Well, what d'ya know, a hint of a breakout at an all time high? My sell button's gone cool and I'm staying for now. Don't follow AIM, sorry.

[melody9999] 06/2/2007 12:55

Come on davpat - now must be an excellent time to sell - just hitting resistance??!
Chartist dream - just look at that row of lower highs.
O/T but bearing in mind our liking of long term growth stock here - you might be interested in LAM. DYOR

Two words: "Bird Flu".

I'm going long.

[davpat] 03/2/2007 10:25

Very happy here melody,(and I got into RPS at the 286p breakout!).

[melody9999] 02/2/2007 22:45

RPS away now then with an acquisition. And here we are moving towards 660p again.

[melody9999] 29/1/2007 17:24

Dav - no great volume on RPS at present - needs some news to break out from 285p perhaps. No great volume on DTY either - if you get a chart that corrects the £1 hand out- then DTY looks superb. 630p was a higher low which means 660p will be under threat at some point soon IMHO.

[davpat] 26/1/2007 13:51

melody - I'm amazed I'm still in here. Spent so long with my finger on the sell button @ 630 bid it hurt. But here we are with a little rally. The macd is turning up nicely, as is the 50AV, rsi going up thru 50. Small volumes though, but who knows, might be a false dawn. On the other hand that 660p resistance could have been there long enough and we just sail thru it.
AIM I admit I steer clear of. Got hurt in the past, never again, just like your learned lesson.
Now then, RPS is starting to look attractive again, wonder if I might just pop a toe in here, or wait for a definite breakout.....

[melody9999] 25/1/2007 22:52

Davpat - VLK has been my one blip so far in my current year (starts October). Bought at 103 at what I thought was a dip. Was convinced it was going to 120+ and held ...and held. Then baled at the bottom 83p. That one is off my radar for a long time now - guess I get a bit superstitious about these things - learned another lesson. look like 660p might become significant resistance here.

By the way, we are interested in similar stocks so have a look at LAM - 4 years all with 100% + eanings growth - bullish report, rating in the teens and not noticed yet except by some of the funds.

[melody9999] 19/1/2007 13:34

davpat - I tend to work on 3 principles
1 core holdings
2 investments in high growth companies with solid fundamentals ie profitable
3 shorter term buys where charts are more important and my fundamental conditions can be relaxed a little

DTY is a core holding - I don't sell core holdings unless there is some underlying change in the market or the companies management / prospects. DTY has gone up the best part of 50% in the past year - you might argue thats a good reason to sell - for me its a good reason to hold because nothing has changed so why would it not continue to rise? Even if it was 640 in a years time that is still a 25% annual ROI! It retraced to 610 not long ago and then bounced - daresay that will happen again?

I'm still sore over 2 decisions - sold TMN 3 days ago at 85 when the Fin Dir sold. Sold RCG at same time because I thought it had gone up very quickly and would re-trace. Better just to hold em!!!

[davpat] 18/1/2007 12:10

melody...well, for all its steadiness up till now, today I have again found myself thinking about a stop loss for DTY. I think if it breaks strongly down through the 50 AV line I might take action. We need news. You're right, January is an up and down month and boy are we seeing it this year. I used to be in RPS, a good company in environment control. The only other 'steady eddie' that I have an interest in is GOG. But my others like PFC, OPD can be unsettling at times. I would prefer not to have to watch the screen too often!

sorry duplicate - broadband a bit weak - or maybe fat finger!!

[melody9999] 18/1/2007 00:16

Dav - dunno now! think I had drawn a trendline and could see us moving on up to 680p within the trend. I'm happy to stick around here because - don't know about you - would not be surprised to see a little correction soon - if it wasn't for strength in the Dow, think we would have seen a larger reaction to the interest rate / inflation news. And I read in the Almanac that Jan is a volatile month. we'll see! Do you have any other DTY's. I'm in AVV and RPS and they are going nicely.

[davpat] 15/1/2007 14:09

>>>melody...haven't looked at this BB for a few days. Just as a matter of interest, you've got me guessing with your "20pt jump". Is that 20p or 20%? LOL! Either way I think its winding itself up nicely for a break up heavenwards.
DAVPAT

[melody9999] 11/1/2007 23:17

Might get a bit of a kick up from 660 when it does break - could be 20pt jump

[davpat] 08/1/2007 12:18

Dunno Melody, but last year early Feb there was trading info tagged onto the first detail about A and B note issues. Results due in March? Only kidding about being bored, perhaps wanting news thats all, like you.
DAVPAT

[melody9999] 08/1/2007 00:15

Hmmm - dangerous to sell out of boredom methinks - we have seen 10% share price increase in last 3 months - must'nt be too greedy. Sure we'll be on the way again soon....when is the next trading update?

[davpat] 05/1/2007 10:04

Yes Melody, charts show a 'wait and see' effect, typical of a lifeless (but secure) stock like this, and I've noticed the share price has tended to stay fairly close to the 50 day AV. I think this sideways move could go on for a little longer before hopefully going north again. If not, I might be tempted to sell a few out of boredom!
