The EU are not going to give us a fair deal. Better to leave, apply WTO tariffs (German car makers will not like that), and our exporters take advantage of a low £.

The idea that we will be able to 'cherry pick' is a non starter.

Leave in March, cease payment and make a clean a break as possible.

Boris resigns, £ drops, FTSE rises and also AHT.

Did consider a short after doing okay with one at MTC but have no position, intrigued to see how it pans out though and good for improving my personal learning.DD

Isn't that what BHS was sold for!

The pension problem does not appear as bad as BHS. See link

Good day Disco

Tut, tut....Have you been 'dissing' a share and as for shorting it I trust you have not gone that far!!

I had a look at the DEB chart, very sickly. The share price peaked at the end of 2012 and it's been downhill since then apart from a couple of attempts to pull up. Last time it got near to 100 was May 2015 when it reached 97.

As for 100 by Christmas not unless a bidder emerges which is unlikely.

Now 'our beloved'

SP off to have another go at 2300 which means the gap I mentioned last week is filled. Will it break above 2300?

Another one who's lost the plot....!

Be in no doubt, your contributions are valued here.

In the meantime, AHT is looking a bit more perky this morning..

[discodave4] 09/7/2018 08:56

Morning Ian and thanks.The guy has posted the same on every board I've posted including those I'm invested in......all because he holds DEB and thinks it will be a £1 by year end, whereas I completely disagree! (10p if you're lucky!).DD

The share price is 'attracted' to 2200 once again.

Attempts to take it down being resisted at 2200. So far the line has held. One can take the view that it has held the line several times and bears will give up the struggle or it's only a matter of time before the bears win.

If bears win where will it go? High probability of 2100. I note URI has dropped to its SMA 200. If AHT followed suit it would be 2055. Finally an outside chance of 1890 which was a previous strong support zone but it would take serious negative news/event to go there.

[bracke] 02/7/2018 10:19

It didn't like 2200 and it doesn't like 2300. It's will have to make its mind up eventually.

There was a gap up on Friday from 2228 which has nearly filled this morning but it has gaped down to-day from 2288. There are approx 40 points on offer if you fancy trading/investing a gap fill.

Good day bracke,

Me neither, I was expecting an RNS or something, but nothing. We could speculate further, but we are not that sort of thread, are we? :-)

[bracke] 29/6/2018 10:19

Good day ian

I can't find any news related to AHT. The £ has risen against the $ but that would surely lower the share price so I am at a loss to understand the price action......but of course that's not new.

[ianwwwhite] 29/6/2018 08:53

After a lacklustre week,

08.52: AHT 2297p, +69p (+3%)......

What's up???

[bracke] 28/6/2018 14:09

Back to 2200. Fatal Attraction.

[ianwwwhite] 27/6/2018 19:27

Fenners/bracke,

Lol!

[bracke] 27/6/2018 13:38

Can't see anything about horticulture in his cv.

[fenners66] 27/6/2018 13:30

But does he know his onions ?

[ianwwwhite] 27/6/2018 11:05

Looks like this might account for the short lived bounce yesterday:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brokers market summary: Equipment rental firm Ashtead also pushed up after saying it has hired former Sage Group chief executive Paul Walker to succeed Chris Cole as chairman.
(see also RNS 26/06/18 above)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AHT is looking a bit more frisky today but I doubt we are out of the woods yet.....

[bracke] 26/6/2018 09:39

Good day ian

It depends how 'insistent' Mr Trump is going to be and the reaction from countries affected. If Mr Trump continues (10% on EU cars) and EU reacts it could easily develop into something nasty which won't blow over fast.

In the meantime the share price did retest 2200 and took off like a scalded cat.

We await events.

[ianwwwhite] 25/6/2018 18:26

Thanks bracke

Looks like the markets are suffering a general malaise at present, largely due to trade war fears it seems, so AHT is not alone.

May take some time to blow over me thinks...
