I have listened to it too. My average is 6.74 but will add more at below that soon!

[woodhawk] 07/2/2018 17:33

Thanks, I'll do that.

I hope you're well-rewarded for your faith, Minerve! I've topped up twice this week, so my average is now only a few pence north of here. The 'fear' factor seems almost hysterical. I only sold a month ago at 720p, now bought back almost 15% cheaper. It's ridiculous.

[minerve] 07/2/2018 17:20

I increased my holding here by 50% today.

[yump] 07/2/2018 17:16

Volume is certainly significant.

Meanwhile the share price has declined circa 45% over the past 18 months?

567 point rise on the Dow last night and usual pathetic response here in the UK.

I think it was a positive statement- the market was just looking for bad news - revenue was forecast down a bit but still increasing - but margins were up a bit. A good result is still on the cards.

Thanks for that Alan. Think I'll be in for some more tomorrow. Dow up 567 points at close!!

[woodhawk] 06/2/2018 08:11

Added some more at 613p. Absurd.

Looking well timed now :-)

Another confirmation of meeting forecasts and an optimistic outlook statement.
All on a p/e almost half what it was a few years ago.

Fits in a SIPP nicely.

Here come the idiots...

[topdoc] 05/2/2018 21:44

Short interest now above 6%
Down 10% at least tomorrow ???

[woodhawk] 05/2/2018 21:42

Might turn out to be a bloody good day for buying though! Already at a 6 year low. Ludicrous.

[smcni1968] 05/2/2018 21:26

Good luck for tomorrow BAB!

Lets face it, every fear in the book will appear as a result of Carillion and Capita, plus a bit of Brexit, plus a bit of Labour getting in and getting rid of the military etc. etc.

At some point that will all finish, so with many shares in this sector, that will purely be a matter of judging when sentiment changes - or when investors are not taking any more notice of the worries.

Much easier to voice 'worries' of any kind that will seem credible when a share price is already low anyway.

Pick any spike and look for worries. There are none.

It is quite interesting to see how people think and argue their case. I prefer to take an 'empirical' approach. There is also the small matter of the market which as we know, has its own agenda. Today's move is interesting but the close will tell us if £6 is still on the table and with good reason.

PS- Market aside, I have a feeling Benjamin Graham might just be sitting on his hands for now.

Classic UK sheep behaviour now in the market. Go around in circles while the Dow flies up and then panic when it comes down a bit.

Never mind we'll soon have dynamic new political leaders to make us feel good again and make the UK great again. Er, well they'll have to be born and go into politics first... that could take a while.

Gap filled at 661.5p. ;)
