Good day perfido

When you click on the link does it open the AHT chart?

"but unless my eyes deceive me it doesn't let the viewer select AHT, unless you sign in?"
================================================================================

I don't understand?

Hi bracke

The chart now opens perfectly, but unless my eyes deceive me it doesn't let the viewer select AHT, unless you sign in?

Very pretty chart though :-)

Try this perfido

Link removed.

Bracke

Don't worry if posting the graph link can't be accomplished easily, I think your description adequately covers the price action - thanks

[bracke] 29/12/2020 17:59

Volume today - 488,269 which suggests it was not a breakaway gap. Neither does it appear to justify the early price rise. Games (profitable) being played.

Good day perfido

My apologies. I thought I had found a way of displaying my chart direct from Tradingview but it appears not. I will try to correct the situation but I don't hold out much hope. In the meantime I will remove the link.

Good evening bracke

Unfortunately the chart you have posted fails to open with the message:

The link below is the Daily chart. It shows the share price moving up a rising wedge during which the share price has touched the upper and lower trendlines a few times. If the pattern is to be repeated the share price will drop back to approx 3350.

EDIT

If the chart is not showing the Daily, change the timeframe at top left next to 'AHT'.

Apologies the link does not work.

Well done fenners! There's no pulling the wool over your eyes.

[bracke] 29/12/2020 10:41

3500 and as I type an 84 point gap but what type?

[uppompeii] 29/12/2020 09:24

Wonder if Hatto ever looks in?

[fenners66] 24/12/2020 19:19

And sterling falls vs the $ as well....

Happy Xmas all and a prosperous New Year.

Boris delivers brexit:

[riley109] 24/12/2020 16:35

Happy Brexmas everybody.

[bracke] 24/12/2020 12:26

Certainly never considered you a "squiggly line" perfido, perish the thought!

Happy Christmas to you and all AHT'ers.

Good morning bracke,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One month is a short time frame etc
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gosh, you don't think I would buy or sell on the basis of a few squiggly lines on a chart? I'm more a long 'fundamentals' sort of investor..

I was merely seeking to make the point that in my view AHT is likely to have been influenced by the most recent fluctuations of the Sterling exchange rate rather than US monetary policy (see post 58435). I accept others may have a different view, time will tell.

I have now reduced my AHT holding over time to an acceptable level of risk for the time being, so another masterly period of inaction is now appropriate. The AHT sale proceeds are not idle however, just redeployed elsewhere in managed funds with good managers and an acceptable balance of risk/reward.

Seasons greetings to you and all the other posters and lurkers on the AHT board :-)

Good day perfido

One month is a short timeframe for a buy and hold investor such as yourself. Let's see where they are in comparison to AHT in the spring.

Yesterday was a tight trading range so fair to think there was some profit taking. It will be interesting to see if as much effort goes into holding 3400 as went into holding 3300.

[bracke] 23/12/2020 16:18

As I posted....laughing all the way to the bank!

[perfido] 23/12/2020 14:52

Good day bracke

Thank you for your 'mean average' explanation. For readers of this board would it not be helpful to quote the period and number of shares concerned in arriving at the 'mean' calculation otherwise it seems pretty meaningless.

If you think that the only thing propelling AHT ever upwards is the Fed etc, why do you think that our competitor URI is on a downward slope - similar business etc?

Finally I applaud fenners success with his AHT investment, but it is worth noting he is not alone in enjoying this as other posters have intimated in the past.

Truly an investment of a lifetime for a number of long term holders, particularly those that have sheltered their gains in an ISA wrapper..
