Be nice to see it hit £21 today........but I've no doubt put the kiss of death on that happening!.

[discodave4] 12/4/2019 21:34

Hi brackeWhich way now?.......maters happy.

[bracke] 12/4/2019 15:26

I note yesterday's volume was 2 million which for an share price rise of 69.5 pence rise seems low. I suspect off book trades.

[discodave4] 12/4/2019 03:49

IanNo problem.

2flatMy sympathies with regards to your second love.......that's generally the way when they fail to keep their promises and are high maintenance, sorry anyway.Happy to proof read :)

[ianwwwhite] 11/4/2019 17:06

Good afternoon bracke,

Yes, a better day, and URI are currently up 3.1% which might have helped spur things on.

Furthermore, Mater's little investment has got its head above water again, safe at least for the time being...

Disco

IQE the second share I fell in love with, but alas its breaking my heart.
Disco would you proof read for me.
Cheers

Good day ian

As I remember it, it was a frog that got me into hot water in the first place. He looked just like Mr Trump. These days I am a little more wary of that particular amphibian's tweets.


The share price has had a good run up to-day, the bulls came to the rescue. I will be very interested to see what the volume is.

[ianwwwhite] 11/4/2019 15:51

We should have known..... if it has taken seven years to negotiate the exit of one person, Julian Assange from Ecuador's embassy, why are we so surprised that it is taking so long for Britain to leave the EU?

Whilst I'm here, I would like to put a word in for our friends the frogs, who seem to be getting a bad press. I believe it is true to say that but for the intervention of the frogs who bravely put their lives on the line and in danger to warn a certain investor of the perils of getting into hot water, he might not still be posting here today.

Washed up, down the pan, croaked? Who's to say how this sad story might have ended.

Just thought I'd say.... :-)

In the meantime I note that AHT is now 57.5p up at 2030p currently, certainly lightened my mood!

[bracke] 11/4/2019 12:34

LOL!! uppompeii.

She probably does but unfortunately it isn't as developed as much as mine.

[uppompeii] 11/4/2019 12:20

I would suggest that it is your mater that requires the good sense of humour....

[optomistic] 11/4/2019 11:20

:-)) ......

[bracke] 11/4/2019 11:07

Good day optomistic

I take the view that a good sense of humour is a prerequisite for a trader. You only have to look at the US Markets, if you didn't laugh you would cry.

I suppose a good sense of humour is an asset whether you are a trader or not in our current Brexit Less situation.

[optomistic] 11/4/2019 10:55

good morning bracke...LOL I like your humour :-0)

[bracke] 11/4/2019 10:32

My last encounter with an animal on this site (excluding uppompeii) was with a frog and that didn't go too well, so I am somewhat wary of a flatulating duck.


The share price is currently attempting to retake 2000. Failure and a drop below yesterdays low would be unfortunate.
You heard it here first from the boiled frog.

[macarre] 11/4/2019 10:10

Is it confirmed that Q1 results on 17/04/2019?

[discodave4] 11/4/2019 08:50

Hi 2flatEither you have re-edited your post or it's time for me to go to specsavers!

[2flatpack] 10/4/2019 18:32

URI Q1 results on 17/04/19 will be good enough to send AHT sailing.
Remember you heard it here first.
From my friend.
The duck with a fart.
Cheers

The failure to reach 2100 is particularly disappointing because the 'V Bottom' added to the probability that it would. Had it reached 2100 a retrace would have been expected.

My hope is that a successful conclusion to the US/China trade talks will provide impetus to the market, albeit of limited duration, that will be sufficient to take 'precious' to 2100 or maybe a little more.

[bracke] 10/4/2019 17:01

Disco

It did look that it might continue up to 2100 but the market has decided to take a breather. Hopefully it is a temporary lull in proceedings before normal service is resumed.

The chart suggests first support at 1960. Second support at 1890/1870.
