If everyone filtered him they wouldn't have to worry about his views shutittrev. We also wouldn't be having replies to the person such as I have just made. Just clutters the board. Mind you I suppose without taffee it might be pretty dead around here LOL!

Let's see how things pan out...apologise for having an opinion(which may prove to be right)..don't think that's what discussion boards are for.Let's face it the
Housing market is in a huge bubble propped by near zero rates and help to buy..the
National debt is 1.5 trillion...and we still have a huge deficit...things are not
Good out there...these are facts...if things do go pear shaped I would never ask bulls to apologise for having an opinion..

Taffee, I couldn't agree more about taking a profit.....however you have been trying to convince this bb since the 3 pound mark that the wheels would come off Barrett and the housing market in general. You have got this seriously wrong and you would have cost people on here serious profit......again I ask the question,.....how does this make you feel?.....would you be big enough to say you got it wrong and apologise?

[taffee] 21/3/2015 06:38

This is a discussion board for all opinions...it's never wrong to take a profit
And also you don't know how things will.pan out...people make their own decisions
On when to buy or sell...hindsight is easy on the stock market..you only need take a look at long
Term Barratt chart to see shares dont just go up.barratt mkt cap 25% higher than last peak should
At least make investors take a step back and look.at risk...rates are near zero for a reason

[taffee] 20/3/2015 17:03

Thanks for the heads up..friend...I will be sure to tune in

BWY interims Weds taffee - that will boost the sector imo.

No idea what you mean....my investment strategy is always to bank profits otherwise
It's only paper money...if I was up 5 fold.on something I wouldn't be waiting for
8 x as at 5 x it would be job done..I like to buy low and sell high but you cannot
Get the bottom or the top

Bulls here are up considerably and say they are chasing yield yet don't sell?

For the record I believe now is the time to sell.shares and investment property not
Buy or own either..over the decades I've found private investors tend to pile
In when stocks are high and sell when they fall and so get shafted...selling after
A long in the tooth bull market would seem.prudent

The Guardian is a notoriously left-wing paper. They look to appeal to their Labour supporting readership. It is an article with only political motives as its credentials.

One day there will be enough houses and the price may well decline. But in the absence of a shortage of demand that day is not soon. As we do not build anything like enough houses, any reduction in price may well be met with an increase in demand. Price per unit may fall, but volume should rise. In any event, one can expect that the price of housebuilder shares will get ahead of itself at some point and take a rest. Then some may choose to sell and wait for a lower entry.

I am puzzled by your investing strategy taffee. How does an investing philosophy which appears to be based on the idea that an investment is only worthwhile if you never ever have to sell it actually work for you?

[cockneyrebel] 20/3/2015 09:15

Look, you've obviously missed BDEV and don't want to buy on a high taffee so take a look at RDW instead imo.

RDW trading update in April, single digit PE, building in the hot South East region and the chart well off the recent highs. Just turning up here on volume - might look like value even to you :-)

All imo

Market is unsustainable

[taffee] 19/3/2015 09:15

How sustainable are the earnings?...near zero rates fls help to buy.... by far highest prices to wages......huge cuts to come after election....etc etc

[1gw] 19/3/2015 09:02

What's the relevance of market cap taffee? A lot of the competition disappeared in the last downturn didn't it? So presumably those that have survived can expand to fill the space. How are we doing on p/e compared to the last peak?

[taffee] 19/3/2015 08:57

Theres no where for this to go but down...market cap is 25% higher than last bubble

Crest Nicholson produces the goods on the spring selling season. This morning's IMS from them starts:

"The Board is pleased to report that the strong start to the Spring selling season, reported upon when the Preliminary Results of the company were announced in January, has continued over the last six weeks..."

crbema - Took that action months ago but doesn't do much good as all you see are replies to blank posts since others have not filtered him/her. If everyone filtered taffee perhaps I wouldn't think something exciting has happened like today when I logged on to see more than 10 posts in one day here which is quite rare!

[crbema] 18/3/2015 22:38

Taffee filtered I can't take anymore.

[taffee] 18/3/2015 18:49

Does that replace buy low sell high which has worked since time began!..sure!

[priteshpatel9] 18/3/2015 18:13

New law of successful investing: "Buy when taffee is fearful. Sell when taffee is greedy"

[cockneyrebel] 18/3/2015 18:08

As a bull perhaps we understand the market better than a bear taffee.

How do you know what my positions have been or if I have any open?...as a bull
I would question why you don't bank the money...nothing is a one way bet

[fozzie] 18/3/2015 17:21

taffee you must have lost thousands by being short here, give it a rest will you.

[taffee] 18/3/2015 17:15

Plenty of hedge funds with their eye on builders and the property market with a track record of making good calls...there is no recovery and property is simply
Propped up by unsustainable economic lunacy.

[cockneyrebel] 18/3/2015 17:00

taffee - when will you give in? When they nail your lid on?

The spring selling season is only starting and there's expectation that the lost sales ahead of the election materialise after the election.

Why would anyone short that and fight a chart like this - other than you?

Add the divi back and these are up 30% in two months - while youv'e been short - up over 60% since August, while you've been short.
