | That charts looking better | fenners66 | |
19/7/2017 18:37 | Au contraire - if they are spending this much then there is not as much fire power for a larger target - bolt ons , bolt ons..... Been having some fun looking at Carillion apart from the low brow bickering there is a lesson to be learned from the short interest held by the institutions for the last few years there. Made me think about the psychology of profit warnings and I had this take on it :- Remember CLLN stated that a review of cashflow had prompted the discovery and write off of £850m. So my take on what that actually meant ... Senior management to operating arm - "hows things going?" operating arm " Ok ,bit slow but we have billed " 3 months go by Senior management to operating arm - "hows things going?" operating arm " Ok ,bit slow but we are struggling with collecting billed work" 2 months goes by Senior management to operating arm - "Where is the cash?" operating arm " Ah well there might be a small issue on one of the contracts , nothing to worry about" 1 month goes by Senior management to operating arm - "Where is the cash, do we need to send someone to collect it?" operating arm " Well that small issue may be a bit bigger than we thought" 1 month goes by Senior management to operating arm - "We'll have to review the situation, we'll get some outside auditors in because they don't know the details and will never get the wool pulled over their eyes" operating arm " Ok well there is no need to panic I'm sure....." 1 month goes by Senior management to operating arm - "We're screwed - aren't YOU ! " operating arm " Ok we've identified a small provision required - not much cash cost to worry about though....." Senior management to the markets £850m should cover it Senior management to operating arm - " is that really everything? " And so it goes on - human nature to delay the bad news in the hope that a, it gets better b, someone else declares their bad news first, it may be worse than yours and then you don't look as bad c, that may mean senior management gets others to sack first and has not got time to sack you d, just delaying the inevitable in order to get some interviews in first.... Howzat? | fenners66 | |
19/7/2017 10:15 | Good day fenners You are awarded a Gold Star for your foresight but the acquisition must have you thinking about larger ones and the spectre of a 'you know what'! Gap fill probable. | bracke | |
19/7/2017 09:22 | "Q was the business purchased in Canada the first expansion into that country? If so how soon before we see Sunbelt on "Gold Rush"?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nice one fenners, good call! This info from AHT's strategic plan adds some background: STRATEGIC PRIORITIES Target 15% US market share Take 5% Canadian market share Increase UK market share by 50% More background at: (half way down) . | ianwwwhite | |
19/7/2017 08:29 | My post : 53860 "Q was the business purchased in Canada the first expansion into that country? If so how soon before we see Sunbelt on "Gold Rush"?" I had an inkling that it would signal expansion into Canada..... | fenners66 | |
18/7/2017 18:46 | bracke lol!! Thanks for your comments, as always, interesting times.. | ianwwwhite | |
18/7/2017 17:52 | A typical AHT day. The DOW takes fright but AHT continues as if nothing had happened, must be the fundamentals. To-day's candle is a hammer but as it comes after a rising price trend it is called a hanging man and is usually considered bearish reversal.....but Bulkowski states: "The hanging man is probably one of the better known candlestick patterns, but it does not work as many expect. Candle theory says it acts as a bearish reversal of the prevailing price trend, but my tests show that it is really a bullish continuation 59% of the time. Of course, that is what I call "near random." The hanging man appears frequently in a historical price series, but the trend after the breakout is dismal, ranking 87 out of 103 candle patterns where 1 is best." Mr Trump not doing very well with Obamacare and the Budget. | bracke | |
18/7/2017 10:12 | Following yesterdays large rise a retrace to-day is to be expected. | bracke | |
17/7/2017 17:48 | ian I never doubted your genuine interest with my chart analysis. 27 years!!! I doubt i'll still be around. The long I took did have a high probability of success given the price action. Not withstanding 27 years, my interest is in what it does during the next few months. | bracke | |
17/7/2017 17:21 | bracke Let's get this straight, be in no doubt, I value your charts, different way of thinking and insight. Keep up the good work!! P.S. Just read your post above. If you take my advice put your AHT shares in a drawer, and come back in 27 years - worked for me!! lol! P.P.S. Looks like your long is paying off, well done! | ianwwwhite | |
17/7/2017 17:20 | ian I'm only interested in what is causing the ripples as an aid to determining the direction of the next flow. 10% is not a minor retrace, 2%-4% is. Why be concerned with 10%? Because given the good fundamentals it's a large retrace and may be indicative of what is to come. The plus side is that 1540 held and it has just about stuck its nose above the Daily SMA 100. Now we wait to see if it is going to go for 1700. As you post, we agree to disagree and each to their own. | bracke | |
17/7/2017 16:43 | Hi bracke I think that the difference in our views is one of perspective. If I may go back Robert Rheas’s Ripples, Waves and Tides analogy, I think that you are wanting to know what causes the Ripples, I am more interested in which way the Tide is flowing. During the short period that you quote, we have had Trumps ability to deliver his plans questioned, a minor market correction, and an oil price hiccup, all of which have impacted the market to some extent but AHTs business plan remains intact. It is worth bearing in mind, that on 31 Oct 2016 AHT was at 1217p, by Dec 15 it was at 1640p. Subsequently as you know on Jan 2 AHT was at 1592p, reached a high of 1721p in Feb, and closed on Jul 14 at 1581p. So, tell me, why are we concerned at a minor retrace of 10% from a high when AHT has risen 30% since October 2016? It seems we may have to agree to disagree, and I respectfully suggest you make money from AHT your way, and I hope to continue to make money mine! | ianwwwhite |
