Love this share

TV stock pundits are saying we are due a correction - my portfolio has been, "correcting" the past month!

Nice recovery on the Chancellor's pledge to freeze scotch duty.

£15 is certainly possible, maybe even as low as £12 could be hit.

The whole FTSE350 Beverage sector is heading into a stage 4 downtrend as well which should start alarm bells ringing straight away.

The second big negative is the sector has been stuck in stage 3 for a year. Falls are always bigger the larger the base.

The recent small rally from the start of Feb should serve as a good opportunity to get out while you still can, and move into one of the stronger sectors.

Oxford, any downside target price, TIA.

This looks to be heading into a stage 4 downtrend. Trading below the 30 week MA which is also turning downwards. If I was a holder I would be selling now as there is a high risk to the downside and very little potential upside.

Skinny you are not so perfect. The word used was 'with' not 'to'. Your assumption of gender is also questionable.

The closing price was still negative - impacted by the 'broker error' I assume. Marketing op for Diageo - publish the 'tipple' responsible.

[blunderbuss] 30/1/2014 21:31

They were all sells, unsurprisingly. I guess the mms took all they could get at those silly prices and sold back on the bounce.

"I have spoke to" - obviously English is not his first language.

Quite a few trades did go through - see post 442 above.

[artibee] 30/1/2014 16:42

this is the answer from barclays:


Thank you for your email regarding your order for Diageo shares.


"I confirm your order was not dealt as the price only briefly showed a drop to 1691 at 9:26 for under a minute.

I have spoke with the dealers and they confirmed this sudden drop was due to a Market Maker inputting an incorrect order which resulted in the stock going into auction. During this time we cannot trade. As soon as it was resolved trading resumed and you will see looking at the intraday chart, the graph resumed from the same point where it dropped from.

I confirm your order is still on and if the price does reach your target price it will execute your order."

Yes, I wonder if you would have got stopped out though!

[skinny] 30/1/2014 16:23

Apparently it did :-

Did this go into auction this morning? Bet you couldn't have bought that dip - but they would have stopped you out on it.

[essentialinvestor] 30/1/2014 13:13

Fair enough, clearly that has been a great strategy, it's the short term SP
that my post concerns and the market may not agree with me, I don't short btw
my timing is sadly not that good.

[blunderbuss] 30/1/2014 12:31

Short term you may be right Essentials, but I've held, reinvested dividends and added on the dips for 10 years, and I have to say big dips like this don't come around very often. Good management will nearly always deliver.

[essentialinvestor] 30/1/2014 11:18

Not short DGE, would state that if I was.

If investors have a more optimistic take on results fair enough.

[blunderbuss] 30/1/2014 11:14

Good luck with the short Essential

[careful] 30/1/2014 10:50

is this yet another example of a new ceo 'kitchen sinking'.
he will be a hero after he 'sorts out this mess' etc.

we have seen it so often.

[essentialinvestor] 30/1/2014 10:47

Free cash flow is a shocker imv and net debt Up again.

[essentialinvestor] 30/1/2014 10:38

Heading for £17 FWIW.

[artibee] 30/1/2014 10:35

exactly - I had orders at 1750 and 1700 which have not been filled - maybe later!!

i was trying to buy the spike.
but for some reason the spread between the buying price and selling price suddenly widened and then corrected itself.

the buying price never spiked down.
(some cfd's who went long on todays fall may have been tripped out on margin by that spike.)
it has happened to me in the past..can we trust these market people?

[james8] 30/1/2014 10:29

seems real. (seen it on another site) Fat fingers??
