Fevertree Drinks Share Discussion Threads

PI, it's a good question.

I balance my knowledge and experience [only a beginner at 2-3yrs] with that I have learnt from books and websites.

Bulkowski says that flags and pennants have a max duration of 15 sessions, otherwise they are re-classed as triangles, wedges or rectangles. I allow up to 20 sessions, as from experience this works well for me.

So is the pennant here complete?
Is it a pennant or flag at all?
Or is it the beginning of a longer term pattern?

I'm not sure! I just try to keep a flexible attitude and let the price be my guide.

I think pennants and flags can b/o anytime. [within the 15-20 session limit]

Bamboo, just a question, don't the moves usually come before the end of the pennant ?

[bamboo2] 03/8/2017 10:26

Sogo, Re, the Pennant, I have a lower trendline that extends from 26/7 to 2/8 [3 good contact points]

An upper trendline from 27/7 to 2/8. [4 contacts]

The apex of these two lines is one of my potential turns. [The other is from an earlier Symmetrical Triangle.]

The Pennant is tilted upward. I would much prefer a classical downward pennant against the prior trend.

EOD close above 2218 to confirm furter positive price action.

A very short pennant seems to have broken out on 31/07 but looking for support at 2160p.
Any upwards movement is very open so my £24'ish TP is in the background... but that's for end year.
I don't see any catalysts around for sometime so, as you say bamboo, consolidation most probably the name of the game... apart from any surprises!
My last purchase was at 1685p.

Two potential turns on my chart occur 2-3 August. Will be interesting to see if they have any effect. Could suggest the start of a consolidation period.

Every tenbagger was a two-bagger along the way. And when it was, there were always those saying "It's doubled, I'm not buying it this high." Likewise when it trebled or quadrupled.

[sogoesit] 02/8/2017 08:50

Yep, interesting.

Also... "never buy a top"?
"Momentum" investing has been proven to work.
A momentum/growth stock tends to be on a continuous rising trend.
By definition, therefore, a purchase or entry will always be "at a top"!!

NYboy ".. never buy market tops.."

Really? Never buy a breakout? I often do.

Methinks you would have a fit if seeing what this guy does!:

I was the US recently.

FT prominent in a range of stores from supermarkets to wine shops. Distribution appears to be struggling to meet demand - sold out in quite a few categories in more than one outlet.

In smaller outlets, FT was sole premium mixer, but Fentimans was also in larger stores, but appeared to be selling less well.

MartyW - no I haven't tried the cola yet tbh. I don't drink it but one would hope they would be doing some taste tests among US mixer drinkers before full launch!Regarding Franklin and Sons - it was in Waitrose and similar price to Fevertree. Taste of naturally light equivalent was ok to me, but not better than FT. They also appear to have far more limited distribution atm. Think we are quite save (for now!) as Fevertree took the tonic product at least up a huge level and others can join us there, but FT has the first mover advantage. Another one appearing in fancy restaurants is Folkingtons but again taste was not memorable IMHO.

£22 today, the shares are in great demand.
There is an apettite for them.

A maybe £24 is the next milestone.

ADVFN's resident short scaremongerer guru giving long term shareholders advice about how to invest in growth/momentum stocks.
Lol.

Never buy market tops, large correction in general equity markets after the summer hols, dance near to the exit doors, could get ugly sept/Oct.

Some financial analysis:

Gin fizz? This tonic stock has gained over 1,300% in 3 years

The first mention of Fever-Tree on that website.

[jerseymike] 30/7/2017 14:55

Apart from Sainsbury's, Franklins looks very high end. I've never seen or heard of it before. How does its tonic price compare to Fevertree?

[mastermatto] 29/7/2017 16:42

I saw a new competitor called Franklin and Sons advertising on the tube at oxford circus station. Premium tonic brand with a very similar image to Fever Tree.

The Times today says RBC Capital Markets have a tp of £24 and think that FEVR have only scratched the surface of the U.S market. So a good bit still to go for.

Anybody come across Double Dutch?, IMHO don't see them as competition at the moment.....but always worth keeping an eye on what others are doing.hTTp://doubledutchdrinks.com/DD
