Good day demo

Some of us would prefer to not know that.

[demo trader] 05/6/2023 12:55

Somebody who invested just £1,000 in Ashtead back in June 2003 would have £456,330 today with dividends reinvested, according to online investment platform AJ Bell.

The share price is being held at the resistance zone. It requires a 'slug' of volume to push it through.


AHT DAILY

For the record on 31st May the UT was down as a buy at 16:40 and 3.1m @ £49.From the daily volume I'm assuming the UT is included as part of the daily volume? (seems odd to me that book balancing is regarded as real trade volume but wtfdik - every day is a day for learning!).

[fenners66] 04/6/2023 17:53

"our alert" - sounds like a bot...

[disc0dave45] 04/6/2023 16:31

Curious, What day was the UT £153m?Never take much notice of MM's balancing their books as not real trades, so I understand, so the UT is fairly meaningless and doesn't follow that some II is buying large scale.

[servicewash] 04/6/2023 16:20

dd. our alert picked up that the closing auction took 10 mins instead of 5 and the size of the uncrossing trade was £153m and the closing price was 1.8% above the last traded price before the auction, this was a powerful signal that there's accumulation in size going on. as far as I'm aware that's the largest volume day in the last 12 months by quite a considerable margin - other large vol days 16/12/22 & 03/01/23

[disc0dave45] 04/6/2023 15:07

"accumulation in size"Can you expand on that. Apart from the 31st May (vol 4.8m) volumes have been at or below its 3 month average (1.1m).

[servicewash] 04/6/2023 14:30

disc0dave45 haven't been digging into the fundamentals to any kind of granular degree, mostly been monitoring the technicals in the past few weeks, definitely seeing strong signs of accumulation in size, may see a notification to confirm this in the coming days/weeks.

This kind of behaviour makes me feel fairly confident that the results will be pretty decent 🤞

[disc0dave45] 04/6/2023 13:50

SWSimply Wall St insightful!....pmslWhat's your view on the upcoming finals?, in terms of fundamentals and why?Same goes for the other new poster.Cheers

[vinyl richie] 04/6/2023 13:10

fenners66 like your work! probably AI bots trying to pump up the price of a rentals behemouth that's 86% owned by major institutions 😉. long or short on aht? as cynical about the growth here and adding value as you are on new posters sharing information?

I'd seriously doubt that the sum total of all the investors who look to these boards for any kind of positive/negative inference make up less than 1% of the total share cap, wouldn't you agree? happy to be proved wrong if you don't

[fenners66] 04/6/2023 12:41

Funny how I suspected those 2 posters would not have many previous posts between them ....

Sum total of all their posts to date ?

Count them above ..... 3

[vinyl richie] 04/6/2023 12:29

thanks servicewash for the update. Reckon aht is on the cusp of blowing the doors off with the next wave of news & positive sentiment from the US business.
Not a lot of focus on the rest of their business. If they're doing half decently there also, all bets will be off 🚀🚀

another insightful piece:

The stellar rise in construction spending figs out of the US on Thurs was likely one of the major drivers of the uptick at the end of the week assisted by positive market sentiment.
All the clues are pointing to Sunbelt's next set of figures as being pretty damn impressive. The spike in volume moving the price sharply upwards in Thursday's closing auction signalled large buys likely from some big hitters ahead of the next news cycle imo.

Yes, not so bad thanks. But still have the what if conversation with myself every so often.

[disc0dave45] 02/6/2023 18:53

URI and CAT are flying......wasn't construction the sector that employed more in May?.Wouldn't think it's a delayed reaction to the debt ceiling as Biden has said it won't mean any new spending but just paying off existing debt.

[bracke] 02/6/2023 18:51

Target achieved gap at 5104 filled.

It has closed at a strong resistance zone.

Fair point about your island!.Yeah NFP 339k but unemployment at 7 month high of 3.7%.....ying and yang!Looks like unemployment trumps NFP for the moment anyway. Reckon Mr Powell will flick a coin now lol.

[bracke] 02/6/2023 14:23

Good day disc0

Private islands in the Caribbean viewed with suspicion as a result or Epstein.

NFP comes in way over expectation but the Futures are unperturbed....so far.
