Recently thought to be a good buy (on basis of point and figure chart: good risk-reward ratio) on the daily chart on t1ps. Also, has broken out.

Bad news tends to follow bad news so, on the balance of probabilities, this thing should be sold.

[jules123] 15/12/2003 15:06

Thanx for that!!! Focused me further.

Find some comfort in both those postings cos was feeling a bit lonely!!

[m.t.glass] 12/12/2003 21:05

I need to see another white candle, with a higher close (say over 340), before reading it as a (early October type) buy. And even then I wouldn't stake much in case it turns down a few days after. But I'm just a sceptical old bear who frequently watches ferryboatloads of people sailing without him while waiting for a better tide :-o

[josephmsmith] 12/12/2003 20:46

nope, bought in today on reverse of bear trend.
Hopefully have timed it right with the price about to break thru the 7 day EMA.

[jules123] 11/12/2003 10:17

Am I the only one watching this?? Chart luking optimistic and no news for long enough.

[jules123] 14/11/2003 16:21

Dunno if anyone else is watching this.
Last results were lacklustre and price took a bit of stick.
Lots of volume today and price holding up. Something in the offing?

excerpt:

"..... In April 2002 the price stood at 473p, but by the end of the year it had retreated to 226p. Since then there has been a bounce that looks suspiciously like one of the dead cat variety, taking the stock up to 310p earlier this month. At this point the momentum appears to have run out and the shares have now broken back below the 300p level. Given the fact that the HSS unit has been trading weaker than expected, the group has attracted downgrades for 2002 and 2003 from Merrill Lynch, just to add to the misery."

Davis Service Group - Slips due to possible weakness of HSS - shares magazine

[dr darkstar] 29/12/2002 17:37

Bounced right on old time support

[cat] 29/12/2002 14:41

me too - went out for day and covered when I came back in to see the reversal.

[superdealer] 29/12/2002 14:38

I was short but closed it on Friday because of the high volume. Will reopen the short if it runs out of steam.

[cat] 28/12/2002 00:24

looking like something smelly's about to pop

[cat] 27/12/2002 16:22

agreed - looks like it might reverse quite a bit from hre - the volumes gone thro' the roof this pm

[superdealer] 27/12/2002 15:25

Some quite large buying this afternoon. Dead cat bounce or the start of a run northwards?

[zeallan] 27/12/2002 10:12

I guess everyone else knew something I didn't

[zeallan] 26/6/2002 16:31

And then it all goes very quiet...

Anyone still got any interest here or did everyone except me get out after the divs?

[mikeran] 10/4/2002 15:28
