Obviously the institutions have different pricing to the retail investors but there was a spike of buying ahead of the ex-div date and some selling when it went ex-div, the price dropping by more than the dividend, now it is creeping up again.

I think timing the market is another mugs game, one which seems perfectly easy using a rear view mirror but is just impossible looking at today's market. Look at any given share today and ask what is it going to do tomorrow, in a month, in a year; go up, go down, stay the same? We retail investors can never know. Buy and hold is the only game for small fry ("time in the market").

That said, there are always anomalies, sometimes a share goes up or down for no apparent reason or for reasons which don't make sense, if you are confident in your scepticism then it may be a good selling or buying opportunity but it is still a gamble.

I always look at the fallers and risers pages and check any large movements, sometimes they are over-reactions. A couple of years ago, UPGS (now ULTP) had a sharp fall based on a 'revenues might be a bit flat' RNS. That seemed overdone to me so I got some. They went down for a couple of days but I was in profit in a few weeks, my holding has now nearly tripled in value and I have also had about 1/3 of my purchase price in dividends. I continue to hold because I think their business model is sound.

Back on topic, I'm surprised that there hasn't been a bid for GAW from a major US media company. Were there any such rumours I'd probably sell into any rise because I couldn't see a bidding war happening and if the bid came to nothing there would be a share price drop.

fenners66 - "what about when to invest?" should be purely based on current valuations of a company. A company is worth its future free cash flows discounted by cost of capital. I used to do DCF analysis. However,I figured out recently that its just a waste of time. Extrapolating current trends linearly in a cyclical economy is a fools paradise imo. So I would look at some key valuation metrics especially like FCF yield and P/E ratio and compare them against the 5y average of the company and the industry. After all, a great business does not mean a great investment. Warren Buffet's biggest regret was not selling Coca-Coca in 1999 when trading at PE 50. In the subsequent 25y, the share price only rose 50% (c.$40 to c.$60). There is a silver lining to that too. It was a mature business trading at 50x which is extremely high. A small-mid cap stock at 50x is not the same as large cap stock at 50x where growth opportunities are way limited. What I meant by technical analysis was just looking at charts and seeing 'patterns'...oh this is a flag, oh this is a pennant,,oh head and shoulders etc. Everyone can see these patterns which means that if everyone was doing the same thing, there would be no liquidity in the market. And that is clearly not the case. Algorithms are based mostly on macro news so for instance weak Chinese data meant less demand for luxury and as a result whole luxury sector took a beating last couple of weeks. This is the opportunity for long-term investors to jump. I wanted to start my own fund but couldn't gather the required AUM. Investing is my passion and so if anyone wants to share/exchange ideas, you can email me at akhilsoni86@gmail.com. I have a concentrated portfolio of few stocks. Have a good day.

Whilst I wholeheartedly agree that you should invest in a company based on fundamentals - what about when to invest?

That is where at least for large cap shares that attract institutions there must be some milage in the technicals.

You see shares go up and down all the time. The fundamentals are unchanged - or by the time we see the results twice a year they are, but in the interim the share prices are volatile.

Much of that volatility must be driven by algorithms. So if the "technicals" are mimicing the algorithms used to drive institutional trading that will be where they add value. After all the algo's are using the same data.

Surely everyone does their own "technical" analysis to some extent ? Like should I buy today but the chart looks like its going down ? Maybe wait and buy tomorrow cheaper ?

Sorry, I meant £120. Yeah, I agree with you. I don't agree with technical analysis as I mentioned earlier. It will work 1 out of 10 times and people focus on that one time it worked. I was more curious about high volume traded today and closed at ATH. If Warren Buffett can't predict the share price movements, who are we?! Interesting to see price action in the next few days. Having said that, it's a marathon, not a sprint :)

I commented here on Sept 10 "if you do a google trends search of Warhammer 40k, it just went vertical up. share price asleep at the wheels, as usual". Thankfully, not only I commented but also it seems the moment the share price woke up and has gone up ever since. Cannot complain since I also made a big top up to the position on that day :)

Lovely to see GAW within touching distance of the 11,500 pence breakout target.

The great news is there is more to come, and GAW will punch out to new highs over the next 6 weeks as the Chikou Span Cross and Kumo Breakout continue onwards. It may need a percent or two pull back first.

One of the best Ichimoku charts out there

For decades, GAW chose to pay a premium for a high street storefront. The rents and rates often put own stores into a loss. GAW justified this, calling them recruitment centres rather than retail stores. I had this conversation many times with investors during the 1980s and 90s. GAW stuck with this and it paid off. Anyone standing near a GW high street store will see it is like a honeypot to bees.

Not sure but its going to move the GAW share price and looking forward to the special dividends!

and since North American sales are greater than UK they should benefit from the US consumer with higher than average disposable income still going strong, plus US revenues while paying UK wages to produce items. Still, that did not prevent GAW share price to fall below pre-covid highs.

Edison is the last on the room who need to downgrade, surprised it is taking them so long.
