Interim figures tomorrow anything less than £408mll pre tax
will be disappointing, but 2019 a difficult year for house builders in general.

anyone know why ADVFN show dividend as NIL this year ?

[arja] 22/1/2020 09:29

quite a pullback after early rise and glad I got out at 822 but tempted to re-enter
again ! All triggered by BKG news I guess .

[arja] 15/12/2019 22:34

more in I think looking at chart .

Holy cow! Stopped out of short... Now reopened 751

After this initial euphoria the housing market is in trouble

Tory now have to figure out how to balance the books but with £2 trillion debt up from £1 trillion in 2010..something has to give

Bercows decision this afternoon could be crucial.

now left the building with Brexit volatility directing share price...

[killman2] 15/10/2019 16:45

divi plus Brexit bounce...made my week so far...

[shauney2] 15/10/2019 16:41

I must say i'm a bit jealous.Sold out too early also missed the divi but well done to holders

[salver2] 15/10/2019 15:48

There’s a horrible smell of burnt taffee and a Porsche leaking diesel - these two must be the biggest no nothing’s in history -

[salver2] 15/10/2019 09:57

How’s the shorting going?

[taffee] 13/10/2019 05:35

The only point of being short is to close the trade when it's profitable.. I've done this many many times and sometimes closed at a loss but overall won more than lost

It's a trading strategy... Alternatively you can buy and hold

Please cut out the name calling there's room for all views and strategy

[salver2] 12/10/2019 19:20

You’ve never not been short your either a genius or a liar- if you’ve been shorting this as long as you have I suspect the latter!

[taffee] 12/10/2019 10:52

Well I wasn't short at ex dividend as you should close beforehand otherwise you pay a dividend adjustment

I am short now though for the record

[vatteton] 12/10/2019 06:12

taffee,

if your short at ex you pay the divi..

[taffee] 12/10/2019 06:08

Shares go up and down all the time.. Sometimes you are right sometimes wrong

I've traded Barratt a lot and banked lots of profit mainly shorting the rises.. Like now

No doubt builders profits still look good and its a surprise but the underlying trend in housing market doesn't look good

There is also a good chance of credit crunch 2 if you follow the news.. I own no shares now... Get prepared

[vatteton] 11/10/2019 18:46

I have always been a believer that a stock going ex will fall the amount
of the dividend.
Having said that and taken the divi fall pleased to buy in again last evening
and reap the increase today..
A good day at the office..

Porsche and taffeee have been consistently wrong since this was about a pound a share way back when - I have never seen a duo so badly wrong - with his investment advice he should be renamed Lada!

Yes, Boris is bidding for UK! ;-)
All house builders up similar amount. :-)

[khitchen] 11/10/2019 14:59

is a bid on the cards considering the rise today, any thoughts fellas

[hawaly] 11/10/2019 14:58

Optimism that there may well be a deal with the EU

Less chance of an economically damaging no deal BREXIT

Less chance of an election

Less chance of a comrade Corbyn government

In short, potentially less uncertainty

NB. Of course this is all predicated on no one upsetting the apple cart on this weekend's TV.

[squintyflinty1] 11/10/2019 14:23

Why has the share price shot up today?
