He was probably being polite and actually he should have said Tollie-Wallie.

Looks like the ADVFN Toll-i Walli is getting a right caning on his short
CR

The statement sounds like a report out of one of those Chinese listed stocks ;-)

Market doesn't lie, PCL is under going a nose dive, it only kicked off late last year, takes a year or two to gather momentum, the increase in interest rates will assist the slide.

Patience required to get a decent short entry point.

[kemche] 29/7/2015 11:33

I think you are right.
Down with that sort of thing!

By the way: there, they're and their. Apparently they all mean different things.

Who'd have thunk it?

The only "fact" that is obvious Mikey is that you started this silly thread in February when the share price was 160p and it is now 240p, and at this point in time it is the only fact that is relevant.

[mike740] 29/7/2015 11:26

Indeed indeed.

Dont think the management here are playing fair with there shareholders.

Looks to me like that statement was drafted a week or so ago and Citywire seem to pick up on this on my above post....686.

[ny boy] 29/7/2015 11:18

Just use the opportunity to short on any run up to 300p before the interest rate increase cycle commences.

[mike740] 29/7/2015 11:10

Just a few facts that have come out in the last few minutes......

Blood on the residential street? Revenues at London estate agent Foxtons have dropped in the first half, as property sales slide.
The figures:

Group revenue at the agency fell 2.3 per cent to £71.1m for the six months to 30 June, while property sales fell 10.9 per cent against 2014, when the market was operating at a post-recession peak.

Pre-tax profits have dropped 21 per cent to £18.1m.

Adjusted EBITDA fell from £24.9m last year, representing a margin of 34.3 per cent - to £20.5m, a margin of 28.9 per cent.


so there you are REVENUES DOWN, PROFITS DOWN, MARGINS DOWN, and a management team that dont warn on the impact of Dodgy Daves attempt at getting rid of dirty money and increased interest rates.

I wouldnt trust this lot going forward with kemches little pole.

[kemche] 29/7/2015 10:47

Oh dear mikey. Presumably you have proof for your bold assertion?
Just out of interest, what stocks do I hold?

Your mocking cuts me deep mikey. Please have a thought for my feelings.

[kemche] 29/7/2015 10:29

You have hurt me deeply mike.
And all this time I was hanging onto your coat tail.

But you are right in your observation - I do not have a brain. My capacity for independent thought and objective analysis are no match for your superior intellect. That much you have proven, and continue to prove on a daily basis. I am truly humbled.

Foxtons sales revenues tumble

The ambience at Foxtons plc HQ will be a bit different to the ebullience at Rightmove Towers this morning, as the London estate agency reports a chunky 10.9% drop in property sales revenue in its half yearly report.

Also don't forget to end every sentence indeed indeed. And if really manic (nurse has somehow missed you on the medication run) add a third indeed for luck. :o)

[kemche] 29/7/2015 09:27

telbap, but I have. It is the world famous Smoked Herring system. I am surprised that you have not heard of it. It's all the rage down my neck of the woods.
I can let you have a copy at no charge. All I ask is that you prove to me that you are as crazy as a box of frogs and have an unblemished record of making absolute howlers. A multiple personality disorder and a propensity for bitterness will also help your cause. And you must be able to utter the following sentence in a broad northern accent - " I am considerably richer than yaaw".
You can contact me at: [e-mail]

[kemche] 29/7/2015 09:07

I have reported the scandalous price increase to the relevant authorities - the FCA, the LSE, Scotland Yard, and MI5.
And I will try to make sure that my bitterness does not become transparent.
But that CR makes my blood boil!
And I will devote my entire life to hatred.

[mike740] 29/7/2015 09:00

Demand for London homes under construction slumped by 27 percent in the second quarter as high prices and a sale-tax increase damped demand.
Presales in the U.K. capital fell to about 5,109 from 7,046 in the same period last year, broker Chestertons said, citing data compiled by Molior London Ltd.

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne hurt sentiment when he raised the stamp duty sales tax for luxury homes in December, while demand has also been dented by affordability tests and loan-to-income restrictions by lenders. The slump is worrying developers because they use down-payment income from off-plan transactions to help secure construction finance.

“There’s definitely some nervousness” among developers because of the stamp-duty changes, according to Mark Farmer, head of the residential team at consulting firm EC Harris LLP. “There’s also an overall sense perhaps that London is just expensive at the moment.”

Developers are focusing on the most expensive areas including Kensington and Chelsea, which has spurred the average sale price of brand-new properties in London past 1,000 pounds ($1,540) a square foot for the first time, according to data compiled by property magazine Estates Gazette earlier this month.

Demand remains high for homes in Canary Wharf, east London’s financial district, and in other neighborhoods in the boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Newham, according to Nick Barnes, head of research at Chestertons.

Better than expected results here..

[mike740] 29/7/2015 08:46

The longs here are carrying big loses look at the chart.

For a management not to warn on the two items I mention above is a scandal.

Still, short at 277p Im still raking it in.

One day wonder.
