Pressed by mistake, lol

You're not going to believe this but he's just tweeted "that guy Montyhedge, the No.1 Trader!"

Trouble with trumps tweets on tariffs is that the market takes fright and BT goes down with it . As we have seen already

toon. Personally I am guilty more than most for giving a mindless daily commentary.
But I took my investment here last month with a view to hold for a few years.
I would say a fair amount of time to look at progress is really quarterly.
Micro movements during the days are not part of my bigger picture (but I will still keep on about them - doh!)
Let's see what the share price is like in August, November, Feb & May (over the next 12 months).

So why has the BT share price fallen over the last two days Monty?

It will get there, with talk of sanctions and tariffs, sterling U.K. domestic earners is the place to be. Once rotation starts up goes BT. Just need Trump to tweet more about tariffs.

[toon1966] 26/6/2018 14:44

Just keep looking out for Trumps tweets, they always seem to get the market 'going'! He's been giving HD a right bashing today.

220p would be great but not plain sailing as you can see in a somewhat positive market today

[hamhamham1] 26/6/2018 13:47

So what do you do when interest rates are near zero in Japan?
Well you borrow some yen there and invest it abroad (a carry trade) in foreign currency bonds or equities.
That works great for a while but when you have to repay it back in yen and the currency of the country you have invested in goes weak against a strengthening yen (and your investment value also goes down), then you are in trouble.
Oh, look the yen is getting stronger as its a safe haven and foreign asset values are going down as well (They could be bonds or equities?).

Sit back and watch it unfold.

BT will be over the psychological level of 220p this week, bear stop losses would kick in and spike to 225p this week, in my opinion.I reckon new trading will be 235p - 240p coming weeks.

I am 45% cash.
trying to resist the temptation.
I can see lots of good value out there.
but I decided last week to keep my powder dry and wait for the long awaited pull back, as advertised.

[hamhamham1] 26/6/2018 10:52

Careful. I have plenty of BT shares, average of 217p. I have no need to buy any more.
I will hold for 5 years + probably.
But I still will keep 80% in cash as well.
Lets see what the next few years bring.

[careful] 26/6/2018 10:46

hamham

you say you are happy to be in cash only because you think there'll be a correction.
cash really sucks when asset prices rise.

PS: look at Centrica even after exdivi gone up steadily in this market. So Get Divi in the bank.

[montyhedge] 26/6/2018 10:43

235p before ex div in August is my view.

[montyhedge] 26/6/2018 10:42

Directors know the company better than all us investors we have our views of course but two directors have spent nearly one million pounds buying shares. CFO 250,000 pounds worth at 213p, chairman 500,000 pounds worth at 255p and another 250,000 at 204p.To me that's like a bell ringing and saying everything looks ok.10.55p ex div August. I could not go short st this level.

p.s.
I knew of someone, a man of poor judgement, who read that house prices were about to collapse around the year. 2000.
He sold his nice house and moved into a rented property.
He waited and waited, in the end as time past, QE was invented interest rates collapsed, house prices soared.
He could not even dream of buying back his old property, it would be far too expensive.

[hamhamham1] 26/6/2018 10:41

I am happy to be cash in the bank, a bit of divi income and be agile to react to any situation or opportunity. Each to their own I guess.

Let Mr Trump play His Trump card and hope that we get better bargains in returns.

Fear is the key as said by writer Alistair MacLean and buy when people are fearful as said by Warren Buffet.

Would not want to be out of the market and holding most of my funds in cash yes we know a drop in the market is due maybe 2022 before this happens. Why not buy some insurance xuks for example and keep 80% invested .
