GWtF,I am long the trade but chart wise no history to work with and the up move was with low volume.So I can't say I am that sure.

Go with the flow:
All true but you missed out the price relative the ftse all-shares downtrend has been broken and looks like the retest has been succesful.So if your software allows it draw a line at around 20% there is a double top and she's having a third go. A break above that would suggest a run up may well be on the cards if its not started already. I shorted EXPN on that relaive strength double. My short entry price was 445p with a target of 400p I got stoped out on friday at 420p after the price recovered from 412p for the 3rd day on the trot another bullish sign. A move above 425p and I'll take a long bet with a target price of 460p where there is a gap.

Since July last year, prices have moved nicely within a downtrend channel. However, the recent advance is putting pressure on the resistance trendline. Technically, a break above this trendline would suggests a reversal of the downtrend, with a potential move to the lateral resistance at 500p. Moreover, its relative performance against the market appears to have bottomed out. Therefore, one may start buying this stock as it moves towards a trend change - tight stops of course!
Well what do you make of that, all you chartists out there?

Chaps - check out GBG if you think Experian's ID verification is any good. They have the best technology in the market place, are expanding globally, have all the top 10 gaming companies on board, O2, talking to the banks, lots of stuff in the pipeline and are about to go profitable for the year end to March. They've spent 4 years developing the system in conjunction with BT, have plenty of cash in the bank and a market cap

OT .... but an indication of how our personal data is becoming ever more international:

US authorities will not be able to see data covering all UK households even if a US defence giant wins the contract to run the 2011 census, a minister says.
The US Patriot Act allows personal data held by companies in the US to be made available to intelligence agencies.



PS: Presently I'm still neutral on EXPN. At this level not going to commit eitherway. But if falls under 400p will consider buying dependant on other events....

[yas0] 07/2/2008 14:18

The lost CD brigade are quiet again. At 440p they were telling me it was off to the races, with a new high of 500p only days away.

Back on planet earth, EXPN is not far shy of the 400p pit stop I referred to. But then i might not bother doing a review at 400p, rather undertaking the same at 350p, since that is where this stock is going.

Yasturba - I have outlined the business case several times in the past couple of weeks - scroll back and do some proper work.

[yas0] 06/2/2008 13:12

Williebuzzzz,

You are a numpty. You have yet to outline the bull case for EXPN.

I have provided you with the reasons for being bearish.

Now can you provide me with some form of analysis to substantiate your view. Once you have done so, I shall point out the considerable errors in your thesis.

Now remove yourself from the pond, and get scribbling.

[williebiz] 06/2/2008 10:19

That wouldn't be defeat: I'm an investor not a gambler whoops trader

[yas0] 06/2/2008 10:19

Slab indicates above that he is needed to attend to a problem. I hope it is a serious one. lol. It would give me great satisfaction.

Further, he indicates he had forecast the fall from 440p to 410p - if that was the case why did he indicate going long on Monday afternoon at 435p?

Enough said.

[yas0] 06/2/2008 10:17

I note that Slab has conceded defeat. Williebuzzz shall do the same in due course.

I hope he has his excuses ready when this hits 400p, and then 350p thereafter.

Bubbling bubbling ready to boil, plenty of buying interest. Next leg up to 468-475p due soon.

[sllab101] 05/2/2008 22:28

yaS,Sorry I have not got back too you but my son had a problem and he needs me far more than you need me.I have not looked at your posts today.But I did forcast this drop last night and I have no problem with the drop at the moment if it goes much further I will have a problem.

I can't keep this fight up so I will bow out and our paths will not cross again.


Well done shorts hope you made good money.

I see 'rival' Equifax Q4 data is out.

Credit reporting bureau Equifax Inc. said Monday its
fourth-quarter profit rose 4 percent, boosted by an acquisition and double-digit sales growth in several operating segments.


Also note they're in to India:

Equifax Inc. said Tuesday it has partnered with two Indian
companies to establish a credit-scoring firm in India, where a blossoming
economy offers fertile opportunity.

[yas0] 05/2/2008 21:58

Still no response from Slab - oh dear, oh dear.

[yas0] 05/2/2008 16:48

First we lost the CD
Now we have lost Slab, who has been made to appear a little foolish.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[yas0] 05/2/2008 16:47

Nick,

I do not invest on the basis of charts. However, I did call BG. as a long for a year or so at below 800p last year. I have no position in it now, but am wary of shorting it notwithstanding the rise. You cannot rule out the prospect of a bid at BG., though the valuation is rather full. Right now I do not have a view on it.

dyor.

[n1ckcfm2000] 05/2/2008 16:30

Did you see BG.? thats a classic bearish engulfment... ..very similar to what happened with expn... watch it ..

[yas0] 05/2/2008 16:14

This is what Slab wrote on here yesterday...oh dear. Another failed call. But then he is a virtual trader and thus the losses are not real. Any explanation on how you got it wrong again? No, thought not.
Bet against the gracious fellow at your peril.

"Had readers folowed you they would now be counting thier losses"...

Did you miss your English lesson in the school today?

[yas0] 05/2/2008 15:20

Willieebuzzzz writes that the gracious fellow is worried about his short. Well, if making profits leads to worry then i hope to be worried some more.

The fact is EXPN is a profitable short for the gracious fellow - if I was worried I would simply go long.

I shall see bulls at 400p for a pit stop.

[yas0] 05/2/2008 15:18

Followme,

Had readers followed you they would now be counting their losses. Fortunately they had some sense to ignore your rants of lunacy.

Good luck with your long - you shall need it.

[follow me2] 05/2/2008 14:32

i picked up at 421p.
