p0pper

Elliot wave, we are currently in the second leg of a minor 3 leg up. This second leg will drop to 2670 before rising to the downward trend line at 3350. The final leg of the major 5 leg downward pattern then starts eventually reaching a low of around 2150, when the pattern is complete. The final leg will be of similar magnitute to legs 1 and 3 which you can see in the chart now, Leg one started in Jan 18.

Realistically, which gap is getting filled first here... the little one below, or the large one above?

Evening Cheeky, I can see that I just wondered why he said that. Is he a wind up merchant? Only been in BATS for a very short while.

TTID is back, RSI and Stochastic pushing the roof off - can only mean going down!

studies, litigations, ban threats, speculations, reports are not hard data. The hard data is NUMBERS.

[micha14] 01/2/2019 22:28

@wbecki- the thing with these studies is that they are just that, studies! its like the WHO making reports, and then it turns out they are only monitoring 39pc of world wide smokers, and even that data is unreliable. The only thing reliable here is the ANNUAL NUMBERS

[micha14] 01/2/2019 22:26

Piper Jaffray may have just changed the sentiment with their whole "5-10 years to impact earnings if the ban goes through". Rubbing the hands in the anticipation of 9.3bln FCF in 2018...
One more thing- this is an institutional stock, the institutional royals are often on PE of 20+ which shows the potential... Where it ends 2019 is anybodys guess, but 40£ is being conservative and realistic

BATS behaving less and less like the dog it was. £30 closing in soon. Will finish the year at £40 I believe.

Good week 👍

Study shows e-cigs better than nicotine replacement products for quitting the habit

A study just published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated that tobacco smokers desiring to quit who switched to e-cigarettes experienced a higher one-year abstinence rate compared to those who used nicotine-replacement products when both were accompanied by behavioral support.



Cold turkey a far better method. Needs strong will power though.

What an incredible run this week. I believe up 12%. Still a long way to go for me though.

[micha14] 01/2/2019 00:48

"History has shown that in every age and in every field of human knowledge, many of the views which almost everyone accepted as true and never bothered to think about further, were in time proven completely wrong"

Can it apply to "reduction in tobacco industry". I believe it may, due to population growth and rising middle class in developing markets. They d prefer a lack of Camels rather then self made bamboo pipe

Bat have invested in vape. They knew this 8 years ago. The question is have they capitalized on this.

[philanderer] 31/1/2019 20:41

The Wall Street Journal @WSJ

9 minutes ago

Marlboro maker Altria said it sees U.S. cigarette sales falling even faster than it had expected, validating the company's recent $12.8 billion investment in vaping startup Juul

Give over. £45

[cryptotrade] 31/1/2019 18:58

8% yield ?

[barbar7619] 31/1/2019 14:11

2395 does look good now!!!

[andrewbaker] 31/1/2019 13:57

When the US opens, we could even get back over £27! :) 'Smoking' is the best way to describe what BATS will do this year, IMHO.

[philanderer] 31/1/2019 13:49

Nice pickup from midday :-)

[micha14] 31/1/2019 13:34

Yep, some serious buying happening in the UK today, can yesterdays comments from Piper Jeffrey swing the pendulum the other way? I believe its possible, especially when BAT posts a 9.3bln£ free cash flow in March. 9.3bln£, the Nayers will wake up and smoke a piece of New port, New it ll be for them when the patient holders would ve caught the Lucky Strike.

[andrewbaker] 31/1/2019 11:35

Whatever the arguments about tobacco businesses, BATS is here for the long term and will make money. At an 8% covered yield, paid quarterly, anyone with cash or income needs should consider this for a chunk of such funds. As I boringly say each time I blog, I already am so loaded up on this that anymore would be excessive: yet I still buy a few more now and then. I can't resist it: I'm hooked on their tobacco and I don't smoke! lol. 😂

"Research suggests that the health risks of “vaping” are much lower than for traditional cigarettes – meaning, in essence, that smokers can feed their addiction more safely"

Long term risks are not known. Maybe, maybe not.
