Luderitz Thankyou for this I mught very well try Barclays

Miss Womble, Ive been using Barclays for about 10 years now having tried most of the others, I find them very good on limit orders and everything else.

As far as dealing when we want them to I think that can be a common thing to most brokers if they just can't get stock, that's why setting a limit order can be the next best option.

[suetballs] 11/2/2021 17:45

OK - but I don't use stop losses for that very reason.

Suet balls. They often can’t or won’t deal when you want them to and often deal above the instructed Loss limit when the price will is climbing

I quite like IG Markets as you can place trades into the order book.

Throgmorton backs Avon Rubber after contract delay

Disappointment over a US body armour contract has not dampened BlackRock Throgmorton (THRG)’s enthusiasm for Avon Rubber (AVON), the specialist engineer of respiratory protection equipment for the military, law enforcement and firefighters.

In a portfolio update, Dan Whitestone, manager of the £679m investment trust, said the company was the biggest detractor from returns in December.

‘The shares fell on the disappointing news that some US army body armour contracts would not be signed as quickly as anticipated, which will therefore result in revenues being delayed,’ he said.

Whitestone said the delay was ‘disappointing’ but he that still believed in the ‘long-term attractions of the business and recent steps taken to increase its focus on the protection business’.

Shares in Avon Rubber closed up 0.8%, or 25p, at £31.25 yesterday.

I think you can disregard that high print. The bid/ offer spread was so wide at the time and some idiot probably sent a buy at market order down. There is a consistent seller in this every day now. You can see on the closing auction someone places blocks of 15k/ 25k to sell with a limit. This is incredibly frustrating as the guy is not letting the stock breathe. It has been trying to go higher. The recent trading update seems to show a steadying of the ship after the order delays and at current prices it seems good value to me.

No I tried to sell when I saw it but but just a couple of buys at
£33 sell price was still £31 pity I could use the cash elsewhere and come back later.

[gseppi] 02/2/2021 09:01

Did I just imagine what just happened 8% up 15 minutes ago now it’s .5% down.

[mwaters74] 29/1/2021 13:04

Time to pick up more shares.

[w1lbur01] 29/1/2021 07:39

Sounds confident of meeting guidance should put a floor under price although no figures to digest

[suetballs] 28/1/2021 20:52

AGM tomorrow.

Two companies covered Tracis and Avon.
Beddard now not convinced about Avon's potential as a long term investment!

I bought in recently but my enthusiasm for Avon has certainly taken a knock.

Hi. What concerns you regarding management?Looks tempting at this level, watching for now!

[volvo] 26/1/2021 15:53

edward just pottering about, see some value here, but not totally convinced by the management, still watching for now

[edwardt] 23/1/2021 07:00

Volvo - good to see you here too! Albeit blink and I missed you!

[volvo] 20/1/2021 15:25

Could it be the old adage that profit warnings come in threes.

Obviously a good company, but even after the recent falls its highly rated.

Time will tell

[luderitz] 08/1/2021 11:36

Yes I agree with much of what you say 👍🏼

[volvo] 08/1/2021 09:44

Taken my 17pc today, and will look to re-enter when the price is right or there is more clarity re the profit warning. Looking strong though atm.

VOLVO 22 Dec '20 - 15:55 - 99 of 104 Edit

Bought a chunk yesterday at end of play for a ride straight back to 3500p.....nice to see the directors buying today, should rebound pretty quick.

[podgyted] 07/1/2021 22:41

Recovering slowly ATM - which I like to see.

If all the bad news is out of the way this could re-rate quite quickly on future news.

[suetballs] 04/1/2021 13:44

Shame we're not taking part in today's rally but confidence is somewhat battered atm.
Our time will come!
