Electrocomponents Share Discussion Threads

This practice is common now a days in the market place, because the market is moving with emotion. If you enter in the long/short position in the spread betting or cfd account you are betting against odds. I have experience the bog brother has the power to manipulate.
I have never made money in the betting or CFD, If you have the cash just buy the share and wait for your killing.

Mail on Sunday MIDAS full article and tip yesterday "Buy the shares & hold".

Looks like it's wanted today..

[sleveen] 17/2/2014 12:40

Bought back in this am, looks like the start of an uptrend?

[alared] 25/10/2013 07:56

They are hovering just under the 300p mark.
This is where they were in 2005 on their downward trend only to ever get back to it briefly twice since, in 2008 and 2011.

Are they going to go above it today,but more importantly ----- stay above it.
Their track record says NOT.

[alared] 19/10/2013 08:23

ECM has only broke 300p twice in the last 12 years and then only briefly.
I`m not a chartist so maybe someone could give the expected trading range of this so called break out.

[hyden] 18/10/2013 22:21

Looking very nice on the two year chart. :-)

[deadly] 18/10/2013 21:49

Wrong - breaking out now

[alared] 09/10/2013 12:39

Peaked at 285p after update on 2/10/13 now back to usual downturn for another six months.
At least there`s the divi.

Stop your shares being used for shorting.....this was taken from a CFD site

There are two things you can do, the first is to certificate them but this is not obviously to everyone's advantage but the alternative solution is simple. All you do is to phone your broker and put an order in saying that you wish to place your shares for sale at, for arguments sake, double today's price. As they are 'on order' they cannot be lent out by your broker and in turn you are reducing the amount of 'free shares' out there that can be used for shorting purposes. And don't forget to move your limit order up when the price starts to recover, then, that way your shares can't be shorted - not much but helps.

Although an individual personal investor will not normally have enough shares to halt a concerted shorting attack, if a large number of holders did this it would reduce the overall amount of shares that they could get their hands on.

Well worth doing if not only for the knowledge that your own shares cannot and will not be used in a short attack against the very share that you own.

ps
They pay a decent divi, that`s about all you can say.

[alared] 16/9/2013 13:57

Break out to what?
Here`s what I posted on the 2/2/12and my views not altered.

"ECM is usually linked to Farnell, who have also shown some improvement this last few days.
Don`t get too excited by ECM, I`ve been disappointed too many times.
Clearly a good statement due tomorrow.
Getting to 275 would be great -------- so I could ditch them FOREVER."

Farnel have an update this Thursday and ECM 2/10/13.

Ecm have been briefly to 300p only twice in the last ELEVEN years.

I watching very closely now -------------- ready to ditch.

[deadly] 16/9/2013 10:14

Break out - highest for 2 years.

[deadly] 12/8/2013 17:48

Still rising on a down day.

[volsung] 23/4/2013 13:37

I can pick em LOL

[volsung] 22/4/2013 10:39

Looks like a nice short for a nice boy to sell

[birdsedgeuk] 06/4/2013 22:22

Been bought on www.traderdiary.co.uk

Here's a thought.

On the monthly chart,in the Ftse's recent history,the last time the RSI was in the same area as it is now(63) and trending up was in Jan 2005 when the ftse was 4,814.It rose to a high of 6,752 in Oct 2007....

The time before that when the RSI was in the same area as it is now and trending up was in June 1995 and the FTSE was at 3,265.It rose to a high of 6,950 in Dec 1999.

Both times in the past on the monthly chart when the RSI trended up through c62 there was a big rally.The first one lasting for four years and the second lasting for just over two years and the RSI went well into over bought(70) and stayed there for a long time.

FTSE is now at 6,263 and,you guessed it,the RSI is at 63 on the monthly chart and trending up for the first time since Jan 2005.

LONG TERM BULL RUN COMING UP TO TAKE THE FTSE 100 WELL OVR 7000!

I drew this chart up as ECM looked to be making a good recovery.Since then the price did indeed break out of my bullish pattern with a nice white wide range candlestick and is on track to meet the first target.....

ECM break out chart 25/01/13:248p

I like this chart so I thought I would draw it up!

ECM has been on a general down trend since june 2011 and,with the recent rally,has broken out of it.The rally from the early December low of 202p has taken it to a high of 250p in early Jan this year.This formed the flag pole and the sideways trend it is in now is the flag.The price is now at 248p and needs to break through 250p for confirmation of the bullish pattern.The break through should see a move to c295p where the rally will more then likely stall again.

ECM has an IMS on friday so this could well re kick start the rally again.
I dont think the market is expecting any fireworks from it so a better then expected statement may well be enough!
