Holly,

I am personally not concerned re the link I posted here. Please see my post on the PVR bb in answer to Steelwatch's comments on the same link I posted there.

ATB,

I understand the sell off, but why has this been dropped such a large % in comparison with other stocks ?

[paleje] 06/2/2018 12:29

Bet Schroders wish they'd waited, still good time to add a few more if they're still building.

12bn - I notice you are happy to call another poster a simpleton merely for asking questions about market operation but don't seem to appreciate the gravity of urging readers to sell at 2p some weeks ago whilst boasting you don't research CERP!

There you go GD, another classic in that link you posted:

"The sell-off began last week after data in the US showed stronger wage growth, which raised expectations that US interest rates might start to rise more quickly to tackle inflation."

Only a while back, rising interest rates was seen by analysts as a great news and the market took off!

Is it just a blip or doom an gloom again. I have no idea on where the markets are going......

Just based on the market (indices) trend lines offerman, I thinks we not far off back to stable/slow growth channel. The froth is nearly blown over! I expect a fair amount of volatility for a couple of days yet until all the books are balanced and some are sent licking their wounds, whilst others pop Champagne corks!!

[12bn] 06/2/2018 10:20

Someone should cut n paste my post above onto the rampers only thread as offerman is still confused and nobody on there has bothered to explain it to the simpleton.///////////offerman6 Feb '18 - 10:16 - 3302 of 3302

Morning Holly

Another class post as always.

I, like yourself, have been watching the markets over the years and Bloomberg is just exactly as you stated bringing on certain analysts just to boost sentiment that they wanted to go in at that moment in time without going back to the same person.

And also what you say about the markets not following it other I’ve also noticed a change in that over the years as well. Only very rarely would a market buck the trend say the down all the FTSE reacting to the Dow but back then that would only ever be changed if positive news came from America after hours which would reduce the FTSE is losses knowing that the data was going to shoot up in the afternoon but on the whole exactly as you said the markets used to follow each other like clockwork but now not so much.

I would still be interested though to know exactly what moves the share prices up and down on other threads before people would just say boys versus sales but I would dispute that say on the volume days share prices could swing wildly

[holly day] 06/2/2018 10:13

rossannan, if you have all your trading pot in TXP + TRIN, no point moving across as those too have reacted to the sentiment!

[holly day] 06/2/2018 10:10

Here's hoping Schroders will average down.

[holly day] 06/2/2018 10:06

As ccr1958 says, pure sentiment driving the market. I accept what you say offerman about sentiment not working in our favour in a rising market. The casino (house) always wins. I have been watching the market for a very very long time and of late, the records are being broken globally with no real explanation. The normal man on the street hasn't really seen any benefits in his pocket, despite the experts saying the world economy is improving.... just ask the small businesses.

I also find it funny that each day Bloomberg & Co cite a different fund manager to back up the market swings. I'd love some consistency where they go back to the same bloke who was only a few day ago was saying the bull run has some way to go, but now cite a different guru to say it is a well overdue correction!.

FWIW, IMO, the high speed trading (HST) driven by computerised algorithms v the Houses is what really controls the market, hedging buys/sells to ensure there's always one winner in trading. Have you noticed how the world indices have (apart from the rare blip like y'day) no longer follow each other.....it was too predictable. I remember several years ago a Spread bets trader on indices lost over 25 grand on the FTSE in a downer day, only to recover 15 grand shorting the DOW in the afternoon.

Anyway.... long term, the underlying slow increase in value remains, hence why the funds do well over a longer time scale. Yes, it is frustrating for long termers with no further funds, but great opp for you offerman + even Rossannan!.

Just noticed some bailing at 5.2p why on Earth for ?why sells at these levels Herd mentality. Can't they see the company is going places ? I get frustrated not by the so going down as like I said I'll be buying a lot more as no doubt Schroeder's will too. I'm frustrated by not knowing the mechanics of what drives or actually stipulates the price down or up .Like I said earlier if the Dow rose 1000 points then all the stocks on the monitor list would appear with 5,6,7% gains. So why when round the other way did they drop and get marked down by so much. And actually who sets that price physically I mean who actually says right okay it needs to be at this price now because the dow dropped

[offerman] 06/2/2018 09:14

But I'm still at a loss as to who or what marks the share price down? Do mms just hit buttons as well as stop losses?

[12bn] 06/2/2018 09:01

Firstly you buy your shares via a broker,he then gets the best price that the MMs are offering. There are several different companies making different bids/offers for shares. The best buy price for PIs (lowest) offered by all the different firms becomes the offer and the best (highest) price willing to be paid by all the firms becomes the bid. The individual firms can change the prices that they are willing to buy/sell at. If the Dow drops 1100 pts as it did last night then all of the MMs may decide that they don't like the risk of buying PIs shares at the previous days price,so the bid can drop without even a single transaction.

Ok so can someone explain this .

I have always been told stocks move on buys and sells and news relevant to individual companies .

So how can a stock drop on barely any trades . Just because Dow falls why do all other stocks drop ?

Sure , Dow is dropping due to very rich investors buying and selling it . But those investors haven’t bought in to these shares or bailing these shares.

So how does a stock drop ?
Can mms just press a button on a stock to set its price. I’m just intrigued how the price actually can move without buys and sells ?//////Some investors here really don't know even the basics of the stockmarket,like offerman. Here I will explain it to you in the next post.

Stock Plunge Would Need to Get Much Worse to Derail U.S. Economy

→ U.S. enjoying solid gains in spending, investment, hiring
→ Drop of 20% or more would be ‘a real threat’ to expansion

[offerman] 06/2/2018 08:38

Also strange is if the Dow rose a 1000 In one go then not all these stocks would show blue and the same growth percentages as seen as these losses today on my list. Mark barker, you seem switched on and city wise. Could you help explain please bud

David Lenigas called the Cedros Peninsular LGOs 800 lb gorilla years ago but it was never drilled by them. Discussion about drilling the deep Herrera sandstone goes back to 2010 but nothing ever came of it,why? The reason is probably linked to the fact that the last attempt, back in the 80s I think,resulted in a lost drill and failure. The costing of such a drill was discussed and $15m-$20m was the estimate but I accept that that was many years ago and costs change.

Someone just bailed here with their 5k shares ,seriously ? Shylocks enjoying them selves down 4.5% on 300k shares sold ... ffs.
