Article seems to say that for all the small caps with debt , beware winter is coming.....

I would rather we just got rid of AHT debt.....

Good day ian

It's operating in a 1850-1900 range. I can't help but think it's being day traded.

"In the meantime gaps? Too many to mention.. is there such a thing as a stale gap?"
==================================================================================

The upside gaps are filled apart from todays. The downside gaps remain unfilled but I would not refer to them as 'stale'. They remain common gaps until the share price breaks above 1900 preferably with a good slug of volume.

Down 50, Up 50, Down 50, Up 50 etc, etc.

Who's messing with 'precious'?

[ianwwwhite] 16/1/2019 18:20

Thanks bracke, fair point

[bracke] 16/1/2019 18:15

It's only 6.5 p a share and the possibility is that the share price will drop by a similar amount. Take the money and run.

EssentialInvestor

Congratulations on your profit, but did you miss out on the dividend - AHT goes ex-div tomorrow?

[essentialinvestor] 16/1/2019 17:15

Sold out before the close.
£3 a share gain over a few weeks, good luck to those holding.

[bracke] 16/1/2019 17:13

Whether it will stay priced in is another matter. It depends on the final Brexit outcome.

AHT following the DOW.

[uppompeii] 16/1/2019 17:06

I guess it's all so well telegraphed that it's priced in. Even Aviva had a very good day...

[bracke] 16/1/2019 16:58

Good day uppompeii

Indeed it is. Perverse but the market can 'reason it'........for now.

It's not the first time the market has reacted to news/event totally opposite to that expected.

It illustrates the risk of front running news in anticipation to the market reaction. I learned that lesson many years ago.

[ianwwwhite] 16/1/2019 16:57

Closed at a new recent high, 1908p (+13p), with substantial volume around 2.9 mill, after a sticky start, an encouraging performance today IMHO.

[uppompeii] 16/1/2019 16:47

£/$ is up on the month even after yesterday bracke...

[mfhmfh] 16/1/2019 16:29

can it hold above 1,900?

[broadwood] 16/1/2019 09:17

Ex div tomorrow. URI full year results on the horizon.

[mfhmfh] 16/1/2019 09:06

update from SOM today suggests US construction is strong.

[bracke] 15/1/2019 10:59

Good day fenners

I totally agree. They are democratic only when it suits them. They sicken me!!

[fenners66] 15/1/2019 09:30

Turned Bloomberg off this morning - the whole day listening to anti-democratic politicians saying that since 300 of them do not want any Brexit deal then 17m people must be wrong winds me up.

[discodave4] 14/1/2019 19:20

25 comes after 20!Read an article on the Hargreaves Landsdown website which was on probabilities and opinion polls etc. What struck me was the chances of a no deal tomorrow and leave vote in July 2016 were the same - and we all know what happened!.

[bracke] 14/1/2019 10:59

But what about £25?

Another gap this morning.

EDIT

If as seems likely 'The Deal' vote is lost tomorrow the £ is likely to plunge. A low £ against the $ should be positive for the share price so the probability is for a spike at least.

[discodave4] 13/1/2019 17:44

"If the DOW continues the rise then £20."No comment! :)

[lairddavid] 13/1/2019 14:34

Thanks for your thoughts Bracke.

[lairddavid] 12/1/2019 12:09

But will it go back to £17 to fill the gaps first?
